Most people still think AI is just for writing emails or generating pictures.
But in 2026, AI isn’t a trend — it’s the new business infrastructure.
If you know how to use it right, you can automate your income streams and make money while others are still figuring out prompts.
I’m going to show you exactly how to do it.
This is how to make money with AI in 2026 — using systems that build, grow, and sell for you.

Why 2026 Is the Best Year to Start
The AI wave isn’t coming.
It’s already here — and it’s moving faster than anyone predicted.
Every month, new tools like NotebookLM, Gemini, and Claude get smarter and easier to use.
And if you know how to combine them, you can create full business systems that run automatically.
That’s what I’ve done with these three frameworks.
Each one is simple, free to start, and proven to make money with AI in 2026.
Let’s break them down.
System 1: The Skool Community Growth Engine
If you want to make recurring income in 2026, build a community — and automate it with AI.
Skool communities are booming right now because they blend education, content, and membership into one platform.
With the AI Community Growth Engine, you can build your own in 30 days — powered by free AI tools.
Here’s how it works.
Step 1: Find Your Niche Using AI
Use Gemini or NotebookLM to find underserved audiences.
Ask:
- “What niche communities are growing fastest in 2026?”
- “Which topics have low competition and high engagement?”
NotebookLM will summarize results and identify profitable sub-niches like “AI for teachers,” “AI automation for marketers,” or “YouTube AI systems.”
You’re looking for a niche that solves a real pain point.
Step 2: Build Your Course with Claude
Once you’ve picked your niche, use Claude to design your course or offer.
Ask it to:
- “Outline a 4-week curriculum for beginners in this topic.”
- “Write lesson summaries for each module.”
Claude will give you structure, titles, and exercises automatically.
Then upload that content to Skool — your digital classroom.
Step 3: Automate Marketing with Gemini
Now, use Gemini to generate community growth content.
Ask:
- “Write 10 YouTube titles that attract people to my Skool group.”
- “Create an email sequence promoting my free course.”
Gemini handles marketing, while NotebookLM keeps your materials organized.
AI does the heavy lifting so you can focus on members, not maintenance.
That’s how people are building $5K/month communities with zero employees.
System 2: The Bangkok Clip Engine
If you want to earn faster, this one’s for you.
The Bangkok Clip Engine is an AI-powered affiliate system that uses YouTube Shorts and TikTok clips to promote offers automatically.
You don’t film.
You don’t edit.
AI creates everything.
Here’s how it works.
Step 1: Pick a Product
Start with an affiliate program — software, courses, or AI tools you already use.
You can find dozens on sites like PartnerStack, Digistore, or Impact.
The goal is to choose a product that pays per sign-up or subscription.
Once you have it, move to step two.
Step 2: Build Your Content Workflow
Use Descript or CapCut to generate video templates.
Then feed AI scripts into them using NotebookLM or Claude.
Ask:
- “Write 10 video hooks for this affiliate product.”
- “Create a 45-second script explaining why this tool saves time.”
AI produces the entire content batch for you.
You can publish 5–10 clips a day without touching a camera.
Step 3: Automate Posting and Tracking
Schedule uploads using YouTube Studio or Repurpose.io.
Then use Gemini to analyze analytics reports automatically.
Ask:
- “Which videos have the highest watch time?”
- “Which affiliate links converted best this week?”
Gemini summarizes everything into action steps.
This system grows your audience and income without burnout.
In Thailand, we call it the Bangkok Clip Engine — because it runs while you relax.
System 3: The Free AI Profit System
This one’s my favorite because it costs nothing to start.
The Free AI Profit System uses Google’s tools to build mini-businesses that make money automatically.
No coding.
No experience.
Just smart automation.
Here’s how it works.
Step 1: Pick a Free AI Business Model
Choose one of these:
- AI newsletter
- AI automation agency
- SEO audit service
- AI course builder
Each of these can be run entirely with free tools.
Example: Use NotebookLM for research, Gemini for automation, and CapCut for content creation.
That’s your entire tech stack — free.
Step 2: Use AI to Create Your Offers
Let’s say you start an AI newsletter.
Use NotebookLM to organize trending AI updates.
Then tell Gemini:
- “Write a weekly newsletter summarizing these updates.”
It builds, writes, and formats the email for you.
You can then charge sponsors or sell affiliate slots once you grow.
Same goes for an SEO service.
Upload competitor reports to NotebookLM.
Ask it:
- “Find optimization opportunities for this client.”
It gives you insights instantly — no manual work required.
Step 3: Monetize Through Automation
Once you’re generating leads, connect Gemini with Google Sheets to track outreach.
Flows can automate follow-ups.
And CapCut can generate short videos promoting your service.
The Free AI Profit System gives you income with almost zero cost.
You’re using AI as your employee — not your expense.
Step 4: Scale Up
As your system grows, plug into the AI Profit Boardroom community.
You’ll meet other entrepreneurs scaling AI-driven businesses with real-world strategies.

Why These AI Systems Work in 2026
The reason these three systems are so powerful is because they compound.
Each system automates more as it grows.
The Skool Engine builds recurring income.
The Clip Engine brings fast cash flow.
And the Free AI Profit System creates long-term leverage.
Together, they form a business that runs even when you don’t.
That’s the power of automation — and the future of online business.
Real Example: From Zero to $3K a Month
One creator used the Skool Engine to launch a free AI community.
They uploaded YouTube tutorials, automated newsletters, and built a $10 membership tier.
In 60 days, they hit $3K/month recurring — all powered by AI.
Another used the Clip Engine.
They repurposed 100 affiliate clips into Shorts and made their first $1,200 in commissions.
Same process, different product.
That’s what makes this system universal.
Real Example: Agency Owner
An agency owner used the Free AI Profit System to offer automation services.
They used Gemini for client workflows and NotebookLM for research.
Within 30 days, they automated SEO reports and lead gen — saving 20 hours a week while closing more clients.
That’s what 2026 looks like — AI doing the work, humans collecting the results.
What’s Coming Next
AI isn’t slowing down.
By mid-2026, we’ll see AI building entire websites, sales funnels, and even customer service systems with no human input.
If you start learning these systems now, you’ll be miles ahead when everyone else tries to catch up.
Don’t wait for “someday.”
The time to make money with AI is now.
