Side Hustles with AI / Claude to earn a few $100/mo?

Mar 25 (edited) • 💬 General AI Discussion

Sorry if this is off-topic and below the scope of this community, but I can't help but feel that Claude or AI could be used to generate some side income without too much stress.

I'm working on integrating AI / Claude into my freelance business, but it will take time to land clients (which I'm working on).

In the meantime, are there any side gigs that AI could be used to generate a few $100 a month without clients or without building an audience, like maybe:

1) Affiliate marketing using SEO to drive traffic (using AI to do keyword research and content generation)

2) Print on demand with Amazon Merch (using AI to do research, t-shirt design, and automating the listing creation to some degree)

3) Digital products with Etsy (again, research and creation),

4) Creating directory sites using programmatic SEO monetized with display ads (research, creation, and automation)

5) Gigs on Fiverr - I saw Ryan's recent video where he did keyword research using Ahrefs and Claude - could something like that be sold as a little service on Fiverr?

Any others?

There must be some arbitrage available for something AI can do that not everyone knows about or wants to do themselves, but is willing to pay someone to do?

I've done 1 and 2 in the past by hand, with small results. 1 was back in the day when it was easy to rank in Google. And 2 was a few years ago, but it was too time-consuming to create enough designs as it seems to be a numbers game.

Anyone got any leads on reliable sources of information on this? Obviously, there are lots of people selling "earn seven figures with AI" courses, but I'm a bit skeptical!
