People engage in different side hustles depending on their potential profitability and required involvement. For example, some people prefer a hands-off approach, meaning initial efforts pay off in long-term passive income.
However, others continue investing their time and effort to avoid settling for a steady but similar income: they want it to grow significantly over time. Given such involvement, people naturally begin to explore the opportunities of AI, allowing them to hand over some of their tasks to this helpful assistant. Let’s see how AI can reinvent side hustles, making them easier to manage and maintain.
AI is your best friend when it comes to consulting about your plans and asking it to evaluate specific actions. For example, if you’re just starting to look for a legit online earning app, it can present you with a variety of options.
You can insist on a more hands-off approach, meaning you likely don’t want to dedicate too much time (or money). For such demands, you’ll likely be recommended to use services like Rakuten or Honeygain, with one hand giving you cashback on your shopping and the other paying for sharing your unused internet bandwidth. Both are popular side hustles, but more commonly referred to as passive income approaches.
AI can read and comprehend information fast, unlike any human. So, it will be incredibly effective at finding statistics and patterns, as well as summarizing information, for your side hustle.
For example, you can feed it data from articles or books and ask it to conduct market research or devise an intricate business plan. While AI might not produce a ready-to-go option, it will save time by reducing the need to shorten information and identify key highlights.
AI can produce articles on any topic and of any length in seconds. However, the use of such content is still frowned upon, potentially leading to situations in which AI will eventually learn from itself. Therefore, we need unique content and opinions online to prevent this.
However, AI can help craft internal messages to your potential clients or freelancers. The AI will match your intended level of formality and approach each person accordingly. Besides simplifying email communication, AI can serve as a customer support specialist, responding to clients’ concerns. After all, some side hustles could turn into full-fledged businesses, and reliable customer support is a non-negotiable for any company. Besides providing AI-driven chats, you can also engage with AI for phone calls.
Let’s say you are a content creator posting animated videos on YouTube. While you take time crafting the animation, you struggle with the sounds, music, and background music. You need to purchase new purchase tracks or keep reusing free ones, which gets repetitive and less engaging for your viewers. For this reason, we highly recommend exploring AI tools for generating music. Then, by simply paying for premium plans of the AI to have the option of using it for business purposes, you can generate as many tracks as you like.
Of course, we always advise you to support real creators who take the time to craft music or background tracks. However, if you’re just starting your side hustle, purchasing multiple tracks can quickly leave you with no budget left.
Instead of having AI produce your content, give it a task to critique your creation. It clearly emphasizes passages that need work and demands that it provide examples of why some things are wrong or would be better if rewritten with a different focus. Such a process is also helpful for AI, as it trains it to interpret content you upload. In other words, it gets to observe new human-written content, which contributes to its ability to produce better.
All in all, AI has reinvented many of our daily tasks, allowing us to save time. And while AI use cases seem abundant now, more are expected to appear later. For example, more and more programmers focus on coding with AI, intervening only to fix code or craft more suitable tests to detect errors/bugs. Given how things are going, programmers might become supervisors while AI handles the entire job. Similar scenarios could occur (or are happening) in other fields, too.
