A developer used AI tools to analyze YouTube videos for realistic ways people make money with AI, packaged the research on Gumroad, and a single post generated $1,300 in revenue.
He then turned the research into a real product: using NewMax, he spent 3+ hours building the website, payments, analytics, and a full affiliate system. It's now live at $69 (limited time), offering a complete library of AI money-making methods broken down by traffic, tools, costs, workflows, and benchmarks, plus an affiliate program.
