Patrick Dang · 11 High Paying Claude AI Side Hustles You Can Do At Night 🌙 ↗
One of 11 ideas covered in this video
Instead of hiring real people, you use AI video tools to create virtual influencers and user-style product videos for brands. You produce the content and sell it to brands as a service. Brands pay per video or on a package.
Dang presents this as a bonus option for people who do not want to manage human creators. He says AI-generated UGC has become good enough that he sometimes cannot tell it is AI while scrolling Instagram, and that some brands already use it. He recommends Higgsfield for producing the characters and videos. He gives no specific pricing or score for this one.
Fits people comfortable with AI video tools who prefer working alone rather than coordinating creators.
This is the thinnest idea in the video, with no pricing, demo of client results, or outreach plan. Many brands prefer real people for trust, and AI-generated testimonials can raise disclosure and platform-policy issues, especially if presented as real customers. Tool costs and fast-changing capabilities also mean low barriers for competitors. The video is sponsored by Higgsfield, the creative tool he recommends throughout, and it repeatedly pushes his free Claude skill pack, a free 3-day live training, and calls with his team for paid coaching.
