If you’re like me, you are wondering how you can leverage this incredible new technology in a way that can generate a side hustle income, and what better time than at the cusp of it! Below are my top tips in creating an income online with generative AI.

Use Generative AI to Create Art and Sell on Stock Sites

There are so many amazing tools these days to create incredible Generative AI art. Some of the most recognisable softwares being Dalle E 2, Stable diffusion, Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, and so much more. All these tools have the capability to generate incredible pictures; everything from photo realism to abstract art.

As someone who is an avid Adobe user, they have a filter that you can turn on to show generative AI only on their stock site, and there are plenty of Adobe stock users already taking advantage of this currently to create an income for themselves. You could also use sites like Shutterstock, Alamy, Etsy and so on to sell your art.

Sell Prints on Etsy using Generative AI

I know everyone always says Etsy is highly competitive, and yes it is. But the hard part about it is creating enough content to be recognised to make a profit, but not anymore! You don’t even have to create the design yourself, with the trusty generative AI art softwares I mentioned before, it is as easy as typing a few words. This gives you the ability to mass create lots of content to put on shirts, mugs, etc, in a fraction of the time. If you look up what the best selling things are on Etsy, some of them are shirts, art decor and wall decor.

For example, I used Adobe firefly to create this mock up of a minimalist art with nature design.

I then used Placeit to see what my design would look like on a shirt. This took me less than 2 minutes to create one item I could sell. Imagine how many you could make to sell! It’s almost too good to be true.

A great way to automate this whole process, so you don’t have to lift a finger, is to use Printify and link it to your Etsy. Once a sale is made on Etsy, Printify will take care of the creation of your product and shipping. So simple!

Create Youtube Shorts with Vidyo AI

Now I must preface this by saying to make sure you check the Youtube Copyright Policy.

With certain content (check the policy), you can take someone’s content and create a youtube short with it. Often if you are commentating, reacting, or sharing news, you are allowed to use others’ content and monetise, as long as attribution goes back to the original creator.

Vidyo AI is a software which can create short content from long content in seconds. This means you could create multiple Youtube Shorts with little time, and be posting and getting monetised.

For Instance, I took this video that is over 1 hour long of my favourite comedians podcast, Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura; 2 Bears 1 Cave.

I put it through Vidyo AI and it took approximately 10 minutes to load up and create 51 shorts from the clip.

You can select different text templates with captions, and then its as simple as exporting it.

Here is what it spat out, 1 out of the 51 it created, I thought were funny.

Better yet, you can make these FOR FREE with 75 upload minutes a month at 720p renders.
You could even create your own long form content and create shorts with it if you are already running your own business.

This is a really simple way to create a side hustle!

Use ChatGPT to Write Blogs!

Writing content has never been easier than it has been this year. ChatGPT has revolutionised the AI space. You can create a full blown blog post in under 1 minute, with the right prompts, you’ll have an incredible base to start with for whatever your niche is.

You can use ChatGPT to brainstorm ideas for blogs and/or expand on ideas you already do have.

Below I asked ChatGPT to give me 3 viral blog post topics about AI for everyday people.

ChatGPT Prompt about AI for Everyday People

My blog centers around helping everyday folk understand what’s happening in this space, so it’s important for me to be able to connect with people wanting to learn about AI. Specific prompts help you get the results you are after. I personally use ChatGPT all the time to help me brainstorm ideas, help me with SEO descriptions, and even help me re-write blogs.

This tool is becoming used more everyday, and it makes sense to be taking advantage of it!

Use Wix ADI to Create a Website to Sell to Small Businesses

Now with something as simple as the click of a button with a design template ready to go. With 75% of users judging a website’s credibility based on its design, it is critical for businesses to have a professional looking site. It is also vitally important for small businesses to have a website as people see the business as more credible than if they weren’t to have one.

Again, it is as simple as writing in a few prompts to generate a whole website. You can write in key parts of your business, site style, what you want on the front page, the important links and all. It has never been more simple to create a website.

Better yet, while you barely lifted a finger, you can make heaps by selling these to small businesses with their business plan, put in those key details into the Wix ADI chat bot, and you’ve just made easy money.

Small businesses don’t have the time to stress about this kind of stuff, and they will happily pass this on to someone to create quickly and efficiently.
