💰️ 1 AI Business Idea For You

$20k/mo Creating Content For Influencers (this one is 🔥)

You could make up to $20k/mo doing this
This idea is a little bit out of the box, but that’s what makes it so good
Here’s a video that explains this if you don’t feel like reading

Here’s what makes this idea so profitable…

• Unsaturated

• High demand

• Low competition

• Low expenses

The perfect storm for everything needed in a good profitable business

Here’s how it works…

It involves providing ghostwriting/content creation services for influencers and business leaders on platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Threads

Influencers are always in need of writers to help post on their social platforms

Alex Hormozi puts out 250+ pieces of content per week
You really think he’s putting that out all by himself?

No way, he has a team that extracts the essence from the videos he publishes and repurposes it into written content for Twitter, Threads, LinkedIn, etc.

Here are the steps to help you start this…

1. Create a professional looking website to showcase your services, using a platform like Squarespace or Wix. Get a custom domain email address.

2. Identify influencers/business leaders to target for your outreach. Look for ones not actively using a platform like Twitter or LinkedIn.

3. Reach out on their least used platform through messages. Pitch offering your writing/management services for free at first.

4. Provide great service, then offer paid packages around $500-$1000/mo for basic service. Expand offerings.

5. Use a CRM like Monday to organize your outreach and manage clients. Track growth of their accounts.

6. Hire freelance writers as needed from sites like Upwork to fulfill the writing work. Start with test pieces.

7. You can use Claude to help you write content as I find it’s much better than ChatGPT at making its writing sound human

8. Scale up by raising rates over time and hiring more writers to take on more clients. Expand to additional platforms.

9. Consider expanding into related services like video editing, email newsletters, etc for influencer clients.

10. Continue optimizing your packages, marketing, and streamlining the operations as you grow.

11. When ready, establish a formal LLC for liability/tax purposes as the business grows.

tl;dr: Provide content for influencers - high demand, low competition. Make $500-$20k/month.

📝 4 Articles You Should Know About

😨 Facebook's Dramatic New Shift Towards Viral Videos Will Change How You Use the App

Summary: Meta is evolving Facebook into more of an entertainment platform by focusing on recommended video content. Kinda like TikTok’s algorithm

Key points:

• Renaming 'Watch' tab to 'Video' to highlight all video offerings, not just original shows

• Redesigning video Explore to highlight trending and recommended clips

• Integrating Reels editing tools into main feed for more short-form video creation

• Allowing Instagram Reels to be viewed/commented on within Facebook without switching apps

• Pushing more AI-recommended video based on usage trends showing people are spending more time watching video

tl;dr: Facebook moving to entertainment focus by recommending more AI-picked viral videos to keep people engaged as personal sharing declines.

🤖 Musk Unveils His Most Terrifying Idea Yet - An AI With No filters That Speaks Painful 'Truths

Summary: Elon Musk announced a new AI company called xAI that aims to create super-intelligent AI to help solve complex scientific mysteries.

Key points:

• Goal is for an AI that can understand the universe and answer unsolved questions.

• Focused on advancing science, not consumer products - yet.

• Very early stage compared to OpenAI, Google, etc.

• May work with Tesla for computing power and engineering.

• Requires massive computing resources to train models.

• AI may speak uncomfortable truths, offending people.

Our take: I think the AI world is in need of an uncensored, unwoke, unafraid to get down and dirty AI model. Too many of these AI tools are incredibly too sensitive and limits usage. I’m hoping this is the vision Musk has. It can shake up the AI space in a good way

💊 Tech Execs Turning to Alcohol and Drugs to Cope with AI-Related Job Stress

• 31% increased drinking due to layoff stress.

• 45% use prescription painkillers, 34% use stimulants.

• Can export code to more services like Replit.

• Share responses via links and add images to prompts.

tl;dr: Google rolls out big upgrades to Bard's availability, languages, customization features and productivity tools as it competes with ChatGPT and other AI chatbots.

Our take: This is a huge upgrade for Bard. You can take a picture of food, send it to Bard, and have it give you a recipe. Here’s an example of me doing this
