Tanner Chidester · Laziest Ways To Make Money With Claude AI ($26,000/Day) ↗

One of 7 ideas covered in this video

You build tools that help owners make decisions, such as a customer acquisition calculator, pricing or profitability calculator, hiring calculator, ad budget calculator, sales forecast tool or a simple CEO dashboard. Claude helps work out which inputs and formulas are needed and how users should read the results. You then bundle the calculator with guides, short videos, checklists and templates so it is worth more than a bare spreadsheet.

The creator says people pay for tools that make decisions easier, and packaging adds value beyond the spreadsheet itself.

People who are good with spreadsheets and understand business finances well enough to check the formulas.

Tanner Chidester sells coaching for business owners through links in the description, and the $26,000-a-day figure is a hypothetical funnel calculation, not results from this product. A calculator with wrong formulas can hurt buyers' decisions, so you must check the maths yourself rather than trust AI. Spreadsheet templates are a competitive category on marketplaces, and the video does not show sales for this product.
