Step-by-Step: Launch Your First AI Side Hustle
Step 1: Choose a Tiny, Profitable Niche
You don’t need to be an expert. Just pick a simple topic that solves a problem.
Here are a few niche ideas to get you thinking:
Side hustle guides for teachers
Planning checklists for weddings
Interview prep prompts for introverts
Use ChatGPT to help you explore which niches people are already searching for.
Step 2: Use ChatGPT to Build the Product
Ask it something like this:
Prompt:
"Act as a digital product creator. Give me a 10-page outline for a PDF that helps [target person] achieve [specific result]."
Then use follow-up prompts to generate content for each section.
Copy the content into Google Docs or Canva and format it like a clean, helpful PDF.
Step 3: Upload and Sell It
Use Payhip or Gumroad to launch your product.
Here’s what to do:
Add a short product title and description
Set your price (something like £7 to £17 works well)
Upload your PDF and publish your product page
You now have a live, sellable digital product created with AI.
What to Do Next
Now that your product is live, start sharing it.
Here are a few beginner-friendly ways to get your first clicks:
Share your link in niche forums or Facebook groups
Answer relevant questions on Reddit or Quora
Create a short Instagram post summarising your product
Add your product to a bundle and scale
You can repeat this process with different niches to build momentum.
