00:00Let's be honest, if you're still broke in 2025, it's not because you're lazy, it's because you're not leveraging AI like someone who actually wants to win.
00:06We're in the first inning of a revolution. AI isn't just a tool, it's the employee of the century.
00:11It writes, it sells, it designs, it scales, and it doesn't sleep.
00:15You don't need any money here, you don't need connections, you don't even need talent if you're willing to just lock in for a little bit.
00:20So without further ado, here are the 5 laziest and smartest ways to make money with AI in 2025, according to someone who's actually built brands and made millions with it.
00:28Lock in, throw away the key.
00:30Number 5, AI thumbnail design. You know those thumbnails that make you click even when you don't want to?
00:34Yeah, those are actually worth a lot of money. Like, I pay for them. And most creators suck at making them.
00:39So there's a lot of ways to do this. You can use Midjourney, Photoshop, Canva AI, you can create click-worthy visuals and start stacking clients right away.
00:47A little sauce here that most people don't talk about though.
00:49ChatGPT is elite. You can feed it already established, winning, proven thumbnails, swap out whoever you're creating for, and largely build from there.
00:56How's that saying go? Good artist copy, great artist steal.
01:00I don't make the rules. Watch $10 thumbnails turn into $500 retainers overnight if your work starts to move the needle.
01:06Your job is to study viral thumbnails. Use VideoIQ to see what videos are already performing well.
01:11Build a portfolio. Use ChatGPT. Record a Loom audit for potential clients.
01:15Every personal brand, myself included, is now a media company, and they're looking for someone like you to step in and make a difference.
01:21Number four, AI theme pages on Instagram. To me, theme pages are a form of digital real estate.
01:27You want passive income in 2025? Start IG theme pages and run them like an actual media empire.
01:32Your job is to choose a niche, something that's already exploding. Crypto, gym culture, travel luxury, could be anything.
01:38Relationship reels, house music, red pill, doesn't matter.
01:40The content is already out there. Remember what I said earlier?
01:42The game here is not to be original. The game is to out-curate, out-package, and out-automate.
01:47Scrape TikTok, rip clips off YouTube, repurpose tweets, use ChatGPT to generate captions, hooks, commentary, use MidJourney for brand style, cap cut to slice and format, make it addicting, make it yours, make it scroll-stopping, most importantly.
02:00Then you sell promotion. And here's a side quest. If you want to build a house music page, I'll bankroll it. I'll pre-buy every ad slot for my music drops.
02:08You make the page, I fund the attention. You can do this anonymously, from your phone, while you scroll. You just need to stop scrolling for dopamine and start scrolling for data.
02:16Seriously, if this is something you're interested in and you're a fan of music, hit me up on IG, RobTheBank. Any motion, I'll help you make it happen.
02:22Three, AI-powered TikTok shop content. I've said TikTok shop is the new gold rush, but most people overcomplicate it.
02:28You don't need to be the face. You don't need to shoot real product footage. You just need to make the algorithm believe that your content sells.
02:35See, the truth about this era we're in, it's all about swings at bat. Reps. And so using AI in general is going to outperform most of the regular creators.
02:42Get a head start with this and I promise you it can change your life. Here's a couple different ways to tackle this.
02:47You can use MidJourney to generate stylized versions of the product, use Eleven Labs to voice the script, use trending audio, and pair it with strong hooks. Relatively simple formula.
02:55This is faceless marketing that drives sales while you sleep.
02:58And another advanced way to win here, or maybe not so advanced, but build a character.
03:02So a lot of people have seen the VEO three generations, right? The apes for guys like TJR, construction workers, the car dealership ones that we won't talk too much about, but you'll LOL if they're on your feed.
03:12The truth though is that these are the future of marketing in a lot of ways.
03:15What did I say earlier? It's about how many videos you can post.
03:18So if you can create a themed character and ultimately use them as a TikTok shop weapon, you are changing the game without ever showing your face.
03:26You can print money in your sleep.
03:27TikTok shop is crazy lucrative, right? Like I've personally paid an ungodly amount of commissions.
03:32I can't even keep track. Brands are offering 20, 30, 40%.
03:35All you have to do is learn that and continue to develop the skills.
03:39And my main point here is this isn't branding, it's performance art.
03:41It's easier to scale a hundred TikTok shop creators as AI than one human who burns out, point blank.
03:46You could launch three different pages this week and test. No inventory, just content plus conversion.
03:52Two, faceless YouTube channels. You've heard that the money is in the storytelling, but now you don't need to be on camera.
03:57You don't even need to speak. AI gave introverts and autists the keys to broadcast the empire.
04:02You can start a channel around pretty much anything.
04:04Couple different trending ideas. True crime, business drama, self-help breakdowns, masculinity plus wealth content, future of AI and society.
04:12Use ChatGPT for scripting, 11 labs for voice, cap cutter runaway for editing.
04:16You just need to post consistently. Improve by 1% each time.
04:20Let SEO, shorts, and algorithmic discovery do the rest for you.
04:23Once you're monetized, you've got AdSense, you can collect money from affiliates, sponsors.
04:28It is a freedom formula.
04:29There are faceless YouTube creators doing 20 plus thousand a month with a couple hours a day of focused input.
04:34This shit's real, and I don't think you should expect to be the best at it right when you start.
04:37But again, if you can improve and stay consistent, freedom is on the other side.
04:40Check out Jake Tran for some more gold here.
04:42My guy's been doing it for a long time, and he's all in on the AI now as well.
04:45Remember, the script is the product, the format is the brand, the output is scale, you build once, you compound forever.
04:51Some of these videos keep picking up in the algorithm year over year.
04:54Number one, AI-powered brand building.
04:57This is the final boss, and while it might be more work than the other ideas, it has generational wealth potential.
05:01You do not need permission, you do not need funding.
05:04You build your brand here using AI.
05:05Content, obsession, and just a little bit of taste.
05:08Like I said, this is more work, but this is also like real wealth.
05:11And maybe I'm biased because this is what I stumbled into 10 years ago now with Amazon FBA,
05:15but basically you use the internet, you use these platforms, you use these moments in history to create an asset that continues to print.
05:22And since it's not connected to you, it's something you can potentially exit, like I did, the private equity.
05:26So here's what you're going to do here to win.
05:27Use ChadGPT for a lot of this.
05:29Brainstorm your brand name, your stories, your angles.
05:32You can use ChadGPT or MidJourney to define your aesthetics, color theory, design mood boards,
05:36and then you get into the content, 11 labs, CapCut, like I was talking about earlier.
05:40And then I want you to understand this actual cheat code.
05:43If you can crack the content code and you have your brand already created,
05:47you can print money for free because you're never buying ads.
05:50And so you can generate literally limitless traffic, limitless sales, all by just sheer effort.
05:56The smartest ones are doing this.
05:58A lot of the top creators have turned to brand owners.
06:00It becomes parabolic once your product's already viral on TikTok shop
06:03because then other creators are going to join in too.
06:05They're going to jump and you can just scale like crazy.
06:07I've seen brands go from zero to 20 plus million in a single year over the last 12 months.
06:12And the playbook is super straightforward.
06:14You are selling through TikTok.
06:15You don't have a website.
06:17Possibilities are limitless here too.
06:18I always recommend pursuing something you're relatively interested in or passionate about.
06:22But if you're just starting out, I love categories with high margin,
06:25skincare, supplement brand.
06:27You can even launch a clothing brand, all with $0 in paid ads, all from your freaking bedroom.
06:31AI is doing 90% of the heavy lifting here.
06:34And as agents continue to roll out, it's honestly going to get easier and easier compared to back when I was starting.
06:39AI really is your unlock here.
06:40The fuel is obsession.
06:42This is what we've been teaching inside Million Dollar Brand Club for the last 12 months.
06:45And like always, I practice what I preach.
06:47We've been building MDBC AI behind the scenes.
06:50It's not ready yet, but stay tuned.
06:51When it drops, it's going to change the whole game and make it easier for everyone.
06:54Keep up with all of this on IG, at RobTheBank, because there's a lot of alpha with Amazon FBA as well.
06:59So listen, you have the models, you have the tools, you have the edge.
07:03So now it's just a matter of decision.
07:05Pick a path, get obsessed, and let the robots cook.
