I Tried A 100% FREE AI Side Hustle For Indians (Real Results)

0:00Did you know there's a 100% free AI side hustle that people are making a lot of money with? And the best part is you can start it from your phone, no investment required, and using all free AI tools. This lady Angela from Bangalore makes $10,000 a month using this method, which is around ₹10 lakh. Then this US-based Rosary Kroner makes $5,000 a month, she's working part-time on this. And the most mind- blowing is Michelle Schoner, who is earning $1,000 a month using exactly this method. So, we can see this works very well in Western countries. But no one is telling us how to implement it in India . Well, that's exactly what we'll

0:45test today. I'm giving myself seven days to see how much money I can make. I'll be documenting the entire process step by step and, of course, sharing the raw, real results as well. I promise this video will be very helpful. So, hype the video a little, it'll help me too. And if you're new to the

1:02channel, don't forget to subscribe, as I'll keep bringing more such videos for you. Let's get into it. You've probably seen many videos selling digital products, but for that, we need traffic—people who will visit our website or store. For this, we usually run ads on Facebook, Instagram, or Google Pay. So, there's an upfront cost. But there's a platform where traffic is already high, people have purchase intent, and with 1.3 billion monthly visitors, I'm talking about Pinterest. You

1:35've probably seen many videos on Pinterest, but this is a method through which you can actually earn money from Pinterest. You can build a passive income source. No one is telling you this for free. Pinterest works differently from other social media platforms. It's more similar to Google than it is to Instagram. It basically works as a search engine. People search for a specific lifestyle or a problem they want to solve, and if we provide this solution on this platform, we can make money out of Pinterest without having to advertise our products anywhere. So, guys, let's start. First, we need to figure out which products we'll sell. For this, I'll go to Cloud, and

2:12you can see I'm using its free plan, which is more than enough. So, I've pasted a prompt. You'll find all these prompts in the description. So , don't worry about that. Start by researching some digital product ideas I can sell on Pinterest that are already high. Search for the resources needed to build them and the pricing. As well, I've explained that I'll be targeting the US market from India. So Cloud will do its thing, and here you can see, we've got a lot of options

2:38. The first one we have is cash stuffing and savings challenge printables. So, basically, we'll create a journal with a savings challenge or a PDF where people can track their budget. We can price it at $3 to $6, and then bundles are $10 to $15. I'd suggest, since we're just starting out, we'll keep the pricing a little lower to attract more people. Second, we have ADHD and neurodivergent planners, and wellness-focused printable planners, which we can build on Canva and sell in $8 to $18 bundles. Then there are some more options, like digital planners for 2027, Notion templates, Canva, and social media and pin templates. So, I'm really liking the savings challenge and ADHD planners

3:22. But we won't just listen to Claude. We'll also do our own research and see what's actually working on the ground. So, I 'll turn to Pinterest for this. I created an account and set the location to US so I could research the market there. I'm just going to search for planners. As you can see, there are a lot of collages here. And for the product you're seeing, and the options on this visit site mean that the product is already selling. So let's visit one of these sites. And here you can see Emma Studies selling free study printable pages and then including paid options in its links. So I think a good strategy would be to create a

4:02freebie, and when someone clicks to get the freebie, we'll also include our paid option there, which will just help us get more sales, as well. Another resource that's very underrated but you should definitely use is Pt Trends. So whatever people are searching on trends, be it keywords, what type of products people are searching for, you get all that here. I've again entered the region as "United States." You can see here that the keywords that are currently trending are already visible. So, I'm going to search for "planners," "planner aesthetic," for example. Here, you can see how many searches there

4:40were on any given day. And then it's also predicting how many searches it will see by December. These keywords will be very helpful when we actually create our product and post it as a Pin. Because SEO is very important for Pins. Here, you'll also see the demographics, the age and gender of people we can target. Now, I'm just going to look for budget templates. The trend graph is above, which means more and more people are searching for this. Another great tool for research is at See. Here, again, we can see whether the digital products we want to sell are actually trending. Whether people are buying them or not. So, I'll enter the location as "United States." I'll put the currency in

5:16US dollars. I'll search for ADHD planners first. So you can see people charging $9.99 to $16.55 for digital and printable templates of various types. And there are some popular products right now, too. Which means we're absolutely heading in the right direction. The products Claude suggested are perfect. I've been earning money from side hustles and passive income streams for over eight years. I started when I was just in school, and Claude Chat and GPT weren't even a thing back then. So, trust me, I know what I'm talking about. Okay. Now our research is complete, and we've locked in two digital products. One is the ADHD planner, which

5:56I'll only make as a paid version. The other is the savings challenge, where I 'll make a free one. And then I'll also create a paid, more detailed PDF of that , which we can interlink and see what the results tell us. So, I'll go back to the cloud and give it a simple prompt: Make me a savings challenge digital product, and this should be ready to edit in Canva. Alright, our five- page freebie PDF is ready. Now you can sell this as is, but I'd suggest we take it to Canva and make a few edits. Tweet it a little bit to your liking . For that, I'll head over to Canva. You can edit

6:33it even better in the pro version here . But since we're using free tools, I 'll use the free version. So, I'm just going to upload the PDF we created from a Claude. And we'll click on it and start editing it. So, I can change the colors a little bit to my liking. We can add some graphics and animations. Photos, videos, whatever you want, some are locked in the Pro version. And

6:55then in Magic Recommendations, you'll also find free recommendations for graphics. I like this flower thingy. Then we can adjust it a little bit to our liking . I'm going to change the colors a little bit to make it a bit more aesthetically appealing. And another really cool thing about Canva is that you can add a gradient color. So instead of just using a solid color, we can create this gradient by mixing two or three colors, like I've done here. So, I get different styles in this. And I think this looks really nice and much better than just having one solid color. Now that our first page is more or less ready. We still have to add a few elements. But I

7:30'll change the colors in the rest of the pages similarly. We can keep one darker and then another a lighter shade. Quite like this. But I think we should add a little money element to it too . Since this is a savings challenge, I just searched for money in graphics. I can see a lot of different elements here. So, I think we can put this in place of the flower above. I'm just going to move it to the side. And I'll change its color. This black one is popping out a little too much. And I wanted to blend it in as much as it can. I'm going to add another similar element below. And again, change its

8:02color and size, etc. as well. Okay? So, I 'll add these same elements to the rest of the pages so that our entire PDF looks cohesive. And you just need to click on the layer and send it to back so that it doesn't appear in front of your text. All right. Now that's it, it's done. We'll just click on share and download it. Now you can also post its template on Pinterest. For that, you need the Pro version. So, if you want to sell templates, you can do that as well, but I'm just going to sell this as a printable PDF. Okay? So, our free PDF is ready. Now, we

8:35need pins to sell it, meaning post images that we'll post on Pinterest. For that, I'll go back to Klout. I've just uploaded this PDF. And I've asked it to give me some Pins. I can post to promote this product on Pinterest. I've created five or six images for us, which we 'll post directly on Pinterest later. I'll show you how to do that later. Don't worry, this process seems a bit monotonous, but I promise, we just have to put in a little effort here, and that will be it. Now that our freebie is ready, we need to create an actual paid version as well. So, I'm just uploading this again to Klout. I'll

9:12tell you that I made this freebie to list on Pinterest. Now, give me a more detailed version of this, and you can see our entire PDF ready, of 25 pages. So, even if we 're giving someone a five-page PDF for free, we can advertise it there. And of course, if someone is interested in the shorter version, they'll be even more interested in the more detailed version. Again, we 'll edit this a little bit in Canva to fit our theme, and it'll be ready to post. So, our first digital product is ready: both the freebie version and the paid version. Now, we'll create ADHD planners. Again, we

9:51'll go to the cloud, and I'm just going to ask you to make me an ADHD planner that I can sell on Pinterest. You'll find all these prompts in the description. And look at what it comes up with. A gentle ADHD planner. The colors are looking really nice, and it has 15 pages. And we also have all the images we need for this post ready. So, now our digital products are ready, but how will we sell them? We can't just send a PDF directly to anyone. So, for this, you 'll find a lot of paid websites on the internet that require an upfront fee . But I've found a free one that has no upfront cost. It simply takes a

10:30commission from your sales letter. Let's go to the website called Gum Road. By the way, I received some sponsors for this video that I could have used as an alternative. But honestly, after going through the websites and platforms, I didn't think it was worth it. Instead, I chose to share unsponsored platforms, which I actually found more convenient. So, I promise, sponsored or not, I'll always share platforms and tools that I've personally tested and seen results from. Let's get back. So, on the Gum Road website, just

11:03click "Start Selling" and create an account by entering your email address and other details. You'll create a little profile. The minimum tech is what I've decided. Then add a little bio, as well. Again, I asked Klott, and she gave it to me . Now, to sell products, we'll click on Products. Then click on

11:21New Products. So, the first one we can do is maybe the ADHD planner. We'll set its price at around $5. I think this is good for impulse purchases. Anything from $1 to $6 is something that people would know you'd buy instantly. Click on Next, Customize. And here I've added a little description. Again, I had all of this made by Klott. Then I'll add a cover image for this. Next, we'll click on Content and upload our actual PDF. So, whenever someone buys, they'll automatically get a link to download this entire PDF. Click on Publish and Continue, and you can see the link to our ADHD planner will look something like this. Now , if someone wants to purchase this, they can simply click "I want this" and they'll

12:04get the download link. For payments, you'll need to create a PayPal account and connect it to Gumroad. Enter your PayPal email, your account type, which will be "Individual's first name, last name," and all of these details, and Gumroad will automatically connect to PayPal. Alright, so I've also uploaded our 52-week challenge printable. Then, we've also created a free one, priced at $. In the description, you can see here. I've also included a link to our main product, which is for $4. Yes, okay, all our products are ready. Now comes the exciting part, which is posting these on Pinterest and seeing what results we get. So, we'll come to Pinterest, where you'll

12:48click "Create." And here you have two options: Pins and Boards. A board is basically a page where we add individual posts, or pins . A pin is a standalone post. I'll just click on the board. I'll add the The name of the board is ADHD Planner. And then I'll start adding pins, or posting them here. So, I'll add the images that Claude gave us here. And if you remember, Claude also gave us descriptions and titles for these images, which are SEO-rich and SEO-friendly. I'll go back to Claude and copy the titles he gave me for each pin and paste them here. Do the same for the descriptions as well. For product links,

13:30you'll simply copy the URL of the links we created in Gum Road and add that link here. Another thing here is that you should keep the "Show Similar Products" toggle off. Otherwise, someone else could promote their product on your template or your pin, which we don't want, since we already have a product we're promoting. And we'll just simply click on "Publish." I'll post the rest of our pins like this, as well. So, you can easily post four, five, or six pins a day. If someone comes across this pin and clicks on the visit site, they'll be taken directly to our Gum Road purchase page where they can buy it. That's basically it. Now, I

14:09'll keep posting like this for seven days, and I'll let you know what the results tell us. Honestly, I don't have a lot of expectations because Pinterest works slowly. So, it's not like Instagram or Facebook, where one of your reels goes viral and people start buying, and that's it. Pinterest gets evergreen traffic. This means that whenever someone searches for a specific keyword, they'll find your pin and buy from there. And honestly, this usually takes more than a few days. But because we have limited time. I'm hoping we'll have some sales by the end of this. So that I can show you some results as well

14:46. Before we go to the next page, there are other ways to make money on Pinterest. And one of my personal favorites is affiliate marketing here. You can also use physical products like Amazon Associates, etc. But the one that will pay you very well is Cva or becoming affiliates of such high-ticket software. So there are a lot of free-to-join affiliate programs like here. We have Cva's Apply to Become a Canvasser Canva Ambassador Program. Basically, if someone signs up for

15:18Cva Pro through your link, you keep getting a commission. Okay? You'll see all the details here. What are the perks of the program? Available for different countries. So you can do a Global English or if you're targeting India, you can apply for the Cva India program as well. There are many other software and productivity tools for which you can earn commissions through affiliate links. Similarly, if you're doing print-on-demand, you can promote it here by posting pins of your products and links to generate traffic. If you want me to make a separate video on how to do print-on-demand using Pinterest, just let me know in the comments, and I'll make it for you. That's basically it. Let's go to

16:00day seven and see what the results tell us. It's day seven now, which means we're finally seeing results. Honestly, like I said, I didn't have high expectations, but I think God was good, and the freebies we posted worked their magic. So, let's get into the dashboard. We made 24 total sales for the entire week. But don't get too excited, because 17 of those were freebies. But some good man gave us a $1 tip on our freebie too. Which is very sweet of them. Our total paid sales were seven, out of which two were sales of ADHD Planner for $5 each and five of Savings Journal for $4 each. I think

16:42we got a little push because of the freebie we included in Savings Journal . Otherwise , it takes some time to build your brand and trust on Pinterest . So our total profit is not much. You have to remember this is just the beginning. I've only tried it for one week, but if someone does this week after week, then in a few weeks, when you have more pins out, there you have more impressions on your store, you will see improvement, and every month, every week, you will see an increase in sales, so your total profits will start increasing. As well, I try to use all the free tools out there. You can find our free prep guide in the description

17:19. If you haven't seen my previous AI Side Hustle AI Influencer video, be sure to check it out. I've added it right here. Thank you so much. For watching. I hope this was helpful and I will see you in the next one.
