AI FIXER
She Got Paid $2000 To Fix AI Mistakes
📝 From a recent article…
AI is making me extra money, says Sarah Skidd, a product marketing manager who writes for tech and start-up companies.
In May Ms Skidd was approached by a content agency to urgently rework website copy that had been produced via generative AI for a hospitality client.
What was supposed to save money had, instead, caused a host of problems.
"It was the kind of copy that you typically see in AI copy – just very basic; it wasn't interesting," says Ms Skidd.
"It was supposed to sell and intrigue but instead it was very vanilla."
Ms Skidd spent about 20 hours rewriting the copy, charging $100 (£74) an hour. Rather than making small changes, she "had to redo the whole thing".
💬 Sarah says others are getting paid for this kind of work…
"Someone connected with me and said that was 90% of their work right now. So, it's not only me making money off such missteps, there's other writers out there."
Similar story for AI-coded websites: web developers are being hired to fix AI's mistakes there, too.
If you've got skills that AI is encroaching on, consider marketing yourself as an AI Fixer, someone people call on after ChatGPT has botched the job 😎
PHOTO BOOTHS
Their Small Local Business Earned $16K in One Month
RingoKid78 writing about his passive income stream 👇
I own a small Photo Booth business. I average 100 events per year at $600 per event… Events are evergreen. Why not capitalize off them?
That's $60,000 a year, presumably working an average of two days per week 🤑
Then there's a woman on TikTok talking about a photobooth business she started with her husband about a year ago…
We mostly do weddings… we’ve done 120 or 130 events at this point…
Getting that first gig is always the hardest…
Eventually, I did find a Facebook group where people who are getting married are outsourcing their vendors…
I posted a giveaway to anyone who’s getting married within a certain date range, a certain radius from where we were, who would like a free photo booth at their wedding in exchange for content that we can promote on our social media.
Someone took that offer, they did the gig, and posted the content on TikTok…
[One] video grew to over a million views. And in that weekend alone, we got probably about 100 and 200 inquiries. We were able to book $16,000 worth of events in just one month.
It’s super crazy how TikTok can help small businesses like us
AI APP
$1600/Month After Watching His Dad Use a Computer
Kourosh Ghaffari is the founder of Voicy, an AI speech-to-text app that launched about a year ago 🚀
From a recent interview…
Voicy started when my dad came to visit me in London. He works a lot and spends hours on his laptop, but he types slowly. Around the same time, I tried ChatGPT’s voice dictation feature and was amazed by its accuracy. I thought ‘what if anyone could have that accuracy anywhere on their computer?’...
When I started, my coding skills weren’t strong enough to build a Windows or Mac app. So, I began with a Chrome extension.
The first version was simple; it just added a microphone icon to every text field. Click it, speak, and get the transcript.
Took him about 10 weeks to build the first version with AI coding tools 🤖
I started charging customers in February. Right now, we are at $1,600 in monthly recurring revenue.
Great example of someone building a solution to a real problem they’ve witnessed firsthand.
And using AI tools to become a proficient coder 💪
Try observing others using tech and see what problems they face.
Might lead to a winning business idea 💰

MEME BREAK
Infinite Money Hack
MIDDLEMAN
Earning $3200 as a Brand Deal Closer
📝 MintedFromGrit writes about…
one of the easiest ways to make real money online with just WiFi, email, and guts.
It’s called being a Brand Deal Closer — and if you’ve ever DM’d someone or negotiated anything in life, you already have what it takes.
You reach out to small–medium creators (on YouTube, TikTok, or IG)... DM or email them with a simple pitch: "I help creators find brand deals and negotiate better rates. You don't pay me anything upfront—I only get a cut (10-30%) when you get paid."
From there, your job is to find relevant brands, pitch the creator, negotiate the deal, and then collect your commission.
It's a total win-win: creators make more money, and so do you.
His results from doing this 👇
I have made 3200$ in the past 4 months
So not huge money but plenty of potential with this business model, as I've shared before…
Worth exploring if you enjoy sales / negotiation 👍

18 Specific AI Product Ideas You Could Build
Pete McPherson shares on the SHN podcast…
A few I like the sound of 👇
Sun Angle Tool for Photographers
ChoreForge: Gamify Family Chores
YouTube Broken Link Checker
🧐 But #14 really sticks out to me…
Pete ran a program called “Most Productive Month Ever” where he called participants 3-5 times per week, asking, “How’s it going? Did you do what you said you were going to do?” It had a 100% success rate.
The idea is to automate parts of this process while keeping human elements for real accountability. So AI could handle scheduling, progress tracking, and initial check-ins.
This could work for any goal — fitness, business, creative projects, or personal development.
Reminds me of: Boss As A Service = $62,500 Per Month
Sounds like Pete's non-automated program was a success, so you could do this manually to start, then work on automating it as you grow 📈
