3 Stupidly Simple Side Hustles to Make Money with AI
Let me ask you something, what if you could go back in time and start a YouTube channel in 2010? Or get into the world of crypto in 2013? Or launch an online business in 2015? Would you do it?
If you’ve done that, you’d be a multi-millionaire or even a billionaire at this point.
Even if you missed those opportunities, no worries. Right now, AI is that next big opportunity. It’s the biggest gold rush of the century and the best part? Even you can get into it and make millions for yourself!
In this post, I’ll show you how you can get the piece of AI economy for yourself. You can still make it happen even if you don’t know how to code, don’t have a big following, or a big sum of money to start.
I’ll share 3 AI side hustle ideas that you can turn into a multi-million dollar business in a long run.
1. Make Money Setting Up AI Chatbots
Yep, businesses are literally paying people $500 to $5,000 every single month just to set up and manage simple AI chatbots for them.
Why? Because these bots can act as customer service representative saving time, money and helping to close more sales for the business. Things like:
- “What are your business hours?”
- “Do you accept walk-ins?”
- “How much does this cost?”
These are questions that businesses get every day and AI chatbots can handle them instantly. It’s like having a virtual employee that never takes a break.
But Here’s the Cool Part:
You don’t need to know how to code or be a tech wizard to offer this service. All you need is a free tool like BotPress.com. It’s a no-code chatbot builder that makes the whole thing super simple.
Here’s How it Works:
Step 1: Go to BotPress.com or FlowiseAI and sign up for a free account.
Step 2: Pick a chatbot template (like FAQ, customer support, etc.).
Step 3: Train it using the info from business’s website or by entering common questions manually.
Step 4: Connect the bot to the business’s website, Facebook Messenger, or WhatsApp.
And that’s it!
How to Get Clients?
Instead of cold emailing random companies, focus on local businesses that have a good flow of customers on a daily basis. Like:
- Salons
- Dentists
- Mechanics
- Gyms
- Local online stores
- Restaurants, etc.
Show them a live demo of the bot answering real questions. After that, most business owners will be like, “Whoa! How much does this cost?”
How Much Can You Charge?
- Small business: $500 to $1,000 per chatbot
- Bigger business: $2,000 to $5,000 (especially if they need more integrations)
- Subscription model: $99/month or more for ongoing support
And here’s the crazy part! Once you build one chatbot, you can sell it to 50+ similar businesses. For example, if you make a chatbot for a nail salon, you can tweak and reuse that same bot for other salons with almost zero extra work.
2. Sell AI Prompt Packs
Most people still don’t know how to use ChatGPT or other AI chatbots properly. They type in a few random questions and get okay-ish results. What if you can help them get better results with pre-written AI prompts?
These are called Prompt Packs or Prompt Booksand yes, you can sell them.
People are selling these packs and making a solid income without having any audience, tech skills, or what so ever.
Think of it like this:
- Business owners want better ads and emails.
- Job seekers want better resumes and cover letters.
- Writers want better story ideas.
- Students want better study notes.
And to do this, they need better prompts. That’s what you’ll be selling!
Here’s How to Start:
Step 1: Pick a niche
Choose a niche where people already use AI but struggle to get better results. For example:
- Business & marketing (creating ads, emails, captions)
- Job seekers (resumes, interviews)
- Writers & bloggers (idea generation, storytelling)
- Self-help & journaling (reflection, goals)
- Education (study guides, coding help)
Step 2: Create the Prompts
Then, use ChatGPT to create high-quality prompts. For example:
Step 3: Bundle your Prompts
Now, put all the prompts into a clean-looking PDF using Canva or Google Docs. Make it easy to read and visually appealing.
Step 4: Sell it Online
At last, you need to sell your prompts to make money. You can sell them on platforms like:
- Etsy
- Gumroad
- Payhip
- Your own blog or website
You can price them anywhere from $9 to $49 depending on the value and number of prompts.
3. AI for Personal Development
Think about it! People are already using AI for productivity, self-reflection, journaling, and for mental health help. But they don’t know how to get the best out of AI.
So, you can create and sell:
- Daily journaling prompts,
- Goal-setting systems powered by ChatGPT,
- Reflection prompts for therapy or coaching,
- AI-assisted decision-making tools, and so much more.
Bundle those up into a digital product, prompt guide, or even a Notion template and sell it to people who want to grow personally and professionally. It may not sound like a profitable idea for now, but the future potential it carries is unmatched.
Final Thoughts: Don’t Wait Too Long
Just like YouTube, crypto, and online businesses, AI is that next big thing. And right now, we’re in the early stages of it. Most people don’t understand how to use it and that’s the edge you have.
But in 1-2 years? Everyone will be doing it.
So instead of asking “what if I started earlier?” a few years from now, take action today. Whether it’s selling chatbots, prompt packs, or digital tools, there’s a huge opportunity in every field.
Start small, learn fast and scale.
You don’t need to be an expert. You just need to be early!
