I’ve been using AI tools to help grow mybusiness for the past few months and honestly, it’s been a game-changer.
For example, with the help of AI, I have been able to increase my income without working more hours.
My business model didn’t change. The only thing that changed was how I used Al to work more productively and efficiently.
So I thought I would share some of the ways that you too can use AI to make money in 2023.
- YouTube
You can create faceless YouTube channels using AI
You can focus on various niches and earn a substantial monthly income from both YouTube Adsense and affiliate products.
However, coming up with video topics, titles, and scripts takes a lot of time, especially when you’re a solopreneur who is always juggling a dozen projects.
But using the Jasper Al writing assistant can help you speed up the process.
Jasper is able to come up with video topic ideas, SEO-optimized titles, script outlines, hooks, and an introduction.
Once you have your outline, you can use Jasper’s
“Compose” feature to fill in the blanks for each section of my script.
Here’s a basic example of what this looks like on my end:
From there, I record a voiceover for the video using the script and pair it with a “faceless” tutorial-style video.
Jasper can also write SEO-optimized YouTube descriptions.
2. Digital Products
Digital products have always been fairly easy to create and sell, but with the help of AI tools like Jasper, the process of creating content is even easier and faster.
Here’s an example –
Let’s say that I have an idea for a digital
“workbook” to help self-employed people manage their money better.
First, this is a topic I know a little something about because I’ve been self-employed for a very long time. Notice I’m NOT relying on Jasper, or, god forbid, ChaptGPT, to give me accurate information.
Hot Take: Don’t make digital products with Al on topics you don’t know anything about.
However, in order to speed up the idea generation/outlining process, I would use Jasper’s “chat” feature to come up with an outline for my workbook.
I used the prompt: Write an outline for a workbook titled “Money Management for Freelancers.”
Here’s what I got:
I generally don’t use the outputs Jasper gives me as-is, but it’s usually a great starting point.
Best of all, this took 30 seconds, whereas it may have taken me 10–30 minutes to come up with a similar outline on my own.
From there, I can ask Jasper to suggest content for each section, which I can revise and edit to my liking.
I also add in my own thoughts, examples, section titles, paragraphs, etc.
Remember, this is a tool to ASSIST, not REPLACE you.
Then I take the content and format it as a PDF workbook using Canva.
From there, I upload it to ConvertKit – which is one of my favorite platforms for selling digital products – and then run low-cost Pinterest ads ($.10 to $.15 CPC) to make sales.
Here’s an example of what a ConvertKit landing page looks like:
I’ve also sold digital products using Teachable, Etsy, Gumroad, and my own website (s).
If you have a YouTube channel *wink, wink*, you can also promote your digital products there to compound the results of your efforts.
3. Online Courses
I honestly think online courses are
STILL one of the most effective ways to make a serious income online in 2023.
The amazing thing about selling courses as a personal brand (as opposed to a publisher brand) is that your courses can sell really well because people could connect with you personally.
The not-so-amazing part is that you can get REALLY burned out doing it.
Here’s what You can do instead, create niche brands around specific topics, then create online courses to sell in connection with the brand.
The process of using Jasper to help create an online course is very similar to the process used to create any other digital product.
Ask Jasper to come up with title ideas and a sample outline for the course.
Here’s an example:
Then follow a similar process to creating a digital product or YouTube video script – just fill in the sections on my own or with Jasper’s help.
Once I’m happy with the script, I might hire a freelancer on Fiverr to record the lessons or do a voice-over with a tutorial or presentation-style video.
I prefer to sell my online courses using either Teachable or Thinkific.
However, if you don’t want to invest in a course platform that you control, you can always upload your content to Udemy or Skillshare.
4. Affiliate Content
If you’ve ever typed “how to make money online” into a search engine, I bet one of the first things you saw was “affiliate marketing.”
Affiliate marketing is great because you get paid for promoting someone else’s product.
The problem with affiliate marketing is that it’s really hard to make money with it if you don’t know how to create affiliate content that leads to a sale.
That’s where AI platforms like ChatGPT and jasper comes in to help you create content tailored specifically to your audience that will lead to a sale.
