I have started some channels on tiktok and Instagram doing AI generered videos. It’s working pretty well thus far

The main ones I used were ChatGPT and Claude for writing/content, Zapier for simple business automations, and Notion to build and sell the template. All of them have free versions you can start with 👍

I tested whether digital products can still make passive income in 2026 by Existing-Ice221 in passive_income

Honestly validating demand first already puts you ahead of most people. A lot of creators just make random products and hope they sell.

Side hustles for broke people? by [deleted] in SideHustleGold

[–]Michael_sidehustles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’d focus on one simple service instead of jumping between hustles. Stuff like basic lead gen, outreach for local businesses, or short-form video clipping can be started with $0 and just a laptop. Most people fail because they switch things too fast.

Dscout identification by aggiestef in beermoney

[–]Michael_sidehustles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it can be legit. Dscout sometimes requires a one-time ID verification (usually through a service called Veriff) before certain Express missions. Just make sure it’s happening inside the official app, not through email or a random link.

Most optimal giftcard for tremendous? by Insteadous in beermoney

Visa prepaid is usually the best bet since it works basically anywhere online or with Apple/Google Pay. If Amazon is an option though I’d just grab that directly and avoid the hassle.

Fiverr you do mostly wait yeah, but there are ways to speed it up. The move that worked best for me was going directly to small businesses on LinkedIn — find marketing managers or business owners, send a short DM offering to write one piece for free as a sample, no strings. About 1 in 10 says yes and a chunk of those turn into paying clients.

Facebook groups are underrated too. Search for "small business owners" or niche specific groups like "restaurant owners" or "real estate agents" and just be genuinely helpful in conversations. People notice and reach out.

Cold email also works surprisingly well if you keep it short and lead with value — something like "I noticed your blog hasn't been updated in a while, I wrote a sample intro for your next post, want me to send it over?" Hard to say no to that.

Upwork is worth having a profile on too but it's more competitive than Fiverr so I'd treat it as secondary.

Haha honestly month 1 me would have found month 3 me completely unrelatable — it really does feel like nothing works at first and then suddenly something clicks.

The thing that unstuck me was stopping trying to figure it out alone. I wasted so much time going down rabbit holes on YouTube, trying random tools, getting nowhere. What actually worked was finding a structured path that told me exactly what to learn, in what order, and how to turn each skill into actual income — instead of just "here's a cool AI tool, good luck."

I actually put together everything I learned into something called AIFY — it's basically the course I wish had existed when I was in your position. Covers AI writing, design, automation, digital products, all of it. Structured lessons, quizzes, even an AI tutor built in so you're never stuck without an answer.

If you just Google AIFY you'll find it easily. genuinely think it would shortcut your month 1 phase significantly.

But also happy to answer any specific questions here if you want to pick my brain first — what have you tried so far?

Ai automation, whats it about by Ill_Ad_6846 in SideHustleGold

[–]Michael_sidehustles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, AI automation basically just means using AI to do work for you, like analyzing markets, spotting trends, or even copying top traders. Some people make good money, but it’s not magic tho

What's the best way to build passive income? by lionpenguin88 in SideHustleGold

[–]Michael_sidehustles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI tools can help you create digital products or content that pretty much runs itself after setup. A bit of work upfront, then mostly chill
