5 AI Businesses To Start This Weekend (With Almost No Money). | Transcript:

If you've been trying to figure out what business you should start in this economy, in this video I'm going to show you five different business ideas that you can start this weekend even if you don't have a lot of money. Now, here's the thing. Every generation goes through a major economic shift which creates new business opportunities. In the 1800s, it was railroads. This was the first time that people were able to move easily from one part of the country to the other and this shift made some people, like Cornelius Vanderbilt, some of the richest in the world. Fast forward to the 1900s, which allowed some people, like Henry Ford, to now build mass manufacturing plants and that shifted

wealth and that created huge business opportunities again. Then in the late 1990s, it wasn't something so industrial, it was the internet, a digital industry, which allowed people to start a lot of it easier. Where you didn't have to go out and build a railroad or build a manufacturing plant, you could build a website on the internet, a whole lot cheaper, a whole lot easier, which created a whole new wave of wealth and it made some businesses, like Amazon, extremely wealthy. And now here we are today and we're entering a new shift that's even simpler to access than before. It's artificial intelligence. Because now the wires are laid for the internet and AI has made using technology even simpler and it's not that expensive to use and

it's going to create a whole new wave of millionaires, billionaires, and trillionaires. Well, you don't have to be somebody that builds a trillion-dollar company or a billion-dollar company or even a million-dollar company, but in this video I'm going to show you five different business ideas that you can start even if you don't have a ton of money that can add an additional $1,000 a month, $5,000 a month, even $10,000 a month to your pocket or a whole lot more if that's something you want to do. Right now, millions of businesses in the United States understand that AI is important, but about half of them have no idea what to do, so they're just not doing it. And then out of the 50% of

businesses that are using AI, many of them have no idea what to do, what tools to use, and how to use them. This is where you can come in and if you can specialize in a specific tool for a specific industry, you can solve that problem for businesses and get them to pay you to use your services. But, this is where people make a big mistake. They say, "I'm going to be an AI consultant and I'm going to help business owners with AI." Well, guess who's going to hire you? Nobody. You have to be a little bit more specific to show your value to a specific industry. If you can say, "I am an AI consultant that helps dental business owners improve how many clients they're going to have for their business."

Now, dentists are going to be much more likely to hire you. If you can be an AI consultant for chiropractors to help them lower their front desk cost, now you have a real business opportunity. If you can be an AI consultant for attorneys to help them save time on their legal work, well, now you have a real business model. The key is you want to focus in on an industry where people have money. Doctors have money to spend. Chiropractors have money to spend. Attorneys have money to spend. Accountants have money to spend. So, if you can find an industry, it doesn't have to be medicine. There's many different businesses out there, but if

you can find a type of business, specialize in the type of business, and then specialize in the thing that you can do, well, now you can go out and serve those people. Now, you're going to say, "Well, Justin, that sounds great. How do I find those clients?" Number one, simplest, not the easiest, but simplest way is to be a freelancer on the internet. That will be Upwork. That will be Fiverr. That will be launching your own Facebook ads to find clients. But, the idea being is now you're going to be a freelancer on the internet and you're just going to try to find people who come to you. Maybe people will put a Upwork ad or a Fiverr ad and now you can be the person that solves that problem

and now you can charge an hourly fee, 30 bucks an hour, $100 an hour, $200 an hour. The better you are, the more you can charge. Option number two, it's now you're a little bit more sophisticated. Instead of charging an hourly fee because it is so hard to build a real business just off an hourly fee, is you figure out what service you provide and what it's going to cost you. If you can come into a dental practice and help them build AI systems to have more clients and to get more five-star reviews, they will be willing to pay you $1,000 a month.

Probably more, but $1,000 a month is a pretty simple place for a dental practice to start. It's not too much money for the dental practice, but if you can find five or 10 different of these dental practices to pay you, now you have a pretty good recurring stream of income because that's five to $10,000 a month. But let's start with one. If you can find dental practices to pay you $1,000 a month to streamline the AI operations to help them find more clients, get more five-star reviews, it's worth way more than $1,000 for them. You have to now specialize in how to do that. So spend the next week studying AI and how you can actually solve this. And you're going to say, "Well, how do I actually learn this?"

Number one, watch YouTube videos. Then number two, go to ChatGPT. Go to Claude. Go to Gemini and ask. Tell it what you want to do and then have it quiz you. Have it teach you. Have it build you systems. It's not going to happen in 24 minutes, but it might happen in 24 days where you can have a complete system depending on how aggressive you are to go out and build everything that you need to be able to go out and start finding these clients and now you start calling them. Just Google where are the dental practices or have AI give you a list of dental practices to call and now you can start pitching. And now what's going to

happen is you're probably going to get hung up on the first time, second time, third time, fourth time, fifth time. By the 33rd time you're going to be really upset and say, "Just breathe. This doesn't work." But here's the part you got to understand. Number one, it is not easy to close your first client. Number two, you can't be like everybody else because do you know what else? Everybody sees what you see that people need AI and they're all trying to start the same general AI consulting business. So how can you make yourself stand out? And this is where you could try a few things. One option is you can and "Hey, uh I'm an entrepreneur in the area. I launched this new AI business for dentists. It's

been doing really well. I'm not trying to sell you anything. I just wanted to say, can I give you a free consultation or can I actually give you a free 30 days of building your AI workflow? If I generate more business, then just pay me $1,000 a month after. If not, no big deal. You have nothing to lose, only things to gain." This way now they have less risk. Most people are not going to do that because they don't want to spend the time putting in the work. But if you're willing to pick up the phone, get rejected 100 times before somebody says maybe, now you have the opportunity to get them through the close. And now we can run some numbers. Let's assume that you call 100 people and one person says maybe and it takes three maybes

to turn into a yes. And that yes is a $1,000 a month client. Well, now let's reverse engineer it. Well, if you need three maybes, you actually need 300 phone calls. How many phone calls can you do a day? Well, let's assume that you can do 50 phone calls a day. If you do 50 phone calls a day, it's going to take you six days to get one yes. If you can work for six days to get one yes of constant rejection, well now that one yes has led to $1,000 a day. And now a week later, you got your second yes. A week later, you got your third yes. A week later, you got your fourth yes and maybe one of those businesses dropped off, but now you're starting to build that work. The problem

is most people will not go through 300 rejections again and then pick up the phone and do it again. But if you're willing to do that, now you're just working converting those maybes to a yes and that's where how good your offer is. And now you can build this recurring stream of income by being an AI consultant. And I'm telling you from experience, we have spent a lot of money on AI consultants. Not $1,000 a month. I wish it was $10,000 a month. We're spending a lot of money on AI consultants because of how fast we're working to aggressively build our AI adoption. Artificial intelligence isn't just changing the stock market, it's

also changing the way our economy works because as AI takes on more roles, people will have more free time. And one of the things that people want to do with their free time is travel. This can create a business opportunity for those of you entrepreneurs who want to take advantage of the next trend. And this is where I want to tell you about my sponsor, Fora. Fora is a modern travel agency platform which can allow entrepreneurs like you start a legitimate business with a low barrier entry. The way it works is you sign up to become a Fora advisor and your subscription will give you access to professional booking technology, expert training, a global community of advisors helping each other grow, and access to

over 7,000 preferred travel partners. That's major hotel brands and cruise lines and boutique properties around the world. Then, you do what travel advisors do. You book travel for other people, your friends, your family, people in your community, or your social media network, and then you are going to earn a commission every time somebody books travel from you. That means every hotel, every cruise, and activity that you book is going to put some money in your pocket. Now, here's the part that makes you more valuable. When people book their travel through you, you can offer them additional free VIP perks. That's room upgrades, that's late check-outs, and other things that they wouldn't be

able to get otherwise, only because they booked through you instead of just the internet. Not to mention the additional resort credits that you will be able to offer to your clients. Now, here's the real advantage. Most people when they try to start a business, they're trying to do everything themselves. They're trying to put together five or six different tools to try to figure out how they're going to launch a business. With Fora, it's all done for you. The system is there. You just have to find the clients to be able to give your travel services to. So, if you're looking for the right business to start and you're looking for something that has the foundation for you, this is where Fora

comes into play. If you want to learn more, I have the link to hike you to the down in the description below, or you can scan the QR code on the screen. That way you can learn more and start your business with Fora by becoming a Fora advisor. Number two is to be a master in AEO. An AEO is a new thing, which is the new SEO. If you've been involved in marketing, you know that there's a big fight to rank number one on Google. That's what SEO is. It's how you can write articles and get your articles to rank number one on Google. That way when somebody searches dentist in my area, your article shows up. Or when somebody searches what perfume should I buy, your article shows up. Or when somebody

searches which guacamole should I eat, your article shows up. SEO was the old way of doing this search engine ranking. The new way is AEO, and what AEO is how do you rank in AI agents? Because now what people are doing is they're saying, "Chat GPT, which dentist should I go see? Claude, how should I actually make my guacamole?" And so now when people go into these AI channels to ask how to do anything, AI is giving responses by saying, "Hey, you want to make some guacamole? You should try this company, buy their products. You want to go to a dentist? Check out this dentist in your area." And now what businesses are starting to do, again, this is like just scratching the surface, they're starting to say, "Huh, how can we get our stuff

ranked on Chat GPT? How can we get our stuff ranked on Claude and Gemini and Perplexity and all the other AIs out there?" And this is the world of AEO. And if you can go out now and start studying how to do it and start proving that it works, well, now you have a whole new concept that you can market. SEO marketing was a very big business for many, many, many years. Now it's shifting. And unfortunately, a lot of people still just don't understand how AEO works because people are still trying to figure out. And a lot of people are saying, "Oh, don't worry about it. AI is not that big of a deal."

People still say that. Now, whether you believe it or not, I don't know what to tell you. AI is coming and it's not slowing down. If you can understand that, hey, this is the future. Now, you can be somebody to lead in this new cutting-edge business. So, how can you actually do this? Again, be specific. If you can be the AEO expert for digital marketing companies, you could be the AEO expert for e-commerce companies. If you can be the AEO expert for a specific type of business, well, now you can go and market yourself. And just like before, how are you going to call the clients? How are you going to deal with rejection? How much you're going to charge? I mean, you could charge $1,000 a month, $15,000 a month,

depending on how much work you're going to do per client. But now it's all about closing the first deal, using the first deal to close the second deal, using the second deal as leverage to close the third deal, and then depending on how much work you do per client, you just got to decide how many clients do you actually want to manage. You want to manage two clients paying you $25,000 a month each, or do you want to manage 25 clients paying you $1,000 a month each? That's up to you. Number three is you start an AI receptionist business for the trades. Here's the thing. If you run an HVAC company, you run a plumbing company, you run an electrical company, and you're a guy doing it yourself, maybe you're two

people, you might miss some phone calls. And this is where you can come in and help solve that problem. Because every call that they miss is a missed business opportunity. And you can come in and now build an AI receptionist that works. Because I know there's some really bad ones out there, but there's also some good ones. And if you can build this AI receptionist tool that essentially filters the calls and asks people what they want, and get a little bit of information about the job, now you take all this information and put it into a Google Sheet, put it into a dashboard, put it into an email, put it into whatever form that you want. That way now that business owner, the electrician, the HVAC person, the plumber, they can get a easy-to-read

dashboard of all the people that want their services, and now they can call back the people that they want, so they don't have to keep taking the phone calls. And now they don't miss those business opportunities, because if they miss one business opportunity, that's easily $250 gone, and I'm talking very easily. And chances are they could be missing one of those a day, one of those a week, one of those a month. And so now if you can build this AI receptionist system, now you can just price it accordingly depending on how much work that it does, and now you can build a brand new recurring revenue business, because now they will want to use your AI receptions forever, because the electrician doesn't

want to sit on the phone all day, he wants to do the electrical work. The plumber doesn't want to sit on the phone all day, they want to take care of the plumbing. And if you can now solve that pain point for them, get them time back, and make them more business, you just got a customer for life. Number four is being an AI content studio. Every business on the internet has to publish content somewhere. Some people love doing it. 20% of people hate doing it. In fact, it's probably more than 20%, but 20% of people just will refuse to do it at all. And they don't even want to spend the time to figure out how you can use AI to do it. They understand that content is

important, they just don't have the time, want, willpower, to go out and do it. And if you can come in and say, "Hey, you already know content is important, how about I produce the content for you?" Now in the past, that was very difficult, because well, producing content is a lot of laborious work. Somebody would have to come up with the camera and a microphone and all this other stuff. But now if you can specialize in one niche, you can produce the content for them with AI. Now this could be for realtors, it could be for the trades, electricians and plumbers and HVAC people, it could be for professionals like attorneys, and doctors, and accountants. It doesn't really matter what the industry is. You just want to specialize in that industry. That way

you can go to somebody and say, "Hey, I'm an AI content studio for accountants. Can I start managing your social media and publish your content for you?" It's all AI, but it's going to cost you $1,500 a month. Now, if the accountant, which might only be one person, or three people, or four people, doesn't understand how to publish the content, but they know the social media is important, you can be in business. And now, if you can demonstrate the value, which for them would be more business, which means you show that number one, your content is getting viewed, and people are then interested in the content to then submit a form to be a lead for that business, all of a sudden you paid for yourself. Because one accountant client is worth more than

$1,500, period. Because you're going to pay money every single month to your accountant. And so, if that accountant can sign up one business owner, just one business owner a month, from your content, you have paid for yourself, and you have a new client for life. But that means you have to show them that it's going to take six months to really start seeing the traction, and by month seven, you're going to really start to see the value in what I'm doing. But it just takes time to get picked up on social media. So, you can start to study, how do you grow on social media? How do you create the content? And then you go out and do it. And now, show the tracking. "Hey, we got three leads from Instagram this month.

We got 13 leads from Instagram this month." We're not talking about huge numbers, thousands of leads. I'm talking about three, five, 10. And if you can do that, now all of a sudden, you are in business. But again, niche down and understand how to get good at it. Spend some time learning how to be good at it. AI can help you with that. Once you're good at it, go and get the first client. Once you get your first client, they'll help you get the second client. That can help you get the third. And now we have number five, which is arguably the most valuable, the most needed for pretty much every digital business in the world. This is an AI workflow automator.

You are the person that is helping people automate their work. You don't have to necessarily be the reason people lose their job, but you are the reason that people can automate the work and spend their time doing better stuff because AI, like ChatGPT and Claude, can only do so much. But now, if you can understand how the LLMs, so ChatGPT and Claude, can sync with the different things that people have. HubSpot, Salesforce, Stripe, whatever other integrations there are. And now you can figure out what people do for a living, you can now automate the process. This is what a workflow is. Is you're going to come in and watch what somebody does. If somebody's a data engineer, you're going

to watch how they wanted to the data, what softwares that they use, what do they take from one software to the other, exactly how they do it. And now you're going to study that we can help them automate the process. And even if you can't automate the entire thing, maybe you can help automate 80%, 90%, 95%. And if you get at this AI automation, AI workflows, you are going to be in huge demand because everybody who is using AI is starting to realize that I need to figure out how to build these workflows. I need to learn how to use tools like Zapier or Make or n8n to be able to automate these workflows. Or as you get more advanced, open-source AI models. As you get more advanced, and if you can

learn how to do that, you have a marketable skill where people will more than easily be willing to pay you a thousand dollars a month to be able to help build and manage these AI workflows. There are people charging a lot more than just a thousand dollars a month, thousands of dollars a month to help people with AI basic workflows. And so now what you would be doing is number one, study how to do it, learn how to use all the softwares and skills in whatever industry that you're using. Because again, it's got to be an internet company where people are doing stuff on the internet. But now, if you can learn how to sync different softwares like HubSpot and Stripe and Google and all these things through one

workflow, you can go into companies and help streamline operations and help save each employee hours a day. And if you can help one company save 20 hours of work a week per employee, you bet they'll be willing to pay you $1,000 a month, $2,000 a month, maybe even five or $10,000 a month. Again, depending on how good you are and how involved you are to help them build these workflows. So, we're seeing a shift happen right now with AI. You can go out and build a huge AI company. You can go out and do whatever you want with AI. What I'm talking about is how can you be part of the backbone with AI? And now, you can decide how aggressive you want to be.

Maybe you just want to make an extra $1,000 a month. Maybe you want to make a few thousand dollars a month, maybe $10,000 a month or more. The idea is this is something that you can start without a lot of money, but you got to start by learning and investing in your knowledge, and it's going to take time. If you're not willing to get rejected hundreds of times before you get the first yes or maybe, it's not going to work for you. But if you're willing to put in the work and the time, you will be surprised at how fast you can grow once you get your third client and beyond. The first one's the hardest, second one's going to be difficult, but by three, you will now be the hang of it and now you can decide where you want to

grow, how you want to be your pricing and how you want to build your business. So, I talked about being an AI consultant, just helping people get up and used to using AI to improve one efficiency in their business, whether it's dentists, doctors, accountants, chiropractors. Figure out a company that's kind of more old school and now help them save time or make more money with their AI. Number two is AEO. This is the new SEO. Every company on the internet, every e-commerce company wants to rank on AEO, but many of them have no idea what AEO even is. And so now you can come in and be part of that cutting edge of this new marketing and help them rank on ChatGPT

and Claude and Gemini and Perplexity to help them get more business. Number three is being an AI receptionist, especially for the trades, HVACs, plumbers, electricians. These people get phone calls all the time. Your roofer doesn't want to be a receptionist. And now if you can help solve that job with AI, help them save time, help them close more deals, you got a customer for life. And that's what your AI receptionist business is all about. Number four is building an AI content studio. A lot of businesses know that publishing content is important. They don't have the time, the willpower, or the interest in actually doing it themselves. Before producing the content was very laborious.

Now you can do it AI. And now if you can specialize in one industry, accounting, electrical, roofing, medicine, dentistry, you can go to businesses and say that I have a specialized AI content studio in your industry and I can do your content for you. And now to prove your worth, you have to show that you're generating leads or clients for this business. And that's pretty simple now because well, you're going to have a link on your Instagram bio or your Facebook page or your TikTok or whatever pages you are. And so you can see how many leads or calls or clients you're driving in. And if you can bring in a couple leads a month, well, now you might be paying for yourself, especially if those leads are converting on the back end.

And then number five is an AI workflow expert. Every business where people work on the computer can be optimized with AI workflow. And if you can help an employee save 3 hours a day, which you probably can do more for most people, but if you can help them save 3 hours a day every day, you bet that business is going to pay you to help optimize every employee because they want to save that time. So now employees can be more productive and do more things that are going to drive more revenue for the business so they can do less automated and repetitive tasks, but a lot of people just don't want to learn the tech and how to do it. And if you can specialize in that, well now you just built a new revenue stream for you.
