Artificial intelligence has already revolutionized many aspects of our lives, and it can be a powerful ally when it comes to starting a new business or side hustle.

Today we are not going to talk about side hustles like dog walking or babysitting.

You do not have to deliver food or wash cars to earn extra cash and start your own business. In fact, we are going to focus on side hustle ideas you can start today, from your own home, with AI.

So let's see our top 4 AI side hustles that you can start today with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Before we dive into how you can create an online course with AI...

Here's an overview of what an online course generally contains as a digital product:

An online course is an educational program that people can take online, on their own time and at their own pace.

The creator of the course puts together a collection of video lessons and other resources and sells it online to help others learn a new skill.

You don't have to be an expert in order to sell online courses, and you do not need any certifications.

You only need to know something valuable that could help others reach a certain result.

In other words, you only need to be one step ahead of your ideal clients and be able to offer them valuable insights.

If you are not sure about what you could teach, think about what you are good at in your day-to-day life. Or your past / present experiences.

Maybe you are good at drawing, and you could share your skill with others. Or maybe you recently adopted a puppy, and you could help other dog owners train their own puppies. You name it!

#2: Create Digital Products With AI And Sell Them Online

AI can be a valuable tool for generating digital products that can be sold online.

The overall idea is to use AI tools to help you create digital products, and then sell them online through either your own website (using software like Heights Platform) or on specialized marketplaces.

If you are not familiar with the term, digital products are intangible goods or services that are created and distributed electronically, without a physical component.

Examples include software, e-books, templates, digital art, and more.

One example of a digital product that can be created with AI is digital art.

There are several ways to make money online with AI-generated art.

You can sell your creations through an online store, set up an Etsy shop, sell them on online marketplaces, or use them as marketing tools for your business.

Platforms like Heights Platform can help you sell digital products by providing features like commission-free earnings, customizable checkout pages, multiple payment options, and the ability to create your own website.

When any digital product, it's important to find a niche and focus on a specific platform.

For example - when it comes to digital art - you can specialize in printable art, digital wallpapers, or backgrounds.

Another AI-based digital product idea is to create and sell templates.

Depending on your niche, you can create templates for websites, emails, calendars, worksheets, and more.

These templates can be used in specific apps like WordPress or Canva, and AI tools can assist in adding images, generating text, writing code, or gathering ideas for new templates to sell.

#3: Build an eCommerce Store for AI-Generated Products

In the same way that you can use AI to create digital products, you can use it to create and sell physical products.

An e-commerce store doesn't necessarily have to sell physical goods, so if you prefer to keep your business 100% online, you can still do this by selling digital products (see point n.2).

So how can AI help you to build your e-commerce side hustle?

For example, you could create unique AI-generated art and sell objects with your art, such as t-shirts, notebooks, mugs, you name it!

There are many different print-on-demand services that allow you to upload your artwork and put it on any object you like - and they handle everything from manufacturing, printing and shipping!

The downside to this kind of side hustle is that you do not retain 100% of your earning as you need to share a percentage with the print-on-demand service. Plus, a physical e-commerce store has higher costs compared to selling digital products like online courses.

#4: Freelancing With AI

Another side hustle idea for extra income you can start with the help of AI is freelancing.

A freelancer is a self-employed individual who offers their services to clients on a project basis.

Rather than being employed by a single company, freelancers work independently and have the flexibility to choose the clients and projects they like the most.

If you are good at writing, you could become a freelance writer. If you have a knack for design, you could create websites for clients or become a graphic designer. And so on.

Artificial intelligence can help you speed up your work and take in more clients as a freelancer.

For example, if you are a freelancer who builds websites for clients, you could use AI to help you generate code, help you with the marketing copy and streamline your operations.

If you are a freelance writer, you could use AI to help you improve the style and quality of your text quickly, translate it, summarize it and so on.

Conclusion

Today starting an online side hustle has become easier than ever, thanks to the powerful tool that artificial intelligence can be for the solopreneur.

If you're looking for ways to make extra money from the comfort of your own home and earn a side hustle income, using AI can be a game-changer.
