What It Is
You learn to use AI tools well, then charge small businesses to teach their teams how to use them and to set up simple automations such as lead lists or email drafts. The work is done over video calls and shared screens. Guest Nate Herk suggests starting by teaching people you trust for practice, then moving on to paying clients.
The Pitch
Nate says that if he were starting over he would pursue a service-based business helping small businesses upskill in AI. He says people were making $10,000 a month or more teaching businesses ChatGPT in the early days, and that the same opportunity now exists with newer tools.
Who It’s Best For
Patient explainers who like learning new software and can talk business owners through change.
The Truth (as we see it)
The $250K-a-month headline is Nate's own business, built on a large YouTube audience, courses and an agency, not a beginner's result. The $10,000-a-month figure is about other people and isn't backed up. You'll need to stay current as the tools change constantly, and you'll have to find clients yourself. The episode includes a sponsored segment, and Nate sells his own courses and community.
