So, I asked Claude Aai to make me as much money as possible in one month. And usually when you see these types of videos, there's a catch. Almost every viral AI made me money type experiment worked because the person already had a giant following and they just sold stuff to the audience that they already built and then they gave the AI all the credit. But don't take my word for it.

The top comments under those videos say it themselves and they're on the screen right now. So, most of the videos that do this type of thing, usually they're partially BS, but not this one. See, the money was never in the machine if you're doing it the right way. It's in what you already have, and Claude just packages it and does most of the heavy lifting for you. And that's why I ran this experiment on a random 50-year-old in my family, and it was my brother. And I did it anonymously at first and then documented everything in public. Now, like I said, my brother's 50 years old.

He spent nearly 30 years in the trades. He had zero online presence, never made a dollar outside of his career. He wasn't tech-savvy and he'd never made a video in his life besides recording videos on his phone. And so if it worked for him, and you'll see exactly how far it went, screenshots with all the evidence included, it can work for whatever you're sitting on right now.

But let's just see how far we can take this. Now, I've made tens of millions using AI in my own businesses. And I have a community where over a thousand people have run these exact same systems where they've generated over $und00 million in revenue. Plus, I've been using AI since 2022. And I even posted videos about it months before Chat GBT even came out. So everything here is humanmade and it's going to be sourced on the screen, receipts included. So the slop version of this already exists 100 times over. And this isn't it. And this also isn't me cherry-picking the best

student out of the thousand people in my community. This is me picking a random 50-year-old in my family who doesn't have any advantages and helping him grow from absolute zero using Cloud AI. So, if you appreciate me making this type of content and you want me to make more of it in the future, then let me know by gently cheersing that like button and let's go ahead and jump into it right now. So, let me show you the lazy version of this experiment live. I'm going to type in something generic like make me as much money as possible. And

look what comes back. Start a faceless YouTube channel, drop shipping, print on demand. It's the same list of options that you're going to see in just about all these cloud videos that you look up online. And don't get me wrong, not all of these are bad. They can all work. But the problem is they all need traffic because if nobody knows that you exist, nobody can buy anything from you. And the problem here is Claude wasn't wrong.

Claude was unaimed. Now, here's the thing about these AI models. And Claude AI is the best one, but it's still the same as the other ones in that if you ask it a lazy question, you're going to get a lazy result, right? It basically hands you a mirror. Now, there's an old saying in programming. It's called Geigo or garbage in, garbage out. So, if you put garbage in, you're going to get garbage out. And it doesn't really matter how good the model is. And every video where someone types that exact prompt and acts blown away by the to-do list, well, that's partially BS. So, I changed the experiment. I didn't run it

on me. I've got 1.5 million subscribers. Of course, it would work for me. I ran it on a random 50-year-old in my family, my brother Zach. And like I said, he spent 30 years in the trades. He's quite busy as well. He runs an HVAC company, and he's also a realtor on the side, and he has a really good social life. And shout out to you if you're watching this from Monterey, California, because half of you have probably had this man crawling under your house and in your attic. But online, nothing, right? He's never made a dollar outside of his career. So, the money was never going to

come from what Claude knows. It's going to come from what you know. Claude just packages it and it does 99% of the heavy lifting for you. All right. YouTube just got 10 times easier and nobody is talking about it. You used to need an entire film crew and it used to be a full-time job for you to just do any work at all on YouTube. But now you can get work done in as little as 15 to 30 minutes a day and you can actually grow a fulltime YouTube channel. That's exactly what I'm going to be talking

about at the live training that we're doing this week. Exactly how to grow your YouTube channel. So click the link in the description in the pin comment below to check that out. Guys, I will be answering questions before, during, and after the live training. It's completely free. Plus, I'll be giving away an AI that is designed to help you pick your niche if you don't have one in the first place or if you already have a niche.

It's going to help you make it 10 times better. So, really looking forward to talking with you guys. This is stuff that we never talked about before. So, click that link in the description below and I look forward to seeing you there. So, let me show you what I mean. A good example of what I mean is a community member of ours named Steven. Now, Steven's an engineer who teaches one piece of CAD software. It's called Seammens NX. This is a very niche type of CAD software that only specific types of engineers use. And he started promoting this using my systems. And

within a few months, he had over $12,000 in sales. And there was one order for about $1,13 that came from a meta engineer that Steven had never spoken to in his life. Right? So, the most elite people in his field were buying this thing that he had to offer. Now, here's what Steven did not do. He did not learn a new skill. He sold the one that he was already carrying cuz he already spent thousands of hours working with this CAD software in his normal career. And other people wanted to learn the same CAD software without having to spend

thousands of hours. And the reason that most people never do that is something that I like to call mile 23 blindness. So picture two people lining up for the same 26.2 mile marathon. One's at the start line, mile zero, and they've got every single mile ahead of them. The other one is already standing at mile 23 because everything they've lived through already covered that ground for them.

They just never called it training. And here's what almost nobody can see. The stuff that you're actually great at stopped feeling like a skill years ago. It just feels like you. It's easy to you, right? You might be like a 9 out of 10 at the skill, but you compare yourself to people who are 10 out of 10, and so you think you're not that good at it. Meanwhile, the thing that you've never touched still looks like a real opportunity because the grass is always greener on the other side. This is called the Dunning Krueger effect.

People will see some new business opportunity online that they have absolutely zero experience with, and they'll think, "Oh, that looks really easy." And they'll start from absolute scratch, not knowing that it's probably going to take them thousands of hours to get good at it. So, people do the one thing that makes absolutely zero sense.

They walk away from mile 23 and they go stand back at the start line with everybody else and try making money with stuff that they know absolutely nothing about. And the thing is is you can't see how far you've already run because you're the one who ran it. For instance, Leila Gani spent 15 years in corporate finance. And then she started teaching Excel, which is what she already spent thousands of hours mastering. And now she's making over $3 million a year in course sales. And this is her own publicly shared number. And it's not just career related stuff. It could be

anything that you've gotten good at in your life. For instance, Nathan Rose teaches chess and using our Claw AI powered systems, he made it to a full-time income in just a few months. And Cheryl Campbell sat under 50 subscribers for years and then after using our Claude AAI systems, one video about spiritual awakenings did 130,000 views and she started actually making money. So random CAD engineer software, Excel, chess, teaching people spiritual awakenings, none of them invented anything new. They just cashed in on

what they already knew. In other words, they started at mile 23, not at mile 1. And this is exactly what I helped my brother do as well. And if you don't do this, if you try to start from mile zero, sure it might still work for you, but it's probably going to take you 10 times longer. So, here's how to find your mile 23. Open Claude free tiers find to start and run the exact prompt that's sitting in the description and the pin comment below. It should be the third link down there. So, click down there to check that out. It's going to make Claude interview you first, everything in one message, and then it's

going to hand you your three best lanes and hit the one that it would start with in about 20 minutes. So you can screenshot this, copy and paste it into Claude. It might give you a perfect answer right away or you might have to go back and forth with it a little bit and then you're going to have something that you can actually start with that has a very high chance of success. So this is exactly what we did with my brother Zach. And of course I'm typing this in. This is a little bit of a reenactment, but this is approximately what it said when we did this. and it told him that he should teach other people how to pick the right trade

career for them and how to get into trade related careers because the trades are really hot right now especially considering the fact that AI is eliminating a lot of jobs out there. So, a lot of people are wanting to get into the trades. And to be honest, for my brother, this was common sense to him. And a lot of the times, the thing that this is going to come out with is common sense to you. But what is common sense to you is not necessarily common sense to other people. And often times, that is the thing that you should be teaching. And if you don't think that you're the best in the world at this, well, think of skill from a spectrum,

right? From 1 to 10. If you're a 3 out of 10, just a few steps ahead of a 1 out of 10, you can help a 1 out of 10 get to 3 out of 10. And if you're a 5 out of 10, you can help a 3 out of 10 get to 5 out of 10. a seven out of 10 can help a five out of 10 get a seven out of 10 and so on. So we sat him down, we opened Claude and we let it interview him and it became very obvious what he should do. Now it had some other suggestions that were pretty good as well. It also suggested that he could help people start an HVAC business and that could have potentially been a really good option too. But the thing is you want to pick one option just go for it for now.

Now if you design your business in such a way which I call the hybrid personal brand method, you'll be able to pivot later on if you want to. So don't worry about being married to whatever your niche is right now. Now, additionally, if you want help finding your niche and you want to see a step by step of exactly how we helped my brother find his niche and how we helped him grow his business to the results that we're going to show later on in this video, then I'm actually doing a completely free live training this week and it'll be the first link in the description in the pen comment below. Click down to check it out. Additionally, I'll be giving away

the niche validator Claude skill which has been trained on thousands of hours of us teaching people to pick their ideal niche and we're going to be showing you how to personalize it for you at the live training we're doing this week. So, click the link in the description in the pin comment below to check that out. All right, so we chose to help career switchers or beginners pick the right trade for them and actually land the job. And notice why he's credible here, right? 30 years in a trade is the credibility. Most of his friends are also in the trades. And so, the stuff that he talks about on his

channel again is common sense to him, but it is not common sense to most people out there. Now, you might be thinking that niche sounds way too small. Hold that thought for a second. We're going to get to that here in a minute. So, the next question is, what does Zach actually sell? Now, quick example here because you might be thinking, "Oh, Shane, well, you probably have to have millions of views and millions of subscribers to actually make money." And that is also not true. If you do this the right way, you don't.

And by the way, just about any business model out there works if you have traffic. And YouTube is by far the best way of getting traffic. So, what you do is you pick YouTube as your mother platform, and then you syndicate the content automatically using AI to all the other platforms. And that's how you get buyers coming to you so that you don't have to spend all of your time trying to get buyers, customers, and clients. So, an example of this would be Carla Sinson. She had a tiny channel with about 1500 subscribers, and her videos were getting 100 to 200 views

each max, but she picked the right niche. And because of that, she was able to land $106,000 contract from a video that got less than 200 views. So, she didn't need a crowd, she just needed one buyer. And she made an entire year's worth of money from one single buyer and one single video. So, there's a lot of different ways that you can make money from this, right? You could do services, you could do coaching, you could do a course, you could do software, you could do affiliate marketing or sponsorships, etc., etc. Now, most people pick the wrong one here, especially if they're

trying to make money fast because they'll pick the sexy one, right? A course takes months of building before you see $1. A software is even worse. And I know because I spent well over $100,000 on coaching and mentorships over the years, and I've seen every single one of these from the inside. And I've tried just about every side hustle, just about every oneperson business, just about every make money online opportunity out there, so I would know which ones you can actually make money with fast. Now, Zach also sells houses, so Claude gave him the version that he understood instantly. Building a course

is like buying raw land. You have to get the permits, the foundation, the framing, then you have to actually build the house, and it's going to be months, maybe even years before anyone can move in. But affiliate marketing is a moveinready house already built, already proven, and already selling. Now, he could have also chose to sell a service because a service is another example where you don't have to do the work before you sell it. You sell it and then you do the work. With that being said, Zach is incredibly busy and so we chose to go with affiliate marketing for him.

And later on, he'll likely start selling a service or coaching to make extra money. And the affiliate that Claude helped him land on is a company called Course Careers. So, they train people into new careers and their own reported numbers are stupid good. A stupidly high amount of surveyed grads landed a job, most of them within 3 months, and their average salary jumped from about 42,000 to $58,700.

Plus, they have a 4.7 excellent score on Trustpilot. And here's the fit, right? Because Zach's audience asks one question all day long. Which trade should I pick? Well, Course Careers is literally that answer. They have a bunch of different trades that people can get into, and they handpick ones that people can get into quickly, and there's a payout attached. They have a very generous affiliate program. And to be honest with you guys, most side hustles that people pitch on YouTube are secretly second full-time jobs. And that is not what we're trying to build here.

Frequently asked questions

Shane Hummus let Claude AI interview his brother to determine the best lane based on his existing knowledge, leading them to choose helping career switchers pick the right trade.

Because he was busy, Zach chose to use affiliate marketing, specifically promoting Course Careers.

Zach went from zero to a full-time income in less than one month, reaching $214 in a single day 29 days after posting his first video.
