#36: $5k+ AI Business Models

Happy 1st day of the Month EduCreator!

Today we finished our 6th week of the EduCreator LIVE daily community show. The time has really flown by and we’ve been able to build not only a consistent live audio space, but show what’s it like to learn together in community.

There is no other social media platform like X that has the audience of AI enthusiasts and creators, and capacity for us to network and build together. While many of the social media “gurus” will say we need to be omni-present, I find this to be incredibly distracting. I would rather be where my audience is.

With that being said, I’m realizing, especially after Hendo’s Creative AI space yesterday all about this subject (I’m now a regular co-host, woo hoo!), it’s important to branch out to other social media platforms if we’re truly going to accomplish our Big Purpose as a community:

I’m now convinced that even if our community is on X, the people we are here to serve are on all the other platforms. The beauty of having a team is that I don’t have to be omnipresent. So I’m going to focus on Instagram and support our other community members on other platforms.

Where are you creating content? Do you have a favorite platform outside of X?

Have a great weekend!

Beta Group for Assessment Analyzer GPT

I’m looking for a group of beta testers for my newest GPT, the “Assessment Analyzer.” Create any assessment or survey with Google Forms and let this custom GPT analyze the results. Compare different students and get informed data for individual students. When you’re done analyzing, create personalized reports for each student. This will be a game changer for course creators looking to stand out from traditional online courses that most students don’t even finish.

Today’s EduCreator LIVE 🎙️ REPLAY

Friday Theme: AI Monetization

3 $5K+ Business Models

In today’s space, we discuss in more detail 3 highly profitable B2B (business to business) models that are in high demand. Listen to the replay for a more in depth overview.

Here are the 3 models discussed:

1. Newsletter Publication: use AI to help you automate a newsletter publication for clients. Also use tools like Perplexity to help you find great content to share in the newsletter and ChatGPT for content creation. Newsletter acquisitions are an emerging trend and give saavy creators an opportunity to really offer a valuable product to a company.

2. Custom Training and Solutions: offer personalized and highly customized trainings to businesses and corporations to help onboard their staff with integrating AI to save time and ultimately, money. AI can help personalize learning for each individual employee. You can also use tools like Custom GPTs to create no-code custom automation solutions and charge based on value and time/money saved.

3. Virtual Influencer for Brands: this one will be in high demand soon, if it’s not already. Brands have so much more flexibility and control when it comes to creating a virtual influencer from scratch, but a lot goes into this. Find a team of your favorite AI creators and offer social media services, ghost writing, and consultation for brands to support with the development of their virtual influencer.

I went to ChatGPT for support with the AI twin I’m currently building for myself right now. This is my way of practicing for when game time comes.

Here’s the advice I got from our friendly AI chatbot:

Creating a virtual influencer from scratch on Instagram is a fascinating and innovative project that blends creativity, digital marketing, and technology.

Here’s a structured plan to guide you through the process:

1. Concept and Design

- Define the Persona: Decide on the virtual influencer's personality, background, interests, and the niche they will cover. This step is crucial for creating content that resonates with your target audience.

- Visual Design: Create a visually appealing character using 3D modeling software or collaborate with digital artists. Consider aspects like style, fashion, and the overall aesthetic that aligns with your target audience's preferences.

2. Branding and Positioning

- Unique Selling Proposition (USP): Determine what makes your virtual influencer stand out. It could be their backstory, the causes they support, or the type of content they share.

- Target Audience: Clearly define who you are targeting. This will influence your content strategy, tone of voice, and marketing efforts.

3. Content Strategy

- Content Calendar: Plan your content in advance. Include a mix of posts, stories, and possibly IGTV videos or Reels that align with your influencer’s persona and audience interests.

- Engagement Plan: Decide how your virtual influencer will engage with followers. Consider comments, direct messages, and collaborations with human influencers or brands.

4. Technical Setup

- Content Creation Tools: Invest in software for 3D animation, video editing, and graphic design to create high-quality content.

- Automation Tools: Use tools for scheduling posts, analyzing engagement, and managing interactions. Familiar platforms like Hootsuite and HubSpot can be beneficial here.

5. Launch and Growth

- Soft Launch: Start by teasing the arrival of the virtual influencer to generate interest.

- Official Launch: Introduce your influencer through a series of well-planned posts. Consider leveraging Instagram ads to gain initial visibility.

- Growth Strategies: Utilize hashtags, collaborations, and engage in trending topics to grow your audience. Paid promotions targeted at your ideal audience can also boost visibility.

6. Monitoring and Optimization

- Analytics: Regularly review your virtual influencer's performance using Instagram Insights and external analytics tools. Pay attention to engagement rates, follower growth, and content performance.

- Iterate: Use the insights gained from analytics to refine your content strategy, engagement tactics, and any other aspect of your virtual influencer's presence on Instagram.

7. Legal and Ethical Considerations

- Transparency: Be transparent about your virtual influencer being a digital creation. Followers appreciate honesty, and it helps in building trust.

- Compliance: Ensure compliance with Instagram’s policies and any relevant advertising or marketing laws.
