1
What's the laziest way for beginners to make money online using AI?
2
That is one of the most common questions I get asked.
3
And honestly, who doesn't wanna make good money with minimal effort, all while having the freedom to work from anywhere in the world?
4
I've made a video like this before, but since then, AI has changed everything because it can now do 90% of the work for you.
5
So as a millionaire businessman, I'm gonna use my knowledge to finally answer this question.
6
Method one, AI clipping.
7
This is all about getting paid to chop up other people's long form videos into short clips.
8
And you can use AI to do all of the work for you.
9
You see, big creators have hours of podcasts, YouTube videos, and live streams just sitting there.
10
And they know that short clips, like the ones you might see on TikTok or Instagram, are the easiest way to reach new fans.
11
But you probably didn't realize that these creators will happily pay you to post them.
12
It works because the extra exposure that creators gain from these clips earns them far more money than they pay out.
13
Attention is the most valuable currency on the internet.
14
And right now they're buying it from people like you.
15
So here's exactly how you'd start.
16
Step one, find a creator who will pay you to clip up and post their content.
17
The best way to do this is by using a marketplace like this called Content Rewards.
18
Not sponsored by the way, but I do know the guy that runs it.
19
You can browse through all of these different campaigns to find one that suits your interests and has viral potential.
20
For example, here's a campaign that will pay you to clip Lionel Messi playing football and post it on TikTok.
21
As you can see, they'll pay you $1 for every thousand views.
22
So if your clip gets 100,000 views, you get paid $100 and you can post multiple times a day on multiple different accounts.
23
You can download the footage here and then start clipping.
24
Step two is to drop the creators long form videos into an AI clipping tool.
25
I'm using this free one called Opus Clips, but there's loads of options out there.
26
It finds the best moments, cuts the clip, and even adds captions.
27
Step three, post daily to TikTok Shorts and Reels, and submit your links on the marketplace and get paid based on your views.
28
And step four, double down on whatever style of clip is working
29
and take on more campaigns but the real question is how lazy is clipping?
30
For learning curve, I'm gonna say three days.
31
There's honestly not much to learn.
32
The AI does the editing, the platforms track the views, and the campaigns tell you exactly what they want.
33
AI handles pretty much all the process.
34
So I'm gonna put AI does at 90%.
35
The AI finds the moments, makes the cuts, writes the captions, and formats everything for each platform.
36
Your 10% of the work is spent choosing campaigns, posting and paying attention to what works.
37
Startup capital is only around $15 a month for a decent AI editing platform.
38
And the tool stack, which is how many tools you actually need to learn, is just two.
39
WAP to find the campaigns and a tool like Opus Clips, Creo or Catcut to make the clips.
40
Finally, for competition, I'm afraid the truth hurts on this one.
41
It is very high.
42
When something is this easy to start, everyone jumps in.
43
That's just how money works.
44
Low barriers attract big crowds.
45
The good news is that most people give up within a week or two, so consistency alone puts you ahead of 99% of clippers.
46
But keep an eye on this column as we go through the video
47
because I've ordered these seven methods from the most competitive to the least, which means the further we go,
48
the less competition you'll have to deal with and the bigger the opportunities become.
49
Method two, AI ghostwriting.
50
This involves using AI tools to write social media posts, newsletters, and advertising for businesses, creators, or entrepreneurs.
51
They know they should be posting on LinkedIn, sending out newsletters, and putting out content because that's where their next customers are, but they have zero time to write any of it,
52
so they pay a ghostwriter to do it for them.
53
Now, you might be wondering, why wouldn't they just use ChatGPT and get the job done themselves?
54
Well, because there's a bit more to it than typing in a prompt.
55
So if I were you, this is exactly how I'd start.
56
Step one, it's all about positioning.
57
You need to pick your lane.
58
That could be social media posts, newsletters, website text, or writing Facebook ads.
59
Then pick one niche to focus on like finance, fitness, tech startups, or real estate.
60
If you specialize in one sector, your clients will see you as a specialist and you'll be able to charge more especially if you actually understand the niche.
61
Step two is to set up a dedicated AI workspace for your client.
62
Now, this is where the magic really starts to happen.
63
First of all, you need to sign into Claude and click projects and then new project.
64
I'll give it a name so I can find it later.
65
Something like Elon Musk's newsletter.
66
Then comes the important part.
67
Click here to add files and drop in everything you've gathered on your client.
68
This could be old social media posts, past newsletters, podcast appearances, interviews, and anything else you can find.
69
And then click set project instructions.
70
This is where you tell it exactly what you want.
71
As you can see, I've been as detailed as possible here to make sure
72
that it sounds exactly like the client and not some generic robot.
73
Step three is to use a research tool like perplexity to pull what's happening in their industry each week.
74
So everything you write is interesting and fresh.
75
You can ask it something like, what are the biggest stories in electric vehicles this week?
76
And in seconds, you've got the latest stories with links to check them.
77
Step four, use your research to prompt Claude to write for you.
78
Then go through the research and give it a bit of a human touch.
79
So how lazy is this?
80
For learning curve, I'm gonna say one to two weeks.
81
If you can read and can tell good writing from boring writing, then you can learn this quickly.
82
The AI handles the research and writing process.
83
So what you're really learning is judgment, and you can pick that up by studying what performs.
84
For AI does, I'd say 75%.
85
AI does the research and the writing, but that missing 25% is about taste.
86
You need to get good at choosing the best angles, editing out the typical AI speech, and knowing what your client would actually say.
87
Startup capital is around 20 to $40 a month in AI subscriptions.
88
And the tool stack is three.
89
Perplexity for research, Claude for the writing, and maybe some sort of scheduling tool like Typefully for social media posts or kit for email newsletters.
90
And finally, for competition, I'd say this is high.
91
This is because of how easy AI has made it for ordinary people to become ghostwriters, even without any previous writing skills.
92
But to be fair, most people don't spend enough time learning what performs best
93
and how to properly use the AI tools to their full potential.
94
If you can master that missing 25%, you'll be able to stand out from the competition and charge much higher prices.
95
Method three, AI websites.
96
This involves building websites for businesses using AI with no coding required.
97
The real money is in creating a specific type of website called a landing page.
98
This is a one-page website designed to sell one thing.
99
They're typically used by course creators, coaches, agencies, or software companies.
100
These businesses create content and run ads and then push their audience to the landing page.
101
And the better the pages are converting people into customers, the more money they can make.
102
Step one is to pick an AI page builder and learn it by building a sample page for an imaginary offer, so that you've got proof of what you can actually do.
103
If you're a beginner, something like Wix or Hostinger is about as easy as it gets.
104
And honestly, the best way to learn is just to have a go.
105
So I'll type in something like a landing page for a personal trainer,
106
selling an online coaching program,
107
clean and modern with a bold call to action.
108
And look at that, it's built me a complete landing page.
109
It's written a headline, laid out the sections, added images and given me a great starting point.
110
I can even click here to see it on a mobile.
111
Honestly, I'm actually shocked at how good this actually looks from just one prompt.
112
Once you've learned how to use an AI website builder, it's time for step two.
113
Find businesses who have something to sell and would benefit from a high converting landing page.
114
If you want to learn exactly how to find qualified businesses and get these businesses to pay you for any service,
115
including this one, I'm actually running a free live online training very soon.
116
I'll be breaking down how to start a one person business using AI and it's completely free.
117
So if that sounds interesting to you, click the link in the description to secure your spot.
118
And finally, step three, charge clients per page to start, then offer to keep optimizing it for a monthly fee.
119
But how lazy is it?
120
Let's have a look.
121
For learning curve, I'm gonna say two to four weeks.
122
These AI website builders have become ridiculously good.
123
Most of your learning time is spent understanding what makes a page convert, which comes down to headlines, proof, and one clear call to action.
124
For AI Does, I'm giving this one 80%.
125
You've seen it for yourself.
126
AI handles all the design work.
127
Some tools even have a feature that will test different versions of the page after launch to see which one converts best.
128
So the AI builds the page, writes the copy, and then optimizes it while you sleep.
129
Your remaining 20% is spent finding and communicating with clients.
130
Startup capital is around $30 a month, depending on which website builder you choose.
131
But many offer free trials, so you can practice before spending a penny.
132
And the tool stack is one, a good website builder.
133
And finally, for competition, I'd say it's a medium.
134
Lots of people offer to build websites, but almost nobody builds a page that looks great and actually sells.
135
So if you can focus on generating landing pages and make your clients money, you'll be able to stand out from the crowd and start getting paid.
136
Method four, AI built Shopify store.
137
This is the ultimate shortcut into e-commerce.
138
A Shopify store where AI picks the products, builds the shop, writes the listings, and ships every order without you touching a thing.
139
I actually tested this out before, and I have to say, I was very impressed with how lazy it actually was,
140
and how easy it was to start seeing results.
141
Step one, head over to this free AI tool called Build Your Store.
142
I'll leave a link in the description, so feel free to follow along while I go through this.
143
First, I'm gonna click Start Your Free Store.
144
Now, the tool guides you through each step, beginning with a prompt for basic details like your name and email.
145
You'll then be asked to choose a niche with popular options like fashion, electronics, and pets.
146
I'm, of course, gonna pick fashion as I'm a bit of a fashionista.
147
Onto step two, you'll be prompted to follow a series of steps that guide you through the entire setup.
148
So let me speed run through this now.
149
If you'd like to watch me go through the entire process, I made a whole video on it.
150
So feel free to watch that after this.
151
You should end up with a Shopify store that looks a bit like this.
152
I think that's pretty cool.
153
Now for step three, you're gonna need some products to sell.
154
The easiest way to do this is to connect AutoDS.
155
This is an essential e-commerce tool that uses AI to fill the store with winning products,
156
keeps the prices and images updated and ships your items straight to your customers.
157
You can actually connect this with Claw too, which is super helpful.
158
And your finished store will end up looking a little bit like this.
159
And the great thing is, this is pretty passive.
160
You don't have to keep track of any inventory.
161
You never package a single order, and you can run the whole thing from your laptop anywhere in the world.
162
Now for the scores.
163
The learning curve, practically zero.
164
Build Your Store walks you through every single step.
165
If you can fill in an online form, you can do this.
166
You don't need any technical knowledge or design skills.
167
AI does 95%.
168
As you've seen, the AI handles pretty much everything.
169
Your 5% is just choosing a niche and sending people to your store.
170
For startup capital, well, Build Your Store is completely free.
171
Shopify has a three-day free trial, and AutoDS will only cost 99 cents to get started.
172
So the total here is just 99 cents.
173
For the tool stack, technically there are three different tools.
174
So we're right in here, three.
175
But remember, if you go to build your store with a link in the description, it will walk you through exactly how to set everything up across all the different tools.
176
And finally, for competition, I'd say this is a medium.
177
As you've probably seen, there's a lot of people promoting rubbish products on social media.
178
So the competition is technically medium.
179
However, if you actually take the time to use AI tools to their full potential, you can easily wipe the floor with the competition.
180
As I was planning on covering this method anyway, I reached out to AutoDS to see if they'd sponsor this portion of the video and they agreed.
181
So make sure to check them out because I genuinely believe that they're the best AI e-com tool out there.
182
Method five, AI agents.
183
This is all about setting up AI agents for businesses.
184
This is one of the hottest side hustles right now.
185
AI agents are like little digital employees that handle a specific job for a business automatically.
186
The simplest one to set up is probably an AI receptionist, which answers their calls, books appointments, and chases up leads 24 hours a day.
187
This is so valuable because small businesses typically miss over 50% of incoming calls every day.
188
Just think how many sales are slipping through their fingers.
189
So why don't they just set up one of these AI agents themselves?
190
Well, most small business owners are incredibly behind with AI.
191
They don't even know these tools exist, nevermind actually using them properly.
192
If you're prepared to learn the process, you become extremely valuable.
193
Let me walk you through it.
194
Step one, pick one type of local business like a dentist, salons, or plumbers.
195
Step two, use an AI tool to set up a demo AI receptionist with its own phone number
196
that people can actually ring.
197
I found this one called Dial Zara.
198
So let's give it a go together.
199
I'm gonna quickly create an account, then it asks you to describe what the business does so that the AI receptionist can respond appropriately.
200
I'm gonna write, I sell personal fitness plans online,
201
coaching to entrepreneurs and business owners.
202
then click build my receptionist.
203
But for now, let's close that and do a test call to see if it works.
204
Thanks for calling Tilbury Fitness.
205
You've reached the receptionist.
206
How can I help you today?
207
Well, I'd like to know a little bit more about your program.
208
So I've got quite a regime for fitness.
209
Got it.
210
What's your main fitness goal right now?
211
Really to get that six pack up to an eight.
212
I hear you want to trim down your midsection.
213
Since this line doesn't provide specific tips, I can take your details and a summary.
214
Then a coach can reach out with tailored advice.
215
What's the best phone number and email to contact you?
216
Okay, well, you've got my email and phone number, so if you can contact me back on that, that would be absolutely superb.
217
Just use the number I've contacted you now.
218
Got it.
219
And could you please share your name so I can pass that along with your contact number?
220
It's Mark, the body, Tilbury.
221
Thanks, Mark.
222
so you want help trimming your midsection to get
223
that six pack look is there a best time for a
224
coach to call you back no you can call me anytime
225
thank you even though he left me hanging at the end
226
that was actually pretty impressive I'm definitely going to look into adding one of these to my businesses
227
that is for sure step three is to walk into local businesses
228
or contact them online and Let the owner hear the AI answer live.
229
Once they hear what it's capable of, just like you have, it basically sells itself.
230
Step four, charge a monthly fee to keep it running.
231
Upsell other AI agents like chatbots and then repeat the process with more businesses.
232
So how lazy is this AI agent method?
233
For learning curve, I'm gonna say one to two months.
234
Not because the tools are hard, but because landing those first couple of clients takes persistence.
235
Once you've got your demo and your first case study, it gets dramatically easier.
236
For AI Does, I'd say 85%.
237
The agent answers every call, books the appointments, and captures every lead every day without ever having a sick day.
238
And the remaining 15% is the setup and the relationship with the business owner startup capital is about $50 per month,
239
depending on which tool you use and how much uses you need.
240
And the tool stack is just one to begin with, because you can add more tools when you're ready to offer a wider variety of agents.
241
And finally, for competition, I'd say this is low.
242
For the first time, this isn't gonna feel crowded.
243
This is because most people either don't know about AI agents yet, or aren't prepared to spend one to two months learning the skills required.
244
This leaves a massive opportunity for those who dedicate themselves to doing this before everyone else starts to catch on.
245
But keep watching because the opportunities continue to grow with the next two methods.
246
Method six, AI avatars.
247
This is all about creating a virtual AI person that looks completely real, but doesn't actually exist.
248
In fact, I bet you've watched AI avatars online already without even realizing they weren't real people.
249
Take this for example, it's an avatar that someone is using to sell their physical products, like the ones you can sell on Shopify,
250
but this person is not real.
251
It's completely made with AI.
252
And if I scroll through the comments, you can see that no one's actually realized.
253
That just shows you how powerful AI avatars are already becoming.
254
You can use them to sell your own products like this
255
or create AI influencers in a specific niche and get paid in sponsorship deals and affiliate income when you promote other brands.
256
And the reason this is so exciting is that it removes every annoying part of being an influencer.
257
Your avatar never has to film itself, never has a bad hair day and never ages.
258
That'd be nice.
259
To start creating an avatar, I'm gonna head over to Higgs field and open up the AI Influencer Studio here.
260
Now I get to design my person.
261
And the great thing is there's no complicated prompting.
262
It's all just sliders and dropdowns.
263
It's sort of like designing a character in a video game.
264
Now starting with character type, I'm gonna select human because obviously we want our avatar to look realistic like the examples I showed you a second ago.
265
Then we can select the gender, ethnicity, skin color eye color even skin conditions there are really
266
so many ways to personalize this avatar
267
so i'll just select a few of these okay
268
so i've finished my selection so i can press generate influencer
269
and the ai will generate our very own avatar look at
270
that honestly that's brilliant i could sit here for ages tweaking it
271
but i'll go for this now as uh he actually looks
272
scarily like a real person now there are a few more steps involved
273
if i want to bring this character to life
274
and start creating viral content that generates money so
275
if you want me to do a full video on this
276
and test this side hustle
277
and document the whole process comment what type of business you'd like me to try to promote with this avatar
278
so how does it score for learning curve i'm gonna say
279
two to three months building the initial avatar only takes a few minutes as you've you've seen, but creating a consistent looking face,
280
turning your avatar images into engaging videos, giving them a personality, making them speak, and building an audience online will take a lot longer.
281
For AI Does, I'm giving this one 70%.
282
The AI generates the person, the photos, and the videos,
283
but perfecting the content strategy is an important step that will require more knowledge, organization, and effort.
284
What about startup capital?
285
At the time I'm making this video, it's around $19 a month, but it varies depending on how many videos you want to create.
286
And the tool stack is just one.
287
Although if you wanted to use a script writing tool like Claude or a content scheduler, then you could invest in those tools too.
288
Finally, for competition, I'd say this is low.
289
This is a very new industry.
290
And as you saw in the comments of that example video, most people aren't even aware that these AI avatars even exist.
291
This means low competition and huge opportunities for those that master all of the steps.
292
Method seven, AI app building.
293
This is all about building real apps and software without writing a single line of code and then selling them.
294
Custom software used to cost businesses tens of thousands to produce, but now you simply describe the app you want to create
295
and the AI writes the code while you watch it appear on screen.
296
There are two ways to get paid here.
297
You can build apps for businesses and charge per project, or you can launch your own app and charge a small monthly subscription.
298
The first one is the easier place to start because you don't have to handle any marketing or sales.
299
You get paid once to make it, and then again, every single month to look after it.
300
To get started, pick an AI app builder like Lovable or Emergent,
301
and learn it by recreating something simple that already exists like a calculator, a booking form or a quote generator.
302
Let's see if we can create something simple together to test the concept.
303
So I'm gonna go over to Emergent and type in my initial prompt.
304
Create an app that helps people track their investments in one place, a portfolio tracker.
305
It's then gonna ask me a few questions.
306
And once I've answered those, I'll check back in a few minutes.
307
Okay, so it looks like our app is about ready.
308
So let's take a look.
309
Now that is genuinely quite impressive to see.
310
And it only took a few minutes.
311
Now, obviously there's clearly lots of room for improvement.
312
It's definitely not ready to put out into the public and no one's gonna pay for this.
313
So I'd have to spend some more time prompting and testing to get things right.
314
For learning curve, I'm gonna say two to three months.
315
Things will break and you'll fix them by telling the AI what's wrong.
316
That back and forth is the learning curve.
317
It's not hard like learning code.
318
It's hard like learning to drive.
319
A bit awkward for the first month, but eventually you get used to it.
320
For AI does, I'd say 80%.
321
The AI writes every line of code, designs the screen, and fixes the bugs you point out.
322
Your 20% is deciding what to build, testing it like a customer would, and selling it.
323
Startup capital is around $25 to $50 a month for the AI tool, depending on which one you use.
324
And the tool stack is just one, an AI app builder.
325
And finally, the competition is very low,
326
because most people assume it's too complicated and won't bother spending the time it takes to learn the ropes.
327
If you wanna know what to upgrade when you start making money, then I'm gonna leave that video right up there, but don't click on it just yet.
328
Make sure to subscribe if you wanna grow your wealth, okay?
329
I'll see you over there.

Perché questo video è ottimo per esercitare l'inglese parlato
Questo video è un materiale eccellente per migliorare la pronuncia inglese e la fluidità, grazie al linguaggio colloquiale e alle spiegazioni chiare. Il narratore usa frasi semplici ma ricche di espressioni comuni, come "who doesn't wanna make good money" o "the truth hurts", che sono perfette per imparare l'inglese con i video in modo pratico. La velocità del discorso è moderata, ideale per il shadowing, una tecnica che consiste nel ripetere immediatamente dopo il parlante per imitare intonazione e ritmo.
Analisi di frasi naturali
- "What's the laziest way for beginners to make money online using AI?": La struttura "What's the... way for... to..." è molto comune per porre domande su metodi. La parola "laziest" aggiunge un tono informale, tipico del discorso quotidiano. Ripetere questa frase aiuta a esercitare la pronuncia di "laziest" (con la "z" sonora) e la connessione tra "for beginners".
- "AI can now do 90% of the work for you": La clausola "do... of the work for you" è utile per esprimere che qualcosa fa il lavoro al posto di qualcuno. La pronuncia di "90%" ("ninety percent") richiede attenzione alla "t" silenziosa in "ninety" e alla connessione con "percent".
- "Consistency alone puts you ahead of 99% of clippers": "Consistency alone" è un'espressione efficace per sottolineare l'importanza della costanza. La parola "puts you ahead" è un phrasal verb che significa "ti mette in vantaggio". Ripetere questa frase aiuta a capire come usare i phrasal verbs in contesti pratici.
Una routine di pratica con il shadowing
Per esercitarti con questo video, usa la tecnica del shadowspeak (o shadowing in inglese) in 4 passaggi: 1. Guarda un frammento di 10-15 secondi e ascolta attentamente l'intonazione e il ritmo. 2. Ripeti immediatamente dopo il parlante, cercando di imitare ogni dettaglio. 3. Registrati mentre ripeti e confronta la tua registrazione con il video: nota le differenze di pronuncia o di velocità. 4. Ripeti il frammento finché non senti che la tua versione è fluida e naturale. Ripeti questo loop per 10-15 minuti al giorno: in poche settimane noterai un miglioramento nella tua pronuncia e nella capacità di capire il discorso colloquiale.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | I've made · I've ordered · you've gathered |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | is spent · be asked · be prompted |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | stack, which is · least, which means · too, which is |
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
