552: 10 AI-Powered Side Hustles You Can Start Today

AI (artificial intelligence) is one of the hottest topics of the year. And today, we’re going to explore some of the actionable ways that you can capitalize on this new technology to either start a new business or grow one that you’ve already got.

To help me talk through these is Matt Wolfe from FutureTools.io and the FutureTools YouTube channel. Matt’s a long-time friend who’s been doing a deep dive on this stuff for the past few months and I’m anxious to get caught up.

Last week, Matt shared some of his advanced affiliate marketing strategies that helped him earn over $900k from ONE affiliate product — if you missed it, be sure to check that one out as well, but that’s where I want to start this list.

551: $900k from Someone Else’s Product: Advanced Affiliate Marketing Strategies

Affiliate marketing is a great business. You:

• help people make decisions
• point them to the products that will help them
• earn a commission on those referrals

But most affiliate marketers — myself included in a lot of cases — don’t put as much effort as they could into their campaigns. And as a result, we cut ourselves short of the results we could have seen if they just went a little deeper.

Today’s guest is Matt Wolfe from FutureTools.io, and he’s going to break down what that looks like in practice and the specific tactics you can use to earn more commissions and better serve your audience.

Because the difference isn’t a 15% incremental improvement — it may be a 10x gain or more!

Tune in to the Side Hustle Show interview to hear how Matt:

• made almost $1 million dollars from one affiliate product
• promoted his affiliate link
• drives traffic today

545: $100k from a Part-Time Lead Generation Website

This week’s guest is a long-time Side Hustle Show listener who reached out with a unique side hustle: a part-time lead generation website.

Link Moser runs NHFineHomes.com, which features high-end, lakefront real estate listings in New Hampshire.

How it works is prospective buyers find the website, usually through Google, and when they reach out for more information, Link can either work with them himself as a real estate agent or pass along the lead to one of his referral partners in exchange for a percentage of the agent’s commission if and when the lead eventually buys a house.

Tune in to the Side Hustle Show interview to hear:

• how Link started his side hustle
• his lead generation strategies for real estate
• his advice for people looking to replicate his success
