How to make money online 2026
Kapitel 1: Why your ChatGPT and Claude subscriptions have only cost you money
So every single month you're paying for chat GPT and probably clawed as well and maybe something for video on top of that. And so far all of it has only cost
you money and hasn't made you anything back. And I've made a lot of videos about AI on this [music] channel. And there is one comment that turns up on every single one of them which is Vehav,
how do we actually use all of this to make some money? So I went and looked at dozens of these ideas properly [music] and most of them failed for one simple
reason which is that nobody could tell me who the [music] customer actually is.
and why that person would pay you. And these 10 are the ones that survived that. And [music] for every single one, I'm going to tell you the same four
things. So what you actually do, which AI tools you need, who pays you for it, and what it costs you versus what you can charge. And it honestly does not
matter where you're starting from with this. The first five you could genuinely start today without writing a single line of code. [music] And the last five
are the ones people are building actual companies on. And at the end, I'll give you my [music] secret prompt that picks the right idea for you and builds out
Minute, 1 Sekundeyour whole plan for getting that first paying client. And before we get into it, one quick thing. Even with everything in this video, there is a lot
Kapitel 2: Free 2-day AI masterclass this weekend
Minute, 9 about AI that I cannot fit into one video. So, if you want to go properly deep on this, I'm [music] teaching a free AI master class this weekend. It
Minute, 16 runs 2 days, 16 hours in total, and me along with a few other trainers will take you from zero to actually good
Minute, 24 [music] at this. We'll go through more than 20 AI tools, how to use AI in your actual day job, how to build agents,
Minute, 31 prompt engineering, and automations that save you [music] hours every week. It's completely free and the link is in the description.
Kapitel 3: 1. AI voice agent for local businesses with Retell ($3,000-$5,000 per build)
Minute, 40 So, the first one is answering the phone for a local business and the tool is called as retail. You pick a receptionist template, type in three lines about the business, what they do,
Minute, 49 what they sell when they're open, connect a calendar, grab a phone number for a couple of dollars, and it picks up, takes the booking, and drops it into
1:571 Minute, 57 the calendar with nobody involved. And the one thing that matters is the fallback line. So, when it gets a question it wasn't set up for, a good
2:042 Minuten, 4 one just says, "Someone will call you back in 10 minutes. One job, three things to collect, one fall back for everything else." because the moment it
2:122 Minuten, 12 starts guessing, people hang up. Now, agencies charge 3 to 5,000 just to build one of these. And with a CRM connected, that climbs to 30,000 plus a retainer.
2:232 Minuten, 23 And the honest running cost once you add the phone line and the model on top of the platform is somewhere between 13 and
2:312 Minuten, 31 30 cents a minute. So, a business doing 20 calls a day is spending maybe 2 to 400 a month to keep it running. So, the retainer covers the running and the
2:402 Minuten, 40 money is in that build fee, $3 to $5,000 for something you can put together in days once you've done it before. That gap is where the business sits. And I'm
2:492 Minuten, 49 not guessing because there's a guy called Harshit who does exactly this.
2:522 Minuten, 52 I've been through his real numbers and he runs a fivep person team doing multi-million a year selling voice agents at 20 to 50,000 plus retainer.
3:013 Minuten, 1 SekundeHis first build took 2 months. Now, it takes him 2 to 5 days. He still quotes two months because the client isn't buying his hours. They're buying their
3:093 Minuten, 9 phone getting answered. So for the second one, you've seen this photo.
Kapitel 4: 2. Get paid to evaluate AI on Mercor ($35+ an hour)
3:133 Minuten, 13 People with cameras strapped to their heads training robots to see that's data labeling in its most physical form. But there's a much easier version where you
3:213 Minuten, 21 sit at your laptop, look at answers and AI gave and get paid to say whether they're any good. The platform is called as Merkore. You sign up, take a short
3:303 Minuten, 30 assessment, and if you get accepted, you start reviewing AI outputs. Scale AI does the same. So do aligner and remote
3:373 Minuten, 37 tasks. Entry offers tend to start around $35 an hour and go up from there depending on what you actually know. And
3:443 Minuten, 44 if you've got a real specialism, a law degree, a medical background, that's where the higher rates live. The one thing I tell you up front is that the work comes in batches and it goes fast.
3:553 Minuten, 55 So treat it as hours you pick up, not a 40-hour week. And to show you how real this is, Merk did 614 million in
4:024 Minuten, 2 revenue. 90% of it from AI companies paying for exactly this kind of human judgment. The product they're selling is
4:104 Minuten, 10 people like you having an opinion. 10 minutes to sign up and you can be earning from it this week while you work out which of the other nine you want to
4:184 Minuten, 18 go deep on. So the third one is Zapier where you take the boring paperwork a business does every [music] day and get
Kapitel 5: 3. Automate a business back office with Zapier, n8n and Xero ($1,000-$2,000 a month)
4:244 Minuten, 24 it to run itself. A form gets filled in, a row shows up in the CRM, the team gets a Slack message. Nobody copied anything
4:324 Minuten, 32 across. You can do this inside cloud co-work or chat GPT work too. But neither of them reacts to an event. They
4:394 Minuten, 39 run on a timer. Whereas Zapier and N8 are actually sitting there listening. So the rule is let the AI help you build
4:464 Minuten, 46 it. Don't let the AI be the thing that runs it. Second piece is the money paperwork. Receipts land in a folder.
4:534 Minuten, 53 Zero Jacks reads them, categorizes them, flags anything odd, one clean report at month end. And the trap is simple. Don't
5:005 Minutengo near the bank feed in month one because everyone I know who lost a bookkeeping client lost them over permissions not quality. And Jack
5:095 Minuten, 9 Dorsey, the guy who founded Twitter, let go of 4,000 people at Block in February.
5:145 Minuten, 14 And the company said a big part of it was AI handling that work and profits went up afterwards. Those 4,000 jobs are
5:225 Minuten, 22 now services you sell for 1 to 2,000 a month. So the fourth one is generating content and it starts with Chat GPT making product photos. And the thing to
Kapitel 6: 4. AI content, video ads and voiceovers with ChatGPT, Higgsfield, OpusClip, ElevenLabs
5:305 Minuten, 30 understand is the real product isn't any one image. It's the whole set in a consistent style. For video, it's Higsfield or Open Art or Invido all
5:395 Minuten, 39 doing more or less the same job. For clips out of a long video, there's Opus clip. It finds the moments. You pick three and rewrite the first two seconds.
5:485 Minuten, 48 And picking the right three out of 15 is the actual job. For Voice, it's 11 Labs, $5 a month for the commercial license.
5:555 Minuten, 55 And on the free plan, you cannot legally sell a clip. And there's a guy I know called Priyanko who makes over a million and a half a year making video ads for
6:046 Minuten, 4 brands you'd recognize. That shoot traditionally cost the brand half a million with a crew and 3 weeks of post.
6:116 Minuten, 11 He charges 25 to 50,000. It costs him 2,000 to make. Now, two of these are already dead. Don't sell AI video ads as
6:196 Minuten, 19 a commodity. Tik Tok, Amazon, and Meta generate the basic ones free inside their own ad tools. And the reason
6:266 Minuten, 26 Priyanko still gets paid is he's selling taste, not generation. And don't build a business on dubbing. YouTube rolled it
6:336 Minuten, 33 out free to every creator in February in 27 languages. And the ceiling on this is itana Lopez. 400,000 followers. Not a
6:426 Minuten, 42 real person, built by an agency in Barcelona, bringing in around 10,000 in a good month. And you'll see people online claiming she makes 8,000 a post
6:516 Minuten, 51 and the agency has never said that. real business, just not the lottery ticket people sell it as. Now, the one that sounds small but pays the most per hour.
Kapitel 7: 5. Teaching AI one on one with ChatGPT and Claude Projects and Skills ($200-$500 a session)
7:007 MinutenSo, the fifth one isn't a tool at all, and that's exactly why people miss it, because this one is just teaching AI to
7:077 Minuten, 7 other people one-on-one and charging for it. And let me show you the size of the gap. Most people using chat GPT or claude open a blank chat box every
7:167 Minuten, 16 morning and type into it like it's Google and they have no idea something called as projects exists where you load in everything about their business once
7:247 Minuten, 24 so it already knows their customers and how they write and what they sell and they never explain themselves again and they don't know skills exist either
7:327 Minuten, 32 where you teach it a job once and it does it that way every time after. These aren't hidden, they're right there in the sidebar. People are paying $20 a
7:417 Minuten, 41 month using a tenth of what they already bought and they don't know what they don't know. That gap is the whole business. You sit with one person or one
7:507 Minuten, 50 small team for an hour or two and set it up around how they actually work. And one-on-one that's 200 to 500. A proper team setup is 500 to 2,000. It pays more
7:597 Minuten, 59 per hour than anything in the first four because you're not handing over a deliverable. You're handing over a problem that's gone. So those five you could start today. The next five are
8:078 Minuten, 7 where it gets bigger. Now, here's what's actually happening in the market. Oracle cut around 30,000 jobs over the past
Kapitel 8: Why companies are cutting jobs: Oracle, Block and the AI shift
8:158 Minuten, 15 year, and the stock still went up because the market saw the same revenue coming in with fewer people. And when these AI tools hit the IT sector this
8:238 Minuten, 23 year, hundreds of billions in services stocks moved in a single week because investors started to believe software can replace headcount. So, the next five
8:328 Minuten, 32 are built on that shift. So, the sixth one is Google AI Studio. And I'd start there because it's free, no card, nothing to pay. You describe what you
Kapitel 9: 6. Build software with Google AI Studio, Lovable and Replit ($500-$8,000 a project)
8:408 Minuten, 40 want, it builds it, you try to break it, you fix what broke, you ship it, and you've got a real working app with a proper URL running on a phone. Now, here's the ladder. Watch the prices.
8:508 Minuten, 50 Google AI Studio free. That's where you learn. Lovable $25. That's where you charge $500 to 2,000. Replit or claude
8:588 Minuten, 58 code or codeex about $20. That's $2 to 8,000 a project. Every rung cost the same $20. The only thing that changes is
9:069 Minuten, 6 where the app ends up living. This is the biggest trap in the video because the tool gets you 80% there in an hour
9:139 Minuten, 13 and it feels amazing. But that last 20%, their calendar, their payments, the way they actually work, that's where it breaks. That last 20% is the entire job.
9:239 Minuten, 23 So, anyone showing you a finished app in 20 minutes is showing you a prototype. And you can see both ends of this.
9:299 Minuten, 29 There's an agency called Imaginary Space doing a h 100,000 a month with a floor of 20,000 a project and two guys running
9:369 Minuten, 36 something called Shipit charging €10,000 for an MVP. Same tools, both making real money. And then there's Medvi, that
9:449 Minuten, 44 story everyone forwarded in April where the New York Times profiled it as a $1.8 billion company doing 400 million in
9:519 Minuten, 51 revenue with two employees and a pile of AI. And then it came apart because they'd allegedly been running 800 fake
9:589 Minuten, 58 doctor accounts on Facebook and they'd already had an FDA warning letter before that profile ran. The revenue was real and the business still wasn't. And the
10:0710 Minuten, 7 lesson there is that validation matters more than the tool. So the seventh one is finding customers. And this is the one businesses buy the fastest because
Kapitel 10: 7. Find customers for businesses with Clay ($1,000-$5,000 a month retainer)
10:1610 Minuten, 16 everything else on this list saves them time and this one makes them money.
10:2010 Minuten, 20 Here's the actual job. A business tells you who their customer is. a plumbing supplier in Texas, a dental clinic doing Invisalign, whatever it is, and you hand
10:2910 Minuten, 29 back a list of 200 real people with names, emails, job titles, and a reason to call each one this week. The tool is called as clay, and it honestly just
10:3710 Minuten, 37 looks like a spreadsheet. You put in the kind of company you're after, and it finds you the actual person you need, their email, their LinkedIn, and things
10:4510 Minuten, 45 like the fact that they changed jobs last month, which is the single best reason to call anyone. Apollo does the outbound side and Claude or Chat GPT
10:5310 Minuten, 53 writes the research layer feeding into it. And the reason this one is easy to sell is that the business already knows what a customer is worth to them. If a
11:0211 Minuten, 2 client is worth 10,000 and you bring them three, nobody argues about your 2,000 a month. 1 to 5,000 on retainer,
11 Minuten, 9 three clients and you're at 9,000 a month. So the eighth one is Happy Robot.
Kapitel 11: 8. Build one AI product for one industry: HappyRobot and Photo AI
11:1311 Minuten, 13 And all it does is answer that where is my truck question for trucking companies. And last week it raised 150 million at a $1.2 billion valuation
11:2211 Minuten, 22 backed by a 16Z. It's doing the exact same thing as idea 1, answering the phone except for one industry over and
11:3011 Minuten, 30 over. And that's the whole play. You take idea one or three or six and instead of keeping it generic, you point it at one industry and repeat it because
11:3811 Minuten, 38 a generic product competes with 50,000 listings and a specific one competes with about three. There's a guy called Peter Levels who makes around $105,000 a month from an app called Photo AI.
11:4911 Minuten, 49 People upload 10 photos and get AI versions back. and he runs it with zero employees of one PHP file. Same models
11:5611 Minuten, 56 everyone else has access to the exact same ones just aimed at one audience with one problem. Now the most boring idea on the list which is also the
12:0412 Minuten, 4 hardest one to lose. So the ninth one there's a company called as basis doing AI bookkeeping and in February it raised
Kapitel 12: 9. AI bookkeeping with Basis, Claude and n8n ($1,500-$3,000 a month per client)
12:1212 Minuten, 12 a h 100red million at 1.15 billion backed by Axel and Google ventures Google's own investment arm putting real
12:1912 Minuten, 19 money into accounting software and you can build a smaller version with claude and N8N or chat GPT and N8N it doesn't
12:2712 Minuten, 27 matter which where receipts come in transactions get categorized anything strange gets flagged and one clean
12:3412 Minuten, 34 report goes out 1,500 00 to 3,000 a month per client. So three clients is 4 and a half thousand a month. That shows up whether you did anything new or not.
12:4312 Minuten, 43 And that's the actual difference between this and everything in the first half of the video. And the whole moat here is trust. So again, don't touch their bank
12:5212 Minuten, 52 feed in month one. Don't automate their payroll. You start boring and you stay boring because the most boring business is the hardest one to walk away from.
Kapitel 13: 10. Set up AI for a whole team ($2,500-$10,000 per engagement)
13:0013 MinutenSo, the last one, it pays the most and you've already done it nine times in this video without noticing. So, the 10th one is the highest paying idea on
13:0913 Minuten, 9 this list and it's also the simplest. In the first nine, you were the one doing the work for a client. This one, you don't do the work at all. You walk into
13:1713 Minuten, 17 a company and set it all up for their team instead. Setting a whole team up pays 2,500 to 10,000 for a few days of
13:2513 Minuten, 25 work. And the reason a company happily pays that is simple. Because a company already has a training budget that's approved and sitting there and that
13:3413 Minuten, 34 money has to be spent before the year ends. So they're not really deciding whether to spend it. They're just deciding who to spend it on. So 10 ideas
Kapitel 14: The master prompt that picks your idea and builds your 30-day plan
13:4113 Minuten, 41 is a lot. So I've built a prompt you paste into Claude or Chat GPT and instead of telling you what to do, it asks you five questions and based on
13:4813 Minuten, 48 your answers, it picks one or two of the 10 ideas from this video and builds you a weekby-eek plan for the first 30 days.
13:5613 Minuten, 56 what to set up, what to skip, who to reach out to, and what to charge. So, that's 10 ideas. Act on them today. And one last thing, a while back, I was on a
Kapitel 15: The skill that actually matters, and where to start
14:0514 Minuten, 5 podcast with Josh Woodward, who runs the Gemini app at Google. What skill matters most? And he said, taste. So, that's the
14:1214 Minuten, 12 list. One problem for one person becomes a system that runs without you. And that system becomes the business. and everything from today, the tools, the
14:2014 Minuten, 20 pricing, that master prompt, all of it is already broken down step by step inside my WhatsApp group. So, the link for that is below. And if you actually
14:2914 Minuten, 29 want to go and do one of these, that's what the free master class this weekend is for. It runs 2 days, 16 hours, and that link is in the description as well.
14:3614 Minuten, 36 And if the one you want to build is that phone agent from the first idea, I've already made a video on exactly that, and it's sitting on the end screen right
