Are you curious about AI but don’t know where to start? I was just like you. I was 20 years old and had no idea what AI could do. Then I discovered a five-step system. These steps helped me explore AI, learn it, and finally start earning. Here’s how I did it.
Explore AI Tools
I started with no goal to earn money. I only wanted to see what AI could do.
I used tools like ChatGPT to generate text. I played with image generators like MidJourney. I also tried AI voice tools like ElevenLabs and PlayHT. I used Canva’s AI features and even made short videos using Pika Labs and RunwayML.
This helped me understand the possibilities. I didn’t worry about being perfect. I just tested everything I could find.
Understand How AI Works
After trying many tools, I wanted to understand how AI actually worked.
I searched for videos like “How ChatGPT Works.” I learned about things like tokens and transformers. I started to understand how AI reads and writes text.
This step made everything feel real. I was not just using tools. I was learning the logic behind them. It made me more confident.
Learn Prompting
Prompting is the way you talk to AI. It is like asking the right question to get the best answer.
At first, I would just type random things. But then I realized that better prompts gave better results.
I practiced writing prompts for text, images, and even code. I used tools like Notion and ChatGPT to generate emails, scripts, and summaries. My prompts kept getting better.
Now, many companies look for people who are good at prompting. It’s a real skill.
Go Beyond Text
Text is just the beginning. I started making AI images, voices, and videos.
With MidJourney, I created high-quality art. I used ElevenLabs to turn text into voice. I made video clips using AI tools. Some of these tools let you create videos just by typing a scene.
I used these skills to make content for social media. I posted short videos, created designs, and made presentations. People started noticing my work.
Start Earning
After learning and creating for fun, I was ready to earn.
I offered AI services to small businesses. I helped friends with AI content. I even started my own YouTube channel using AI-generated voice and video.
You don’t need to wait to be an expert. Start small. Try one thing. Post it. Improve it. Then try again.
If I could do it from zero, so can you.
