I hear this question a lot: “I signed up for ChatGPT… now what?”
Many people believe they have to be tech experts or create something complicated to make money with AI. But that’s not the case. You don’t need a fancy setup, coding skills, or a big budget. You just need the right strategy and a willingness to take the first step.
That’s why I joined Nehemiah Davis again on his Circle of Greatness podcast. And broke down seven ways to make money with AI that anyone can try. Even if you’re starting from scratch.
Before diving into the seven strategies, Alicia Lyttle kicks off the conversation with a clear, actionable take on how AI can fuel income.
These aren’t just ideas. They’re real moves I walked Nehemiah through, step by step. If you’re ready to turn AI into income, here’s how we do it.
Nehemiah kicked things off with a question I get all the time: “How do you actually start making money with AI?”
I didn’t give him a list. I gave him a prompt.
“Act as my seven-figure business coach. Your job is to help me start and scale a business that generates at least $1M in revenue in the next 12 months.”
I dropped that prompt into ChatGPT and showed him the results: a full roadmap, broken down by month, week, and even day. It covered the strategy, target audience, offer, and action steps. And when Nehemiah saw how specific it got, he was impressed.
This is how you start. Before you launch anything, let AI help you build the blueprint.

Nehemiah asked, “What if someone doesn’t want to launch a full business?”
I said: Start with LinkedIn makeovers.
I pulled up ChatGPT and showed him how I rewrite headlines, About sections, and even suggest banners and CTAs. It’s fast, it’s clean, and people are paying anywhere from $100 to $1,500 for it.
Because it’s not just a profile, it’s your pitch. I’ve seen clients go from invisible to booked just by getting this right. It’s one of the quickest ways to turn AI into a source of income.
People get hyped when I show them this. I took one podcast episode and turned it into 36 clips in under 4 minutes using Opus Clip.
The tool rates each clip for how likely it is to go viral, writes captions, and schedules posts. What once took a full-time editor’s days now only takes minutes. And yes, clients are paying $500 to $5,000/month for this service.
Creators use this to stay consistent without burning out. Coaches, podcasters, and educators are all seeking ways to expand their content. This is how you turn one video into a full content system and get paid for it.
We shifted into automation, and I pulled up one of my favorite demos: the press release bot.
It asks five questions and instantly writes a full release. I built it using GPTs and ManyChat, and clients love it. It saves time, keeps messaging tight, and runs on autopilot.
I told Nehemiah how students have charged $500 to $1,000 per bot. And once it’s built, it keeps working on its own. This is the kind of AI that can make money for you around the clock.
From bots to books. This is one of the strategies I walk my students through to build digital income.
I show how I use Otter to transcribe conversations, then drop the transcript into ChatGPT to turn it into a full ebook.
We built one live, step by step: title, subtitle, summary, all in minutes. I explained how students turn these into digital products they sell on Gumroad or SamCart. Some sell ebooks for $17, others bundle them into full courses for $97 or more.
This is how you turn your voice into value. With just one idea and a transcript, you can create a product that starts earning for you. AI speeds up the process, but your personal touch makes it unique.
This one always surprises people. How I use Syllaby to create, schedule, and publish faceless videos automatically.
Scripts, tags, calls to action, and thumbnails are all taken care of. I scheduled seven videos in just a few minutes. There’s no need for filming or editing, as AI handles everything.
This approach creates content quietly but delivers big results. If you’re looking for passive income, this is a great way to use AI to earn in the background.
As we wrapped up the interview, Nehemiah asked what’s possible when you go deeper with AI. I shared how I’ve turned what I know into paid trainings, workshops, and consulting sessions.
One company invited me for a 45-minute session, which led to an $8,500 check. These days, my rates range from $3,500 to $15,000 an hour, depending on the client and project. But here’s the key: it’s not about being the smartest person in the room. It’s about knowing how to solve real problems with AI.
Schools, nonprofits, and companies are all trying to figure this out. And they’re looking for someone who can guide them. That’s why I created the AI Consultant Certification Program. I teach people how to package their knowledge, land clients, and deliver trainings that actually move the needle.
If you’ve been wondering how to make money with AI in a way that truly makes a difference, this is one of the most powerful paths.
Seven ways. Seven real strategies. And not one of them requires you to be a tech wizard or marketing genius.
That’s what this conversation was all about. Showing how easy and practical AI can be when you know where to start. Whether you choose a LinkedIn makeover, a faceless YouTube channel, or your first paid training, the tools are available. The demand is real. And the opportunity is here.
Don’t wait for everything to be perfect. Choose one path and give it a try today. Let AI help you create something that grows, earns, and lasts.
