How Your Smartphone Can Help You Make $500 a Day

You probably have a smartphone at your disposal or you wouldn't even be watching this video that same smartphone that you're using to watch this video right now can make you up to 500 per day if you actually know what you're doing. In the next video, I'm going to be going through 10 side hustles that you can do right from your smartphone to make money online. I'm also going to be ranking these side hustles by how easy they are to start, if you need any investment or if you can just start them for free, how passive they are, and how much money you can make with each one of them.

Side Hustle 1: Running Faceless YouTube Channels

The first side hustle on this list is going to be running faceless YouTube channels. This is also known as YouTube automation. Running a YouTube channel from your smartphone is not only possible but it's becoming increasingly easier every single day as new AI tools come out to the market. You cannot just do it from your phone, but you also don't have to show your face or even use your voice anymore.

To be able to do the side hustle from your phone, the first thing that you need to do is choose a profitable niche, and I have an entire video here on my channel that you can watch for completely free by clicking the card up here right now. On that video, I went through all of the profitable niches on YouTube and also the monetization opportunities that each niche has.

It's as simple as going to ChatGPT, generating some video ideas. After you have the video ideas, just create the video script using ChatGPT, which you can do for completely free by the way. Then just take that script to something like 11 Labs if you don't want to use your voice. Bear in mind that if you want to do a voiceover, you can also do that and you're going to have better results. But if you want to go for a software like 11 Labs, they have very human-like voices that you can use for completely free up to 5000 words.

If you're wondering to yourself what an AI voiceover sounds like, check this out. This is an example of what a voiceover from 11 Labs sounds like. You almost can't tell that it's an AI. There you go. You've probably heard this voice around the internet many, many times. This is exactly where it comes from, this is from a software called 11 Labs. And they don't just have this voice, there's tons of voices that you can choose from. You can even clone your own voice and use it in the software. And if you've heard this voice around the internet, then it just goes to show how many people are already using this to be able to make money online.

Creating the Video: Getting Footage and Editing

Once you have your voice over, obviously you're going to need some type of footage to put on your video. This is also called a b-roll. The best places for you to get that, if you want to start for free, you can get that from pixabay.com, which is a completely free copyright-free website that you can download music, images, videos, and all sorts of things. If you want to pay a membership to get higher quality footage, then you can use something like Shutterstock or Artlist. All three websites will give you very high-quality footage, and pixabay is getting better by the day and it's completely free for anyone to use.

Once you have all of those, you need to put your video together. If you want to do that for free using just your phone, use a software called CapCut. CapCut is one of the best software that you can use to edit any videos. Even on the computer, sometimes I have Premiere Pro, and I use CapCut to be able to add some captions or there are certain effects that CapCut has that it's very hard to do on Premiere Pro. They already have templates that you can just drag and drop onto your videos, and it just makes life so much easier.

Personal Example of a Successful Faceless YouTube Channel

Now, if you're wondering if I do that myself, the answer is yes, of course, I do that myself, and even my girlfriend is doing it now. I'm teaching her how to do YouTube, and we've recently, I think it was a month or two ago, started a brand new channel, a faceless brand new channel for her. I want to show you that right now.

As you can see on your screen right now, she started a completely faceless YouTube channel using 11 Labs as a voiceover, and she started posting one month ago. As you can see here on your screen, the first video was posted a month ago, and up to this day, she's getting thousands of views on her videos. Her channel is completely new and she grew from 0 to 2800 subscribers in one month.

Bear in mind that this is the first time I've ever mentioned this channel here on my channel. I've never promoted it anywhere because I believe that it's not really good for your channel. I don't believe in promoting channels, as you can see this video here that she posted two days ago has almost 3,000 views for a channel with 2,800 subscribers. This is a great accomplishment, right?

Let me put one of her videos through so you guys can see what it looks like. She's using an avatar of herself, and she used a software called DID to create this avatar. She just puts her avatar, animates it, and it says whatever she wants it to say. Then she uses b-roll footage on her video with some type of captions on the screens. You can see her video now has almost 3,000 views, posted two days ago.

Can Faceless Channels Be Monetized?

I can see a lot of people commenting on my videos that these channels cannot be monetized. This couldn't be further from the truth. It can be monetized. The content that you're posting on the channel just has to be original content, and it cannot go against the YouTube guidelines. They have nothing, absolutely nothing, on their guidelines that say that you cannot create a faceless YouTube channel with an AI voiceover.

I also have other channels that I run completely faceless, and I'm building kind of an empire of YouTube channels. I put virtual assistants to run them for me, and the way that I ensure that all my channels get run the same way with the same quality, get viral videos, and get good topics is by creating what is called an SOP (Standard Operating Procedure). I create some videos specifically teaching people how I do things, and then anyone will be able to do the same because they're watching a video of me doing it step by step.

Difficulty, Passiveness, and Earning Potential

The difficulty for this side hustle is around 4 or 3 out of 10. Passiveness for this side hustle really depends on how you're doing it. I would say 6 out of 10 if you're doing it yourself, and if you're outsourcing it, obviously it's going to be a 10 out of 10. It can be done for completely free if you don't want to spend any money. If you want to do it yourself, it can be done for free. You can find all of these things on the internet for free. If you feel like you want to ramp up the quality, you can also spend a lot of money and have the highest quality videos possible.

The potential for revenue using a YouTube channel, a faceless automated YouTube channel, is literally from hundreds of dollars a month to millions of dollars every single month. It really depends on how many channels you have, how many videos you post, what niche you're operating in, how much effort you're putting into it, but the earning potential for YouTube channels is literally limitless.

You probably have a smartphone at your disposal, or you wouldn't even be watching this video. That same smartphone that you're using to watch this video right now can make you up to $500 per day if you actually know what you're doing. In the next video, I'm going to be going through 10 side hustles that you can do right from your smartphone to make money online. I'm also going to be ranking these side hustles by how easy they are to start, if you need any investment, or if you can just start them for free, how passive they are, and how much money you can make with each one of them.

1. Faceless YouTube Channels

The first side hustle on this list is going to be running faceless YouTube channels. This is also known as YouTube automation. Running a YouTube channel from your smartphone is not only possible, but it's becoming increasingly easier every single day as new AI tools come out to the market. You can not just do it from your phone, but you also don't have to show your face or even use your voice anymore. To be able to do the side hustle from your phone, the first thing that you need to do is choose a profitable niche. I have an entire video here on my channel that you can watch for completely free by clicking the card up here right now. On that video, I went through all of the profitable niches on YouTube and also the monetization opportunities that each niche has.

2. Food Delivery Services (e.g., DoorDash, UberEats)

The second side hustle on this list is going to be DoorDash, UberEats, Postmates, or basically any food delivery app. Now, the downside to starting this specific side hustle is you're going to need some type of vehicle, either a bike, scooter, or a car. But if you've been following my channel for a long period of time, then you know that in the UK, a few years ago, I used to do food delivery for a while, and I used to use an app called Deliveroo. This side hustle was actually really good for me because not only didn’t I have a boss sniffing on my neck telling me what to do and what time I had to work or not, I had the freedom to study, watch courses on my phone while I was working, and I could also listen to music or do something productive with my time while I was doing a side hustle. I was able to make anywhere from 150 to 300 pounds every single day, which adds up to almost $5,500.

3. Instagram Theme Pages

The third side hustle on this list is going to be Instagram theme pages. This guy you're seeing on my screen right now, Nicholas Peed, has an Instagram account called Money Focus. As you can see, he has 1.1 million followers, and he is making $30,000 per month with his Instagram account. The way to start this side hustle is to choose a niche that you want to focus on. In his case, he's focusing on the entrepreneur niche, and by doing that, you can focus on creating products, e-commerce, or affiliate marketing to some products that apply to this niche and promote them on your theme page.

4. Digital Products

The fourth side hustle is digital products. Digital products are something that I've been keen on my entire life. I've always sold digital products, and I have my online university. By having a digital product, you only create that product once, and you can sell it to millions, potentially billions, of people. If you have a phone and know how to do something—let's say you're a professional gutter cleaner, and you want to teach people how to do the same—you can record a course using your smartphone and then use platforms like Coursera, Udemy, or even Kajabi to put your course up for sale.

5. Affiliate Marketing

The fifth side hustle is affiliate marketing. I'm very big on affiliate marketing, and I'm coming out with an affiliate marketing course. If you know anything about the world today, most products or companies have affiliate programs. One of the reasons why Andrew Tate was able to blow up so fast on the internet is that he created a very successful affiliate marketing program using the affiliate marketing business model. There are people making millions of dollars every single month, and I've shown proof of that on this channel before. Basically, what you need to do if you want to become an affiliate marketer for someone else's product is just go to their product and apply to become an affiliate.

6. Etsy Shops Using AI

The sixth side hustle on this list is Etsy shops using AI. If you've watched my AI-generated art video, you're going to see how easy it is for you to create an AI-generated painting and sell it on Etsy. There are all sorts of things that you can sell on Etsy, like Canva templates, digital planners, and a lot of other items. I've made so many videos on how you can start this specific business model here on the channel for free. I've shown myself doing it and how I was able to take my store from zero dollars to $850 in one single day.

7. Screen Recording Tutorials

The seventh side hustle on this list is exactly how I started YouTube. What I did was record my screen or the computer screen of me doing something—showing people how to use a specific app or how to get Windows 7 installed on their computer—and I would record a tutorial on the computer or on my phone using my microphone and just post it to YouTube. Every time someone used my link, I would make a profit.
