Now, the potential downside of this idea is that it is going to be a lot of work. You still need to pitch, manage clients
1:33 expectations, and learn fast if you want to keep your clients happy. However, social media management clients typically pay anywhere from $1,500 to $5,000 monthly for this kind of thing. and that can really stack up quickly and it honestly wouldn't take that long before you can get AI to automate a huge part of the process.

I'm going to open a platform right now and share some with you just to show you how doable it is. Literally right now, social media strategist for a,000 a month. You got $50 an hour for a video content being a Tik Tok creator, 300 bucks for a video. There's so many projects. Literally,
2:18 people are looking for this constantly. And every time I check platforms, there's so many more gigs. And so, if you just keep getting these clients and you keep stacking it up, it can be a really great way to make money. If you're into teaching more than doing, then this next one is for you. Many students or adults learning a new subject need a little extra help and support. I mean, honestly, don't we all? So you can come in and help them by offering your skills as an online tutor and getting hired through mobile apps. This way you can use any skill or knowledge you have to earn some money. There are a lot of people looking for tutoring currently. Some apps that you can get hired to tutor on are Prelytutor.com, Varsity Tutors, and italki. You can get paid to take calls and teach people on any subject. The downside is that these apps will take a commission from what
3:04 you earn. But the upside is that they're going to help you get clients and you can set your own hours and work from anywhere in the world. Content creation is a really great way to make money because brands need assets to post on their social channels, use for ads and their websites. You can create UGC content and edit it all on your phone. You could even create faceless content because that is also a need right now. And in the same vein, you can start and run your social media channels and then get paid to do brand deals all from your phone. At first, I wasn't sure if my phone content would honestly be good enough for clients, but to be real with you, I now film the majority of my content with my phone, and I just edit it on Cap Cut. You can also use InShot or Templify for video editing, and your phone content is going to look so good.
3:50 Some clients can't even tell the difference between a phone and a camera, which is crazy. The potential downside is that gigs can be sporadic and unpredictable at first, but the big upside to this is that you have a lot of flexibility in your schedule and creative freedom. Building an e-commerce store used to feel so overwhelming, but now AI is really making the process of building an e-commerce business a lot easier. You can literally build out a whole business right on your iPhone. Use Deepseek to see what products are trending and to build out your copywriting. Then use Sprocket or AliExpress to find winning drop shipping products. Or you can just sell a product that you made. Then use Shopify mobile app to build out your website and manage your online store. And to spice things up on your site, you can use Midjourney or Adobe for some fun graphics. The
4:35 potential downsides for this one is that you will have to market your store through social media or other outlets and potentially deal with fulfillment. I would highly recommend going with a supplier who handles shipping and fulfillment for you. This way, you don't have to handle shipping out products yourself. You're likely already recommending products to your friends, so why not get paid for it? Affiliate marketing is basically where you promote other people's products for a commission. This can be a really good way to make money, especially if you're good at getting behind a product and pushing it. And if you're a natural seller or you're just somebody who likes to share the products you love with your friends, if that's you, this would be a perfect opportunity for you to make some money on your phone. So, a really great way to get started with this is to use chat to boutique to find different affiliate marketing programs or you can
5:22 search specific programs on your favorite websites. And if you really have brands in mind, honestly, just reach out to them and ask if you can get on their affiliate program if it's not on their website. Sometimes it's called an ambassador program as well. So, look out for those. If you're going to be doing affiliate marketing, I would highly recommend signing up as a creator on Tik Tok shop or using social media to push your links. Lastly, you could create a website on Shopify with a ton of affiliate discounts, kind of like a hub for people to enjoy access to the products that they love at a discounted rate. You want to do this in a specific niche though, so that you stand out. The Shopify mobile app would honestly be a really great way to do this. So, if you guys want to learn more about affiliate marketing, you can check out this video right here. These are just a few of the affiliate programs that you can get on, and there are way more. There are new
6:08 businesses all over the world desperate for help, but they can't always hire people full-time. So, you can offer freelance services that you can do all from your phone. Honestly, anything. I've done a bunch of different freelancing gigs using my phone alone. It's kind of crazy all the different services that you can offer from coaching to consulting to content creation to graphic design, social media management, or even customer service. You can literally run everything on your phone and most people are not going to be able to tell. My friend used to take random calls throughout the day, and I was so confused what they were about, but it turned out that she was doing freelance customer service, which I had no idea was even a thing. There was something out there for everybody. You will need to find your own clients, but there are endless platforms where you can sell your services to people looking for them. Some good ones to use are
6:55 Fiverr, Contra, Work, and Toptol. But you can just get ChattyPT to recommend something in your niche and then upload your portfolio. A good portfolio or bio is a non-negotiable for this. Remember how I mentioned that you can build a website on your phone using the Shopify mobile app. Well, almost every business needs a website. And you can create and sell custom websites to clients all from your phone. Honestly, whenever I think about building out a website, I kind of think that it has to be done on a desktop. So, it's kind of crazy that you can do it right on your phone and your clients aren't really even going to see the difference. If you guys want to find opportunities for this, I would recommend going to the freelance platforms that I mentioned earlier.

7:41 yourself. There are AI tools that can create content for you. So, there's Invido AI that autogenerates videos from text scripts. LTX Studio that builds cinematic scenes using storyboarding, Sora AI, which turns prompts into realistic short films, and Whisk Animate that makes gorgeous animated video content. Definitely play around with these platforms and see what you can make. Each of these platforms can generate a whole YouTube video for you just with a text prompt on your phone. So, if you want to learn more about how to create AI generated videos, check out our video prompt engineering tutorial right here. The downside is that you have to post quite a bit until you can get paid. So, what I would recommend is posting a bunch while keeping your full-time job. Use a very specific niche to solve a very specific problem for a niche group of people. And then once it
8:27 blows up, you can apply for monetization and actually start making some money in your bank account. Next, if you want flexible side hustles, there are a lot of different apps that can help you make money. For example, there is survey junkies to get paid for surveys. WG for petsitting, repocket for sharing your internet, which is crazy. You can get paid to do that. Cashback apps like Pogo, Fetch, or Recruitin. So, basically, you get rewards, points, or cash back when you buy eligible items. These are great because you're likely spending money anyways, so it's great to make money while you spend money. You can sell things on eBay or Facebook Marketplace. You can even get paid to review books on the online book club. I actually used to make around $200 a day flipping free furniture on Facebook Marketplace. People just wanted stuff gone, so I'd grab it, resell it, and make money. And I didn't even have a
9:13 truck or muscles, so I don't know how I did that, but I would just carry furniture around from place to place. But highly recommend if you need a little extra cash. Guys, look at all this free furniture you can flip on Marketplace and sell for a profit. You don't even need to do anything to it. You just take cute photos and people are going to spend their money on it. Most people don't get clients because they rely on luck. They wait for referrals or they send a few messages and give up when they don't hear back. If you want to make money online, you're going to have to reach out to people or attract clients through consistent action. There is no way around that. But there are tons of platforms out there to help you make money. Just ask Chat to PT which ones are best for you based on what you want to do. And then put your best work out there and pitch yourself daily. Some businesses and agencies will actually subcontract you if they like your work. This is a really great way to start
9:59 getting gigs. So connect with potential agencies and clients on LinkedIn daily. And when you reach out, please don't just pitch out of nowhere. Say something real. Show that you care about what they're doing. People buy from other people that they trust, and that first impression matters a lot. Now, go out there and try a few of these money-making methods. You can definitely make a good income by combining a few of these streams together. Now, you might make money right away, or it might take you months, and that is okay. You are learning. What matters is building your foundation. So, your portfolio, your online presence, and your proof of work so that people trust you and feel good vibes from you. Right now is a really wild opportunity to make money from anywhere using just your phone and some AI tools. You don't need fancy gear. You don't need to wait. You already have
10:45 what you need and people out there are looking for exactly what you have to offer. I'm Chris Shalukina with Learn Shopify and I had a ton of fun making this video for you guys.
