Kanoah Cunningham: the 24‑year‑old who left finance to lead a team of eight “clippers,” now pulling in $20K–$30K a month from crafting viral clips for startups, streamers, and brands. In one campaign, they helped a humanoid robot from 1X rack up over 500 million views via TikTok and Reels.

Clipping has become a huge part of the creator economy, and Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson wants in with his newest business venture Vyro—a video clipping platform that connects editors (known as “clippers”) to creators and brands…

clippers can choose which campaigns to take part in, and upload relevant short-form content across platforms. 

MrBeast currently offers $3 per 1,000 views (a competitive rate compared to platforms like YouTube, which pays Partners around .50-$2 per 1,000 views).

Niche selection: He focused on fandoms like Marvel, Star Wars, and Harry Potter.

Page growth: Built three fan pages with 115K, 45K, and 23K followers.

Content strategy: Used curiosity-driven content such as hidden easter eggs and unsolved stories.

The "sandwiching" method: Posts engaging, non-linked content before and after a link post to keep Facebook's algorithm happy.

Research sources: Pulled ideas from Reddit, YouTube, and competitor pages using engagement filters.

I have built real systems, delivered them, and consulted. My best month ever was 30k. Most months are 10 to 15k. Not viral flex money, but real.

I went deep into tech explanations, breaking down GPT prompts, n8n flows, data cleanup steps. I thought people would be impressed. Instead I watched their faces drop. Nods, fake interest, and then silence.

In the middle of my explanation he stopped me and asked how much money does this make us. I froze. I had no answer. I knew tools but not value.

No screen share, no tech talk. I only asked questions. What is slowing you down. Where is the mess… They spoke, I listened, I wrote notes… I asked what that costs them in hours or money. Once they said it out loud, the close was already halfway done.

When I finally pitched, I gave just one clear outcome. Not a presentation, not a list. One result. Example: every new lead gets a reply within a minute. Or your sales team only talks to qualified leads. When they asked how, I told them it runs with a tested GPT setup in the background. Then I went right back to ROI. That small shift changed everything…

Suddenly calls were smooth. Prospects leaned in. They bought. I was not performing anymore, I was diagnosing. That is when I actually started closing.

I’m 21 and make $1,200/month helping small businesses automate boring stuff

I started learning automation last year because I hated repetitive work. I wasn’t even trying to “start a business,” I just liked solving annoying problems with simple code and tools like n8n.

My first “client” was a local gym that needed help sending follow-up texts automatically. Then a dental office, then a real estate agent. I charged small amounts at first, but it added up to about $1,200/month — just from helping people save time.

– Most businesses don’t need AI, they just need fewer manual steps.
– The fastest way to get clients is by solving one specific pain point well.
– You don’t need to be an expert, learn as you go, but deliver something that actually works.
– Once someone sees their time being saved, they’ll gladly pay to keep it running.

all word of mouth. I started off messaging business owners I knew asking if they were interested in automating something. And from there my clientele grew…

Honestly, the best way to start is by fixing one annoying problem for someone you already know. Small wins build confidence fast, and once people see time being saved, word spreads on its own.

Five years ago, at the beginning of her PhD — alone, mid-pandemic, and missing the library study halls she'd relied on — Kaelyn Grace Apple invited her YouTube viewers to join a Zoom study session. Eight people showed up…

Those eight kept coming. Then 10, then 15, then 20. By summer 2021, with attendance hitting 20 regularly, Kaelyn began formalizing it.

their 500+ member community is global and diverse, spanning the U.S., Brazil, Singapore, and Australia, and comprising remote students, returning students in their 30s and 40s, and individuals with families or jobs that make in-person study sessions more challenging. 

In total, it generates around $14,000 monthly.
