AI business ideas, side hustles, and ways to make money online are everywhere right now. This episode breaks down the real ways people are actually using AI to make money today.

Ben went down a rabbit hole and came back with a mix of practical, weird, and surprisingly effective AI business ideas. Not theory. Not hype. Stuff people are already doing. From AI generated feet pics and fake grandma influencers to one star review content, faceless YouTube channels, AI music, and digital products, this is what it actually looks like in the wild.

Jon challenges most of them, pushing back on what actually works, what is already saturated, and what sounds good but falls apart in execution.

Some of these ideas are smart. Some are borderline ridiculous. All of them prove the same point. The bar is still incredibly low.

This is not about building an AI startup. It is about using tools that already exist to test ideas fast and find what sticks.

Topics covered:

• AI generated content and fake personas

• AI feet pics and niche monetization

• faceless AI influencers and viral content

• turning one star reviews into content channels

• AI music and selling custom songs

• faceless YouTube and background content

• AI voiceovers and simple Fiverr services

• AI books, coloring books, and digital products

• how to test and batch content quickly

• where these ideas actually work and where they don’t

Business is simple. People are lazy.

Live selling, ecommerce, and reselling on Whatnot and TikTok are creating a new way to make money online. This episode breaks down a live auction business where products sell every 30 seconds through urgency, entertainment, and impulse buying.

Kip Roland (X - @kip_roland) spent years selling on eBay, Amazon, and Etsy until Amazon suspended his account. Instead of rebuilding on a platform he did not control, he pivoted to live auctions and built a business that moves inventory in real time.

Ben and Jon talk with Kip about how this actually works and why it is completely different from traditional ecommerce. You are not listing products and waiting for buyers. You are running a show where people show up to watch and end up buying things they did not plan to purchase.

Kip explains why variety beats depth, why the show matters more than the product, and how resellers move inventory every 30 seconds without listing anything in advance.

Local business ideas, side hustles, and simple ways to make money offline are everywhere. This episode breaks down a postcard advertising business that can be started with no money by selling ad space to local businesses.

Rachel from Big Sky Automation explains how “community cards” work, one postcard sent to thousands of homes with multiple local businesses sharing the cost. The postcards are sent using Every Door Direct Mail EDDM through the USPS, so you can reach thousands of homes without ever buying a list.

Then Ben and Jon get into what actually matters with Rachel, how you sell spots before you build anything, who to pitch, and how this turns into a simple local business without upfront cost.

Find more on Big Sky Automation and check out their their community with our referral link at Community Card Playbook. Get started today!

Topics covered:

• how the postcard ad business works

• Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) postcards

• selling ad spots before building anything

• pricing at $150-$250 per business and scaling up

• how to find and pitch local businesses

• using Facebook and email outreach to close deals

• why “junk mail” still works as advertising

• indirect vs direct response marketing

• choosing the right businesses for each card

• turning one postcard into recurring revenue

This is a simple local business hiding in plain sight. No inventory. No ads. Just selling access to attention.

Business is simple. People are lazy.
