🚀 How to Build & Monetize Your AI Agent Side Hustle
Step 1: Pick a Niche Use Case
Ask yourself:
- What tasks do your clients repeat over and over?

- What do YOU find annoying and would pay to automate?
Popular use cases:
- Lead routing
- Cold email writing
- Client onboarding
- Weekly content calendars
- Brand voice generation
- Knowledgebase bots
Step 2: Build Your MVP with n8n or Zapier
- Start with a simple prompt + input → output flow
- Connect GPT or Gemini to a form, email, or Google Sheet
- Add automation logic: if-then, scheduling, filtering
- No UI? Use Notion or a simple Webflow form
💡 Bonus: Record a Loom video to explain your tool. This builds trust fast.
Step 3: Sell It as a Service or Product
Options:
- Productized service: “I’ll build your lead-scoring bot for $599”
- Micro SaaS: Charge a monthly fee for usage
- Digital product: Sell Notion + GPT workflows as a downloadable pack
- Consulting + setup: One-time fee + recurring support
