How I Made My First $100 Online with AI (Step-by-Step)
Your first $100 isn’t about luck — it’s about a simple, focused system. Below is the exact path I used, with AI doing the heavy lifting and me adding the human edge.
Step #1 Choose a tiny, painful problem
Money follows problems. I listed 10 small pains my audience has (e.g., “no time to create posts”, “no idea what to sell”). I picked one.
Step #2 Create a tiny offer (deliver fast)
I built a quick, useful digital asset: prompts, templates, and a 10-minute screen recording. No big course, just one outcome.
Step #3 Use AI to produce assets 10× faster
ChatGPT for scripts, Canva for design, and a simple recorder for the walkthrough. I kept it raw but clear — people pay for clarity.
- ChatGPT → outline, bullet points, FAQs
- Canva → cover + simple PDF/slide
- Recorder (Loom/Screen) → 1 take, no edits
Step #4 Simple checkout, simple page
I made a one-screen page: headline → bullets → testimonials placeholder → “Buy now”. No distractions, no long story.
Step #5 One traffic source, daily
I picked short-form video (TikTok/IG/Shorts). Every day: 1 hook → 3 bullets → CTA “link in bio”. After 7–10 posts, clicks started.
Numbers that moved the needle
- Offer price: $9 → first 12 buyers covered my time
- Page changes: headline tweak + 3 bullets = higher CTR
- Content cadence: 3 posts/week → consistent clicks → sales
Pro tip: Track 3 metrics weekly: views → clicks → purchases. Fix the weakest link first.
