How to Make $10k/Month with Claude AI (2026 Course)

I built two seven-figure online businesses using content, affiliate marketing, and AI tools. And the number one question I get now is, where would you start if you had to do it all over

again in 2026? And I say honestly, I'd build it around Claude. Not cuz it's the flashiest thing, but because it actually functions like a business asset, and most people don't know the right ways to

use it yet. So, in this video, I'm going to show you five specific ways and different income streams built around Claude. So, we'll go from the simplest

Claude. So, we'll go from the simplest starting point all the way to the model that I think has the best shot at 10K a month. I'll show you exactly how to

month. I'll show you exactly how to stack everything together. So, let's get into it. But before we get started, make

into it. But before we get started, make sure to click the link in the description below. I'll send you my

description below. I'll send you my favorite prompts to use and my AI master class where I cover exactly how to pick your niche, develop your content strategy, so you can get started once and for all. So, make sure to click that

link and let's get into it.

So, first of all, I have to realize like most people treat AI and claw just like a fancier Google. They ask a question, they get an answer, they go back and forth in a conversation. That's not

really how you use it as a business.

That's just a fancier way to do research. The people that generate real

research. The people that generate real income are using it a bit differently.

So, they're not just asking Claude to help them with simple things. They're

using Claw to run functions inside of a business. So, I do this with my YouTube

business. So, I do this with my YouTube scripts, with my YouTube outlines, my ideation, syncing Vid IQ to come up with topics, outlines, all of it, whether it's blog posts, YouTube videos, agency

work, all of it. Um, and at scale, one person can do this by themselves. So,

the shift is really how one tool speeds all of this up. So, what Cloud can do better than any other tool right now on the market is it can just process massive amounts of information. So,

entire websites, reviews, comments, sales scripts, documents, all of it. It

can feed it all at once and it doesn't just summarize it, but it also analyzes it. So, it can find patterns, insights,

it. So, it can find patterns, insights, and it gives you something useful. So,

it's closer to like a research analyst that can get all of your research done uh for your business or other businesses. And that capability is

businesses. And that capability is basically what makes every business model I'm about to show you actually work. So, one mindset shift before we

work. So, one mindset shift before we get into this list is one thing. So, you

stop thinking about Claude as just a feature you use. You can think of it as a function for your business. So,

research deliverables operations speeding things up. So it handles all of those tasks for you, but you still need your own brain and your own strategy in order to implement this. So this is the

business though that you're building. So

here is the first model.

So every business on earth needs marketing and marketing intelligence, who their competitors are, what are their competitors missing, what are their customers frustrated about, pain points, all of that. So most small and

mid-size businesses want that information, but none of them have dedicated anything really going into that information. So you can have a

that information. So you can have a clawed workflow where you gather lots of raw material and information from a client. So competitor websites, G2

client. So competitor websites, G2 reviews, Amazon threads, Reddit stuff, customer interviews, feed it all into claw. You work through a structured

claw. You work through a structured analysis, discover what patterns emerge, what customers are saying, where the market is, and then what comes out is a professional report. very simple to just

professional report. very simple to just sell this report findings contest context recommended actions and all of this something they could read in 30 minutes and have a clear sense of

direction. So you could do intensive

direction. So you could do intensive one-time research projects. You could

create a cloud project that has all this information in it and is you know pages and pages and pages of what to do and then you can run this very simply and you could charge even 500 bucks for one of these things because it takes you

literally 10 minutes to do it. So, a

one-time research project could run 500 to 3,000 depending on the scope and the size of the business. If you're running something more advanced for a bigger company, it would cost more. And then

there could be ongoing retainer. So,

monthly monitoring, quarterly reviews that can create some predictable income.

So, the barrier to entry here is really low. You don't need a consulting

low. You don't need a consulting background. You just need to know how to

background. You just need to know how to run Claude through a structured process, format a clean, nicel looking deliverable, and find clients in an industry that you understand. So, that's

the key. Find an industry that you understand. The fastest path to make

understand. The fastest path to make money with this stuff is understanding the uh going into an industry you already know. So you understand the

already know. So you understand the landscape. You know the right questions.

landscape. You know the right questions.

You know the marketing that they need and all of that. But this next model is one I've built my own business around and it scales differently than anything else on the list. So affiliate marketing is simple in concept, right? You create

content, you recommend products, someone buys through your link, you earn a commission. Very simple. The motto's

commission. Very simple. The motto's

been around for decades. I've been doing it for years. But what claw changes is how fast you can build that content engine behind it. So you pick a niche with real purchase intent. Could be

software, hosting, AI tools, finance, right? Categories with established

right? Categories with established affiliate programs that have meaningful commissions and have been around. Then

you use Claude for your research phase before you write anything. So you upload competitor articles, YouTube transcripts, you can even have Claude research this for you. So for example, I

have a a claude project for YouTube video scripting and I'm going to put in this prompt. Find top performing video

this prompt. Find top performing video titles and comment sections from YouTube channels in n. I have my niche. I'm

going to do something like in the crypto niche. Sure, we can do that. Uh discover

niche. Sure, we can do that. Uh discover

topics that drive engagement. What

questions keep coming up? Come up with YouTube titles and thumbnail ideas.

Strong search intent. Now, this is synced with Vid IQ, which is normally $49 a month. It's a great YouTube research tool. I was going to cancel my

research tool. I was going to cancel my my account and then it went to $19 a month. So, you can do all of your

month. So, you can do all of your keyword research in a month of time, create an entire content plan for like a year if you wanted to and cancel. Claude

is actually synced to Vid IQ. So, it has all of the outlier videos, the keyword research tools, what's actually working, competitor data, all of that. So, from

this simple paragraph, it's going to give 20 video ideas, but look at what it does. It goes through Vid IQ, discovery

does. It goes through Vid IQ, discovery tools, all the tools, videos loaded. It

goes over the breakout data, engagement, and comments, trust erosion theme. So, a

lot of people are realizing like they're not they're skeptical of these how do I start in crypto type videos. And then

they're checking taxes and passive income. They're pulling top performing

income. They're pulling top performing videos. They're driving seeing what

videos. They're driving seeing what drives engagement. What comment section

drives engagement. What comment section reveal? Distrust and fatigue. Altcoin

reveal? Distrust and fatigue. Altcoin

pump videos smells like a scam. 98% of

people lose money. yada yada yada. So

then it goes into search volume. It goes

into the keyword research tool to see what is actually being searched for like crypto passive income, stable coin lending, all of this stuff. And then

gives 20 video ideas to build it around.

The trust gap, which is the biggest unmet need, is to spot the scams. Is it too late is another one. Where should

you start? Crypto for stocks, crypto for beginners, all of these different ones for top 20 videos, including taxes explained, how to tell if a coin is actually worth anything, how to research a project, really interesting start to a

YouTube channel, which could be really good. This is all from one single

good. This is all from one single paragraph. And for affiliate revenue,

paragraph. And for affiliate revenue, you can build a full cluster. So like

reviewing content, comparison posts, supporting content that in and you know, best crypto tax platforms, best crypto software, crypto exchanges, best altcoins, all of that. You just get into

a strategy consistently over the course of time and then this structure can compound in a way that individual videos can't. So from those topics you have

can't. So from those topics you have claude create the full scripts from them. You can have it I could just put

them. You can have it I could just put in create a script full or an outline.

Create a full outline on the video called the boring crypto strategy no one on YouTube talks about. Boom. Comes with

a really strong hook of an introduction five points outro. You use it. You use a teleprompter app. I'll come up with

teleprompter app. I'll come up with something. You know have your own unique

something. You know have your own unique take on things. You're a teacher at heart when you're making money with affiliate commissions, your own products and things like that. But teach it AI helps you, Claude helps you get to a point where you can do this a lot

faster. So affiliate marketing is not

faster. So affiliate marketing is not like an overnight success, right? This

organic business, organic views take time to build. The truth is you can get started with affiliate marketing from day one. Add the links into your YouTube

day one. Add the links into your YouTube description. It makes this model one of

description. It makes this model one of the most durable ones online. and you

have a large library, a backlog of eventually 50 videos, 100 videos that are just sitting there getting views years later, right? So, it's a it's an asset library. But this isn't like

asset library. But this isn't like necessarily a quick win, but it's a long-term content play you can do. But

think of it this way. Instead of earning commissions, if you don't want to do that, what if businesses paid you directly for your expertise, which is number three. If you think about what's

number three. If you think about what's happening in almost every company right now, leadership knows AI matters. They

read the headlines. They're like, "We're going to spend more money on AI and tokens and we need to replace all our workers with AI and all of this." But

most of them are very stuck. They're

realizing that AI doesn't solve every every problem out there, but they don't even know what tools to use. They're

they're just going through claw tokens and they're not quite sure what to do.

They don't know how to get their own team to use AI effectively. They don't

know what to measure. So, this gap is a decent opportunity. So, the consulting

decent opportunity. So, the consulting model starts with a process audit. You

sit down with a business on a call or in person. and you walk through how they

person. and you walk through how they currently operate. This is higher ticket

currently operate. This is higher ticket stuff. There's people that are charging

stuff. There's people that are charging five figures a month to bigger businesses to do this. So you're

thinking where is work being done manual that AI could handle. Where are the bottlenecks? What's eating up the time,

bottlenecks? What's eating up the time, the team, the resources, the tokens, the things that require human judgment versus don't? Then you deliver a full

versus don't? Then you deliver a full road map. So a prioritized list of AI

road map. So a prioritized list of AI implementations uh tailored specifically to that business with a clear explanation of what each one does, how to get started.

So, a typical standalone audit for this would be on the low end for a small business, small to mediumsiz business, a,000 to 5,000. For larger businesses, it could be 10,000 a month for a period

of months as you learn and help them implement this process. So, again, any way that we're making money here with AI, if anyone can do it and it requires no expertise and you can just do it in 5 seconds, it's not going to make money.

It's just not going to happen. There's

no such thing as passive income or get rich quick or any of that stuff. That is

not true. So you have to learn that the higher the more skills that you develop over time, the higher you can price things. So in this type of agency

things. So in this type of agency consulting AI model where you're using clog, you're creating projects, workflows, all of that, doing it for businesses, you start small. You just

start for $500 to a local business. You

develop the skills required to then go over higher tier businesses, maybe medium-sized businesses or regional offices, and then you just go up from there. Some people say, "Who's going to

there. Some people say, "Who's going to pay $5,000?" Well, there are literally

pay $5,000?" Well, there are literally big companies out there paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for things.

Google just paid SpaceX. They're paying

millions or a billion dollars a month for stuff, right? It's all relative to what we're working with, but your skill level will dictate how much money you can charge for these things. So, just

it's a good skill to start learning. You

can start small and just continue onward and go up market from there. So, if you have real experience in a specific industry you might know about like healthcare or real estate or something, you could charge more because your

advice is more precise. the client knows uh and understands you understand their world. So for beginners, the path is

world. So for beginners, the path is fastest probably through people you already know. So you could do an audit

already know. So you could do an audit for a few people you know in exchange for a testimonial of have a few good results under your belt to start working from. The next model has recurring

from. The next model has recurring revenue which is actually pretty interesting. So most established

interesting. So most established businesses have a ton of content out there. They have a podcast running or a

there. They have a podcast running or a YouTube channel with some videos like a software company's YouTube channel, right? they might have 50 videos or a

right? they might have 50 videos or a stack of like webinar recordings or a bunch of emails that people don't read, right? So, the content gets created by

right? So, the content gets created by their team. It gets published and then

their team. It gets published and then essentially basically disappears. So, no

one's going back for it. So, a good thing you could offer is you take a single piece of content. So, like

podcast episode or something, you use Claude to extract the core ideas, you restructure them or reformat it and put it on a relevant channel. So a 45minute podcast could become a very long article

on LinkedIn, three or four social posts or a newsletter or something like that.

What a lot of people aren't doing like businesses, they have a podcast, but they don't really know what to do with it. You take that podcast on video and

it. You take that podcast on video and you publish it on YouTube, but you don't just publish the whole hourong podcast as one video. You publish the hourlong version, the episode, and then you take

three segments from it. You post those as videos. So now you've just published

as videos. So now you've just published four YouTube videos from one podcast.

They're getting views. You're scaling

their channel. You're doing all of these different things. If you do this well,

different things. If you do this well, new versions of content can feel native to the platform. So you're kind of working as a content repurposing specialist adapting content. So this is mainly for like founders and executives,

maybe people on LinkedIn. They record

content all the time, but they don't know what to do with it. They don't know how to distribute it properly. So this

could be recurring. You can charge something like $2,000 to $5,000 a month for this. Higher volume clients will

for this. Higher volume clients will push this further. So, as long as they keep creating content, you keep repurposing it. You keep putting it in

repurposing it. You keep putting it in different platforms and helping. And

that is a good agency model to run that way. Now, this last model we're going to

way. Now, this last model we're going to talk about, this is where you stop trading time for money entirely. So,

three of the first four models were service- based affiliate income that comes over time with content. You're

still doing work to get paid. All right.

So, this one's a little different. This

idea is that you take all the solutions that you've been building for clients and you turn them into reusable actual products. So, here's what this looks

products. So, here's what this looks like. Say you've been doing the AI

like. Say you've been doing the AI consulting thing. You've helped a dozen

consulting thing. You've helped a dozen businesses set up, let's say, internal documentation workflows with Claude. You

figured out which prompts work, how to structure the knowledge base, how to create a knowledge base, a support stack, all of this, train a team on it.

So that at that point, that doesn't just become consulting knowledge. That's

actually a system that you've built. So

with AI, you build your own systems, you package it. So this would be a prompt

package it. So this would be a prompt library, a full setup, a fully configured clawed project with everything. The more advanced you can

everything. The more advanced you can make it, the better. with a video walkthrough. You sell it for $500,

walkthrough. You sell it for $500, $1,000, $5,000 depending on the complexity level. So, you package this

complexity level. So, you package this and sell the working solution so that no one has to build it. And this is where niche expertise comes in. You build a lightweight AI powered tool designed for a specific workflow. So, it could be

like a proposal generator for an agency or an intake system for a law firm or just something that in some area that you know where you can build a clawed workflow with a simple interface and

then you sell it. either as a monthly subscription like software or a one-time fee. And it's kind of interesting. We're

fee. And it's kind of interesting. We're

in this world where the the idea between high ticket coaching, consulting, and just courses and all of this stuff is kind of in and software is converging

with AI into one thing. So, if you're charging $3,000 for a AI workflow, it's are you an agency? Are you if you have a video, you're kind of teaching them as a course, or you going to coach them on

how to use it? But it is software, too.

So, it's all kind of like you picture that three tier pricing website page and everything's kind of converging where if you can teach you can you can use AI to develop both what is a software but also

a useful tool that they're using and you can teach them on how to use it and you're the expert. Well, you're kind of running an agency that's selling passive courses that's teaching but that's also

software technically. So, it's kind of

software technically. So, it's kind of this converging of all these worlds.

It's a really interesting time for that.

So the more you can uplevel your skills and learn those things, the higher your potential revenue ceiling.

So what typically happens though here is you pick a model, you get a few clients, and then you kind of stop. You hit a ceiling. And a single service with a

ceiling. And a single service with a fixed client capacity can only scale so far before you burn out. So the

businesses that push past this ceiling, they're doing something differently.

Okay, they're either doing multiple revenue streams like right now I'm doing affiliate and courses and I and I run a local business as well and sponsorships and ad revenue. So there's five

different things and the era of making 100k a month from just affiliate marketing might be over. But if you can stack five income streams on that content business, then you can make it work. If you're doing the AI consulting

work. If you're doing the AI consulting model, maybe you also have a YouTube channel where you're teaching this stuff. So always having two income

stuff. So always having two income streams in this AI world. I think two or more actually makes more sense. If

you're creating, you know, AI workflows, then you should be kind of teaching some of that stuff on YouTube, too. That's

how you get clients. So actually content is leading to B2B clients. That's kind

of new in this new era of AI is mass market. Everyone sold courses, but

market. Everyone sold courses, but businesses are still buying solutions and learning how to use them. So, if I made a course on YouTube, how to create a really high quality YouTube channel, I

could sell it for 500 bucks to people or a thousand. But if it's for businesses,

a thousand. But if it's for businesses, how to teach your business how to generate and scale leads and sales through YouTube, well, there's creators charging 6,000, 7,000 or $8,000 for

that. So, it's this new thing. If you go

that. So, it's this new thing. If you go content mass market, you want to have multiple income streams, affiliate, sponsorship, courses, all that. If you

go AI consulting, higher B2B model, you want to have an asset that generates leads, which is content, which is either LinkedIn or YouTube. So, you're a teacher. Either way, you're teaching

teacher. Either way, you're teaching something, which just helps when you're learning. So, here's what that could

learning. So, here's what that could look like in practice. So, the flywheel you start is with content. So, you pick a niche where businesses need help with AI. You build affiliate content in that

AI. You build affiliate content in that space. It could be blog posts or videos.

space. It could be blog posts or videos.

That does two things. It can generate affiliate commissions and it builds an audience so they know that they can trust you when it comes to AI implementation inside of their industry.

So some of that audience reaches out, they want help. That's your consulting pipeline. Those are sales that you

pipeline. Those are sales that you close. You could have a simple

close. You could have a simple calendarly link from your YouTube channel, right? Or you could do prompt

channel, right? Or you could do prompt packs from LinkedIn. Comment below and I'll send them to you and then you work on getting people into your pipeline that way. You do the consulting and you

that way. You do the consulting and you work across multiple clients. You start

seeing the same problems repeat. So

you're hitting pain points. you see the same bottlenecks. They're asking the

same bottlenecks. They're asking the same questions every time. That's your

signal to then productize the solution that keeps working. You turn it into a system. So, we're now saving time.

system. So, we're now saving time.

Instead of doing all the work, which for a client might take 10 hours, we now have the systematized product, which might take a few hours to help them set up, and you can charge more for it. So,

then you have three income streams running. You could have affiliate

running. You could have affiliate income, consulting income, and product income. Each one supporting the other

income. Each one supporting the other one. Content builds the audience, the

one. Content builds the audience, the potential pipeline. And the audience

potential pipeline. And the audience funds the consulting. The consulting

builds the product and then the product scales in your team scales. So the

highest ceiling version of this is what I call the AI operations agency. Not a

freelancer, but it's a business that helps companies fully integrate Claude across how they operate. So the scope an initial audit, build a knowledge base, configure claude projects for different

teams, create the content systems, train the staff, provide ongoing support for a monthly fee. So you're not delivering

monthly fee. So you're not delivering necessarily a one-time project, but you're becoming part of how they run. So

an entry- level project here, a package could cost 2500. Comprehensive

implementation could cost 5 to 10K a month. I've seen people charging this to

month. I've seen people charging this to larger businesses. What justifies the

larger businesses. What justifies the pricing here is you're not just selling AI. You're actually going into the

AI. You're actually going into the business and coming up with actual solutions. So that's what business is.

solutions. So that's what business is.

It's helping people make more money typically. And if you can do that for an

typically. And if you can do that for an effective rate then and you're giving the results, that's what works. So

really the real opportunity with Claude right now, it's not becoming the best prompt engineer. It's not just copy

prompt engineer. It's not just copy pasting stuff and creating AI slop content, faceless YouTube channels, hoping it makes money. It's becoming

either an agency and the person who helps businesses integrate AI before competitors and just figuring out a product that you want to sell. It's not

the fastest path. People that are chasing that, but it's really just picking a model, choosing a workflow, creating content to get both leads and just build an audience around what

you're teaching. And it's kind of the

you're teaching. And it's kind of the convergence of software, agency services, and building an audience all in one platform. Make it B2B where you lead need way less views to actually

make a good amount of money. So, if

you're interested in learning the exact process, you can get my AI master class where I cover it in depth. how to choose your niche, develop your content plan, and start building this thing once and for all for yourself. So again, you can get that by clicking the link in the
