Chapters
There is no way to make money fast or easy, but there are smarter ways that are faster and easier relative to others.
A side job provides stability and freedom, reducing reliance on a single conventional job.
To earn $100/day, you can either invest a lot of money (e.g., buy an apartment) with little effort, or invest no money but huge effort (e.g., develop software). The smartest ways balance moderate investment and effort.
Dropshipping allows you to start an e-commerce store without inventory. You create a Shopify store, connect a supplier via AutoDS, and sell products that are shipped directly to customers.
An AI agency offers chatbots and automations to businesses, charging €2,000 for installation plus monthly maintenance. No coding required; tools like Voiceflow, N8N, or Make are used.
Building a personal brand on YouTube creates evergreen content that generates passive income and authority. Example: a 2-year-old ChatGPT tutorial still earns €34/month and can sell products.
Mix evergreen content (long-term value), viral content (short-term spikes), and community content (builds trust) to grow a personal brand.
Apply the Lean Startup method: test ideas fast, pivot based on feedback, but don't jump between opportunities without commitment.
The smartest ways to make money from home involve balancing investment and effort. Dropshipping, AI agencies, and personal branding are proven models, but success requires rapid testing and focus on providing real value.

[00:01] transparent with you. There is no way to make money fast or make easy money. What does exist are ways to earn money faster or to earn money more easily. And in this video I'm going to share with you
[00:15] the smartest ways to make money. Ultimately, when I say intelligent, I mean that these are the methods that will allow you to achieve your goal in the fastest and easiest way . And in this case, your goal is to
[00:27] make money. I get asked a lot what the best way to make today, is 28 years old, and I've been setting up kinds of businesses since before I turned 18. It's something that has always fascinated me and continues to
[00:40] fascinate me. And this has led me to kinds of sectors over the past 10 years, from setting up a restaurant, which is ultimately a hybrid between a digital and a physical business, to 100%
[00:56] digital businesses, such as personal branding, among others. And in the end, this has allowed me to have tested different business models so that I can share with you in this video what is the fastest and easiest way to make
[01:09] faster and easier, I mean smarter, since that's the way that will get us to our goal in the fastest and easiest way. having several businesses simultaneously allows me to be impartial, since I
[01:23] am not married to one type of business, nor am I going to say this business is the best and this one is the worst. The reality is that all businesses work as long as they are a reality is that some businesses will require more time to
[01:37] achieve results, while other types of businesses will require less time to achieve understand is that today most people are looking for a conventional job because what they are really looking for is security; they are looking for
[01:50] having a normal job will allow them to have a fixed amount of money every month and will give them that stability. But the reality behind all this is that there is nothing that gives you more security than having a
[02:03] we have a complementary job, this generates the money with our traditional job and we will also be earning money with that with our regular job we earn $1,500 every month. With
[02:18] our side job we earn an additional $500 every month. we're working, instead of earning $ 15,500, we'll be earning $2,000 a month. It's quite a bit more money. But above all, what having a supplementary job allows us to do
[02:32] point we are fired from our job because we don't do the job well, or the company goes bankrupt, or whatever happens, we will have that economic stability, since we will have another source of income that will give us considerable stability. And in addition
[02:45] working in a job we don't like just for money, since by having some stability with or supplementary work with another source of want to work on and what we don't want to work on, and we won't be forced to
[02:59] for money. I truly believe that looking for the fastest and easiest way to make money doesn't have to be a bad thing. If somewhere, we'll turn on the GPS and take the fastest route to reach
[03:12] wrong with that. The bad thing about it is looking for money without saying, "Hey, I want to have passive income to earn money every month, but without doing anything." So, this is a person who doesn't want to invest
[03:26] wants to earn money without having to do absolutely anything. So, it's something looking for the fastest and easiest way to make money by starting a working hard is undoubtedly extremely
[03:40] important, but we have to work hard in the right business, since nowadays the people who work the hardest are not the ones who earn the most money. Therefore, working hard is certainly important, but
[03:53] . Okay, to understand this, I have my tablet here and I'm going to make a table so that everything is perfectly clear. So, I have it here and let's see what's next. Let's say our goal is to earn
[04:09] $100 a day, okay? We would be talking about $3,000 a month, as a complementary job to generate extra income with a business or that ends up becoming our
[04:21] main business. We need to understand the following table, okay? This [music] is more, this is less, and this is more. And we this is less, and this is more. And we here have the effort.
[04:40] huge effort. What's going on ? There are ways to earn money that will be listed throughout this table. But the thing is, in return we have another line here, which is money. And
[04:57] when I say money, I don't mean the money we're going to earn, but the money we're going to have to invest in order to get these $100 a day. a day. So, if we go to the
[05:09] far left, we can see that here we have a very large investment of money and a very small effort, which would basically be the line here, which is what happens, this line here would be buying an apartment. If
[05:22] uh, for example, in the building I 'm in right now, there are some really expensive apartments. So, if I simply take money, buy an apartment, and put this apartment up for rent for $000 a month, well, that's it
[05:38] , I'm generating $100 a day and I don't have to put in absolutely any apartment I like, buy it, go to the notary, sign, and that's it. I rent it out and start generating this without having to do anything at all. What's going on
[05:51] put a huge amount of money on the table . And then on the other hand we have the complete opposite, right? Well, in this case we would be making a investing no money at all. This, for example, would be the case of a person
[06:06] who knows how to program perfectly, is a really good programmer and is going to develop software. So, to develop software, you're going to have to put in developing the software for a very long time , testing, testing,
[06:18] testing until the moment when everything works and he'll be able to generate these $100 a day, these $000 a day without having made an investment of money or practically no investment of money. So, as
[06:31] achieve this goal, but we take into account both time and something that generates this amount of money, we have to invest both time going to look for in this video are the smartest ways. And the
[06:44] smartest ways are found here at this intermediate point where we will have to make an investment of money that will range from 0 to 200 of initial investment and will allow us to achieve this goal. So,
[06:59] going to make the minimum possible investment of money and the minimum possible investment of effort, and we find ourselves at this point, and that's what I'm going to three realistic ways to earn money from home. These are all things
[07:13] based on my experience, and I'm not going to talk about apps that pay you a few cents for watching ads or anything like that where you'll be able to earn very, very little money. Instead, I'm going to talk about realistic things, things that
[07:25] work, things that people do, and things that allow people to going to see in this video. If you find the content interesting, feel free to leave a like. And now we really begin.
[07:37] One of the most popular ways to earn money from home is exactly does this entail? Dropshipping involves us creating we will be selling a series of products that we do not have in
[07:51] enters our online store and buys a product, we will supplier, and the supplier will send that product directly to the customer who bought it. And we will keep the difference between the
[08:06] at which we buy the product from the supplier. It really works the same as any store, whether it's an online store or a physical store. Obviously, and I want to be perfectly clear about this, the ideal and
[08:18] our own online store with our own products, with our own design and packaging, keeping everything in our home or office, and
[08:31] shipping each purchase directly from there. that we're looking for a business that allows us to start with a relatively low investment and minimal effort.
[08:44] e-commerce brand with products already in stock, we're going to be running a , we're going to have to make a huge investment in products. We're not just going to buy five products, but we're going to have to buy a
[08:57] a big investment to bring in all those products. And then, if we don't sell those products, we're going to be stuck with them and lose a lot of money. Therefore, dropshipping allows us to start an
[09:10] e-commerce business in a really simple way and above all without having to make an a great advantage of dropshipping is that we can set up an online store with several products, and if we see that the online store works,
[09:22] that people are buying them, we can evolve to having our own e-commerce brand with stock, but we'll do it with the money we've earned from Therefore, I think it's a spectacular way to get started in the world
[09:37] dropshipping is to create an online store. Today, with an we can create an online store in a matter of minutes and something spectacular and goes hand in hand with that faster way of being able to
[09:52] Video Store, you have it directly in the description and it's click on the description link, arrive at the tool's page, and we have the account, we choose the niche we want
[10:07] following the steps in the tool, what we have to do is create an account on Shopify. Shopify is a platform that allows us to create used by large multinational corporations. So, what this tool does
[10:20] is create an online store for us within Shopify, but what it does is make our create the online store for us so we don't have to do it and the account within Shopify, we will have to copy the
[10:33] paste it into the tool. And then we need to Shopify is completely free for 3 pay anything at all, and then we have to pay either a month or a month for 3
[10:48] normal price. Next, we install the Bill Store app within Shopify, and the store will start being created automatically. And once it's ready. But now we're missing the supplier. The supplier is a
[11:01] connect directly with our Shopify store. This connection will Shopify store to sell products from the supplier, and every time someone buys our products within Shopify,
[11:14] ship them directly to the customer. Therefore, obtaining a supplier is mandatory if we want to do a provider works, we will follow the steps of the tool and what
[11:26] on Autods, which will be the provider. Creating an account is very simple; we simply enter our email and password, then select we will connect that provider directly with Shopify, and then
[11:39] select the plan. We'll have 3 free days on any plan we the account, selected the plan and are already inside Auto DS directly with Shopify. Next, following the steps in the
[11:53] remove the password so that people can enter our online store. And once this is done, we have everything set up. We have an fully connected. However, what might happen is that the
[12:06] automatically added to your online store are products that you don't like or that you would within your online store. To add other products to your online store, we supplier itself. If we go into Autodes, we'll see that there are several
[12:21] of products. This is the marketplace area where all the find winning products is through the TikTok Analytics area, which is also a new feature within Auto DS. This area allows us to
[12:36] analyze the products being sold on TikTok. We will be able to filter by number of sales or even by revenue. Therefore, we will be able to see products that are currently selling, and within those
[12:48] sales the product has, the amount of money that product has generated, and we will even see which videos are selling that product. Therefore, an extremely interesting feature for
[13:00] what I recommend, and what's easier, is to go into the handpicked products section. The handpicket products area features products selected by the car team itself, and these are winning products. A
[13:12] sales potential, and from the Handpicket Products area, we can see products that have already been selected. If we enter a product, we will be important information. For example, we will be able to see if it is a product that is saturated
[13:26] other stores are selling that product, or we'll even be able to see what ads those stores are running to sell that product. For example, this product has a video on TikTok with over 40,000 likes. Therefore,
[13:39] a product that people are interested in and, therefore, a product that has the potential to be sold. And the last step of the tool you have important, as it gives you access to a complete and free course of more than 27
[13:53] setup, how to make payment passes, we talk about traffic, how to capture paid traffic, basically with Metaads, with TikTok Ads, with Google Ads, but we also talk about organic traffic, how to get
[14:06] without having to invest in advertising. We have interviewed this free course, and the truth is that the results they have achieved are we've looked at dropshipping, let's move on to the second way to make money
[14:20] from home, which involves setting up an artificial intelligence agency. There's a lot of information out there about AI agencies, but let's see what this is all about exactly. An artificial intelligence agency is nothing more than
[14:32] been, a marketing agency. It's an agency that will in exchange for those services, the companies will give them money, they will pay them, artificial intelligence. The most common services are chatbots, both
[14:48] audio chatbots, which are usually used for customer service. A text chatbot is simply a company that will have a WhatsApp account—it could be be through a social network, it could even be on its own website—that
[15:01] we will configure so that people can talk directly, let's say, whatever that company needs. It could you can reserve a table via WhatsApp. It could even be a company that uses
[15:14] e-commerce business, so that customers who have problems or don't know where their order is can talk directly via WhatsApp. This would be a an audio chatbot, where we call that restaurant, speak
[15:27] artificial intelligence, and that artificial intelligence can make a reservation for us and know exactly if that day, for example, it's going to rain so we don't have to reserve a table on tables are reserved, what the schedule is, and it can do everything
[15:41] automatically. Alternatively, another type of service that is really popular is automation, such as being able to automate invoices or similar. This is a booming market and it is estimated that by 2030 this will be a
[15:55] $50 billion market. The best part is that you don't need to know how to program to create these chatbots or , because nowadays with tools like Cloud, N8N, or Make, we can create all these things, all these automations, without
[16:10] first thing you need to do to get started in this business model is to identify what repetitive tasks companies have. These are usually tasks related to customer service, support, or similar.
[16:23] those repetitive tasks are, what you will have to do is create an automation that solves these repetitive tasks. Therefore, if you have an automation system that will allow companies to save time
[16:35] or money, or even both, companies will be happy to pay you, to give you this automation that will save them both time and money. A €2,000 to install this type of automation. Furthermore,
[16:50] automations require maintenance to ensure everything adding, removing, or adjusting anything to ensure optimal performance. Therefore, the vast majority of IAS agencies not only
[17:04] charge for installation but also for but also for ensure the automation is always functioning correctly.
[17:16] many people talk about AI agencies, but what I find really interesting is the concept of an agency rather than an AI agency. Undoubtedly, trend, and there are certainly many things to do related to
[17:31] see anything wrong with setting up an artificial intelligence agency, but what I find interesting is setting up an agency in general. An agency doesn't necessarily have to install artificial intelligence systems; it
[17:43] can also create websites, design a company's branding, and handle meta-ad traffic for various companies. Therefore , the interesting thing here is the fact of offering services to companies, and the
[17:55] best way to offer services to companies is to offer a service that either money, or saves it money and therefore makes it earn money, or saves it time and consequently makes it
[18:07] money. But even though the agency model is really interesting, and it's really important and it's not usually talked about that much. And agency and in the end the agency is ourselves and we offer
[18:21] these services, we're going to have really high margins and therefore it's going to be is create an automation for a company and this company pays me €2,000 and I am the one who goes to find that client, I am the one who closes the sale and I am the one who
[18:34] offers the service and who creates the automation, I am going to earn €2,000 for expenses, so the profit margin is going to be really high, and therefore it's going to this I will need to have knowledge about
[18:48] programming skills, I will still need to know how to use these invest time in finding that client. I'm also going to have to know a little about sales to sell my services, and
[19:02] dedicate is going to be really high, but the margin is strategy we can have is to have collaborators. I'm going to sell them the artificial intelligence proposal so they can save
[19:16] time, and once I've sold that service, I'm going to hire someone else this company. This is also an option, but it has to be done right. We have to collaborate with people who are professionals because otherwise they're going to make us look bad.
[19:28] mind is that if we're going to collaborate with other people, the profit margin is going to be lower, since we're going to receive the money, we're going to have to this person, and so the margin is going to be
[19:41] the third way to earn money from home, which is to build a something really popular, it's talked about a lot, but it's undoubtedly a money that certainly isn't for everyone, since not everyone is
[19:57] willing to expose themselves for whatever reason . Undoubtedly, having a personal brand has many benefits. The most talked-about benefit is that having a products or services without having to invest in advertising, because if you have
[20:10] thanks to that content you will be able to sell anything from a clothing brand to an information product, software, whatever. This sounds very nice and it is certainly spectacular, but what we must not forget is that although
[20:23] sell products and services without having to invest in advertising, creating this content also requires time and in many cases the editing, we're going to delegate certain things. Therefore, it is something
[20:36] spectacular, but it also requires making a certain investment to achieve these results. It's also worth mentioning that the only benefit of a personal brand isn't just services without investing in advertising; it has many other advantages,
[20:48] strong authority in your industry. Let me give you the dentists' sector as an example a personal brand and a large following, then that will undoubtedly give you authority. I feel that a few years ago it was a bit strange, it was like that
[21:00] but nowadays I feel that things are turning around a bit and that dentist who has a lot of followers is actually going to have a lot how personal branding allows you to have quality traffic, since the people who are going to get to
[21:13] consume your content, are people who are going to see that content because they want to, and it's very If you're looking at Instagram or YouTube and the same end you're going to end up disliking that person , you're not going to like them,
[21:27] opposite happens. With a personal brand, you go to see that person's content and therefore you like, admire, and respect them, that person is bothering you and therefore you dislike them. And another benefit of
[21:40] personal branding is that it allows you to make incredible contacts and or even companies that you had never even imagined. To create a personal brand, you should leverage a social network. My opinion is that
[21:53] create a personal brand. There are people who tell you, "No, you're better, you're worse." building a personal brand, but I also think we should choose one and focus on one social network, because if we want to create content on YouTube,
[22:07] social networks, we'll probably do it just okay because we're not focused. So, my opinion is that the best thing is to focus solely on content for that social network well, and then we can have other social networks,
[22:21] will always have to focus on a single social network. The social network that I personally like the most is YouTube, and this is for the unlike other social networks, the content on YouTube is long-form.
[22:34] Therefore, the existence of long content usually leads to content with more value and higher quality. And the good thing about this is that evergreen content. When I talk about evergreen content, I mean content that
[22:47] other social networks, if we upload, for work. It might work for a day, it might work for a week, it might but that "r" will eventually die, since the type of content
[23:02] something faster, while, for example, on YouTube is evergreen and that can be useful to people both today and in a year or even two years. And that's evergreen content, and that's what allows you to
[23:16] gradually build a personal brand. I'm going to give you an example so that it can be we published on this same YouTube channel 2 years ago. It's a GPT Chat tutorial. Preparing this tutorial took many hours of work, including
[23:30] research, recording, and editing. It was a lot of work, and in the case of this YouTube channel, it was as much time as money. The money it cost to produce this video was about €2,500 since there are many people involved in making it
[23:43] possible to publish this video. What's going on ? Even though this video was published two years ago ( on April 14, 2024), it continues to get views today because it remains
[23:56] useful. Despite the continues to be a valuable resource that people still consume. If, for we can see that, hey, it's been seen by four people, it's very few people but it's still
[24:11] four people, or the last 48 hours, 314 people. So here I've filtered it for the last year and we can see how even though it's a really old video, it continues to get views
[24:24] every day and along with views, it also gets subscribers, and even revenue. It is true that incomes are really low. We're talking about if, for example, I put it for the last 28 days, it's €34,
[24:37] it's €34, more or less €1 per day on average. This but here, well, this is something relative. If, for example, €2 is a small amount of money, then imagine that, hey, instead of having one video or so, you have 10 videos
[24:51] or 100 videos or 1000 videos, right? Well, all of this multiplies. Or even the is to do the following. In this case, this is a completely free course, there , but imagine if something were being sold in this video , there would be
[25:04] absolutely no problem. Let's say that in this video a GBT Chat guide with the best proms is being sold, and it's a guide that costs €50. So, that guide is only bought by 1% of the people who watch the video, only
[25:16] 1%, so what it would generate is that out of these 3,600 views, 36 people would be buying it. 36 * 50 is 100. Therefore, we would be talking about this video generating €1,800 this month, a video
[25:32] that was published 2 years ago. Therefore, for me, here is the magic of although Levergreen is undoubtedly important, it shouldn't be the basis of YouTube channel should, number one, focus on providing value, because I see a
[25:48] how to increase this and I don't know what, I don't know how many, when the real key is to create content that is truly useful, that really helps the people content that is useful to people, that content is going to end up working.
[26:00] Therefore, for me, a great strategy that I have applied for the statistics, this and that, that and that and focus on providing will happen: people will go into the video, watch it, recommend it, and that's how
[26:16] Evergreen's content is certainly important and interesting, but it shouldn't be the foundation. In my opinion, it should be divided into three types of content. Number one, evergreen content, obviously. Number two, viral content,
[26:29] work really well, because this type of green content works relatively badly at the beginning, but over time it works better, whereas really well at the beginning, but stops working over time. And then, number
[26:43] three, community content. It's also important to create content that know you, so they see that you're a human being, that you're there behind the scenes. These will truly build a personal brand. A personal brand is not
[26:58] just followers, nor is it just visits. A personal brand is about having an audience that likes your content, consumes your content, and above all, trusts you. To wrap up the video, I'd like to say that all businesses really do
[27:10] work and you can make money with practically all of them, but concepts in mind. The first thing is that we need to test quickly. We can't say, well, I'm going to set up an artificial intelligence agency and spend 6 months
[27:23] perfect website and after 6 months I'm going to ask three companies if no and to give up. That makes no sense, since we're not being fast. For me, we need to be fast. Hey, I'm starting the agency by doing everything
[27:36] to the market, seeing if people buy it, and if they don't, what do they I offer the other option. and keep pivoting and applying the Link Startup method, which consists of facing our business to the market as quickly as possible and
[27:48] pivoting and changing until we find that fit between what people connects perfectly and really works. So, to do this we have to be quick, we have to test quickly. I don't like agencies anymore,
[28:01] something that catches my attention, then I try the other thing, I try the other thing, but I try really fast. But we have to implement that strategy of being quick and testing quickly, but without falling into the shiny object syndrome
[28:13] , which is our biggest enemy. What we shouldn't do is start a personal brand. They sold it to me as something amazing, but I realize it's tough, that you have to work hard, that it has downsides. Then
[28:25] agency is the best option now." So I switch agencies. I go with AA Agency, but I see it's not tells me, "No, now you have to do dropshipping. So I'm constantly switching from one thing to another,
[28:39] sense. We have to be quick, but without falling into the trap of being caught up in the " video. I really hope you found it helpful. If so Also, feel free to share this video
