Tested 5 AI side hustles for 30 days with no audience: only 1 paid rent
An honest 30-day experiment with hour-by-hour tracking: an AI faceless Instagram page died in 6 days ($0, 84 followers), AI logos on Fiverr made $15 for 8 hours of work, an AI resume service got zero sales from a new profile, and an AI-tools newsletter reached 19 subscribers — all friends. A useful anti-hype data point: generic AI hustles fail without niche and trust. Self-reported, n=1.
