7 BEST Ways to Make Money with AI as a Beginner in 2026 (AI Business Ideas)

About this video

Hayes presents seven beginner-friendly AI business ideas requiring no coding or large audience. 1) Content editing/repurposing services for busy creators, using Descript’s text-based editing and AI cleanup/clips and Canva Video 2.0, sold as weekly packages or monthly retainers via Upwork/Fiverr or direct outreach with a sample edit. 2) Homeschooling/parenting resource bundles — planners, routine and chore charts, lesson templates — created with ChatGPT for brainstorming/prompts and Canva AI for design, sold as higher-priced bundles on Etsy/Shopify and promoted in Facebook groups. 3) Printable wall art as instant downloads in niches like nursery, faith, motivational, seasonal and gallery sets, using MidJourney, KD AI, Canva AI and ChatGPT. 4) An AI coach clone using the tool she calls Deli, trained on your content and voice, sold standalone, as course support, or as an upsell. 5) Print-on-demand products via Printify or Gelato. 6) Custom GPTs built in ChatGPT for specific audiences, sold for monthly or lifetime access. 7) Canva invitation templates, sold as a template link (requires Canva Pro) for birthdays, showers, weddings and graduations, individually or as bundles.

Key takeaways

• Editing/repurposing is positioned as outsourced time-saving: use Descript and Canva Video 2.0, pitch via freelance platforms or by sending a creator a free sample repurposed clip.
• Bundle related digital resources (e.g., homeschool planners and charts) to raise price and value, using ChatGPT to brainstorm and Canva AI to design.
• Printable wall art and print-on-demand share design skills but differ in delivery: instant download files versus a provider printing and shipping physical products.
• AI coach clones and custom GPTs monetize specialized knowledge: train them on your content/knowledge files and sell access monthly, for a lifetime fee, or as a course add-on/upsell.
• Canva invitation templates are sold as an editable template link, not the file itself, so customers get their own copy; Canva Pro is needed to generate that link.
