Figure Out What to Charge for Your Side Hustle

Most teens either charge too little (and burn out) or too much (no customers). AI helps you research what is fair — based on your costs, your time, and what others charge.

Some examples

• 'I am tutoring middle schoolers in math. What should I charge per hour?'
• 'I make custom Etsy art. Help me price it.'
• 'I am babysitting in [area]. What is fair?'
• 'I want to charge a friend for design work. What is reasonable for both of us?'

Choosing a price is scary. Too high = no buyers. Too low = no profit. AI can help you design a fast experiment to find the right number using real customer reactions, not guesses.

Some examples

• 'Design a 3-tier pricing test for my lawn-mowing service.'
• 'What price points should I test for a $20-50 product?'
• 'How would I know my price is too low? Too high?'
• 'Write 2 versions of my Instagram bio with different prices to test.'

If you have a hustle, ask AI to design a 1-week price experiment. Run it with real friends or local customers.

Buyers don't know what something should cost — they compare to whatever's next to it. AI can design a 3-tier pricing test (good, better, best) so the middle option becomes the obvious pick and your average sale price jumps.

Some examples

• Ask ChatGPT to design a 3-tier pricing structure for your product so the middle tier wins.
• Ask Claude to math the breakeven on each tier so none of them lose money.
• Ask Gemini for the script that explains the tiers without sounding pushy.
• Ask Perplexity which pricing endings ($9, $9.99, $10) convert best in 2026 ecommerce data.
