Here are 15 vetted ideas. (the final 2 are approved by billionaires): 15. White-label AI chatbots for local businesses - build once, reskin, charge $300-1K/month per client. 14. AI sales outreach - personalized cold email and DMs at scale (the edge is offering it as a done-for-you service rather than selling software). 13. AI content repurposing - one long-form video into 30 pieces of content (automate the entire distribution/uploading cadence for creators/brands). 12. AI tutoring service - charges parents $200-500/month for personalized AI-powered tutoring for their kids. You set up the system, customize it per student, and manage the parent relationship. AI does the teaching. 11. AI bookkeeping and accounting - not just software, a full service (people will pay for peace of mind vs maintaining data entry/infra themselves). 10. AI app and website building as a service - charge clients $3-10K, vibe code the whole thing in a day (requires expertise - businesses will pay for convenience). 9. AI course creation - build and sell educational content with AI doing the production (you can approach other creators to sell it if you don't have your own distro). 8. AI personal brand building - build someone's entire online presence using AI. Ghostwrite their tweets, LinkedIn posts, newsletters, and website copy. Charge $2-5K/month. 7. AI lead generation (recruiting, affiliates) - scrape, qualify, and enrich leads for sales teams. Charge per qualified lead or monthly retainer. 6. AI voice agents that answer phones, book appointments, and handle support 24/7. 5. Build custom AI agents for businesses on OpenClaw - charge monthly per agent. 4. Local business AI setup - charge $2-5K to automate emails, bookings, and support. 3. AI-native agencies - sell the finished deliverable at 100x margin instead of billing hours (low barrier to entry). 2. AI media and distribution - one person producing the content volume of a 10-person team. Own the audience now, monetise everything later. 1. AI consulting - companies are desperate and will pay $5-20K/month for someone to tell them what to do with AI. The easiest, highest-margin entry point that exists right now.
