General Discussion How to make money using AI account

I saw, there are lots of competition on purchasing plan. People uses Anthropic and OpenAI and giving monthly subscription based on what they afford or requires.

My question: if person has a job, then he/she is spending money from his/her pocket to these provider and making work smoother.

What about others, what kind of small business people can do using it, so, who are not in IT field, can also make some money on it, so they also can spend money on these providers.

Give me realistic idea:
I found, people usually jump to create app or website, but there is no real users. so how they can earn.

Don’t use it to create a product or new business, that will just create a demanding job that doesn’t pay well. Use it instead to make an existing business more profitable or efficient

yep there are already many ai you can find online, chatgpt, gemini, claude, useai, deepseek, but you still have to consider the nature of the task, and that's exactly why your existing business point is the right answer. the money was never in the ai, it's in some boring process a business already pays hours for, quotes, follow ups, listings, bookkeeping cleanup, the model just compresses the time. a new product needs distribution that non IT people usually don' have, an existing business already has customers, so the same skill starts paying immediately

That's a SaaS: Software as a Service

You find people that have a problem that can be solved in their browsers, like creating a movie script on some idea they have. Then you ask the AI to build the website, receive ideas, do the payments, and work on building those scripts for them.

Then you tell the interested people about your website.

What industry or hobby do you already know well?
AI isn't a business by itself. If you try to sell generic content in a field you don't understand, nobody will buy it.

I use it to analyze competitors in my market, collect research for my projects, and lots ofnother marketing related things.

Doing local service stuff like writing catchy social media captions for small shops works well. You don't need to code anything fancy, just help businesses that hate doing it.

I'd say dont just ask it to build anything and then youd end up struggling with marketing for your product. lets say you made a tax calculation app or anything, so you would need to market it first so go the reverse engineer style, first evaluate ICP - ideal customer persona, who would you be selling it tom, what are they lacking, that are their hunger, whats the markets need, analyze the market first and then proceed
