Matt | Monetization & Growth @mattmonetizes

So what is the first step in the process of targeting the right business to start? Is it a job you think would be fun or expertise you have from past roles, maybe something you like to talk about? For me the focus is on Expertise and ROI which is data, the new gold!

Alright, lets do this. One struggle I see from people is getting an AI project started, what tools are being used, how are you promoting it, etc, so lets try it and track it on here.

How much do you need to live comfortably?

Don’t want to buy crypto? Earn it. → Use AI to create Telegram bots or Discord assistants → Sell access for USDT or $MATIC → Let users run paid queries (API calls) These bots do: ✅ NFT tracking ✅ Trading alerts ✅ Market analytics You don’t need VC money to earn on-chain.

WEEKEND CHALLENGE: Build a product in 48 hours with AI 🧠 Step 1: ChatGPT → outline 🎨 Step 2: Canva or Notion → format 🛒 Step 3: Gumroad → sell 📬 Step 4: Email list → launch Bonus: DM me the result, I’ll RT the best ones.

Drop this in ChatGPT 👇 “Give me 3 small digital product ideas I could create in 1 day that solve common problems in [your niche].” I’ve used this to launch offers that made $200+ in a weekend.

In the future: → You’ll launch a product → Give early buyers a token → The token grants access, community, and royalties I’ve started building AI products that unlock content only for token holders. Monetization meets loyalty. Web3 x SaaS is coming.

Stop asking: “What should I sell?” Start asking: “What do people already buy... but hate doing themselves?” → AI setup → Workflow builds → Systems cleanup People don’t buy your ideas. They buy relief.

If you lost your audience, email list, and income today… What would be your first step to rebuild a digital income stream? Don’t say “start over.” Say exactly what you’d do. Let’s see the operators 👇

Monetization isn’t the goal. Momentum is. $0 → $1 proves it works. $1 → $100 proves someone wants it. The money is a byproduct. The real win is belief.

If your product is great but sales are slow... Don’t just rebuild the product. Build the loop. → Tweet → Freebie → Email → Sale → RT customer feedback → New followers Attention should recycle. Not reset every time.

Urgency sells. But fake countdowns don’t. Here are 3 real ways to use scarcity that don’t feel scammy: → Limited bonuses → Founder support ends after 48hrs → “Founding customer” price locked in Build urgency with integrity.

What if your next passive income stream wasn’t a product… …but a micro-DAO that uses AI to run operations? → AI handles content, support, and email → DAO members fund it and share revenue → Smart contracts handle payouts AI = work Crypto = trust The new team? Code.

Me: “I’ll use ChatGPT to help with one email.” 45 minutes later: → Wrote 4 emails → Outlined a product → Built a landing page AI isn’t just a tool. It’s a team. (It also works nights.)

Creators chase likes. Operators build systems. One goes viral. One gets paid every month. Which are you building?

Before AI: → Burned out writing 4 emails/week → Stressed about launching After AI: → Generate 5 ideas in 5 minutes → Focus on strategy + selling Leverage > hustle.

My best-performing product wasn’t my most advanced. It was the simplest one. Why it worked: ✅ Solved a clear pain ✅ Easy to use ✅ Clear outcome You don’t need a big product. You need the right one.

What’s the most underrated passive income stream no one talks about? (Asking for research… and maybe a new product 👀) Drop yours 👇

Hot take: AI won’t replace jobs. But crypto + AI? It’ll replace middlemen. → Token-based access replaces subscriptions → On-chain prompts track usage + royalties → Smart contracts automate delivery This is SaaS 2.0 — and it’s already happening.

Most people think passive income means "do nothing." It actually means: → Do something once → Build a system around it → Let it pay you over and over That’s the mindset shift that changes everything.
