The big idea
Adults will pay $30-$80/hour for someone to sit with them and teach them how to use ChatGPT, Claude, or Midjourney for their actual job. Real estate agents, lawyers, small business owners, and grandparents are the easiest market. You don't need any certification — you need patience and a list.
Some examples
- A 16-year-old in Ohio runs a $35/hour 'AI for Realtors' practice via Zoom — booked through her mom's professional network. $1,400/month part-time.
- Etsy and Fiverr both let teens (with a parent-linked Stripe account) sell custom GPTs and prompt packs for $5-$50 each.
- Local libraries and senior centers hire teens to run 1-hour 'Intro to ChatGPT' workshops — typical pay $50-$150 per session.
- Posting 'I'll set up Claude/ChatGPT on your computer for $40' on Nextdoor often gets 5+ responses in a weekend.
Try it!
Write a one-paragraph offer: who you help, what you do, what it costs, how to book. Send it to 5 adults you actually know — your parent's coworkers, a teacher's spouse, a coach. The first 'yes' usually comes within a week.
