I tested many AI opportunities to make more revenue during the last two years. Without sharing how much I generated total just wanted to share my personal results (IRS watching haha).

I have a mentor now who owns one of the top 20 business podcasts but when I started it was all trial and error.

Substack from 0-30,000 subs from AI generated content. Grok does the research and Grok/Claude makes the content. GPT Image 2 makes the images used to be Nana banana 2.

I've got digital product sales, affiliate, sponsors, and clients from the newsletter.

Facebook page from 0-120,000 followers. Posted AI videos on Instagram that auto posts on Facebook. Got accepted to content monetization program after 10,000 followers and 10 million views. One video did 35 million views. Page currently earns $1500+ a month.

AI dog Instagram page from 0-16,000 followers. Chewy partner program. Tiktok shop affiliate. Brand deals too.

AI female Instagram page from 0-26,000 followers. 10+ DMs a day. Fanvue subs + upsells (Made $300 within the first two weeks). Social media promo. TikTok shop affiliate. Amazon affiliate.

My own main Instagram page from 6,000 followers being on cam to over 90,000 followers from AI video content. 10+ DMs a day. New clients for video content. Last project was an ecommerce product video for a new Amazon listing. Other clients in credit repair, education, and more. Upsell AI agents to handle social media DMs.

Linkedin grew from 100 followers to over 3,000 followers and 500+ connections from just automating outreach to my target audience. 1 follower on Linkedin is worth like 100 followers on Instagram but they hang out on Instagram so they seen my videos.

Reddit grew subreddit from 0-15,000 members. Teaching drop servicing. 50/50 human content posts and AI content posts with editing. Made thousands from digital products that are now free in my AI society community. Focused on affiliate, consulting, and DFY clients now.

Failures:

Youtube channel from 0-28,000 subs using shorts and AI but got demonetized. I use it as a portfolio to show potential clients. Recommend doing long form and AI is okay if you do it the right way. My new Youtube educational channel is doing well. Educational is better than entertainment on Youtube. Many human creators was demonetized.

Tiktok from 0-28,000 followers but didnt get accepted to content monetization program. I learned Tiktok shop affiliate is better anyway.

Podcast using notebooklm and two ai hosts. Only 900 downloads total. I honestly was not consistent with turning newsletter into podcast but I rather my own ai voice with another host. May start it up again once it sounds human like.

These are just side projects most of my income comes from my AI agency that focuses on implementing AI solutions into small businesses to automate tasks.

I met people making way more than me from vibe coding apps to AI influencers to AI agencies.

My advice is to learn every day as AI is moving fast, try your best effort by being consistent as most quit too early, and use AI to increase your income.

She went from 1,000-25,000 followers within 2 months into the Reels campaign.

The opportunities started at 10,000 followers. Promo, brand deals, and affiliate.

Once over 20,000 I started her FanVue which she earned $300+ within 2 weeks.

I recently set up her TikTok Shop affiliate and Amazon affiliate. I can update on that in a month or so. Her first product video on TikTok already got 1 sale.

I first started with my AI dog who has over 16,000 followers and is a Chewy partner.

But AI girls have way more opportunities when it comes to earning.

I saw and met others who earn 10,000 to 50,000 a month from AI characters. Hoping to get to that one day and sell her like a pimp haha

Anyone else having success with AI creators?

This month I had lunch with a Talent Agency Owner, Actor, and Filmmaker. I met him at a networking event in Tampa Florida. I offered to pay first for the meal but he paid.

The best way to sell offers is in person. The second best is over a video call. The third best is over a phone call.

He wanted to know where he can implement AI in his business. The goal is to become the go to person for your expertise whether its AI solutions or anything else.

I always take the consulting approach instead of a pushy sales person which been working for me for years.

I told him you dont want to use AI for this you should hire a VA person. He was planning to hire someone from Linkedin that costs way more than a VA.

It was for submitting actors for certain jobs which needs a human decision and not AI as he knows who is the best for the roles but can train someone else on each person he has on the roster.

I told him this is where you can use AI since you are busy and want promotion for your films.

CRM (Gohighlevel) with AI agents that handle your Social DMs, SMS, and Phone calls. AI content for your film posters, etc. Use AI tools such as OpusClip or SubMagic to clip scenes in your movie for vertical form content (was manually doing this).

He also voiced one of the characters from One Piece animation show (I watched the live action due to my wife watching it but never seen the animation). He said he got the rights to use the likeness so I told him AI video models like Seedance 2.0 is great for animation.

What did I get in return from providing value?

Not only a new client and potential partner in future projects but also advice on how I can use my own AI content creators (My Clone/Dog/Female) for promoting products.

He showed me he made an extra $100K last year from promoting products in videos and all these jobs from $100-$500 per video (two apps) just sitting there cause he does not have time to be on cam.

Go to networking events I alway meet at least 1 unique person meaning they own an agency (insurance/real estate/etc), restaurant, funeral, and more.

Other than that I meet clients on Linkedin and Instagram.
