How to Make money in 2026 by using AI to build websites for local businesses.

 This video by Ross Minchev outlines a practical, AI-driven side hustle for 2026: creating and selling professional landing pages to small, local businesses that lack an online presence.

The step-by-step process:

  1. Find the Niche: Use ChatGPT to identify popular or evergreen brick-and-mortar businesses (e.g., barber shops) (0:10-0:53).
  2. Prospecting: Search Google Maps for businesses within your chosen niche that do not have a website (0:58-1:26).
  3. Build the Landing Page: Use an AI tool like Bolt to generate a stylish, functional landing page by providing the business's name, address, working hours, images (via screenshot or download), and customer reviews (1:28-4:15).
  4. Outreach: Use ChatGPT to draft a persuasive email or SMS text to the business owner, showcasing the demo landing page you built specifically for them (4:35-7:06).
  5. Monetization & Scaling: Offer the landing page for sale. While a standard professional site might cost $1,000, you can start by offering yours for $100–$200 to build momentum (7:06-7:22).

Pro-Tips for Growth:

  • Stay Flexible: If a client requests changes (like color adjustments), use AI to update the code instantly (7:26-7:45).
  • Continuous Learning: Use Google's "Learn About" feature to educate yourself on the fundamentals of high-converting landing pages, such as compelling headlines and strong calls to action (8:32-9:40).
  • Expand Your Scope: Consider reaching out to content creators who have outdated websites that need a professional polish (9:40-10:20).
