Are you a solo entrepreneur, perhaps lacking experience, funds, or time? Are you weary of the constant information overload and the years wasted learning to code and over-engineering solutions? If so, I'm here to show you how to start making money with AI without overcomplicating your life. I'm going to reveal the nine essential AI skills that will not only put you ahead of 99% of the population but also teach you how to profit during this AI gold rush, just as I have.
According to reports from leading institutions like Stanford, the World Economic Forum, McKinsey AI Trends, and the IMF, we've seen an incredible evolution in the AI landscape, from Large Language Models (LLMs) to Small Language Models (SLMs). The surprising part? These smaller models are starting to outperform LLMs in areas like summarization and reasoning, thanks to improved classified and synthetic data usage. Look at DeepSeek, for instance. They demonstrated how to fine-tune and distill data so effectively that anyone can potentially start their own AI-powered business. The most important thing to remember is that those who master these nine AI skills will be at the top of the AI world.
Skill 1: AI Researcher
Your mission as an AI Researcher is to constantly monitor the market for the latest advancements in AI. It's about being curious, testing new tools, and expanding your AI skillset. Think of it as building your own superhero with a range of abilities.
- Explore Voice Generation: Use tools like 11labs to create realistic and engaging voices for various applications.
- Create Music with AI: Dive into SUNO and similar platforms to generate original music tracks.
- Leverage Hugging Face: Explore Hugging Face for a wealth of open-source AI models you can experiment with.
- Go Beyond ChatGPT: Focus on training AI agents on your own data for customized solutions.
Each new AI tool you master is like unlocking a new ability for your hero, expanding your capabilities and potential revenue streams.
Skill 2: AI No-Code Builder
This skill focuses on using AI tools like BoltNEW, LovableDEV, Cursor AI, and Windsurf AI to build websites, landing pages, and basic mobile apps using AI and prompts. Mastering this skill empowers you to develop products for yourself and your clients, quickly test new ideas, and maintain momentum.
Forget about hiring expensive developers and dealing with communication issues. Last year, I sold ten landing pages for $1,000 each, created and modified entirely with AI for my previous IT clients. This skill is an invaluable asset during the AI gold rush.
Skill 3: AI Copywriting
Many people are already using AI for writing tasks. However, the challenge is to use multiple LLMs simultaneously for better results. You can take advantage of ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Claude AI, and Gemini. Master the art of crafting prompts by providing the right context, so the AI truly understands your needs. Then, determine which LLM is most suitable for each task.
This skill is beneficial for writing SEO articles that drive traffic to your site or your clients' sites if you're selling AI services like I am.
Skill 4: Prompt Engineering
This skill teaches you how to communicate effectively with various LLMs. Interact with three or more models at once to compare their outputs and fine-tune your prompts for each. Learn how to understand and work with the limitations of each model and determine which model works best for each specific situation.
Experimenting with prompts is essential. For example, when ChatGPT couldn't help me find a direct URL to a video on a Chinese website, DeepSeek was able to assist.
Skill 5: AI Agents
Creating AI Agents is a skill that companies are willing to pay a premium for. Last year, I helped my clients build businesses around AI Agents. By integrating AI Agents into an existing business model, you can outperform your competition.
Imagine writing SEO articles for a blog with AI Agents that analyze competitors, monitor updates, integrate news, and optimize writing styles. OpenAI GPTs and Relevance AI can help you build your own AI Agents.
Skill 6: AI Content Generation
You can either build your own business by creating content with AI or help others by providing them with tools for the business gold rush. Master image generation tools like MidJourney, Stable Diffusion, Leonardo AI, and Flux Shnell, and experiment with models like Astra AI and PhotoAI. Having a diverse toolkit of AI image generators allows you to push boundaries, even to the point of generating content that might be considered NSFW if that's what your market demands. AI-generated videos are also becoming increasingly popular and can be used commercially.
Skill 7: Using AI for Personal Branding
AI is going to continue to grow, and the models will get smaller soon, which means anyone would be able to build and train their own AI. While many tasks will be automated, human attention will always be limited. Use AI to build a personal brand that attracts attention, so you can sell anything.
Start by becoming an AI news reviewer or documenting your journey into the AI world.
Skill 8: Data Aggregation for AI Training
Gather data about yourself, your strengths, your competitors, and your ideas, and use this data to train your AI & AI agents. For example, I've built an army of AI Agents that produce my content, craft hooks, inject my style, and add my humor.
This approach lets me train each AI Agent on a constantly refreshed pool of unique, high-quality information. This can also help any company or your clients in creating SEO articles, generating content, or anything that they need assistance with.
Skill 9: AI Automation
Once you've built your AI Agents, connect them into a system where they can communicate and generate content for you while you sleep. Use automation tools like Make or n8n to set this up. AI Automation lets you create a team of agents that collaborate and solve problems, even when you're not working. This is a sought after skill that clients are willing to pay a premium for.
Bonus: Micro SaaS Fast Starter Kit
Information overload is a common problem for Micro SaaS startups. People get stuck before they even start, spending months setting up payments, designing landing pages, and configuring emails.
That's why I created the Micro SaaS Fast Starter Kit—a complete Next.js SaaS boilerplate that helped me launch three successful projects, each making over $10,000. It's perfect for both developers and those skilled with automation tools like n8n or Make. With native integration, you can easily plug in your n8n flow scenario and start selling a ready-made business in just one to two weeks.
Stop wasting time on features that are already built. With one week of work using my infrastructure, you can start making money from your Micro SaaS today.
Remember, don't rely on just one project; diversify and expand your opportunities.
