I Tried The “Easiest” Ways To Make Money With AI
Codie Sanchez tries to turn $100 into $1,000 in 10 days using only Grockbot AI agents, testing five "easy" money ideas and finding the boring business uses beat the flashy ones.
The gist
-
Three bots found free Facebook Marketplace items, booked courier pickups and relisted them, netting about $88 on $130 in revenue.
-
The clipping bot made $0 selling on Upwork, but Sanchez says it now saves $50 to $250 per video as her editor's assistant.
-
A re-engagement bot emailed 3,000 book launch leads who never bought, netting about $14 in two hours from an already heavily marketed list.
-
The cold outreach bot checked addresses with Hunter.io to avoid bounces, then got 10 interested replies and 2 booked calls, which Sanchez values near $2,000.
-
The trading bot Wolfie, which traded on Reddit and X hype, ended down about $15.67, and Sanchez says bots just speed up bad strategies.
