Today I'm going to break down nine AI side hustles you can do with no money. These can potentially make you hundreds to thousands of dollars a day, and I know because I've done or still do many of these myself. I'll begin with the easiest AI side hustles and work my way up to the harder yet higher earning ones.
Kicking things off:
1: Photo Colorization
Black and white photos have their charm, but adding color to them can bring them to life. That's why many seniors and their families are paying for such a service on Fiverr, a freelance service marketplace. People are colorizing photos for around $5 to $10 each. Now, that might not sound like much, but being that it takes 15 seconds to do with AI, it's not bad. Here’s how it works: I’m going to pull up CapCut, a free all-in-one video editing and graphic design tool. Its new CapCut for Business suite offers a bunch of AI tools for entrepreneurs and creators to make content with. I can select the photo colorizer tool and, with a single drag and drop, I can turn a black and white photo into a colored one in an instant. It's crazy! To make more money, you can consider upselling additional services like photo restoration; black and white photos often come faded and scratched. With the old photo restoration tool, you can repair those damages and make things look new. Another upsell you can offer is upscaling; using the image upscaler tool, you can increase the resolution of an old photo and make it higher quality. As you can tell, CapCut has a lot of AI tools. In fact, every AI side hustle I’ll be covering today will only use CapCut and nothing else. It’s pretty OP! For difficulty, I’m going to rate photo colorization 1 out of 5 sweat drops. For earning potential, I’m going to rate it 1 out of 5 stacks because it is so easy to do. It does bring along a lot of competition, at least on Fiverr, which limits how much you can charge. You might have to promote your services offline to retirement homes or funeral homes; you'll have to get creative.
2: Clothing Model Photos
When it comes to selling clothes, clothing brands often need photos of models wearing their products. If you think I'm going to tell you to pull out a camera or unleash your inner Zoolander, no. With AI, there's no need because you've got an entire army of models at your fingertips. With the CapCut for Business AI model tool, you can upload a photo of a piece of clothing and choose a model, click generate, and in seconds, AI will apply your clothing onto the model. It is magic! You can offer this service on Fiverr or directly to small clothing brands. Typically, a photo shoot with a model can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars. Realistically, will people pay the same amount for AI models versus real models? Probably not. Will they pay $20, $50, or $100? Maybe. For difficulty, I’m going to rate clothing model photo 1 out of 5 sweat drops. For earning potential, I’m going to rate it 2 out of 5 stacks. I would guess most clients choosing AI models have a limited budget, so you'll earn less, but with volume, the work could be worthwhile.
3: Captioning Videos
Nowadays, features captions more than ever to increase accessibility and hold your short attention span. Therefore, captioning is in big demand on Fiverr. Revenue can range from $10 to $60 per video based on its length. Captioning with AI is incredibly quick. After creating a video project on CapCut and placing a video onto the timeline, click captions, then auto captions. Immediately, AI will caption the entire video for you. You can then review the captions to fix any errors and you're good to export. Some opportunities to upsell include offering different fonts and styles, in-and-out animations, and translations in multiple languages. Of course, make sure you know the language you're translating to, or else things may not come out right. You can offer your captioning services on Fiverr, but what I suggest is directly reaching out to potential clients. Look for small to medium-sized content creators, podcasters, businesses that post webinars and interviews, and real estate agents that post real estate videos. If you can strike up some long-term partnerships, you'll set yourself up for some good money. For difficulty, I'm going to rate captioning 1 out of 5 sweat drops. For earning potential, I'm going to rate it 2 out of 5 stacks.
4: Product Photos
Speaking of clothing earlier, other types of products need photos as well. Businesses are particularly looking to add that classic white background to their raw product photos; that's where you come in. In CapCut's online photo editor, you can upload a raw photo of a product and click remove background. On the side, by toggling on auto removal, AI will automatically cut out the background. It's as easy as that! On Fiverr, people are adding white backgrounds for $5 per photo. Makes sense for just a couple of seconds of work. Now, another way to make money with product photos is to do the opposite and offer detailed backgrounds. Heading back to CapCut, I'm going to click on apps and then the change background tool. I'm going to upload my raw product photo and select one of the many different background options. When selecting one, CapCut will actually analyze your product and generate a custom AI background that interacts with it. You're going to be able to charge more than $5 for this. If you really want to make money with product photos, you'll need to work with businesses that don't even have photos to send you in the first place. Back in university, one of my main side hustles was product photography. I freelanced for a company that made product development hardware and would go to their office every few months to take photos. Click by click, I would cut out the backgrounds using Photoshop. It took hours, but I made over $100 every time. Over the years, thousands! With AI, now you can do what I did but in seconds. For difficulty, I'm going to rate product photos 2 out of 5 sweat drops. The editing is effortless with AI, but if you're going to take product photos yourself, you're going to need to know a bit about photography. For earning potential, I'm going to rate it 3 out of 5 stacks. There's definitely money in this.
5: Social Media Graphics
When I freelanced for that product development company, I also designed a lot of social media graphics for them, and I made thousands of dollars over the years. With AI, offering social media graphics to businesses is easier than ever. CapCut has a tool called text-to-design where you write a description of the graphic you want and upload an image. It'll then generate several custom graphics for you to choose from. You can also browse their library of business image templates and select a design to start off with. They have standard square templates, Instagram story templates, and you can always edit a graphic from scratch too. The best way to make money with social media graphics is through long-term partnerships. You're going to want to aim for a consistent amount of work. Try reaching out to some businesses and see if they're down. A great upsell of the package with your designs is social media copy, which you can even write with ChatGPT. For difficulty, I'm going to rate social media graphics 3 out of 5 sweat drops. While you can use templates, if you ever need to make something specific, you'll need to know a thing or two about graphic design. For earning potential, I'm going to rate it 3 out of 5 stacks. It's a great gig.
6: Content Repurposing
Many video creators need help repurposing their long-form content into short-form content like TikToks and Instagram Reels and will pay tens to hundreds of dollars per edit. Typically, repurposing video content consists of adding captions, which we covered earlier, and resizing to fit the aspect ratio of each platform. In Creatify's AI Editing Tool, you can quickly switch between common social media aspect ratios. If you're repurposing for TikTok, there's also a preview that you can use to make sure elements like captions aren't covered. Many creators will also want video effects and b-roll to be added on as well, so that's something else you could offer. A good starting point is to reach out to creators who make simple talking head interview or podcast videos. These videos are easy to repurpose, and many of these creators do need the help. For difficulty, I'm going to rate content repurposing 3 out of 5 sweat drops. It will require some video editing knowledge. For earning potential, I'm going to rate it 3 out of 5 stacks.
7: Thumbnails
Another area you can help creators with is designing YouTube thumbnails. On Fiverr, people are charging up to $50 per thumbnail, though honestly, I think there are plenty of YouTubers out there who are willing to pay more because they know just how important a thumbnail is. You can design thumbnails using CapCut; there are a bunch of features to play with from text to photos to stickers. I find the remove background tool mentioned earlier to be the most handy. Designing a good-looking thumbnail is one thing; designing one that people will click on is another. If you want to succeed, you're going to need to do some research and analysis on what really makes a good thumbnail. To bring in clients, I suggest you reach out to creators, big and small, as well as businesses with YouTube channels. Have a portfolio to present them or, even better, examples personalized for them. For difficulty, I’m going to rate thumbnails 3 out of 5 sweat drops. It does require a good eye for design and an understanding of what attracts clicks. For earning potential, I’m going to rate it 4 out of 5 stacks. Thumbnails are crucial for video success, so many creators will pay well for high-quality designs.
8: Script Writing
As video content becomes more prevalent, so does the need for well-written scripts. Many creators pay freelancers anywhere from $100 to $500 for a video script, depending on its length and complexity. You can leverage AI writing tools to assist you in crafting compelling scripts. With Creatify's AI Script Writer, you can input a topic or outline, and it will help generate engaging content that fits the creator’s style. Additionally, consider offering script revisions and consultations as an upsell. To find clients, reach out to YouTubers, podcasters, and businesses producing video content. For difficulty, I’m going to rate script writing 3 out of 5 sweat drops. You’ll need strong writing skills and some knowledge about the topic. For earning potential, I’m rating it 4 out of 5 stacks since scripts can command high rates, especially for longer videos.
9: Voiceovers
Finally, one of the most lucrative AI side hustles is providing voiceover services. High-quality voiceovers are in demand for videos, advertisements, and e-learning content. With AI voice generation tools, you can create realistic voiceovers without needing a studio or your own voice. AI Voice Actor offers AI voiceover capabilities, allowing you to select from various voice options and customize the tone and pacing. Pricing for voiceover work can range widely, from $50 to several hundred dollars per project, depending on length and usage rights. To attract clients, consider creating samples of your voiceovers and showcasing them on platforms like Fiverr or directly reaching out to content creators. For difficulty, I’m rating voiceovers 2 out of 5 sweat drops; while it’s straightforward, you’ll need to ensure the quality of your audio and selection of voices. For earning potential, I’m rating it 4 out of 5 stacks, as businesses often pay well for professional-sounding voiceovers.
These AI side hustles represent a great opportunity to leverage technology for generating income without the need for significant upfront investment. Whether you’re looking for a side gig or a full-time venture, these ideas can be tailored to fit your skills and interests, allowing you to earn money while using cutting-edge AI tools.
