How to make money from your expertise with AI
Last updated
You can make money from your expertise with AI in four main ways: an AI twin of you that people pay to talk to, AI help to make courses and products faster, an AI assistant that lets you serve more clients, and licensing your material. Only the first earns while you're not working. On AIMayDo (aimaydo.com) you build that twin for free, set a price per minute above a €0.50 base, and keep 80% of everything you charge above it.
What are the ways to make money from your expertise with AI?
- An AI twin people pay to talk to. A version of you, built from your own material, that answers questions by chat, voice or a live avatar. People pay for the time they spend with it, and it works at any hour without you.
- AI help to make products faster. You still sell courses, books or templates, and AI helps you write, edit and produce them. The income is the product's, and you still do the selling.
- An AI assistant for your own clients. AI drafts, summarises and prepares, so you fit more paid sessions into your week. It saves time, and the income is still your hours.
- Licensing your material. You let a company use your content or methods for a fee. It can pay well, but it depends on finding a buyer, and you usually give up some control.
Most experts end up combining them. The rest of this page is about the first, because it's the only one where the AI itself earns money for you.
How does an AI twin earn money for you?
People pay per minute while they talk to it, and you keep most of what you charge.
On AIMayDo every twin sits on a platform base of €0.50 a minute, which pays for running the conversation. You set your own price at or above it, and you keep 80% of the part above the base. Visitors buy credits through Stripe and are billed only while they're talking. A typed question costs a quarter of a minute. Your share builds up in your balance, and Stripe pays it to your bank once a month when it reaches €100.
| Your price a minute | You keep a minute | 300 paid minutes a month |
|---|---|---|
| €0.50 (the base) | €0.00 | €0 |
| €1.00 | €0.40 | €120 |
| €2.00 | €1.20 | €360 |
These are sums from two inputs, not forecasts. We don't publish what experts typically earn, because we haven't got numbers that would make it true. Try your own figures with the calculator on how to monetize an AI avatar.
What do you need to build one?
Your own material, a face photo and a short voice clip. Material can be anything you've made: articles, books, course lessons, recorded talks, videos and the answers you give clients most often. You then read the rules drawn from it and approve the ones that are yours, test it with questions you know the answers to, give consent and connect payouts, which is also Stripe's identity check. How to build an AI coach has every step.
Building it is free, and there's no subscription. Your only cost is the free taster you choose to give visitors, 3 minutes by default, paid from your own credits at the base rate.
Who does it suit, and who doesn't it suit?
It suits experts who already have material and an audience: coaches, consultants, teachers and tutors, course creators, authors, trainers and creators. People who already read or watch you are the ones most likely to pay to ask you something.
It suits you less if you have no audience yet, because a twin nobody visits earns nothing. It also needs care if you're employed: material you made for an employer may belong to them, so check your contract first. And it gives information, not regulated advice, so it doesn't replace work that needs your professional judgement.

- Can an AI version of me earn money while I sleep?
- Yes, if people come to talk to it. It answers at any hour, holds many conversations at once and replies in each visitor's language. The money depends on your audience visiting it, so a twin nobody visits earns nothing. It doesn't cost you anything to build either.

- Do I need to be technical to build an AI twin?
- No. You upload your material with a face photo and a short voice clip, approve the rules drawn from it, test it, give consent and connect payouts. There's no code, and it can go on your website with one script tag or an iframe.
- Is it free to make an AI clone of yourself?
