How to Start a Side Business Safely

Four Suggestions

  • Focus on content creation to generate traffic, not just selling a product - Traffic naturally requires products. Collaborating with others to facilitate transactions can be profitable.
  • Sell shovels, not dig for gold - Digging for gold demands comprehensive project requirements and entails high risk. Selling shovels is often more direct.
    • Private labeling - If you create a product A, remember to sell product A to others, and you can even support private labeling to let everyone dig for gold together.
    • Distribution - If you are digging for gold yourself, it's best to find a way to let others do the same. Distribution is a good approach.
  • If you don't want to spend money, you have to spend time - Buying knowledge and then executing it is less risky but requires costs. If you don't want to incur costs, you need to invest time. Continuously trial and error over time to find profitable ventures. Of course, spending money does not always guarantee the acquisition of knowledge, and you might end up in losses.
  • Build assets, not sell time - If your time cannot be sold multiple times, it's no different from regular employment. Focus on accumulating your assets instead of engaging in one-time sales of your time.

One Strategy

Creating content for social media and relying on platforms is currently the most accessible path to using AI for side businesses.

Sharing AI Technology Money-Making Ideas

Understanding Money-Making in Technology

  • Focus on niche markets, not platforms - If you want to create a product, make it highly specialized. With many generic GPT-based products, it's hard to stand out. But, adding a niche, like a desktop version of GPT, social media GPT, or AI girlfriend chatbot GPT, can make you more recognizable.
  • Favor what aligns with human nature, not against it: For example, writing novels aligns with human nature, while education might go against it.
  • Start small - Don't aim too big from the start. Begin with something minimal, like creating an API for Midjourney if you’re interested in building a Midjourney art site. Starting with a tool (the "shovel") can be profitable enough at first.
  • Open source to gain traffic, which is more effective than digging for gold in closed source: Starting with open-source can continuously bring you resources, far more than remaining unknown in closed-source.
  • Build in Public - This, combined with the above, can bring significant public recognition. With a foundation of traffic, you shouldn’t worry about launching a closed-source project.
  • Copycat - Keep up with the latest information and mimic successful models, from the West to China, from China to Africa. Where there's an information cocoon, there's money to be made.
  • Focus on international rather than domestic markets - Earning in foreign currency, like US dollars, is preferable due to various LLM review issues in domestic markets.
  • Target the wealthy and those who aspire to be wealthy - These groups are most likely to pay, while others may pose payment challenges.
  • How to promote - If you’re asking this, you probably haven’t figured out your target audience, core functionality, key selling points, and where your target audience congregates. Once you understand these, initial promotion won’t be a concern.

Proven Technical Money-Making Schemes

1. Wrapper Sites

Whether it’s a GPT wrapper site or a Midjourney wrapper site, the basic idea is to create a site and turn it into a SaaS or support private deployment with branding, selling it to small business owners looking to make money. They generate traffic and earn money. These types of sites usually rely on distribution systems.

2. API Aggregation

Packaging various LLM or AI capabilities into APIs supports rapid developer integration, saving the hassle of managing foreign transaction accounts and deploying relay servers. This mainly involves earning a margin as a middleman, finding cheap API accounts from dealers, and selling them at a lower price than the official ones. However, it requires ongoing maintenance to keep up with version changes and scheduling controls.

3. Card Issuing Sites

Various open-source card issuing sites automatically sell GPT accounts. Many account traders in groups are unaware of these sites. Setting up a card issuing site can be profitable.

4. Focused AI Tools

Focus AI capabilities on a specific field or a specific demand of a group, like AI for writing academic papers, AI for automated social media posting, or AI for identity photos. The key in this field is to address a direct need. Sufficient focus brings strength.

5. Model Training

Offering model training services is also prevalent, but delivery can be challenging, especially when domestic models might not meet client expectations.
