What's the laziest way to make money with AI in 2025 as a beginner?

As someone who's made millions with AI products in my company Martel Ventures,

I'm going to share with you the five ways I would make money with AI if I was starting from zero.

I'll even teach you how to find and sell it to customers and show you the cost, effort, and potential for each one.

Now I'm not talking about a get richrich-quick scheme. These are real money-making ideas where AI does most of the work for you. So let's get into it. Welcome to the Martel Method. I went from rehab at 17 to building a $100 million empire and being a Wall Street Journal best-selling author. In this podcast, I'll show you exactly how to build a life

and business you don't grow to hate.

My best selling book, Buy Back Your Time, is out now.

Starting with number five, AI thumbnail design.

You can get paid to design those thumbnails that you see on YouTube that you have to click

to watch the video.

It's designing high converting YouTube thumbnails using AI products like Mid Journey Photoshop

and Canva AI.

Here's the problem.

Most people think that it's just like vibe designing where you're just like, I'm really

good at prompts and I just chat and it creates images. That's not what I'm talking about. The cool part is, is the cost is low to get into it. The effort is medium. It's not that hard. And the potential is actually pretty high right now with the rise of personal brands. On the low end, you can make 50 bucks a day doing like five thumbnails for 10 bucks. But on the high end, and this is what we invest in, is 200 to 400 a day where we're paying for four to eight high quality thumbnails at 50 bucks each. And you might think to yourself, who would pay for this? And I'll be honest with you, I didn't even know this is a thing. I was visiting my buddy Sean at Space Station. I remember walking down the hallway and he

introduces me to a guy that's in a room and he says, that's our thumbnail designer. He had two

monitors testing different things and iterations and he worked on five different channels. And it made

me realize that the pros that actually make money with YouTube will pay for this and that's why you've got to

get good at it. So this is how you learn thumbnail design to get paid the big bucks.

Number one, you have to analyze dozens of viral thumbnails in your niche.
