AI Side hustle no one's talking about
AI side hustle you could do on your lunch hour.
James here.
A couple of guys named Jim and Jason were reading a popular non-fiction book.
They weren't looking to start a business together.
They weren't even close friends.
Just two dudes who happened to be reading the same book at the same time.
But something clicked for them.
They noticed the book was packed with amazing tactics and strategies.
Right now…
People were following the steps in the book themselves.
Manually.
But…
Doing what the book talked about would be way easier with some simple AI tools.
So they had this crazy idea.
What if they reached out to the author?
The book has sold thousands and thousands of copies…
So it was obvious people liked it.
(And would probably like the tools based on the book.)
The worst thing that’d happen is the author said NO.
So they sent the author a short email about what they were thinking…
The author's response shocked them.
Not only did he love the idea...
They worked out a 50/50 split of the profits.
Jim and Jason didn’t have to…
Find people to buy the tool (the book had an audience)
Or
Do any marketing.
The book did it for them.
What Jim and Jason did…
Is leverage.
Using what you already know (in this case, AI) to solve problems for people who already want solutions.
The author already had the audience.
The audience already trusted the author.
All Jim and Jason had to do was vibe code the tools.
Took them maybe…
A few hours?
The hardest part was turning the tool into something people could buy.
They didn’t wanna set up a whole website…
…Or shopping cart.
They weren’t trying to be a business.
They just wanted to make some extra dough.
But they found something called Pick Axe.
It turns AI prompts and bots into sellable software.
No fancy website…
…Or expensive shopping cart needed.
They’ve even got a free level so it’s super easy to try out.
With Pick Axe…
You can do what Jim and Jason did.
Take a book that helps people…
Turn it into AI tools…
…And with a few emails?
Possibly team up with the author to sell your tools.
If you’ve got a side hustle that can make more and take less time?
Do it.
In your corner,
James Foster
