If you still think that AI is only for content creation, then you will lose the big opportunity because it is a goldmine for making money. I will share with you my current strategy for making $10,000+ per month with AI-powered side hustles.

1. AI-Powered Blogging & Affiliate Marketing ($4,500/month)

2. Generate blog content
3. Optimize with SEO tools like SurferSEO or Rank Math.

No more hard work. Previously, I needed to search the topics for a whole month.
