Speaker A

Every day, you see hundreds of people sharing AI businesses with you. So, you look, you think it could be a good option, but then you see another video that says the complete opposite and tells you about a different AI idea.

00:14

Speaker A

And so, you have so much information that you don't even know what to do, and in the end, you take action on absolutely nothing. You're just lost.

00:20

Speaker A

And that's why I really wanted to make this video, because as an entrepreneur who uses AI every day with a real business that generates $300,000 every month, with proof right here from yesterday on our Stripe where we made

00:33

Speaker A

$14,774. I'm going to share with you the only seven real ways to make money with a business. And at the end, I will rate these seven businesses out of five using very specific criteria to finally organize this chaos that was

00:49

Speaker A

stopping you from taking action. For each business, we will look at 1, the problem it solves and why people pay for it, 2, what AI actually changes, 3, how you get paid, and 4, the pros and cons, meaning the positive sides and

01:04

Speaker A

the negative sides. Because there is no such thing as a perfect business. There is always a price to pay. There are always advantages and disadvantages.

01:12

Speaker A

We’ll start right away with business number 1, AI UGC. I'm sure you've already seen those videos on Insta or TikTok where a girl is in her bathroom, holding a cream, talking to her phone, and it looks like it was filmed

01:24

Speaker A

haphazardly. It just looks like someone giving their opinion on a product, with an example of a video right here. What you need to understand is that these videos make a huge amount of money for e-commerce brands. There are brands

01:38

Speaker A

that literally make hundreds of millions of euros per year thanks only to UGC. Yes, I did say hundreds of millions of euros per year. Because what most people don't realize is that these are actually ads. It's called UGC.

01:53

Speaker A

It's content that looks like it was made by a normal user or influencer.

01:58

Speaker A

Except that 9 times out of 10, in reality, there is a link to the shop right behind it, and it's just a disguised advertisement. And why does it work better than a real ad? Well, the big brands realized one thing.

02:10

Speaker A

Before, an ad meant a studio, a huge budget, actors, and a €100,000 campaign. But today, a video filmed on an iPhone, thrown together by someone in their bathroom, literally sells better. Why? Because people trust a person more than a brand. When the

02:27

Speaker A

brand is the one speaking, you know it's an ad. When it's a girl or a guy like you, your brain lets its guard down. But there is a fundamental problem with UGC: if it's not pushed through paid advertising, it depends on

02:41

Speaker A

virality. Virality involves a bit of luck, okay? You can't predict if the video will take off. So the only way to remove luck from the equation is volume. That means posting a lot on all platforms, constantly. And on top of

02:54

Speaker A

that, a UGC video lives for 2 or 3 weeks and then it's dead. And that's where brands actually have a real problem because producing content at that scale and having so much UGC, plus real people, is slow and very expensive.

03:09

Speaker A

A UGC video can cost €400, €500, or €600. So imagine now if you have to post 10 or 20 times a day, that means you're spending thousands of euros on UGC. And so the process to get

03:22

Speaker A

a UGC video used to be finding a creator, sending the product, waiting for them to film, paying them, and then getting a video after 2 weeks. But now imagine a brand that can create UGC videos without filming a single video

03:34

Speaker A

by hand. No more time constraints, a nearly unlimited quantity of content to push products. This is exactly what AI is solving today. There are specialized tools that create the person, the background, the lighting, and the voice. So that means with AI, you just have

03:51

Speaker A

to write the script, choose a face, upload photos of the product, and you have 20 videos in a single hour in any language. None of these people exist, so you have no one to pay. And in practical terms, it looks like this. It

04:03

Speaker A

has become hyper-realistic. This person right here does not exist. They are entirely generated by AI. Something huge has happened. Literally a few days ago with AI. There was the new ChatGPT model that creates even more advanced images, and literally every few months,

04:19

Speaker A

the images get better and better. So we can produce increasingly realistic AI UGC videos to the point where they are indistinguishable from reality. They are desperate for this content. And we’re not talking about just one or two videos, since videos die out in a

04:34

Speaker A

few weeks. They need a constant monthly flow of these UGC videos. Which means, and this is the most important part, it’s a business that can pay you every month. And what's cool is that there's nothing complicated about this

04:47

Speaker A

model. It's truly the simplest business I’m going to talk to you about today. You are responsible for only one thing: the content. The brand is obviously the one handling the product, shipping, customer service, marketing, and everything else. All we do in this

05:00

Speaker A

business is produce these UGC videos. And I'm not talking about theory, this isn't just an idea I pulled out of thin air. No, there are literally agencies in the United States today doing exactly this: AI-generated UGC for brands. Delivered in 3 days, 70% savings

05:15

Speaker A

for the brand, up to 500 ads per month. We can see one of those agencies right here that is absolutely crushing it.

05:22

Speaker A

And actually, a barrier has been removed because before, to do UGC, you had to be the person in front of the camera. You needed to have the right look, the right background, the right lighting, and especially the confidence

05:32

Speaker A

to talk to a phone and know how to make content. Today, you don't need any of that because AI can create the person, the location, the lighting, and the personality. Where is our value? If AI makes the video, you might wonder what

05:44

Speaker A

we actually bring to the table, but our value is in the creativity of the video. The script we write, the idea, the angle, and especially the variation.

05:52

Speaker A

Remember, a brand needs volume to take luck out of the equation. And it's precisely because we can churn out 20 variations of the same idea with different faces, scripts, and angles that brands are willing to pay. Well, unfortunately, the power went out, my

06:05

Speaker A

light isn't working anymore, but I’ll keep going. I’m a bit in the dark, in any case, I’ll put the iPad on a bigger screen. At least you get the maximum value. On that note, let’s continue. So, you have two options.

06:17

Speaker A

Either per video at between $10 and $50 because, once again, it’s something we’ll do in high volume, which brands need high volume. Or—and this is where the real money is—on a subscription basis. The brand pays you

06:29

Speaker A

a flat fee every month for a batch of videos. And this is something where you can easily charge 2,000 euros a month per client. For example, if you make 50 or 100 videos for them. That sounds like a lot, but since AI does 90% of the

06:43

Speaker A

work, it's completely doable. Which means you would only need 5 clients to reach 10,000 euros a month. This isn't a guarantee I'm giving you, it's just math, and it's entirely feasible. There are hundreds of people who have agencies like this in the US, and it's

06:58

Speaker A

starting to happen in France. The positive points of this business are that the starting cost is almost zero at the beginning. There are no cameras, no studio, no team, just software to use. Next, the barrier to entry is

07:11

Speaker A

extremely low. You need zero skills at the very bottom. You don't need to be an actor, you don't need to film, you don't need to edit. AI handles the hard part. The only area where you need a little skill is in video writing,

07:23

Speaker A

copywriting, and script writing to end up with high-performing videos. But you don't need to show your face; you just need to write. Next, the demand is high and it repeats. A good client will pay you every month for a long time; it's

07:37

Speaker A

something recurring. And then, there is very little investment, so the margins are very healthy. Now, the negatives are that it's so

07:50

Speaker A

becomes the number one factor. Knowing how to position yourself, but also how to make videos that perform. For that, you have to be a bit of a brainiac. You have to spend a lot of time on TikTok, seeing what videos work so that brands

08:01

Speaker A

want to buy yours and think, "He knows what he's doing." Then, there are many brands that still have in mind the failed AI videos from last year with previous models, where it wasn't necessarily high-performing or realistic, so many UGC campaigns didn't

08:17

Speaker A

work. So now, they are wary, even though today AI is much more powerful and really makes this business possible . And lastly, it requires your own time to write the video, to produce it, and especially if you want to make good,

08:30

Speaker A

high-performing videos, you'll still have to spend time writing and drafting the scripts. Maybe as you watch this, you're saying, "Okay, this is a creative business." Which I can understand; in reality, we are creating videos. That’s why if you aren’t a

08:43

Speaker A

creative person, the second business will likely be better for you. That’s why let’s move on to the second one, which is AI clipping. You see, in recent years, one format has taken over everything else: the short-form format, Reels, Shorts, and TikToks. These

08:58

Speaker A

platforms are growing year after year, and everyone wants to be a part of it.

09:02

Speaker A

And now, every podcaster, every YouTuber, and every coach is sitting on hours of long-form content—2-hour podcasts, webinars, and live streams— and buried inside are dozens of highlights, moments that would make great short videos. And creators know this, but they almost never do it. And

09:19

Speaker A

why don't they do it themselves? Well, creators want to do what they love. Creating, cutting a single episode into 20 vertical clips with the right subtitles at the right time. It’s hours of repetitive work, and you have to do it again for every episode, every

09:33

Speaker A

week. So they don't do it, and that creates a gap. And that gap is exactly where you come in. So, from 2 hours of a creator's content, you can extract 20 clips, if not many more, because each time you can create variations of every

09:47

Speaker A

clip. So you make five variations of 20 clips, and you end up with 100 clips per episode. And every clip is a gateway to their long-form content. And the more they post, the more people they reach, the more they sell—they

09:59

Speaker A

know this. They just don't have the time. And that's where AI comes in and changes everything. Before, to do clipping, you had to know how to edit, have an eye for picking moments that would work, and have hours of time on

10:11

Speaker A

your hands. But today, you can use tools like Opus Clip where AI reads the entire episode, spots the best moments, cuts them, and adds subtitles; what used to take hours now takes just the time it takes to have a coffee. Opus

10:25

Speaker A

Clip. Check it out in the description. And concretely, how do you get paid with this business? But not as a one-off mission, rather with a subscription, because it’s not a job you do just once. They are going to

10:36

Speaker A

post every week, they always need more clips. So we’ll charge weekly or monthly, between € 1,000 and € 2,000 per month per client depending on the volume. And to show you how in-demand this is, even I am currently

10:49

Speaker A

looking for someone to do my clipping, to take my YouTube videos and turn them into short-form videos. I currently have no one doing that. And for me, paying € 1,000, € 2,000, or even more if it’s really well done, is the

11:00

Speaker A

best investment I could make. And honestly, I don't have the time to go onto Opus myself, figure out how it works, and spend a week trying to get it running. No, I’d much rather pay someone € 2,000 a month to do it for

11:12

Speaker A

me. So, with five creators at € 1,500 , we end up with € 7,500 in monthly revenue. What is our added value here and why are we getting paid? Well, first off, setting up an AI system, even with Opus Clip, takes time, and

11:25

Speaker A

most creators don't even think about it . In reality, I don't even know why I’m not actually doing it yet. I just don't have the time. I have other priorities, other things I'm working on . But above all, if you just give the

11:35

Speaker A

videos to the AI and let it do everything, you end up with AI slop— badly edited clips that never get posted or just flop. So your role is to manage everything, spot which clips have potential, create variations in

11:48

Speaker A

the editing, and most importantly, set up this system from A to Z for the client. And the difference between a € 300 clipper and a € 1,500- per-month clipper isn't the tool.

11:59

Speaker A

Everyone has the same tool. It’s knowing which moments to keep and which opening line to use so people stop scrolling. When the AI offers you 20 clips, you know which ones will work.

12:09

Speaker A

That’s what the client is paying for. So the positive points of this business are that it is recurring by nature. You don't start from zero every first of the month. You only need five clients the first month, and you no longer need

12:21

Speaker A

to look for new clients. Next, it has the lowest barrier to entry in the entire ranking. You make the creative decisions. If you know how to tell the difference between what's good and what's not, if you can polish the

12:33

Speaker A

editing and just organize the system, that's all you need to do. Then, it costs almost nothing to run. And lastly , the demand is growing every year.

12:42

Speaker A

Everyone wants more short-form content; everyone is spending more time on Instagram and TikTok. So it's just going to keep becoming more and more important, where it won't just be YouTubers and streamers wanting clips, but absolutely every brand. Now for the

12:54

Speaker A

downsides, well, the barrier to entry is low, so what makes life easy for you makes life easy for everyone else— don't forget that. So there’s a price war, and you don’t want that. There is actually quite a bit of competition

13:06

Speaker A

in the clipping world. Even if it is a perfectly viable business you can get into. It is also the smallest ticket on the list. It’s true that for clipping , it’s not extremely well-paid. You need volume before it becomes serious.

13:20

Speaker A

And finally, you have to be pretty " brain-rotted." It’s something that’s going to be great for someone who is 18, 19, 20 years old, who has spent a lot of time on TikTok and understands the algorithm. But if

13:29

Speaker A

you’re someone older, 27, 28, 30, and you’re not on Instagram and TikTok all the time, you might have trouble getting into that world. So up to this point, the two businesses are linked to content and creativity. And the third

13:43

Speaker A

one is the opposite. It’s for those who like systems, those who are a bit more mature, or at least who think a bit more logically. Business number 3 is AI voice agents. I think you’ve noticed that most local businesses run

13:57

Speaker A

almost entirely on the phone. The dentist, the clinic, the law firm, the tradesperson—their phone is their front door. And their biggest problem is that when it rings while they are with a client, nobody answers. The guy on the other end of the line doesn't

14:13

Speaker A

wait; he hangs up and calls the next one on Google. So a lost client is worth hundreds, sometimes thousands of euros. In other words, if a small business doesn't answer its phone, it doesn't get customers. And so, missing

14:25

Speaker A

out on clients like that happens several times a week. The boss doesn't even realize it because he never sees the calls he missed. The leak is real, and it’s costing these entrepreneurs a lot of money. Just imagine five

14:36

Speaker A

missed calls a week at only € 300 per customer; that’s € 6,000 lost per month. It’s huge. And that’s really just the bare minimum. There are probably people losing much more than that by not answering the phone. Do the

14:48

Speaker A

test, open Google Maps, and call 10 plumbers at 12:30. How many pick up? You’ll be shocked, there are so few.

14:55

Speaker A

And that’s where AI comes in. That’s exactly the problem an AI voice agent solves. It picks up on the first ring, every single time, 24/7. It sounds completely human. It handles the conversation and puts the appointment directly into the calendar. It’s a

15:14

Speaker A

receptionist that never sleeps, never takes a lunch break, never misses a call, and actually, you’ve probably already talked to one without even realizing it. On paper, it’s the easiest thing to sell. You walk in to see the boss, tell him exactly how much

15:27

Speaker A

he’s losing every week, and offer to stop the bleeding. There’s no pitch, just a calculation. You can even call him before going to talk to him, and if he doesn't answer, you've already won.

15:35

Speaker A

Because then you go see him and say, listen, I called you, I was a potential customer, and you didn't answer. So, how do you build a business like this?

15:41

Speaker A

Well, before, you had to understand a whole stack of software. Today, it’s almost zero-code with tools like Vapi.

15:48

Speaker A

You just have to train the agent on its job, what it says, the questions it asks, and what to do with the answers.

15:53

Speaker A

Then, you give it the calendar and the company's info. You set up call forwarding, and that’s it. It's live.

16:00

Speaker A

This business I’m going to tell you about has the steepest learning curve. But that’s exactly why it pays the most, because fewer people get past the barrier, so there’s less competition, meaning you can charge more. That’s also the advantage. Remember, the

16:13

Speaker A

harder the things you do, the less competition there is. But you shouldn't do businesses that are too hard, nor too easy either. So how do you get paid ? You can charge setup fees between € 300 and € 700 per business, plus a

16:26

Speaker A

subscription of € 800 to € 1,500 per month. Which means that with 5 clients at € 1000, you are at € 5000 per month. with this business. And this model has a unique leverage: once the agent answers and fills the

16:39

Speaker A

calendar, it is impossible for the entrepreneur to stop. They can no longer do without it because it will provide them with enormous value. It is a very fast way to bring a lot of value to a business with a system that is not

16:49

Speaker A

extremely complicated either. as a result, they won't cut it off, and your clients will stay for a very, very long time. So, the positive points of this business are that it has the highest ticket on the list. The setup plus the

17:00

Speaker A

subscription becomes very interesting because a client over several months or even several years can bring you a lot.

17:07

Speaker A

Then, it becomes a part of how the company operates. Therefore, they cannot remove it, so they stay with you for a long time. Next, the return on investment is obvious. So, it is easier to sell than just classic AI. You just

17:19

Speaker A

have to show the client what it costs them not to have this service. And then , once you have built it, it can run without you once you have set up the system. Now, the negative points are that it has the steepest curve. It’s

17:30

Speaker A

not something you can understand in an hour, or learn to set up in an hour.

17:34

Speaker A

There is still a lot of learning involved. And if you want to set it up well and ensure you’re doing something good, you still have to spend some time learning about it. Then, it runs without you, but if there is a bug

17:43

Speaker A

, it breaks without you. Regardless of whether it’s 2 a.m. or noon, it’s your responsibility if the system is running. But now, there is the biggest obstacle and I have to talk about it because I want to be as transparent as

17:54

Speaker A

possible in this video and truly say what I see in the market: all this works very, very well in the United States, but in the French-speaking world—France, Belgium, Switzerland— go see a dentist and offer to replace their receptionist with a robot. go see

18:07

Speaker A

a plumber who still uses a paper calendar and talk to them about AI call forwarding, they will look at you strangely. In other words, they are not looking for this, and they may not even know it exists. And so to sell this,

18:19

Speaker A

you aren’t just selling, you are convincing. And convincing people is the longest and most expensive part of business. And you're just going to spend a lot of time trying to talk to people who don't really understand what you want to sell them. So it's early,

18:32

Speaker A

it will evolve, but today, if you want to start a business right now, you absolutely must sell something people are already looking for because, consequently, you don't need to convince them. You just need to make sure they know you exist and they will

18:45

Speaker A

buy from you. For me, for example, with Softriver, I sell logos. People arrive on my site already knowing they need a logo. I don't have to convince them. I just channel existing demand to my service, and that's why I convert

18:57

Speaker A

automatically every day without sales calls. And with voice agents in the French-speaking world, the demand doesn't exist yet. I think it will take 3 to 4 years before the market is truly ready. If you want to be ahead of the

19:09

Speaker A

curve, that's fine, it's still a very good option and you will still be able to make money. But you have to be ready to do a lot of explaining, make a lot of calls, and talk to a lot of people

19:16

Speaker A

before having a truly fluid business. And a quick but important side note: I'm going through each business quite quickly because otherwise the video would be 2 hours long. But if you want details on the one I recommend, I made

19:28

Speaker A

a much more detailed 20-minute video on one business in particular, and I highly recommend you watch it if you're very interested in the business. It's the second link in the description. I'm sharing it entirely for free; you'll see why. Anyway, let's continue. So we

19:42

Speaker A

just saw a business that is a bit more difficult, even if it is very good.

19:45

Speaker A

Let's move on to something simpler. Which brings me to business number 4: AI digital products. All the businesses we've seen so far have one thing in common. The money exists because you keep showing up and working every day.

19:58

Speaker A

But a digital product is different. You build it once and it sells to the next person the same way it did to the last.

20:05

Speaker A

For example, an ebook, a course, a template, a paid community, or a tool. You make it once and you can technically sell it infinitely. And what AI changes with this is that before, building it took months. I really had to, I created a program

20:18

Speaker A

myself; it literally took me 3 months locked in my room to do it. It required a team to produce it, a platform, and a lot of time. And today, AI helps you with your research, structuring your ideas, and outputting a first draft.

20:31

Speaker A

And that is real. But be careful, though, that it doesn't change it too much. It doesn't give you the expertise , because at the end of the day, it's expertise that people buy in a course or a digital product. Now, how do you

20:43

Speaker A

sell a digital product? Either to your own audience if you have one, or on a digital product marketplace, or a less well-known method: using someone else's audience by giving them a cut of every sale. And so, concretely, how do you

20:56

Speaker A

get paid? € 10,000 per month with a € 500 product and 20 sales, or 10 sales at € 1,000. Once the product is made, that's the huge advantage of this business: each sale costs you almost nothing. Plus, no shipping, no service

21:09

Speaker A

to manage. Now, here are the positive points of this business. As we said, there is zero cost per sale, whether you sell to one person or 10,000. There is no ceiling linked to your working hours. Scaling up won't require more

21:21

Speaker A

work, and depending on how you do it, you don't need a team, equipment, or shipping. Now, the downsides are that even with AI, you need real expertise and, above all, credibility. People aren't just going to buy a PDF and

21:35

Speaker A

spend their money on something they could get from ChatGPT with a prompt. And often, people don't just buy the expertise, they also buy the credibility of the person selling that expertise. Second downside, you need an audience, or at least be credible

21:48

Speaker A

enough to partner with someone who has one. Next, if you use AI too much just to churn out a quick PDF and sell it, you're not providing any value. And lastly, a winning product isn't guaranteed on the first try. It often

22:01

Speaker A

takes several attempts before you succeed. And there is still a big trap with digital products. I know we hear about it quite a bit on social media. I personally have a coaching program that is, in a way, a mix between a digital

22:12

Speaker A

product and a service. And it works very well for me and for my students because, obviously, being mentored— especially in business but also in life —is absolutely essential. Everyone I know who has succeeded in business has a mentor, they’ve been mentored, and

22:27

Speaker A

I myself have paid a lot of money to people to help me move further and faster. But now, go to any marketplace.

22:34

Speaker A

You have 10,000 AI-generated ebooks on how to be productive, no one buys them, and those who do buy them ask for a refund the next day. Why? Because there is nothing in them. Look at what is happening on YouTube with 100%AI

22:46

Speaker A

faceless channels. The algorithm buries them, they get demonetized in a few weeks. People in general are tired of empty AI content. For products, it's the same thing. What you need to understand is that a product or service always sells if it solves a real

23:00

Speaker A

problem better than what already exists or for less money. AI can help you write it, but it cannot decide if it's worth anything. That, it is up to you to put in the work to ensure that it has value. And it is very important for

23:12

Speaker A

me to share this, but in business, you must want to provide value. You shouldn't want to launch a business and tell yourself, "I'm going to take money here and there," or "I need a way to generate cash." Because the people who

23:23

Speaker A

think like that never succeed. On the other hand, if you reflect and say, " How can I help people? How can I launch a business that really brings something , that really has a quality service, that really has a differentiating

23:33

Speaker A

element compared to what you can find on the market?" then, you have something good. Then, you are providing value, and often when you provide value , the money follows behind. Now, the next business we are going to see is

23:45

Speaker A

the most profitable on the whole list, and it is also the one I advise against a little bit if you are starting completely and you don't really have expertise or experience. And that is AI agent development. So here, we are

23:57

Speaker A

stepping it up a notch. Companies pay you to build AI agents. And be careful, I'm not talking about a chatbot or a site. I'm talking about agents that perform specific tasks in place of the boss. In other words, you automate the

24:10

Speaker A

repetitive tasks of a business. For example, sorting through an inbox and responding to simple company requests.

24:16

Speaker A

Processing invoices and quotes, qualifying incoming inquiries, messaging leads to screen calls, or following up with clients who haven't replied. And right now, the market is exploding. In French-speaking regions, it has become a priority for businesses . To scale, become more efficient, and

24:30

Speaker A

optimize. And here, you have to understand what you're actually selling . You don't sell AI, because people don't yet precisely understand what AI means or how it can help them. You sell —and this is very important to note

24:42

Speaker A

—you sell a solution to their problem using AI. That is both the honest truth of what we do and, furthermore, how we should always be selling. People who just say "I sell AI" or "I sell AI services" sell to no one. But those who

24:58

Speaker A

say "I solve this critical problem for you using AI," they are the ones generating big money. So, for example, your quotes go out automatically in 5 minutes instead of 2 days. The business owner understands when you talk to them

25:10

Speaker A

like that. But if you just say "an AI agent," they won't understand, and they won't buy something they don't grasp.

25:16

Speaker A

And why do companies pay a premium for this? Just look at the expenses of any SME. An agent doing the work of a part-timer at € 1,500 a month, you charge them € 1,000 a month. The owner saves, you profit, and the

25:27

Speaker A

company can grow without hiring. So, concretely, how does it work? 1, you choose a niche. It could be accounting firms, real estate agents, or e-commerce businesses. 2, you find a repetitive task they do every day. 3, you learn to automate it. 4, you

25:42

Speaker A

implement this automation for them, one by one. And how are you paid? Well, by project, plus a monthly subscription for maintenance. You can realistically make € 5,000 to € 20,000 a month with this business. It’s something we see quite often. The pros: if you

25:57

Speaker A

succeed, the profitability is massive. It’s almost the most profitable on the list because you bring high value to companies that can pay. Also, competition is low because most people can't even explain what it is, as it's difficult; people are looking elsewhere

26:11

Speaker A

. And three, the longevity is massive because that's where AI is heading, so you're perfectly positioned to crush it in the coming years. Now, the downsides are that you need real technical skills , and that isn't learned in a weekend.

26:25

Speaker A

You also need to understand how a business works and how to automate it. You can't just show up with zero experience and claim you can automate someone else's company. You need real expertise. Mind you, that doesn't mean if you have no expertise today, you

26:40

Speaker A

can't develop it. It just means that if you decide to launch this business, expect to spend some time learning, talking to a lot of people, and getting trained. Next, you are, once again, fully responsible. If there's a problem

26:51

Speaker A

in the system, well, it falls on you, and ultimately, it's a bit complex. So if you're just starting out, definitely keep that in mind. If you already have skills, go for it; it's the best. But if like 80%of the people watching this

27:03

Speaker A

video you have no skills, you're going to spend a lot of time learning before earning your first euro. And six months without results is a bit too long for the human brain. And that's where the resistance sets in. You find excuses

27:14

Speaker A

and move on to something else. 90%of people quit before that. Not because they're useless, but just because it takes too long. The right business to start with, okay, is one where you can sell starting this week. That is

27:25

Speaker A

extremely important. And learn while delivering, not one where you learn for six months hoping to sell someday. Once again, it's a great business, but be careful with that. And if you have no technical skills but know how to talk

27:38

Speaker A

to people, the 6th one seems made for you. And that is AI consulting. Look at the comments on any video about AI.

27:46

Speaker A

Bosses know they should be using AI. They just don't know where to start, and you can be that person. What companies currently have today is a problem of clarity. They know something is happening with AI and they don't

28:00

Speaker A

know what to do or where to start. And at the end of the day, that's what they pay for: clarity. I have a very good childhood friend of mine. He actually became an AI consultant at a firm in

28:09

Speaker A

Paris that specializes in large companies, and large corporations are really spending millions right now just for that service. My friend didn't go to school for AI, he just taught himself and started giving advice to companies. So what you actually do is

28:25

Speaker A

go into a company, look at their operations, systems, and processes, find every corner where AI can save time, and then set it up or hand it off . Okay, the light is back on. So, how do you get paid? You can charge 1,000

28:40

Speaker A

to 3,000 euros for audits, 5,000 for system implementations, and charge a monthly retainer. So why is this one of the most profitable models? Because there's a lot of meat on the bone. When you get into a company and see all

28:51

Speaker A

their problems, you can sell them a service here, a service there, and another one there. It’s not just a transaction, it’s a relationship you’re building. The advantage of consulting is that you aren't ultimately responsible for the system or whether the company moves forward.

29:06

Speaker A

You just have to see what’s happening and advise them on what you think should be done with AI right now. Here are the positive aspects of this business. It’s among the most profitable on this list. There are very

29:17

Speaker A

few qualified people who can say they specialize in this niche. So there is very little competition. Consulting will always be necessary. AI isn't going to slow down. So it’s a business that will last a very long time. And if you already have

29:27

Speaker A

experience in a field, it’s a great starting point. As for the downsides, credibility, we’ll get back to that in a moment. Also, it requires a lot of training. It’s complex, time-consuming, and not inherently recurring. It’s really one of the

29:43

Speaker A

areas where many people are starting great AI agencies and succeeding. But fundamentally, it remains a somewhat complex business. But do you notice something? Of the six businesses we’ve seen so far, they either require you to do the work yourself or

29:57

Speaker A

demand expertise. That’s the problem we see everywhere with UGC and clipping . You’re the one producing content every single day. The last business we’re going to look at requires neither; no need to be an expert or do all the work yourself. And that is

30:13

Speaker A

business number seven: AI job servicing . The best business to start isn't selling AI; it's using AI to deliver services people already want to buy, where literally hundreds, or even thousands of people wake up in the morning saying, "I need to buy X or Y,"

30:30

Speaker A

and they can't find a good price or a suitable solution. It's called drop servicing. Let me explain. Drop servicing, in a nutshell, is selling a service you don't perform yourself.

30:41

Speaker A

It’s exactly like Airbnb. Airbnb makes billions. They don't own a single apartment. They just connect the apartment with the client. They guarantee the quality and handle the marketing. That’s all they do, and they make billions. Until now, drop

30:56

Speaker A

servicing meant taking a freelancer's service and reselling it for more. The only way to do drop servicing so far was to find freelancers in countries with a low cost of living and resell their services in countries where living is expensive, then take your cut

31:10

Speaker A

and keep the difference. But today, you can do this using AI. And I'll explain why it works in three reasons. First, demand has exploded. Whether for 100%AI services or digital services in general , everyone is getting on board. All

31:26

Speaker A

companies, freelancers, and e-commerce stores need a website, clients, content , and visuals. The list is endless. The world of digital services is exploding.

31:35

Speaker A

Next, the supply in the French-speaking market is poor. Go ask any agency how long it takes for a website. They'll tell you 3 weeks, a month, € 4,000, and use jargon no one understands. The market is saturated with providers who

31:50

Speaker A

are slow, expensive, or both. It’s a real disaster. And so, AI has changed the cost and speed of things. The site that took a month can be delivered in 3 days, and what cost thousands of euros to produce now only costs a € 50

32:04

Speaker A

subscription. Previously, a classic agency—and still today, because no one in France is innovating—It's crazy how everyone is doing nothing.

32:12

Speaker A

But a site costs € 3,000 to € 5,000 . It's delivered in a month with jargon the client doesn't understand. But with AI, you can sell the same site for € 800, delivered in 3 days, while speaking normally. You see the

32:24

Speaker A

difference and how the client completely wins here. Imagine that right now in the French-speaking world, there are maybe 300,000 people and businesses looking for someone to build their site. Literally today, for 2 or 3 weeks, they're evaluating, asking

32:36

Speaker A

friends, looking on Google, comparing prices, and you show up with the same thing, but better, faster, and cheaper.

32:43

Speaker A

But these people, they will come to you . You literally become an option for people who didn't have one. They already wanted a site; they just couldn't afford it. You see the difference with a dentist and their voice agent. There, there's nothing to

32:55

Speaker A

convince them of. There's an active market, a recurring pain point, and purchasing power. The three criteria for a good niche. And if you watch my videos, you know there's a world of difference between selling something people don't want. And the number one

33:08

Speaker A

business lesson to understand in life is that when you sell something people are already looking for, it's simple.

33:14

Speaker A

And when you try to convince people to buy something new that they don't really understand, it's extremely complicated. Yet in the online business world, I see no one talking about this, and everyone telling you to sell new things or new products that no one

33:27

Speaker A

needs. And so what we really do is we don't prompt a site on cloud in 2 seconds, okay? We use advanced tools to create sites that are better than 99%of sites online. And above all, we provide the strategy behind it. We say what to

33:43

Speaker A

highlight, how, what to say, just like in my video from last week where we take what's already working in the US to apply it in France. And on top of that, people over 40 don't create sites on cloud; they don't even have a cloud

33:55

Speaker A

subscription. You, if you spend a week or two training on it, you're already more advanced than 99%of people. And what I'm telling you once again is not speculation. It's not me inventing businesses and sharing them with you.

34:07

Speaker A

No, it's based concretely on real things. Look at Neo for example, it's just an example like that which I literally found on my phone earlier.

34:15

Speaker A

It's someone I helped. He made € 20,000 this month with the exact business I just told you about by selling websites. And it's not just websites you can sell, it's all the services people already need. Website creation, lead generation, LinkedIn

34:28

Speaker A

posts, newsletters, video editing, e-commerce product pages, articles, SEO blogs, ad visuals, sales presentations and materials, content translation, absolutely everything. And pay attention: the key is to sell just one service, not 10. Agencies that do everything are completely broke; they

34:42

Speaker A

don't make money because they can't automate anything, standardize anything , sell anything automatically, and certainly can't have clear marketing.

34:49

Speaker A

For you, it needs to be one service, one type of client, and in one week of research, you'll know more about that service than 99%of agencies. And concretely, how do you get paid? Well, per month, with 20 clients at € 800,

35:01

Speaker A

you're at € 16,000 in revenue. With just 10 clients, you're already at € 8,000 in revenue. And why € 800?

35:08

Speaker A

Because at € 800, you don't need sales calls, you don't need 15,000 pieces of proof, and you don't need 3 weeks of negotiation. It's a price point where the guy says yes or no in 5 minutes, because naturally, the more

35:17

Speaker A

expensive you sell, the more people will deliberate and so on. At 800, you fill up quickly. And above all, where it gets extremely interesting is that since we use AI, a classic agency with a 20%margin, we can have a 90%margin or

35:29

Speaker A

even more. An agency pays for salaries, offices, and freelancers; they operate at a 20%margin. For you, your cost is literally just your AI subscription and a little bit of your time at the start.

35:38

Speaker A

And most importantly, you're positioning yourself for the future because AI will keep improving, and when the tools are even better, those who make millions won't be the ones starting then, but those who already have the clients, the reputation, and

35:50

Speaker A

the systems. That’s you, if you start now. So, the pros of this business are that the demand already exists. You have no one to convince. Next, zero startup costs; the client pays, and then you deliver. No technical skills

36:03

Speaker A

required. AI does the execution. You provide the idea and the client. You only need a week at most to master the tool and understand how to do better than the others, and you're good to go.

36:12

Speaker A

Then, you can sell 7 weeks literally while being cheaper and faster than all the competition. Which means it's an obvious choice for people to buy from you. And on top of that, depending on the services you sell, it's recurring.

36:25

Speaker A

Meaning that every month, you don't need to find new clients. Now, the downsides of this business are that it's a service, so your time costs money, but AI multiplies what you do in an hour and you can also hire to

36:36

Speaker A

delegate. Next, if you deliver generic output from AI without thinking, you'll last a month, you'll have unhappy clients. You still have to dive into the tools and spend a little time understanding how to do quality work.

36:49

Speaker A

And lastly, it's so simple that people underestimate it. They want a crazy, unique, slightly different, stylish business, and so in the end, people prefer not to make any money. This business might not be sexy, but that's exactly why it pays off. Now, let's

37:03

Speaker A

move on to the ranking. We've seen the —we'll rate them on four criteria, each out of five. So, we'll have a maximum score of 20. First, we have complexity. Can you start without skills, or do you need months of

37:16

Speaker A

learning before your first euro? 5 if it's simple, and 1 if it's very complex . Next, we have scalability. Can you go from 5 to 50 clients without multiplying your hours by 10? And is it truly interesting financially? And can

37:30

Speaker A

you grow this company without too much difficulty? Next, we have competition. Are you all alone, or are you fighting against 1,000 people from day one? 5 means the path is completely clear. And then, surely the most important, is the

37:44

Speaker A

interest. Are people already looking for this service in the French-speaking world today? Or do you have to convince them? So remember, we have AIUGC first.

37:54

Speaker A

In terms of complexity, it's very simple, it's easy to set up, there's just a bit of TikTok skill to know, understanding a good hook, a good script. But overall, if you spend a lot of time on TikTok or Instagram today,

38:04

Speaker A

it's not a business that will be complicated for you to understand. Then , in terms of scalability, it's not bad but it depends a lot on you. And to be able to charge what we intend to charge , we already need a lot of volume and a

38:14

Speaker A

lot of work. So it’s going to be a bit tricky to really build a company that delivers a high output. Now, in terms of competition, that's where it gets a bit more complicated with this business. Since it's simple to set up,

38:25

Speaker A

I can only give it a 1 out of 5 because there's still a lot of competition, many people getting into it, and especially the direct competition from the tools themselves that do everything from A to Z. And so, you have to manage

38:36

Speaker A

to make videos that are better than just a prompt. Now, in terms of interest, there is a huge amount, but I only gave it 2 out of 5 because the interest is still mainly on classic UGC and not really on AI UGC, and I think

38:48

Speaker A

that will increase a bit over time. Overall, we are at 10/20, which isn't bad. Which means it's a business to launch, just maybe not the most optimal one. Next, we have AI clipping. There, in terms of complexity, we're doing

39:00

Speaker A

very, very well. It’s easy for everyone to understand. Again, if you're a "brain rot" type and you've spent a lot of time on TikTok or Instagram, it’s something that will be relatively easy to set up. In terms of scalability, it's exactly the same

39:12

Speaker A

as for UGC; it’s the same problem. We can do a lot, but there is already a lot of volume required to be able to charge what we want to charge. Now, in terms of competition, it's the same here; it's a bit complicated because

39:23

Speaker A

since it's simple to set up, it's very accessible and there are many 16, 17, 20-year-olds doing this business. But there is a lot, a lot of interest, okay ? 5 out of 5 for huge value, and a creator today like Kai Cenat, for

39:37

Speaker A

example, can have dozens, twenties, if not hundreds of clippers just for him. That's why we have a score of 13/20.

39:45

Speaker A

Now, AI voice agents. This is a bit more complex than the two businesses we just looked at. You need to know how to set up a system and how to talk to businesses, but it's not deathly complicated either. In terms of

39:57

Speaker A

scalability, it's quite good because you just have to set up the system once and then it more or less runs by itself . Which means that each month, we can really take on a lot of new clients without having to spend too much time.

40:07

Speaker A

In terms of competition, it's very good . There are very few people in France yet, practically no one. But where it gets more complex is in terms of interest. Interest is just starting to build. I think that within 2 or 3 years

40:18

Speaker A

, it will be a total explosion, but for now, it remains a somewhat early market . That's why we have a total of 11/20.

40:25

Speaker A

Now, let's move on to AI digital products. There, in terms of complexity , it's a bit mixed. I gave it 3 out of 5 because it's a bit hard to define. It depends a lot on who you are. For me,

40:35

Speaker A

obviously, launching a digital product is going to be relatively simple because I have business expertise in various fields. But for someone with zero expertise, it will be very complicated to set up this business or to find a creator or to build an

40:46

Speaker A

audience to be able to sell. Now, in terms of scalability, it's extremely good. As I said, you just have to build the product once and you can sell it an infinite number of times. However, in terms of competition, it's catastrophic

40:58

Speaker A

because if you don't have your own expertise, it means you're literally competing with AI. And if you create a PDF on this or that subject, well, you're competing against ChatGPT and Claude. So in other words, you have the

41:09

Speaker A

worst competition. And in terms of interest too, it's very bad because by definition, there isn't any interest yet for your digital product. Unless you are already someone who has a lot of expertise, once again, and a lot of

41:20

Speaker A

credibility. If tomorrow Charles Leclerc releases a PDF on how to be good at karting or driving, obviously there will be massive interest. If you currently don't have any particular expertise, there won't really be any interest in what you have to offer.

41:32

Speaker A

That's why we have a score of 9/20. Next, we have AI Agent Development. There, in terms of complexity, as we saw, it's quite complex but it's very scalable. Once you set it up, it runs on its own. There isn't much

41:43

Speaker A

competition because it scares people a little bit. It's a bit complex so not many people are getting into it, and the interest is quite high. Not just because there's specific interest in AI , but because companies naturally have

41:54

Speaker A

a huge interest in solving their problems, and AI can help you solve those problems. So for that, we've got 14/20, the best score so far. Next, we have AI consulting. In terms of complexity, it's very complex too, slightly less so because we aren't

42:08

Speaker A

necessarily implementing the system ourselves. We’re just providing advice, but still, it requires expertise. It's scalable because since there's no hands-on work, so to speak, you just look at a business and give advice; you can take on many clients

42:20

Speaker A

and charge relatively high rates, meaning you can do quite well. In terms of competition, it's very good, excellent even. There are still very few people doing this in France, and in terms of interest, we're at 3 out of 5.

42:31

Speaker A

Companies need clarity, they need to know where they're going, but we aren't solving an urgent, pressing problem in the life of these companies today, and that's why I didn't give it a 5/5. So we have a total of 12/20, and we arrive

42:44

Speaker A

at our final business: AI drop servicing. And in terms of complexity, we're in a great spot here because we'll use AI to deliver simpler services like website creation, LinkedIn content writing, or SEO. So we'll be selling a service that is, by

42:59

Speaker A

nature, much simpler, and we'll use AI in an advanced, sophisticated way to deliver those services well. And overall, in one week of learning, you can learn to deliver this service excellently. In terms of scalability, this is also very good because AI will

43:11

Speaker A

do 90%of the work, so we can take on many clients. In terms of competition, this is also excellent because all our competition is still old-school, charging € 3,000 for sites and taking 3 weeks; they aren't up to date with

43:23

Speaker A

the new tools. And so, because we're advanced, we're in the online business, we understand the markets, and we watch what's happening in the US, we position ourselves so there's no competition at all. Because when you sell 10 times

43:34

Speaker A

cheaper than everyone else and you're faster and better, you naturally eliminate all the competition. It’s like if you opened a bakery tomorrow in Paris, had the best bread that was cheaper than all the competition, and delivered to homes faster than anyone

43:46

Speaker A

else. I can assure you that your bakery will be number one in Paris. And finally, there is the interest. Here again, it's excellent because we are selling services people are already looking for. Remember, that is the main nuance. These are services where people

43:59

Speaker A

literally searched on Google, "I need a website." Every day in France, Belgium, and Switzerland, hundreds of thousands of people search for different services . So we don't need to create demand or convince anyone. We just need to make

44:11

Speaker A

sure they know we exist and sell them our service. And so, that brings us to a total of 18/20. It really is an excellent business on all these points.

44:21

Speaker A

But there is also a criterion I didn't really mention, which is the value we provide. With this business, fundamentally, we provide a huge amount of value. Yes, look, I'll show you my dog. Say hello. Say hello, Oli. Say

44:37

Speaker A

hello to the camera. Go on, go on, I'm finishing my video, I'll be there. So now, we arrive at the final ranking. We have drop servicing at 18, agent development at 14, and clipping at 13.

44:53

Speaker A

So, in 7th place, we have AI digital products with 9/20. In 6th, we have AI UGC. 5th, we have AI voice agents, AI consulting in 4th, AI clipping in 3rd, AI agent development in 2nd, and AI drop servicing at 18/20, far ahead in

45:10

Speaker A

first place. And you might notice something, number 2 and number 1 are similar in competition and interest.

45:15

Speaker A

The difference is really the complexity . One requires 6 months of learning before your first euro, while the other you can sell this week to people already searching. Simply because we are selling simpler services that people are already looking for. And the

45:28

Speaker A

cool part is that since it's simple, everyone ignores these services even though they are literally in demand.

45:33

Speaker A

Even though they are extremely in demand. So if you have the choice, you can either be stylish or you can succeed. And an important disclaimer: it’s not for nothing that I recommend this business; it’s because it's the one where I personally see the most

45:45

Speaker A

beginners succeeding today. I wouldn't recommend this if I didn't literally have the proof in front of me every day . And besides, you have to understand that those who succeed are often coached and supported. It's obviously clear that when you have people helping

45:59

Speaker A

you launch your business, you definitely go faster and have a better chance of succeeding. And by the way, as a side note, my team and I have a few spots left to personally coach students. If you're motivated and want

46:09

Speaker A

to launch a business, and you'd like my team and me to personally help you launch your drop servicing business from A to Z, you can apply. It's the first link in the description. It's quick to do. We only want to work with

46:21

Speaker A

a certain type of person who is really ready to take action. So if you think that's you, fill out the form. And with that, I hope you liked this video. If you like this kind of more in-depth format with a bit more detail where I

46:33
