Table of Contents
ToggleWant to make extra money with AI — but feel like you’re not “techy” enough?
Good news: you don’t need to be a programmer or a full-time content creator to get started.
In this guide, I’ll show you simple, beginner-friendly AI side hustles you can start this weekend — no technical skills required.
🔍 Why AI Side Hustles Are Perfect for Beginners
AI tools like ChatGPT, Canva, CapCut, and RightBlogger have made it easier than ever to create content, products, and services — even if you’re just getting started.
These tools:
Work fast (some results in minutes)
Don’t require a big investment
Help you learn as you go
Can turn into real income streams
Whether you want to start a blog, sell a digital product, or offer freelance services — AI can help you do it faster and with less stress.
💡 1. Write and Sell a Mini E-book with ChatGPT
Want to make something once and sell it forever?
You can use ChatGPT to help you write a short ebook — such as:
A beginner’s guide
A how-to list
A resource collection
A 3-step system you’ve used
Then design the cover and format it in Canva, and sell it on:
Your own website
Gumroad
Payhip
Etsy (for PDF guides)
Bonus: Add affiliate links inside the ebook to earn even more.
🎨 2. Create Pinterest Templates or Printables with Canva
If you enjoy design, this is one of the easiest AI-assisted side hustles.
Use Canva’s templates and AI tools to make:
Pinterest pin templates
Journals
Planners
Checklists
Vision boards
Quote packs
Then sell them on Etsy, Creative Market, or your own site.
Beginner Tip: Use Canva’s “Magic Write” to help generate text or headlines.
📝 3. Offer Blog Post Writing Services (with AI Help)
Businesses, coaches, and creators all need content. You can become their go-to blog writer — using ChatGPT + RightBlogger to speed things up.
Start by offering:
Blog writing
Website text
Product descriptions
SEO article outlines
Where to offer your services:
Fiverr
Upwork
Your own Hire Me page (like I did here on getaigrow.com)
Yes, this is one of my personal income streams — and you can do it too.
🎬 4. Launch a Faceless YouTube Channel
No need to show your face or speak on camera.
Just use ChatGPT to write scripts, CapCut for video editing, and AI voiceovers to bring your channel to life.
Ideas you can start with:
AI tools reviews
How-to videos
Motivational quotes
Music + visuals
Productivity tips
Once you get views, you can monetize through:
YouTube ads
Affiliate links
Your own products or services
Start with short videos and keep the workflow simple. It’s easier than it sounds.
🎵 5. Sell Custom AI Music or Audio
If you’ve tried tools like Suno.ai (which I use), you can create AI-generated songs, soundscapes, or lo-fi tracks.
Monetize your music by:
Uploading to Spotify and Apple Music via DistroKid
Offering custom song services for birthdays, weddings, and more
Selling music packs or background loops for creators
This is a great creative side hustle if you enjoy music and want something totally unique.
🔁 6. Sell ChatGPT Prompt Packs
This is one of the easiest digital products to create.
Write a pack of 10–50 ChatGPT prompts for a specific niche, like:
Content creation
Etsy sellers
Life coaches
Freelancers
Bloggers
Then package it into a simple PDF and sell it as a “Prompt Toolkit.”
You can list these on:
Gumroad
Your own website
As an upsell on Fiverr
💼 7. Build Your Own AI-Powered Starter Course
Yes, even beginners can create a mini course!
Use ChatGPT to:
Brainstorm lesson topics
Write scripts or slide outlines
Create a free lead magnet
Build the course in Coursify, like I did
Your course doesn’t need to be perfect — it just needs to help someone get from A to B.
Tip: Offer the first few lessons for free, then upsell the rest.
