I Found The AI Income Ladder

Read time: 3mins

Hey friends, a quick thank you to our sponsors who help keep this newsletter 100% free to you, the reader:

If you are like me, then you are either a small business owner or you would like to start your own business one day. And when you do that, you’re going to NEED a great banking solution that’s truly built just for your business. That means, no fees, no minimum balances, and no bookkeeping problems when tax season rolls around. Relay is an online banking and money management platform that’s a perfect fit for small businesses and one I recommend. AND you can now earn up to 3% APY on savings with Relay savings accounts.

It only takes 10 minutes to apply for a free Relay account, and you can do it online at RelayFi.com

People are making thousands or even tens of thousands every month with AI.

Let me show you how you can scale the AI income ladder to make an extra $1,000 per month but maybe even $300,000+ per year.

Level 1: The AI Freelancer

At this level, you need to look at what tools are available out there. Pick ones that look interesting and start playing around with them.

Once you get a handle on how these tools work, you can do two things:

Selling services and selling content.

There are hundreds of services you can sell. This could be on sites like Fiverr or Upwork.

For example, people make a LOT of money on Fiverr helping other people write and optimize their resumes. Well, there are AI tools that do that for you now like FlowCV. You just need to become the service provider.

You can also sell content. For example, you can sell AI prompts on sites like Promptbase or you can use Midjourney to create coloring book images, then create a coloring book with BookBolt, and then sell the coloring book on Amazon with KDP to make passive income.

Level 2: The AI Influencer

Once you get better at using these tools, you should start sharing what you are learning online.

As you do this on Twitter or TikTok or Youtube or WHEREVER, you will start to build a following.

I’ve watched several AI content YouTube channels grow very rapidly in just a few weeks/months and already start making money.

This one, Obscurious, gained 24,000 subscribers and almost a million views last month.

I’d estimate on the low end just with AD revenue, he’s made $15,000, and on the high end, he’s made $35,000.

Level 3: The AI Instructor

Once you’ve built an audience around your specific AI topics, you can then start instructing.

You can put together a course on how you best use these tools you’ve been learning for specific purposes.

Or you can start a paid community around your particular AI niche where you help people learn and create their own content.

Another option is to start offering one on one coaching/consulting where you help others succeed in AI.

Each of these can easily be a $5-10K a month idea or more.

Level 4: The AI Expert

If you keep getting better and better at AI to the point where you are truly an expert. AND if you decide you don’t want to work for yourself.

Well, then you should take a look at what companies are hiring for right now.

Companies are hiring “AI Whisperer” type positions. They are looking for people who know how to get the most out of AI and get specific results from certain AI tools.

And they are willing to pay for it. One job I looked at offered $335,000 per year. Another recent one offered $130,000 per year.

AI is hot and companies know it. Time to take advantage.

Level 5: The AI Unicorn

The last stage is probably the most difficult but also the more lucrative.

This is where you take all the knowledge you’ve learned and you decide to build your own AI tool(s) or AI company.

The tool could do ANYthing, it’s really just up to your imagination and know-how.

There are two successful outcomes here. You build a great tool and lots of people pay you to use it.

Or you build a great tool/company and it gets acquired for a lot of money.

My main point with all this is that there are TONS of opportunities right now online and with AI.

You just need to do a little thinking and start trying this stuff out.

Worst case, you learn some great skills.

Best case, you learn those skills AND make some money.

See you next week.
