7 Lazy Ways to Make Money — Full Breakdown & Transcript

[00:00] Do you know that the first television remote control was actually called Lazy Bones? Rockstar, I'm not making this up.

[00:13] In 1950, Zenith introduced a remote control. Someone essentially looked at the TV and said, You mean every time I want to change the channel, I have to actually walk over there?

[00:27] Absolutely not. And today, can you imagine buying a television without a remote control? I want you to tell me in the comments if you can. But here's an even crazier one. In the 1970s, Gary Dahl took an ordinary rock,

[00:43] put it inside a little cardboard box with some ear holes, gave people instructions on how to care for their pet rock, and became a millionaire within a matter of months.

[00:58] A rock. rock stars, somebody sold people something that they could literally pick up from the ground and made millions doing so. At some point, we have to admit that humanity has a very interesting

[01:13] relationship with effort. But here's what I've come to realize. Sometimes what we call laziness is really this. There has to be an easier way. And some of the biggest businesses in the world

[01:26] exist because somebody found a way to make something not just easier, but to do it faster, more convenient, or more automatic. So when I say I'm giving you seven of the laziest ways to make

[01:41] money in this particular era that we're living in with all the advanced technology and AI, I don't mean you're going to lie in bed and do absolutely nothing and then money is going to fall through

[01:54] you're stealing onto you. No, that's not what I'm saying. What instead I'm talking about here today with several of these that I'm going to share with you is the fact that you're going to do some work

[02:06] up front. You're going to create something. You're going to set up maybe an account. You're going to list an asset. You're going to build a profile. You're going to create a system. But once it's set up properly, the ongoing work can become much less and require little to nothing from you in a

[02:23] cases and some of what I'm about to share with you today it simply allows you to monetize things that you're already doing and at the end of the video I'm gonna pull it all together and show you how you can implement some of

[02:38] these and produce $300 in revenue in a day this is not guaranteed results are gonna vary depending on where you live where you're doing this business from your qualification, demand, pricing, execution, and keep in mind as well that this video is for

[02:55] educational purposes only. But what I'm going to share with you are options and methods that you can explore. Now that we've handled that, welcome back rock stars. It's great to have you and I'm going to jump right into the first way that you can make money in what I'm going to refer to for

[03:11] the sake of this video as the lazy way. And this is to review hotels. I want you to imagine getting an assignment that says check into this hotel, have dinner, interact with the employees,

[03:27] sleep in the room, use the facilities like the gym, the spa, and tell us exactly what happened. This job actually exists. It's called hospitality mystery shopping or hospitality evaluation.

[03:42] There are companies out there hiring independent evaluators to assess things like reservations, checking, housekeeping, food quality, staff interaction, and cleanliness.

[03:54] And what you're evaluating is whether the hotel is actually delivering the level of service it's promising to its customers. One legitimate company that's doing this now and hiring people to do this is Coily or Coil, I'm not sure how you pronounce it, but it's Coil or Coily Hospitality.

[04:12] And I'm showing you their page here on screen so that you can go search for it. And when you land on their website, as I'm showing you here on screen, you're going to select become an evaluator to get started and to explore this option.

[04:26] They operate in more than 70 countries across the globe, and their assignments actually not just cover hotels, but also resorts, restaurants, spas, cruises, and other hospitality businesses.

[04:41] Coyle or Coylee says assignments pay a fee plus whatever reimbursable expenses are specified for that particular job. Now, don't misunderstand me. This isn't necessarily Odessa. Here's a five-star vacation. Tell us whether you enjoy the pillow. The reports can be very detailed. So you actually have to pay attention and you have to do some work. But if you're already somebody who enjoys traveling, I think it's worth investigating and exploring.

[05:12] Also think about it everybody wants these opportunities so they not easy to come by But the fact that they doing this in multiple countries it means that they hiring several evaluators and it means that it possible to get paid to vacation You just going to have

[05:29] to do the work to get qualified and to get hired. Now let's move to the second lazy way that you can make money that's on our list of seven today. And this is to create something once and sell it

[05:41] multiple times. Now this is what I mean by strategic laziness. If I'm going to work hard creating something, I'd rather not have to create it every single time somebody's going to pay me

[05:55] for it. So consider creating something like a digital product or a print on demand product like I showed you how to create in this video here that I'm also going to link in the description of this video so you can reference it and learn how to do that. It could be a planner, a print-on-demand

[06:12] tumbler like this one that I sell on my website, a print-on-demand candle, a workbook, a budget, a business template, a wedding template, a children's activity pack or activity book like I showed you how to create in previous videos. You create it once, you list it online and potentially

[06:29] sell the same file or product repeatedly. Now does that mean you automatically make money? Absolutely not. You still need a good product and some customers. But the fulfillment can become largely automated, which is what makes it lazy.

[06:46] The problem though is that creating the product is only the beginning. Because now you need product listings, product images, social media and ads and promotional graphics to get the word out there.

[06:58] And suddenly, what was supposed to be a passive business where you create something once and you keep making money from it, It has you designing content every single night. And somehow, everything is supposed to look organized and well-branded like it's coming from the same company.

[07:16] And here's another frustration. A lot of AI tools make you start from zero every single time. You end up uploading the logo again, choosing your colors again, explaining the brand again,

[07:28] and you end up prompting it 10 different ways, 10 different times, and still you're sometimes fighting to get one usable result. And this is where a new tool built into Kittle that I'm going to introduce you to today comes in.

[07:44] And it is called Brand Studio. Inside Kittle, you're going to see it as Brands as I'm showing you here. Now, let me show you how to use this. But I'm going to grab my computer so as usual you can do it together.

[07:58] Now, if you want to test it yourself, you can try Kittle for free. using the link that I've placed in the description. It's going to be at the top. And if you decide to go with one of the annual plans because you're enjoying this tool as much as I have,

[08:12] you can use code KITLBRAND that I'm popping up here on screen and it's going to get you 50% off all annual plans for KITL. Now after creating your KITL account and signing in,

[08:25] right here on the homepage, we're going to select brand. Now next, I'm taking the URL for this particular product on my website. Now, you don't need to have a website to do this. You can use the URL from your Shopify or Etsy store

[08:39] or the URL from any product that you actually sell online. I will copy the URL as I'm showing you how to do here and I'm going to paste it into Kittle and select import. And that's essentially it.

[08:52] Kittle's Brand Studio pulls in, as you can see here, the logo, the colors, and the overall visual aesthetic of the brand for which you copied the logo or of the product. So instead of teaching the software

[09:05] who I am every single time I want to create something, the brand is already there and you can see right here as I'm showing you where it actually states my name on Kittle. Now let me show

[09:19] you where this becomes useful and we're going to go through a few use cases. The first one is product photography. I'm going into the on-brand section here as I'm showing you on screen and these are

[09:32] the workflows that currently work with Brand Studio. Next thing I'm selling this particular product that I'm popping up on screen. I choose a workflow and then I get this very important step.

[09:44] Apply your brand and that's the brand that it already learned about. Now the AI isn't randomly deciding what this business should look like. No, it's applying the identity Kittle already learned

[09:59] based on what we did earlier. And you're going to hit generate. And as you can see here, these are the results that we're getting. Pretty impressive if you ask me. And from that one product image, I can create things like a hero shot, like this one. We can create style product imagery,

[10:17] like this. Lifestyle images like this. If you're selling apparel or clothing as an example, you can even use the fashion workflow to place the product into more stylized model imagery.

[10:34] So instead of organizing a completely new photo shoot every time you need another visual, you can create multiple marketing assets from one product image as I showing you how to do here on screen Now let move to the second use case which is to create ads

[10:51] And as you know, online sellers need ads. And this is the lazy way to do it, in my opinion. Let's say I'm running a promotion. I can choose a campaign or promotional workflow,

[11:03] upload the product as I'm showing you here, and apply my brand and my headline and add supporting text. And from that, I can generate different versions as I'm showing you here on screen

[11:18] with these different outputs that I created. And now instead of testing just one ad, I can create several different creatives, maybe one focused on the product, one focused on the discount,

[11:33] but they still look like they belong to the same company, which means the branding is consistent and it looks professional. And listen, this is where the lazy part comes in. If I find one design that performs well,

[11:47] I don't necessarily need to rebuild it next month and the following month. I can simply edit it. Maybe this month it's 20% off, next month it's a 25% discount or 25% off.

[12:00] I can change the text and reuse the creative direction rather than starting from zero every single time. Let me show you another use case, and this is social media posts, testimonials, and store graphics.

[12:13] Once the brand is saved, like I showed you earlier, you're not limited to product, photography, and ads. You can use the same brand identity for social media posts, testimonials, Etsy listing graphics as an example,

[12:27] sales graphics, store banners, and other promotional content for Instagram, Facebook, or even your website, or even one of your product listing images. What Grand Studio gives you is a

[12:40] way to keep all of that looking like it came from the same business. People, in-house designers and marketers, they also research trends and build the concepts behind these workflows. So think about

[12:53] what you've just done. You created your product once, set up your brand once, and now you can use the brand to create product photography, ads, social content, testimonials, Etsy graphics,

[13:07] and ongoing promotional material. Which brings me back to the question at hand. What if all the time you spend creating content for your business could be done in minutes with you still in full control?

[13:21] And this is what I just showed you how to do after you create that product, whether it's a digital product or a physical product once, and then you need to get it out there and sell it consistently. Again, the link in the description will get you 50% off annual plans.

[13:37] Now, let's move to the third lazy way that I'm going to share with you that you can make money in this era of technology and AI. And it's to let someone else drive your car.

[13:49] Do you have more than one vehicle? Do you work from home? Do you travel frequently or own a car that's spent most of the time parked? Then you have an asset. Well, in this case, it's an asset. Usually, it's a liability.

[14:01] But you have an asset that's costing money while producing absolutely nothing. For eligible U.S. owners, this has some limitations, of course. One option is Turo, and I'm showing you Turo's website here.

[14:15] Turo is a place where you can give them your motor vehicle as long as it meets the requirement, and they will rent it. you. Turo currently reports average gross cost earnings of about $10,489 per year per qualifying

[14:32] vehicle or about $874 per month based on the vehicles included and its stated methodology. Your actual results of course is going to depend on demand, the vehicle, the location, the pricing

[14:45] and the availability of the vehicle. Now you still have to clean the vehicle, you're still going to have to maintain it. There is still depreciation and of course there's a risk because other people are driving it but that's why you have insurance. So you have to consider those things before moving

[15:01] in this direction. So it's absolutely not free money but if a car would otherwise spend the day sitting in your driveway or your garage, could somebody else be paying to drive it? Of course.

[15:15] Now let's move to the fourth lazy way that we're going to talk about to make money here and it is the rent space that you already have. It could be that your kids are gone after college and you have an extra bedroom and you're brave enough to have somebody in your space because that creates a

[15:30] whole nother level of security that you have to be conscious and aware of. It could be a guest house, it could be an apartment, it could be a vacation home. If it's sitting empty, consider whether it can legally and practically become a short-term rental option. Airbnb reported that

[15:48] typical U.S. host earned approximately $15,600 in supplemental income in 2025. Now, that does not mean every host earned that amount Location occupancy rates and expenses matter significantly And you still need to consider things like cleaning although you can charge a customer for cleaning but there also utilities maintenance taxes insurance strata or HOA rules

[16:14] that are applicable in some places and local regulations again this is the theme of today's video take something you already own and ask whether it can work harder or make some money

[16:26] for you the lazy way. Now the next option is to get money back for shopping. This one needs one rule. Do not spend a hundred dollars you weren't going to spend just because somebody's gonna give

[16:40] you five dollars back. It doesn't make sense but I see people do it all the time. You go into the store and you see a two-for-one deal. You weren't gonna buy the one thing but now you're buying two

[16:52] to get the sale. That's just ridiculous. That's not what I'm talking about. But if you are purchasing the item either way, cash back and reward programs can make sense. Some options out there include

[17:05] this website that I'm popping up here, which is Rakuten, where you can be eligible for cash back purchases. Fetch, you can use eligible receipts and benefits. And Swapbook, which combines things

[17:17] like shopping surveys and other reward activities, you can earn from that as well. Will these make you rich? No. But opening an app or uploading a receipt for a purchase you are gonna make either

[17:30] way is about as close to lazy income as we're going to get rock stars. Now let's move to the sixth lazy way to make money. And this is to get paid to play video games. And some parents are

[17:43] gonna really hate me for this particular one. There are companies out there that actually need people to test video games. Platforms such as Playtest Cloud, they allow testers to play games

[17:55] and provide feedback. Playtest Cloud currently says a typical 15-minute playtest plus survey can pay a few dollars, not a lot of money. And there's no guarantee because these websites are

[18:08] very competitive. And of course, that's nowhere near a full-time salary. That's not what we're talking about here. But if you're already a gamer and somebody occasionally says play this game and tell me what you think, why wouldn't you do it? Now this next one is to get paid to sleep. We have

[18:25] officially reached the peak of laziness rockstar and I've spoken about this one in the past. You already must sleep and if you're like me, sleeping is actually a hobby. So naturally somebody figured

[18:38] out how to monetize that too. Universities, hospitals, and research institutions conduct clinical research involving sleep, sleep deprivation, and sleep quality and related areas.

[18:53] And participants who qualify may receive compensation, may be in the operative world. But please understand, this isn't a job where somebody says, Odessa, sleep until midday and

[19:06] will value you $500. Studies can involve screening, lab visits, questionnaires, monitoring, and strict schedules, and you must meet the study's eligibility requirements. A reputable place

[19:21] to search is clinicaltrials.gov, and the research study packages of major universities and medical institutions often offer this option as well. Now, here's the big question. Can these make

[19:35] $300 in a day. So yes, on a good day, it's possible, but it's not guaranteed. But as an example, let's say you do a hotel evaluation and you get about $100. Let's say from your car rental for

[19:51] a particular day, you made $30. And let's say from your short-term rental, maybe your extra room in your house, you made $60, and this is revenue. And also, let's say you sell four products,

[20:05] whether digital or physical print-on-demand products, at $20, that's about $80. And let's say you did that in a day, not every day, but in a specific day. And maybe another $30 comes

[20:18] from testing some gains, and that money came in that particular day, along with some cashback opportunities. It could add up to $300, but again, it's not guaranteed and it certainly won't happen

[20:32] every single day. Some days your car won't rent, your property may be empty, your digital product may not sell, and some opportunities simply won't be available. But the bigger point is this rock

[20:44] start. You don't need one thing to make $300. You can build several small income streams that potentially earn at the same time. And that brings us back to where we started. The remote control

[20:57] came from somebody asking, why do I need to keep getting up? The pet truck made a man a millionaire because he found a simple way to package an ordinary idea. The lesson isn't to be lazy. The

[21:13] lesson is find the easier way. Do the work up front, build a system, create the asset, set it up properly and then let it keep working for you. Rockstars, I hope you found value in this video and until next time, walk good.
