97. Make Money with AI: Zero to $1M in 1 Year

The UpFlip Podcast

Joe Popelas has made more than a million dollars his first year selling AI-generated books. He’ll share how to start a business with AI in this podcast episode.

Reaching 7 figures in a single year is no easy feat in any business, but Joe’s story is especially impressive. He started his book brand while attending college full-time as a computer science student. Even more remarkable: he’d never written a full book before launching his brand. In this episode, he’ll explain how he learned the ropes of publishing and leveraged his knowledge of AI to grow his business in an untapped niche.

One of the secrets to Joe’s quick revenue growth: he makes more from ads than from book sales. Building brand awareness in the right niche has allowed him to maximize his profit from all sources. He shares his insights on finding and reaching the right target audience, along with his tips for utilizing AI effectively, in this interview. If you’re wondering how to make money with AI, Joe’s tips are an excellent place to start!
