I made a high schooler $1000 with AI. How?! Let’s talk…

Hey rebel,

I have a story for y’all and it’s one I’ve kept pretty under wraps. But I wanted y’all to be the first I share it with…

I helped a high schooler make $1000 with AI and it was the most SATISFYING feeling ever!! (read this whole newsletter for how this could be you 👀)

For context, I, Swetha, am kinda known as the GPT gal in many communItIes (because I post everywhere about the benefits of AI and offer to help businesses). One day, I was asked by a content creator with 50K+ followers to build a custom version of ChatGPT trained on her books that her team could use for newsletter and social media content.

Read the end to find out what I ended up doing for her…

On the topic of building out an insane project for a client…

Through our IMPACT 10 sprint, Jeremy has become a seasoned coder and tech pioneer 👊

But now he’s elevated his game…

Leveraging his LLM and Cloud d’Skills, he’s created an AI assistant for podcasts to ENRICH the listening experience for business owners -- offering contextual highlights and interactive features -- proving once again how our young rebels are leading the charge in innovation.

And speaking of dropping knowledge…

Listen in on an incredible session with our visionary co-founder, Hannah Williams, on Thrivemore with Roger Martin. 

Our founder Hannah’s journey from a homeschooler to a trailblazing entrepreneur is one like no other.

This episode is a gem if you are looking to navigate the education and career maze.

Continuing my story:

A couple months earlier from when that content creator with 50K+ followers reached out to me, high schooler Sophia Patznick🛸, who is my friend and former student in one of the d'Skills AI bootcamps, came to me with that same idea for that same creator. So who better to work on this project with than her?

I invited her to the project, and the results blew me away. I had simple drafts for a customized AI, but she took them and added sparkle, depth, and pizzazz. She was really flourishing here, more than I could have ever done alone. The business owner was INCREDIBLY pleased with the work and actually used it for her upcoming content.

Which is why when I was given $2000 as a thank you, I did not hesitate to give her $1000 as well as invite her onto more projects that I come across.

Moral of the story is -- If you're a high schooler, here’s my formula for success:

1. Learn AI skills

2. Keep a keen eye on how AI can make other people’s lives easier (aka how to make yourself useful). 

3. Post about it and reach out! 

Those 3 things together wIll put you in the TOP 1 PERCENT for college admissions as well as job applications. AND give you a boatload of cash on top of that.

And if you don’t know where to start, don’t worry. We got you.
