    How I'd Make $100/Day From Zombie Apocalypse Videos

    Viral TikTok videos are getting millions of views, but how do you actually monetize TikTok videos without relying on creator payouts? The zombie apocalypse trend is a perfect example of an opportunity most creators are overlooking. The templates, the exact AI prompts, and short step-by-step courses, first week free, then $7 a month, cancel in two clicks: https://library.platformproof.com/ Free notes and worksheets for every video I make: https://notes.platformproof.com/ Watch next: I Found a $100 a Day AI Side Hustle: https://youtu.be/i6FAOmyZdrI You've probably seen those AI-generated videos about surviving 365 days in Walmart, a hospital, or a gas station during a zombie apocalypse. Some are getting incredible engagement. But views alone don't necessarily translate into meaningful income. In this video, I'm breaking down exactly how I'd take that same viral trend and build a simple business around it, with the potential to generate $100 to $150 per day. The strategy starts with understanding why people are watching. Then I'll show you how to use AI tools like Claude to create a digital product that addresses an actual problem, build a simple sales page, and start selling it for as little as $9. But the digital product is only the beginning. I'll also explain how to add affiliate marketing commissions and eventually create a course, turning one viral content idea into three potential income streams. This isn't just a theory. I've used a similar approach with my own YouTube channel, helping people prepare for harsh northern winters. The niche is different, but the underlying business model is the same. And here's the important part: You don't need to make zombie apocalypse videos. You can apply this process to almost any niche where people have problems they're willing to pay to solve. Watch until the end to understand how all three revenue streams work together.

    I Tested 7 Ways To Sell Digital Products: Here’s What Actually Works

    Want to know how to sell digital products in 2027 without wasting months on strategies that don't work? I've generated over $176,000 selling digital products, and I'm ranking 7 methods from worst to best based on my actual experience. Watch next: If I Had To Start Selling Digital Products on YouTube in 2027: https://youtu.be/qKGd1GCs0Lg Free notes and worksheets for every video I make: https://notes.platformproof.com/ Building something around a full-time job? The Platform Proof Library has the template, the prompt, and the script already written, so the hour you’ve got goes into making the thing, not deciding what to make. First week free, then $7 a month, cancel in two clicks: https://library.platformproof.com/ Some methods cost me money. Others took hours of work before producing results. And a few continue helping me generate sales even when I'm not actively working. In this video, I break down the pros and cons of seven ways to sell digital products online, including Gumroad, live workshops, Facebook ads, Facebook groups, TikTok, email marketing, and YouTube. You'll discover which platforms already have potential customers, which require you to generate your own traffic, and why choosing the wrong marketing strategy can make selling digital products much harder than necessary. I'll also share how I used Facebook ads to sell a digital product inspired by a real problem my family experienced, why I used to run live workshops every Thursday, and how I turned Facebook groups into an opportunity to attract potential buyers without constantly pitching. But here's something most online business gurus don't tell you: building a successful digital product business takes time. People often quit right before their efforts have a chance to pay off. That's especially true with my number one recommended method, which allows content you create today to potentially attract customers years from now. If you're a beginner trying to figure out how to sell digital products in 2027, this breakdown will help you choose a realistic starting point based on your budget, available time, and willingness to create content.

    Should I Try It: 11 Claude AI Side Hustles You Can Do At Night

    Are Claude AI side hustles really a practical way to make money after work, or are they just another way to create a second job? I reviewed 11 Claude-powered business ideas to find out what actually makes sense. Watch next: https://youtu.be/JLWfXb7bZJw Free notes and worksheets for every video I make: https://notes.platformproof.com Building something around a full-time job? The Platform Proof Library has the template, the prompt, and the script already written, so the hour you’ve got goes into making the thing, not deciding what to make. First week free, then $7 a month, cancel in two clicks: https://library.platformproof.com/ In this video, I'm breaking down a popular video covering 11 AI side hustles you can supposedly start at night, including AI agencies, ghostwriting, UGC creation, Meta ads, newsletters, and content clipping. Some of these ideas have real potential. But there's a major problem that most side hustle videos overlook: creating the service is often the easy part. Finding customers, closing deals, managing clients, and keeping them happy is where things get difficult. I'll explain what the original creator gets right, where I disagree, and why running an AI agency might not be the best option if you're already working 40 hours a week. We'll also discuss the risks of AI-generated testimonials, why competing on price can destroy your profits, and what happens when customers realize they can use the same AI tools themselves. More importantly, I'll share my alternative: a simple four-night plan for using Claude AI to turn knowledge you already have into a digital product. Instead of chasing clients, you'll learn how to identify a problem, create a useful solution, launch an affordable product, and attract potential customers through content. This isn't about getting rich overnight. It's about building something that fits around your existing schedule. 💬 YOUR TURN: Which of these 11 Claude AI side hustles should I actually test?

    You Have 5 Years Before AI Takes Over. Here’s What I’d Build First

In this video, I'm breaking down what Mark Tilbury gets right about artificial intelligence, job automation, and the future of making money. More importantly, I'm sharing the five practical steps I'd take to build an online business using AI without quitting my day job.

After years of making money online, I've learned that having a realistic goal and building something you own beats chasing the latest opportunity. Here's what we'll cover: What Mark Tilbury gets right and wrong about AI replacing jobs Why early movers have an advantage How to identify digital product ideas from everyday questions How to create and improve a $9 product using AI Why building an email list matters for long-term income How to create content that attracts potential customers Follow Me On All Socials TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@alston.godbolt Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alston-godbol/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alstongodbolt/ Twitter: https://x.com/godbolt5234 Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/OnlineMarketingFansOf/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61564365647886 Blog: https://alstongodbolt.com/ Tools of the trade: TubeBuddy: The YouTube Advantage: https://www.Tubebuddy.com/agodbolt Camera: https://amzn.to/3W3IvkY Wireless Micophone: https://amzn.to/3L8nnHL Main Light: https://amzn.to/47oumoM Light Stand: https://amzn.to/42Ez0wb Softbox: https://amzn.to/4h8yJaR Backlight: https://amzn.to/4nYBjCT Map: https://amzn.to/4q2VTmZ

    If I Had To Start Selling Digital Products on TikTok With AI in 2027, I’d Do This

    Want to learn how to sell digital products on TikTok, even if you have zero followers? One creator had over 127,000 followers, tried selling a $10 digital product, and made less than $30. Here's what went wrong and what I'd do differently. The YouTube version of this method: https://youtu.be/qKGd1GCs0Lg The exact prompts from this video (comment scraping, talk-to-product): https://notes.platformproof.com/ Don’t know your one question? The Finder is a 2-minute quiz that hands you your product AND the buyer already looking for it ($17, once): https://finder.platformproof.com/ In this video, I'm breaking down my step-by-step strategy for selling digital products on TikTok using AI, simple content marketing, and a $9 offer. You don't need a huge audience, expensive software, or months of experience to get started. I'll show you how to find profitable digital product ideas by analyzing questions people are already asking in TikTok comments, DMs, and everyday conversations. Then we'll cover how to use AI tools like Claude to turn your knowledge into a beginner-friendly digital product without spending weeks creating it. You'll also learn why I recommend starting at $9, how to build a simple sales page using tools like Gumroad, and how to create TikTok videos that sell without sounding like advertisements. One of the most important lessons is that people don't necessarily buy because you have thousands of followers. They buy because you understand their problems and can offer a useful solution. I'll also explain my Hook-Story-Offer framework, how to test multiple hooks for the same product, and what to do if you haven't reached TikTok's follower requirement for a website link.

    If I Had To Start Selling Digital Products on YouTube in 2027, I’d Do This

    Want to start selling digital products on YouTube in 2027, but don't know what to create or how to find customers? In this video, I'm breaking down my simple 5-step One Question Method, based on the strategy I've used to generate over $176,000 selling digital products through YouTube. Watch this video next: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXPJedbe9x4 Free notes and worksheets for every video I make: https://notes.platformproof.com/ Don’t know your one question? The Finder is a 2-minute quiz that hands you your product AND the buyer already looking for it ($17, once): https://finder.platformproof.com/ You don't need thousands of subscribers, a viral video, or a complicated business to get started. You need one specific problem people are already trying to solve and a product that helps them solve it. I'll show you how to identify profitable questions based on your existing knowledge, use AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude to organize that knowledge into a digital product, and create a simple sales page that turns interested viewers into potential customers. We'll also cover why I recommend starting with a $9 digital product, how to research YouTube search suggestions to discover what people want, and how to build a library of helpful videos that can attract buyers long after they're published. One of the biggest mistakes beginners make is spending months creating a product before finding out whether anyone wants it. My approach focuses on getting your first customers, collecting feedback, and improving as you go. And here's something important: I don't believe you need to go viral to build a profitable digital product business. Even videos with modest view counts can create opportunities when they're reaching the right people.

    Should I Try It: 10 Ways to Make Money (with AI)

    Are AI side hustles really as easy as everyone claims? After watching Sabrina Romanoff rank 10 ways to make money with AI, I realized there's one major problem with her list. Her video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fgutvd4-F_0 Yesterday’s episode (the $300/day Google hack): https://youtu.be/HefNDooOWGA Free notes and worksheets for every video I make: https://notes.platformproof.com/ Not sure what YOU’D sell? The Finder is a 2-minute quiz that hands you your product AND the buyer already looking for it ($17, once): https://finder.platformproof.com/ She's ranking opportunities based on how easy they are for beginners to start. But what about actually owning the business you're building? In this video, I react to Sabrina's AI side hustle rankings and explain where I agree, where I disagree, and which opportunities I believe are worth pursuing. We look at AI coaching, business training, content creation, faceless YouTube channels, AI marketing agencies, automation agencies, paid communities, vibe coding, and digital products. I've personally tried many of these business models, including running a web design agency, hosting paid workshops, creating content, and selling digital products. And those experiences changed how I evaluate online business opportunities. For example, I used to spend my lunch breaks calling local businesses trying to land website clients. I've also sold a digital product using Facebook ads without having an existing audience or thousands of followers. That's why I strongly disagree with digital products being ranked in the C tier. You don't necessarily need a massive following to make money with AI or sell digital products. You need to identify a specific problem, create something valuable, and find a way to reach the people who need it. I'll also explain why I'm cautious about AI agencies, faceless channels, and paid communities, especially if you're working a full-time job. QUESTION: Which of these 10 AI side hustles should I personally test next? Leave your answer in the comments. I'll use your suggestions to help choose a business model to put to the test.

    I Tried It: The 5-Minute Google Hack To Make Money Online (How To Make Money Online 2026)

    Can you really make money with an AI side hustle using a simple 5-minute Google hack? One creator claims you can find local businesses and charge $300–$500 per month for AI services. But is it really that easy? Free notes and worksheets for every video I make: https://notes.platformproof.com/ Not sure what YOU’D sell? The Finder is a 2-minute quiz that hands you your product AND the buyer already looking for it ($17, once): https://finder.platformproof.com/ In this episode of I Tried It, I'm breaking down how this Google side hustle works, the pros and cons, and what most people don't realize before getting started. I've actually done a version of this business model before. Years ago, I found local businesses, contacted them through phone calls and postcards, and offered WordPress website services with recurring monthly payments. So I know firsthand what it's like to find clients, close deals, and keep them happy. We'll look at how the AI agency model works, why recurring revenue is attractive, and how tools like GoHighLevel can help businesses generate leads. But we'll also discuss the challenges that rarely make it into side hustle videos. Finding clients isn't always easy. Setting up software takes time. And even after landing customers, you're responsible for keeping them satisfied month after month. I'll also share what I'd do instead: create helpful content, attract potential customers, build an email list, and monetize through digital products or services. This approach gives you an opportunity to build something that doesn't depend entirely on cold calling or constantly chasing new clients. If you're researching AI side hustle ideas or looking for realistic ways to make money online in 2026, this video will help you decide whether this business model is right for you.
