BEST Claude A.I. Side Hustle Nobody is Talking About

About this video

A long argument for why ebooks on Amazon KDP are, in his view, the best beginner AI side hustle, structured as an elimination of alternatives. AI agencies require clients and sales; vibe-coded apps break and require coding knowledge to fix; faceless AI channels compete for attention and, he notes, YouTube monetization needs 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours — he says it took him a year. Courses need expertise and an audience, software needs developers, paid communities need a brand, and PDFs on Gumroad/Etsy/your own site get no traffic. Ebooks win, he argues, because AI’s core strength is producing content, the product is made once and resold, and Amazon supplies traffic, payment, delivery, support and refunds. The worked example repeats his Claude workflow on decluttering: get topic ideas, identify two or three core pain points, build title then benefit-heavy subtitle, create a detailed eight-chapter outline with sub-sections, generate about 1,250 words per sub-section into a Google Doc, and edit heavily because generic AI output is repetitive and shallow. He is candid that one-prompt books fail, and the video pivots into a pitch for his own Co-author.ai tool and Road to Hero mentorship. His $9 million across businesses is his own claim.

Key takeaways

• Judge AI business models by what beginners lack: clients, coding skill, audience, or traffic
• The product should match AI’s strength — content — hence ebooks over apps or agencies
• Selling on Amazon removes the traffic problem that kills own-website/Gumroad digital products
• Pain points come before the outline; pick 2–3 core problems the book will actually solve
• Generic AI is a drafting tool requiring prompting skill and heavy editing, not a one-prompt money button
