TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The development of artificial intelligence (AI) has raised some concerns about its potential to replace humans in the workplace. However, this emerging technology also brings new opportunities to facilitate human activities, including helping you start a side hustle.
AI brings many new opportunities including automating those boring time-consuming tasks you don’t want to do, leaving you with more time and a boost in productivity. According to Forbes, Shopify and Heights Platform, these side hustle ideas can have you making money from your couch, with AI doing most of the heavy lifting.
1. AI-Generated Art and Design
Selling artwork and designs can be a lucrative way to make money. With the existence of AI-powered tools like Midjourney and DALL-E, you can create stunning digital artwork in minutes. Like illustrations of nature and panoramic landscapes that capture a viewer’s attention. Sell that online through Etsy or marketplace and you’ll be making money in no time.
2. AI Online Course
Turn one of your skills into a stream of revenue by making a course on it and use AI to do all the boring time-consuming work. Tools like Synesthesia can help convert text into video content and D-ID can create animated images, making the course more captivating.
3. AI Copywriting
Brands are always on the lookout for compelling copywriting, and AI tools like Copy.ai and Jasper make it easier to craft high-quality marketing material and speed up the writing process.
Nevertheless, it is essential to thoroughly review and edit the AI-generated content and ensure that it is free of grammatical errors and sounds natural.
4. AI Freelance Writing
These days it's becoming increasingly common for freelance writers to use AI tools like ChatGPT to streamline their work processes. It can help suggest an outline or even craft the entire article, but AI-generated content needs to be proofread to ensure accuracy and to work in a more natural tone to make it sound less robotic.
Additionally, some clients are reluctant to adopt AI in content production so being transparent and upfront with your use of AI is essential.
5. AI Newsletter
Another lucrative AI side hustle is creating newsletters. AI can help automate the content creation process, from summarizing key points to even personalizing newsletters for different audiences. You can then monetize your newsletter through subscriptions, sponsorships, or advertising space.
6. Faceless YouTube Channels
Faceless YouTube channels have been increasingly more common with the development of AI. With many videos only featuring voiceovers, music and animation, no one needs to know your identity. Use AI writing tools to generate engaging video scripts in no time. Other resources like Descript will assist you in the automation of voiceover narration from text inputs.
7. AI-Powered Social Media Management
Social media scheduling, content creation, and audience engagement can all be automated with AI tools, such as Hootsuite, Buffer, and SocialBee. Offering AI-powered social media management services to businesses or influencers can be a lucrative side hustle.
8. AI Virtual Assistant Services
AI chatbots and automation tools can help streamline customer service and administrative tasks. You can offer AI-powered virtual assistant services to small businesses, handling tasks like email responses, calendar scheduling, and data entry.
9. AI Prompt Consulting
With AI tools becoming more advanced, businesses and creators need effective prompts to generate high-quality content. If you understand how to craft powerful AI prompts, you can offer consulting services or even sell those prompts through platforms like PromptBase.
10. Print-On-Demand with AI
The last AI side hustle idea you should consider is print-on-demand. With an AI twist, this technology facilitates you in creating engaging slogans, quotes, and even designs to be later printed on various products, including bags, t-shirts, and mugs.
