What does it contain?

  • AI side-hustle ideas across many categories:
    • Tech: building AI-powered tools, API aggregation, selling AI services, etc.
    • Self-media: AI-generated videos, image creation, copywriting, audio, live streaming.
    • More: AI-assisted publishing, selling data packs, AI consulting.
  • Guiding principles for starting a side hustle (e.g., focus on traffic, sell tools rather than taking risks, build assets).
  • Resource lists with links to related GitHub projects (e.g., indie hacker tools, AI prompt collections).
  • Two article series:
    • For startup founders (0–1 years): 31 articles on metrics, fundraising, legal structures, growth, etc.
    • For programmers: a "side-hustle treasure book" with specific chapters (e.g., building AI tools for subscription fees).

How to contribute?

Anyone can submit AI money-making cases (articles, websites, blogs, tweets) by opening an issue on GitHub. Both self-recommendations and recommendations of others are welcome.
