How to start earn your first 1000$ through AI as a student before 2024 ends.

No, I won't tell you to start freelancing or learning to code.

My goal for this year? To start earning and covering my expenses on my own.

It’s November already, and I’m sure some of you feel the same way. Time’s ticking, but there’s still a huge opportunity with AI that most people are missing out on.

Every single day, people are making millions using AI, while some of us are stuck in classes or part-time jobs that don’t even cover the basics.

And then there are others studying Data Science, thinking they’ll need to become AI engineers before they can start earning with AI.

This post is here to change that.

I’ll break down seven highly profitable business ideas that you can start using AI, right from home.

These ideas are low-cost and high-impact side hustles that can genuinely make you anywhere from $1,000 to even $10,000 and beyond if done right.

1. Create AI Avatars for Personal Brands 

Right now, there’s a wave of creators and founders, In India Like Varun Mayya and others (yes, this video is ai generated!), who are using AI avatars to create their content. They aren’t sitting in front of a camera or recording each video. They just provide AI with a few hours of recorded voice and video, and the rest is handled by AI!

With tools like 11 Labs for voice and HeyGen for video, you can create lifelike avatars that speak directly to the audience.

I know that, there’s a small initial investment here, but the risk-to-reward ratio is incredibly high.

In Summary: Offer to build AI avatars for founders and brands who want to scale content without physically recording themselves.

People are paying between $1,000 and $5,000 for this service because it saves them time and effort. And the reach these avatars get? Millions of views.

But don’t think it’s just the avatar getting the views. It’s the value of the content behind it.

Which brings us to the second idea…

  1. Build an AI-Powered Ghostwriting, Content Writing, or Personal Branding Agency

    Imagine a content agency where writers don’t burn out, deadlines don’t feel overwhelming, and every piece of content is data-driven to engage the audience.

    That’s what an AI-powered ghostwriting or content writing agency can be.

    If you’re already a writer, this can be a game-changer. With AI, you can create and deliver content faster, even automating parts of your workflow.

    Start by writing a few articles yourself, even if they’re not perfect—we’re just getting a sense of your tone and style.

    After 2 weeks of daily writing:

    • Compile all your blogs or posts into a PDF and upload that to ChatGPT or Claude 3 Haiku if you have it.

    • Create a prompt to make the AI understand your tone, topics, niche, platform dynamics, and target audience.

    • Finally, give the AI a content outline, and watch it generate your draft. Then refine it and feed the improvements back to the AI to keep enhancing your results.

    Tell me in the comments, if you want a detailed step by step template to earn through this!

    As there are many more hacks and resources to share.

3. Build AI Apps

If you have some coding knowledge, consider building a B2B AI SaaS product or a B2C AI tool.

One such example could be a AI note taking app that organises your content and links multiple pages according to the content written in them and automatically create a Obsidian Like Graph View.

Think Obsidian, But AI powered for organisation and automatic linking!

The possibilities here are endless, and you don’t need to be a data scientist to bring your idea to life. Who knows, your idea might become the next big tool in the market!

4. Become an AI Agent Agency

Think of business consultancy services, but through AI! That’s like consultancy but on steroids.

AI agents are the next big thing and if you can understand them well then you can become rich! Like really rich.

There’s a bit of a learning curve, but if the idea of autonomous AI agents excites you as much as it does me, dive in. They work independently, performing tasks and generating value with minimal prompting.

Feel free to start learning it with me.
You can DM me on X or LinkedIn for understanding more about them.

5. Generate Websites for Small Businesses Using AI 

Many local businesses are sitting on untapped potential but lack a solid online presence. With tools like Framer and Wix’s AI website builder, you can create sleek, professional websites with minimal effort.

6. Client Acquisition and Retention with AI Agents 

Companies spend millions acquiring and retaining clients. Tools like Lindy let you build AI agents that can handle emails, follow-ups, and even meeting setups, all on autopilot.
