Let me keep it real: I’m not a tech genius, not a coder, and definitely not one of those fake internet millionaires. But I did manage to build three small AI income streams that now bring in $870/month.
It’s not life-changing money yet, but here’s the kicker:
They’re almost hands-off now.
And if you’re reading this wondering if you could do it too?
You absolutely can.
Let’s break it down.
π§ Stream #1: AI-Powered Digital Product (Ebooks & Mini Courses)
I used ChatGPT + Canva + Notion AI to create:
-
2 niche ebooks (one on gut health, one on productivity for ADHD brains)
-
1 mini-course hosted on Gumroad
Why it worked:
-
AI helped me write 90% of it in 3 days
-
I used TikTok + Pinterest to drive free traffic
-
I priced it low: $7–$19 (low-ticket = low friction)
Results:
π Average monthly revenue: $370/month
π Work needed now: Almost none
π ️ Stream #2: AI-Fueled Freelance Content Service
This one’s more active, but powerful:
I offer AI-assisted content packages for small biz owners.
-
Blog posts + social captions
-
All generated using ChatGPT, then lightly edited
I position myself as a “content partner” who’s fast, affordable, and understands short-form formats.
Why it works:
-
AI makes me 3x faster than typical freelancers
-
I keep my pricing competitive ($120–$200/month per client)
-
My clients don’t care how it’s made, just that it works
Results:
π Average monthly revenue: $280/month (from 2 clients)
π Time per week: ~2 hours/client
π Stream #3: AI Template Store on Etsy
I launched a tiny Etsy shop selling:
-
ChatGPT prompts for business owners
-
Notion AI workspace templates
Tools I used:
-
ChatGPT for ideas
-
Canva for mockups
-
Marmalead (for Etsy SEO research)
Why it clicked:
-
Passive once uploaded
-
Targeted busy solopreneurs
-
SEO + evergreen demand
Results:
π Average monthly revenue: $220/month
π Time to build: 5 days
π Time to maintain: <1 hour/month
So What’s the Catch?
There isn't one. But here’s what I didn’t do:
-
I didn’t build a massive brand
-
I didn’t go viral
-
I didn’t buy any course
What I did do:
I got scrappy. Used AI like a business partner. Moved fast.
The Takeaway: AI Won’t Make You Rich Overnight — But It Can Make You Dangerously Efficient
If you’re sleeping on this wave, you’re wasting time.
$870/month might not sound like much…
But it pays for:
-
My rent (shared apartment)
-
My groceries
-
My freedom to say no to boring jobs
And every month, it's growing. Slowly. Silently.
So here’s the question:
What’s stopping you from building your first AI stream this week?
Don’t overthink. Pick one tool. Pick one product. Ship it.
