Patrick Dang · 11 High Paying Claude AI Side Hustles You Can Do At Night 🌙 ↗
One of 11 ideas covered in this video
You write social posts or video scripts in a busy founder's voice for platforms like LinkedIn, X and YouTube. You feed Claude the founder's past content and interviews to mimic their style, then edit the drafts so they sound human. Founders pay a monthly fee.
Dang says founders want personal brands but lack time, and good writers are scarce; he says he has struggled to hire good ones himself. He recommends finding founders who post consistently but get little traction and run real businesses, writing a few sample posts, and sending a short Loom video pitch. He says AI gets drafts about 70 percent of the way, and quotes $500 to $3,000 per month or more, or a share of leads generated. He scores it 22 of 25.
Suits strong writers who can capture another person's voice and are comfortable sending personalized cold pitches.
Ghostwriting for founders is an established, real market, and his point that AI drafts need significant human editing is honest. Competition is substantial, and clients judge on engagement and leads that are not fully in the writer's control. Fees vary widely with skill, and the figures are his estimates. The video is sponsored by Higgsfield, the creative tool he recommends throughout, and it repeatedly pushes his free Claude skill pack, a free 3-day live training, and calls with his team for paid coaching.
