These 5 Ways to Use AI Will Make You $1M (With Zero Code)

Here are five genius ways to make money with AI, as presented by Dan Martell, founder of Martell Ventures. Martell Ventures is a portfolio of AI companies aiming for a billion-dollar valuation in under three years, launching and scaling a new AI company monthly. The core message is that AI has advanced to a point where expertise is not a prerequisite for significant financial gain.

Key Concepts

• Personalized GPT Ecosystem: Setting up custom AI solutions for businesses.
• Content Multiplying: Repurposing existing long-form content into short-form formats.
• AI Website Studio: Building websites using AI tools without coding.
• AI Workshop Builder: Packaging expertise into AI-generated workshops.
• Hidden Network Finder: Leveraging AI to identify valuable connections within one's existing network.
• System Prompt: The intellectual property of the future, defining AI behavior.
• PSL Framework: Point, Story, Lesson – a content creation structure.
• MAT Structure: A framework for adult learning in workshops.
• Social Suite: A tool for analyzing and leveraging personal networks.

1. Personalized GPT Ecosystem

This method targets business owners confused by AI terminology like custom GPTs, system prompts, and master prompts. The opportunity lies in offering setup and management services for these AI tools.

Process:

1. Intake Form: Collect detailed customer information including preferences, workflows, desired tone, and goals. This context is crucial for setup.
2. Build Key Pieces:
   • Master Prompt: For various life contexts.
   • System Prompts: For specific output generation.
   • Custom GPTs: Developed from system prompts.
   • Project Folders: Organize AI outputs.
   • Context Updates: Teach clients how to update project context.
3. SOP/Playbook Creation: Load created documents into ChatGPT and ask it to write a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) or playbook detailing how the client should use the AI tools (projects, custom GPTs, custom instructions, master prompts, system prompts).
4. Setup and Labeling: Access the client's ChatGPT account and set up everything clearly, ensuring easy navigation and understanding of projects and custom GPTs.
5. Maintenance Fee: Charge a monthly subscription for updates and support, especially given frequent AI platform updates (e.g., ChatGPT updates every two months). This applies to platforms like Gemini and Claude as well.

Argument: The intellectual property of the future is the system prompt. Businesses will pay a premium for high-quality system prompts that increase their business value.

2. Content Multiplying

This strategy involves repurposing long-form content created by businesses into short-form content for various platforms to generate leads.

Process:

1. Identify Clients: Target companies with a substantial portfolio of existing long-form content and a lack of short-form presence on platforms like TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram. AI can assist in finding such companies.
2. Select Top Content: Choose the client's best-performing long-form content (highest views, engagement).
3. Transcribe Content: Obtain a transcript of the selected content.
4. Extract Impactful Sections: Use ChatGPT or other AI to identify and extract the most impactful segments from the transcript.
5. Format for Platforms: Reformat these segments into various short-form content types such as clips, carousels, and tweets.
6. PSL Framework Application: For long-form content, ask ChatGPT to package it into the PSL (Point, Story, Lesson) framework. This framework is highly effective for social media.

Argument: Repurposing well-performing content eliminates the need to "reinvent the wheel" and ensures higher engagement.

3. AI Website Studio

This method focuses on building visually appealing websites without any coding knowledge, leveraging AI-powered design tools.

Process:

1. Intake Form Creation: Use ChatGPT to create an intake form for clients to gather brand details, goals, copy, and tonality.
2. Prompt Generation: Use the collected information to generate prompts in ChatGPT for website creation in tools like Lovable or Framer.
3. AI Website Generation: Utilize Lovable or Framer to automatically generate the website based on the prompts.
4. Refinement: Make minor adjustments and polish the website for final details.
5. Client Feedback Loop: Have clients provide feedback via a form. This information is used to update the website in Lovable, and the updated link is sent back to the client. This process can iterate up to three times.

Example: Martell's company, Hero Hire, used Lovable with an intern to build its entire website in under 4 hours with no coding.

Pro Tip: Charge a monthly fee for website maintenance, upkeep, tweaks, and creating landing pages or email automation (which can also be AI-generated).

Argument: This approach automates website creation, making it accessible and efficient for businesses and individuals.

4. AI Workshop Builder

This method allows individuals to monetize their knowledge by packaging it into AI-generated workshops.

Process:

1. AI Interview: Ask ChatGPT to interview you as if it were a beginner in your area of expertise. This helps identify key questions and learning points.
2. Workshop Structure: Use the generated questions and answers to have ChatGPT build a step-by-step workshop, including lesson outlines and modules.
3. Content Production: Have AI write every lesson, outline, and module, eliminating the need for manual content creation. AI can also suggest relevant exercises and examples.
4. Recording: Record yourself delivering the workshop content, following the AI-generated slides. This recorded content becomes the final product.

Argument: You don't need to be a certified expert; being a guide who has achieved a result and can teach others how to achieve it is sufficient. AI empowers you to become the best guide.

Pro Tip: Use the MAT (Motivation, Acquisition, Transfer) structure, based on adult learning theory, to break down information for easier learning.

5. Hidden Network Finder

This strategy uses AI to analyze your existing network (followers on social media, email contacts) to uncover hidden opportunities for partnerships, clients, or media engagements.

Process:

1. Account Connection: Create a Social Suite AI account and connect your social media and email accounts (Instagram, X, LinkedIn, email, etc.).
2. Data Enrichment: Social Suite enriches your contacts with public data and performs AI analysis to identify details like current job positions and locations. It can even update location data from Instagram photos.
3. Querying the AI: Ask specific questions, such as "Who do I know that has a podcast that shoots in Austin in person?"
4. Dynamic Outreach Snippets: Once a list of contacts is generated, ask the AI to dynamically write outreach snippets tailored to your relationship with the contact and the platform you are using (e.g., Instagram, email).

Example: The tool can help find potential clients, strategic partners, suppliers, or even individuals within companies who can solve specific problems. Martell uses Social Suite to find media interview opportunities, podcast tours, and partnerships.

Conclusion

The overarching message is that AI democratizes opportunities for making money. The key is to pick one of these five methods and focus on mastering it. Martell emphasizes that having the aspiration to achieve something big with AI is a sign that it is possible, and dedication ("going all-in") is crucial for success. He reiterates the value of his AI company operating system for those who want to integrate AI into their businesses efficiently.
