Welcome back to the podcast. Today, we are talking about small AI side hustles that you can do, you know, what's the lowest hanging fruit, opportunities out there right now. How can you actually get started today, you know, making money with AI? And we're gonna start off with a quick video that will just kind of get you thinking along these lines. But before we do, I wanted to quickly tell you about our school community. If you have not heard of it yet, you should check out AI Hustle. Each week, we release bonus content over there and provide exact tools and strategies that we use to make money online. We have a variety of different hustles, including music streaming, AI consulting, all kinds of stuff. And this week, we did a special episode on finding your unique advantage, which we have even a tool and prompt that will help you find that. So we'd love to have you be a member. It's $19 a month, and there's over 1,300 members. So you should definitely check it out. But, Jayden, why don't you tell us more about some of these small side hustles that people get started on today making money?

Okay, this episode was inspired by Dan Martell. He had a video. It's 60 seconds. I'll play it just to give you one idea. But then we're gonna go through a bunch of different ideas. And Jamie has some examples of what he would recommend based off of what his current businesses are looking like and how he's using AI. So we're gonna dive into those. But I'll play this one first from Dan Martell. Okay, it's not a very complex idea. It's very simple. But, okay, first of all, a bunch of things I liked about that. If anyone's doing our, if anyone's on our school community and they're doing the content creation or you're doing marketing for your business, Dan Martell is a master class in just the editing for his content and how he pushes people to different products he works on. So I would go study him. He does a great job on just the content there. However, this concept that he mentioned, I think there's a couple different things I would dissect and break down. The first one being, if you're trying to make money with AI, look at what you, or if you're working at a, you know, look at what you pay for in your business, or if you're working in a company, look at what that company is paying, what are the most expensive things that they're paying for, and what are ways that you could save the company money using AI. So I give an example recently on our school community where my first job, I remember they were paying $60,000 a year for HubSpot. And today, if I was to be working that same job, my first questions would be, what tools could we use to dramatically cut down that price and possibly replace them? Or are we only using 5% of the features of this particular expensive software? How could we use AI to replace or automate what's going on there? Actually, I have a friend that recently said they were paying a similar amount of money to HubSpot for their CRM, and it was for their internal business, working with all of managing all of their customer relations and their cold outreach and all that kind of stuff. And they ended up just building their own internal tool instead.

He has a development team, and he said the development team in like a week or two just built a replacement for it with Claude because now code can get generated so fast. And you can instantly save yourself $50,000 a year. Now, if I was to make money, I think two ways to make money off of that concept is, as a consultant, go to businesses.

If you figure out that solution, whether you implement it internally, or you have a friend that you help do that, or you just know because of your business, figure out the solution and then go consult businesses that are gonna be paying for those same tools. And if it's a case with something like HubSpot, I would literally go to, I know this sounds shady, like I'm sure people think this is terrible, but I would go to people, follow HubSpot, and I would literally, like on LinkedIn or Instagram, or like one of those other tools, I would literally go look at companies that are following them, and that is your client list that you could outreach to, to get someone to switch off of that service for something that you use. So there's some sneaky ways to do it, but like at the end of the day, you know that they're probably using it if they're following them on social media, and you could replace them. You find them the replacement that would save them a ton of money.
