An AI practitioner in India shares that he makes $1,000-2,000 per month on the side from paid AI consulting, posting a fresh ₹2,999 payment receipt as proof. His formula: domain expertise, posting publicly, targeting audiences with spending power, communication skills, and the guts to put your name out there — noting most people avoid consulting because one bad piece of advice can hurt their reputation. He stresses you don't need a big audience: he has 6k followers on X and 3k on Instagram, and started consulting with fewer than 1k followers. He promises more detailed how-to posts soon.
