This image was generated with SkySnail. I use it to create post covers and thumbnails so my content actually gets clicked instead of ignored.
If you plan to post online, visuals matter more than most people think👇️
Now, let's get into the 10 AI side hustles:
1/ Faceless YouTube Channels
Run YouTube channels without showing your face. AI handles scripts, voiceovers, editing.
The strategy: Focus on search-based content (tutorials or guides). Not just entertainment. Search traffic is consistent.
Monetize: AdSense, sponsorships, affiliate marketing.
2/ Prompt Engineering as a Service
Companies need experts who know how to talk to AI.
The strategy: Create "workflow prompts" that save businesses 10+ hours weekly. Example: Prompt that drafts on documentations for lawyers or financial advisors.
Use: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.
Key: Time saved = value delivered.
3/ Affiliate Marketing
This is an underrated skill. But the fact is that the more clicks you deliver, the more sign ups there are, and the more sales you make.
The strategy: It’s all about getting the right people to click on your links. People spend billions of dollars yearly on software. You can recommend tools like ViralSky, SkySnail and earn up to 40% on all sales.
Use: Social media, paid ads, blogs, DM marketing
Key: volume beats quality
4/ No-Code App Development
Build apps using voice and text prompts. No coding needed.
The strategy: Build "micro-SaaS" for ONE specific problem. Example: Booking system for dog groomers.
Use: Antigravity, Emergent, OpenClaw
Key: Narrow focus beats broad ambition.
Newsletters are the most valuable digital assets. Founders want them but lack time.
The strategy: Focus on high-value niches (Fintech, AI, Health). Use AI to research and draft.
Model: Monthly retainers for multiple issues per month.
Key: Choose niches where subscribers are worth money.
6/ AI Image & Stock Asset Generation
Generate photorealistic images in seconds. Sell niche stock photography.
The strategy: Focus on "hard-to-photograph" concepts. Abstract tech concepts, medical procedures, futuristic scenarios.
Sell: Adobe Stock, Etsy, Creative Market.
Key: Solve the "impossible to photograph" problem.
7/ AI Personalized Gift Shops
Create custom portraits and personalized products. Connect AI to print-on-demand.
The strategy: Custom pet portraits, personalized storybooks, unique designs. AI creates in seconds. People cherish for years.
Key: Emotional value > production time.
8/ AI SEO Specialist
SEO in 2026 is about Search Generative Experience (SGE). Businesses need help adapting.
The strategy: Use AI to audit for SGE optimization. Help businesses rank in AI summaries, not just blue links.
Where: High-demand on Upwork and Fiverr.
Key: Learn the new rules before everyone else.
Managing 5+ accounts is impossible manually. AI makes it manageable.
The strategy: "Complete Viral Growth" package for local businesses. Auto-generate content, schedule posts, reply with brand voice.
Why it works: They know they need it but don't have time.
10/ Custom AI Chatbot Setup
Every local business needs a 24/7 AI receptionist.
The strategy: Build chatbots that answer FAQs and book appointments.
Model: Setup fee + monthly maintenance fee.
Key: Recurring revenue beats one-time projects.
How to Start
Step 1: Pick 1-3 hustles. Don't try all 10 at once.
Step 2: Find your tech stack (top tools for your work). Spend a week learning everything about it.
Step 3: Create 3-5 portfolio samples. Show what you can do.
Step 4: List your service on Upwork or Fiverr. Mention "AI solutions" to stand out.
Step 5: Start. Then improve as you go.
You now know enough.
The only difference from here is action.
Start today, not someday.
P.S. Most AI side hustles rely on posting content to attract clients.
The tricky part is knowing what to write and how to make it perform.
I use the tool I made myself called ViralSky.
It generates viral posts and threads in 10 seconds, so I’m never starting from scratch.
All the best,
René
