AI automation is breaking the Internet.
It's allowing complete beginners to make hundreds of dollars per day with just a few clicks.
In this post, I'll go over the top three automated AI side hustles that I've discovered from trying dozens of online businesses over the past 10 years.
Ultimately,
I'll reveal a new and untapped AI side hustle that can make you over $1,000 per day.
But it won't be this easy for much longer, so you must take action.
Automated Side Hustle #1: Content Conversion
This is a newer side hustle that you might not be familiar with. Let me explain its two parts.
Long Form vs. Short Form Videos
YouTube has around 800 million mostly long-form videos like this one, while the world is switching over to short form,
thanks to TikTok.
This presents a lucrative opportunity that smart people are already taking advantage of.
There are entire channels dedicated to finding the best long-form content and converting it to short-form.
For example, a channel uploaded shorts of Robert Kiyosaki talking about finance and got 94 million views.
Shorts have much lower RPMs than regular long-form YouTube videos, and RPM is just the amount of money you make per 1,000 views.
But even with a low RPM of 10 cents, that's still 9 grand in profit from barely doing any work.
With the AI tool, I'll go over in just a second, you can automatically generate shorts like these in just a couple of clicks.
Another channel uploaded podcast clips and got 119 million views, translating to $11,500 in profit.
Yet another channel uploaded clips of Jordan Peterson talking and got 180 million views, making $188,000 profit just from one channel.

Creating Clips Effortlessly
First, go to YouTube and search for long-form videos of a popular person talking, for example, Robert Kiyosaki's interview.
Find a recent video that doesn’t have any background music or edits, copy the link, and then go to a site called Opus.
Click, and it will automatically create dozens of clips for you.
These aren’t just random clips; the AI will develop clips with high viral potential.
For example, a clip might have a viral score of 99 out of 100, and they also automatically add captions to make the clips much more engaging.
Language Translation
Most channels produce content in only one language, but this limits viewership to only those who understand it.
Videos could be manually translated into another language, but this would be expensive and not worth it for most channels.
However, with the advent of this AI tool, you can now translate entire videos in just a couple of clicks.
Find a long-form video in English, copy the link, and then go to ElevenLabs. Click on dubbing, choose YouTube as the source, and paste in the link.
For the target language, pick Spanish and click Create. It will automatically turn the entire video into a Spanish video.
Automated Side Hustle #2: YouTube Automation (with a Twist)
You've probably heard of YouTube automation before.
Though it’s not as lucrative as the bonus side hustle.
I’ll go over it later, there are still people printing money with it.
For instance, one channel makes long videos about interesting stories without ever showing their face, using just images or stock footage.
Despite that, they’re getting over 6 million views a month and probably making around $3,000 a month.
Creating Videos Quickly
With the AI tool, I'll show you in just a little, you can make very similar videos in just a few clicks.
Another channel makes simple travel videos and gets over 3 million views a month, likely making $115,000 a month.
Generating Scripts and Videos
Creating videos like these would normally take multiple days to complete.
You'd have to research, write the script, record the voiceover, find visuals, and then edit it all together.
Thankfully, there is an incredible AI tool that does it all for you.
Find a successful channel that makes videos without showing their face.
It’s best if the main focus of the video is on the audio rather than the visuals.
Find one of their most viral videos and copy the link.
Go to downsub.com and download the transcript in text format in English.
Go to Claude.ai and give it a prompt like this: "Ideas for YouTube videos about hypothetical scenarios.
Make them thought-provoking and attention-grabbing.
Here is a list of the top-performing topics in this niche you should emulate."
Then give it five or so titles of the channel's most viral videos.
After it generates a few ideas, pick your favorite one.
Then give it a prompt like this: "Write a script for topic number three using a similar style as this," and attach the transcript you downloaded from downsub.com.
The script should sound natural.
Copy it, go to ai.invideo.io, under workflows choose a script to video, choose YouTube video, paste in your script, then choose your background music, choose your voice, click continue, click generate a video, then choose your audience, look and feel, and platform.
Click continue, and it will start to create the entire video for you automatically. Once it’s done, you can give it more commands to make changes if you want.
Automated Side Hustle #3: Shorts Automation
Shorts are great because they're much easier to create, and while they aren’t as profitable as the bonus side hustle I’ll go over in just a little, you can still print money with them.
For example, a channel makes videos about life lessons and stories with morals, without recording anything themselves or showing their face.
They go viral daily and got 159 million views just last month alone.
Even with a low RPM of 10 cents, that’s $166,000 in profit in only one month.
Creating Viral Shorts
To create original and viral shorts in just a few clicks, find a successful channel with viral shorts that lack great visuals.
Go to one of their viral shorts, copy the link, download the transcript using downsub.com, and copy it.
Go to Claude.ai and give it this prompt: "Use a different but equally thought-provoking and intriguing hook," and paste it into your script.
It will create a slightly different but still viral-worthy script.
Go to shortx.ai, choose to paste your transcript, and paste in the script you got from Claude. Ensure the estimated video duration is under 1 minute.
Set image style to pre-made and cinematic, change the image every 2 seconds to keep the viewer engaged, and choose an AI voice from ElevenLabs, such as Anton or Marcus.
For video editing, change the font to Monera, lines per caption to two, font size to around 100, max random rotation degree to around 15, and pop in color behind the text to bright green.
Click run automation, and it will use AI to create the entire video for you automatically.
After it's created, it will give you a virality score out of 100, a unique description, and the best hashtags to use.
Save all those settings as a template, so your future videos only take a few seconds to create.
This way, you can pump out viral shorts without doing much work at all and run multiple channels to multiply your income.
Bonus Side Hustle: TikTok Automation
TikTok has recently introduced a new program called the TikTok Creativity Program.
This incentivizes creators to post videos over 1 minute long by paying people up to $1 per 1,000 views, which is 10 times higher than YouTube shorts.
The best and easy-to-use TikTok automation tool is Autoshort.ai
It's a Special Build For Tiktok Automation.
People are taking full advantage of this without showing their faces or recording any content themselves.
For example, an account posts videos of scary stories and got 100 million views last month alone.
Their RPM is probably lower than $1 due to the sheer volume of views they're getting, but even with an RPM of 50 cents, that’s $50,000 in earnings in one month.
Another account makes simple quiz videos and got 72 million views just on two videos, earning $36,000.
Yet another account posts videos about Rick and Morty’s shower thoughts, getting 56 million views last month.
Like shorts automation, you can use AI to create entire videos, but you have to do it correctly. I recommend watching a detailed tutorial for the complete process.
