Layoffs are trending again but this time due to AI. Instead of letting AI replace your job, start making money online with AI with 3 simple ways to earn money from home.

Flexible working hours are such a scam. Companies are like we have 9–6 office timing with flexible hours. It only means that flexibility to wait after six and you just can't leave at dot “six” or before that.

Tiresome.

Recently, I read news stating IBM is planning to replace 8,000 jobs with AI. I had a pretty mixed viewpoint over this statement (1).

It sure is a technological marvel to witness how Artificial Intelligence is growing but can it replace human jobs? Are we on that level where manpower would no longer be necessary?

Are AI bots advanced to obtain human-like creative and emotional thinking? AI bots are program-based which makes problem-solving or research a second job, but is it enough to replace humans?

AI should be treated as a companion rather than a complete replacement. Doing so would turn beneficial and efficient for both, the company and also the employee.

However, Artificial intelligence (AI) is here to stay [Bold & Clear].

It is a man-made innovation that has its “own” set of pros & cons. So, instead of whining over its existence replacing human jobs, make the best use of it.

To help you get over your traditional 9–6 job and also to tackle your fear of being replaced by AI, I have researched a few ways you can use AI to make money online and start earning from home.

How to make money online with AI

Some people consider AI as a taboo to their work operations. The capability of generative AI tools is remarkable which is obvious to generate such a fearsome concern.

However, there are ways you can use the smartness of AI in a better way which also showcases that humans are still ahead of the race and AI simply cannot replace it.

Create & Upload AI Music

The music industry is currently witnessing massive developments collaborated with AI. Recently a video featuring David Guetta playing an Eminem collab generated using AI voice caused havoc on the internet.

Later continued by Drake x The Weeknd's song on Selena Gomez created a trend headlining several publications (2) and even got approved for a Grammy nomination, since it was written by a human,

but performed by AI.

However, if used more wisely, you can make money online using AI music. If there exists a technology leverage its benefits before you regret watching others making the most of it.

There are several popular tools out there in the market enabling you to perform vocal enhancement, vocal generation, music generator, & production bots that do 90% of the work for you.

But make sure to generate and create content free from copyright, as that would certainly pull you toward trouble or take down your content.

Using someone else’s voice (particularly artists) is certainly not ethical. The artist could gain all the royalties for your effort of creating the song and also make your content copyright labeled.

It then becomes the same as “nothing.”

Stick with originality.

Sell AI-generated NFTs

NFTs are everywhere. The last year’s BAYC and CryptoPunk craze is still the same and not to fade away any sooner. Moreover, there are many more newbies launching in the market.

The current trend in the NFT market is certainly AI-generated NFTs. There are several bots out there in the market that allow users to create or generate text-to-image content.

This makes even you an artist.

You are using a word to generate an image (amazing). However, it is not new anymore but still a mesmerizing invention that can help you make money, if generated wisely.

Firstly do your research in the NFT market. The market is not small or limited but has unlimited possibilities and endless art rolling out there, so study the market demand.

Understand what labels are generating higher views and enormous trades. Suppose you are following BAYC’s content, just because Ape’s are trending does not mean you launch your own Ape.

People are tired of fake Ape or not fake but people trying to replicate BAYC. So, since there is no effort to create the design, input all your energy to research and generate a character never seen before.

In the meantime, make sure to input accurate text explaining your imaginative content and be sure to appreciate AI and maintain transparecny in the market.

The NFT market is very fragile, whatever you are doing, do it wisely. The market is not too small, nor too big, but whatever happens, is known to all.

Start blogging with ChatGPT-like AI-responsive tools

You must be aware of the writer’s strike that has paused several operations in Hollywood. Does it matter to you, sitting and writing in another corner of the world? Yes, it certainly does.

Producers were on the verge of replacing writers with AI-generated content. Yes, you heard it quite right. AI can write a movie or a song within a fraction of a minute, which a human can’t.

But AI-generated content is something developed using a database of information available on the internet, it is not novel, it is not original, and it is not viable, since AI lacks emotion and the ability to create a new piece.

For this sole purpose, producers replacing human writers was a complete nonsense move ever made in the industry which led several writers and their supporters to get down and join the strike.

One thing here everyone is missing, why not use AI’s fast and responsive generative capabilities alongside human writers to create an even better piece? Won’t it be beneficial for both, the writer, and the producer?

That is something we shall leave to the writers to decide since I am not that worthy of being judgemental in this case. But anyway, there is a way for average writers like me, and you reading right now could make wise use of AI to make money online.

Start freelancing, use applications like Fiver, LinkedIn, and Internshala Chat, to upscale your profile and get known in the industry. And to make your deal a worth, start using AI.

Not to generate or write content, but to create new concepts. Use AI’s generative capability to expand your database and gather information to create a new master piece out of it.

Sell your new and freshly generated content to companies, pitch them about your service, and keep publishing your content on Medium, LinkedIn, Fiver, etc., available applications.

You can ask AI to generate any type of content, and simply use it wisely to generate a new and original piece for your client. You can even take the help of AI to write captions, headlines, etc.

AI technology is not to leave or get eradicated from existence, it has been here for a long stay, maybe longer than humans, so why bother yourself with a fear of being replaced, or changing your scope of field?

Start using AI wisely and create content out of its generated content. Start selling your content, and effort and make money with ease. Let me know down below, how you feel about this article, and if I shall add more ways, or shall I just stop and shut up.
