How To ACTUALLY Make Money Using AI

So the whole shit is about advertizing other products?

Thank you, Codie ❤❤❤

And where did she buy the dog leashes?

0:40 yes, I lol'd ... and snot came out of my nose.

to much fluff...

Codie, love your content, however! Em-dash is not a no—that is the stupidest thing I ever heard—it is someone living rent free in your head for no good reason. Read any major novel and you will see good authors use them. Why not use them now that you have learned how to from AI!

The problem is that most execs have the same superficial knowledge view and parroting of - 'I've used ai and so I don't need <insert human expert title here> because I one-shotted <insert thing here>". When the ai slop design all looks the same, the AI high tide raises all boats so everyone looks the same. AI removes the bell curve at both ends (the sub avg and the very good). As the famous apple commercial says "Here's to all the misfits, the ones that think differently...." AI doesn't look at outliers.

Good humans at the jobs + AI will excel, but the dilemma we are in is that we are removing the entry level opportunity for those people to deliver their skill.

So eventually these experts are going to be more valuable as AI produces more slop and trains on it's own slop and less less people know how to actually code correctly, while anthropic/openai, rug pulls us and charges us 10x-100x once they go public and have to show profits YoY.

I missed the part where the AI will assist in locating a supplier or manufacturer, product management to actually make the product, inventory and warehouse/storage, and setup logistics -- where most nightmare actually resides. Also the fact that you actually have to pay for the AI not being dumb sets you to lose money before you can make money. You also have to spend time fact checking the AI result to make sure it's not a hallucination; for someone with no experience, this can easily fall in the cracks and cause a lot of issues in a long run. In short, AI is not there yet for everyone and only intelligent people can actually use it effectively.

This is useful for building a website and acquiring customers. But no mention of actually acquiring, storing, or shipping the merchandise? Payment processing?

Hey codie it’s me again. We’re friends we just haven’t met yet. 🤙🏽

This is so informative. Even if this wasn’t an ai video there’s a lot of business tips you’re giving out. FOR FREE!!!

I usually never post long comments like this, but I feel like I have to share because it helped me so much. Most financial advice is just garbage designed to keep you working forever, but Power Behind Locked Door by Jacob Rockefeller is completely different. It gave me the actual strategies the truly wealthy use, especially about debt as a tool and using leverage, not cash.

I was stuck for years chasing the next big thing, it wasn't until a close friend told me about Power Behind Locked Door by Jacob Rockefeller that i realized i was just a cog in a machine i didn't even understand. shifting my focus to systems has made me feel so much more deliberate and calm. it is not about the 9-to-5 grind or waiting for luck, it is about structure and discipline that works quietly in the background while you actually live your life.

People focus too much on tactics and not enough on positioning. Making your first $5k online is as much psychological as it is technical. That realization hit me after reading Power Behind Locked Door by Jacob Rockefeller

I don’t usually leave comments, but I owe it to this book. I was on the edge, sleeping four hours a night, business bleeding money, collection calls nonstop. Power Behind Locked Door by Jacob Rockefeller explained power dynamics in a way that made everything suddenly click. I stopped making emotional decisions and started thinking like someone who actually understands influence. Forty-five days later my revenue stabilized and now we’re having our best quarter in two years.

On a flight from Tokyo to Chicago I sat next to a woman who manages portfolios for ultra-wealthy families. She wasn’t bragging, just explaining how people misunderstand “wealth.” Before we landed she asked if I read Power Behind Locked Door by Jacob Rockefeller. I hadn’t. I ordered it the same night. The part about silent power structures hit me harder than any business course I ever took.

I once met someone at a gold storage facility in the UK. We talked about privacy, decentralization, and off-grid movement. When I asked what influenced him most, he didn’t say a course or a mentor- just quietly said, “Power Behind Locked Door by Jacob Rockefeller” No context. No explanation. Just a book that opened a door I didn’t know existed.

I felt this one. Success is simple you either outwork your excuses or you lose. Power Behind Locked Door by Jacob Rockefeller pushed me to show up even on the days where motivation is zero

Everyone wants money but no one wants to talk about the real enemy. No discipline. No self-control. Endless scrolling, cheap dopamine, wasted days. I lived there. Comfortably stuck. Power Behind Locked Door by Jacob Rockefeller was the first thing that made me realize I wasn’t blocked by life, I was hiding from it.

Sometimes it seems that someone is living a dream lifestyle, but what really stands out is how intentional everything feels. Social media, e-commerce or any other online business only work long term when there’s structure behind them. That’s something that really clicked for me after reading Power Behind Locked Door by Jacob Rockefeller. I'm now on $10k+ per month, wish me luck for the future! :)

Before I understood how power and wealth actually work, I was stuck chasing motivation, quick wins, and external validation. Reading Power Behind Locked Door by Jacob Rockefeller shifted my focus toward structure, discipline, and long-term positioning. I realized it’s not about hustling harder or waiting for a breakthrough moment, it’s about building systems that work quietly in the background. Once I adopted that mindset, I felt calmer, more deliberate, and far less controlled by distractions, fear, or noise online.

This video was great but it missed out on one of the more important steps. HOW DO YOU GET CUSTOMERS TO VISIT YOUR SITE, in other words, TRAFFIC

My ONLY tools is ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude the rest are existing infrastructure that is already been in the market which are AWS, GCP, and Azure because AI helped me understand how all these tools work. If you know how to use them to your advantages you are 8 out of 10 ahead of your competitor and as a person who was already making money doing game-development on Unreal Engine 4 and 5 integrating AI with Unreal Engine plus my programming background and existing infrastructure gave me a better insight on what actual tools and services to create that I know how to build for cheaper and quickly as possible.

“Would you say cameltoe in a YouTube video” 🤣 lmao love this video as always Codie, super interesting and educational. Great editing, loved the clip of the old lady getting yanked by the dog😂👏🏼

Further people are coping with a lifetime of EMF bombardment, chemicals, schedules, existential crises, too many AI conversations, global stress, and multiple other issues, so you might need a slower, more deliberately speaking, steady, tone and mannerisms before folks can absorb

You mean the AI said there were 6000 reviews, when there was not infact 6000 reviews?? This could hurt YOUR Brand Codie.

13:38 nope

People don’t want to do something as much as they want to experience something pleasurable.

Sure sounds lagit

A key element is to ensure redundancy and resilience is built into the adoption of AI. These tools are great and I agree, but I see many SMB adopting singular ecosystems, only to have those significantly adjusted or lost in a day. If you go all in on a Microsoft ecosystem, what is your plan when it is unavailable? Jump into AI, all in, but do so with a strong operational resilience system to pivot and grow as AI systems are closed, bought or otherwise change without your consent.

This book is controversial for a reason and everyone should read Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl. It tells the uncomfortable truth that the system does not want you rich. It needs you working, spending, borrowing and staying dependent for life. Schools wont teach this. Parents dont know it. Once you read it you cant go back to being comfortably broke. It forces you to take responsibility and most people hate it for exactly that.

Лайк за честность. Таких видео сейчас мало

I used to believe rich people were lucky or corrupt. After reading Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl I see it is mostly financial literacy. The kind they deliberately keep out of schools so regular people stay stuck.

Reading Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl hit me hard. I finally understood my parents were not bad with money. They just never got the right information. The game was rigged before they even started.

This is absolute gold - thank you, Cody! I'm using this to launch my next online store this weekend... I can't wait.

you did not uss 500+ ai tools , thats cap

How can one input tidio on their app as a CCP?

Need this video but for service businesses!

Those things don't apply in Africa 🌍

You own nothing proprietary. You don't own the patent on the leash, the formula, or a unique technology. The moment your ads start doing well, twenty other marketers using Exploding Topics and Lovable will scrape your site, clone your exact marketing hook, and undercut your price by $5. Without a unique product feature or a deeply loyal community, you are trapped in a race to the bottom.

Why avatar in lieu of Persona?

Save the tool list, but the tools will be obsolete by spring - the frameworks are the part worth stealing:

3:54 - The 3-AI split: Perplexity for sourced data, ChatGPT to draft fast, Claude for the reasoning that matters
1:02 - RRT test before you build anything: does it Resist a recession, can you Raise prices, does Technology improve margins
10:14 - Villain / victim / vow for branding (the problem, who they are before you, what you promise after)
15:30 - Cold vs warm traffic: ads lead with disruption to earn the click, landing pages lead with the pain not the product

The line that's actually the whole video, at 21:41: AI isn't a replacement for thinking, it's a force multiplier on good thinking. Every tool here failed on the first output and only worked once a framework was pointed at it. The people who get rich from this aren't the ones with the tool list - they're the ones who showed up with the strategy the tool needed.

Love this, Codie!
