Why AI Tools Are Important for Making Money Online


 

Personally, the greatest bottleneck to making money online isn't talent or hard work—it's scaling what you do and having intelligent tools assist you. In a report by Forbes in 2025 (although not referenced here directly), companies that embraced generative AI had up to ~16 % improvement in conversion rates in pilot initiatives.

 

For creators and freelancers, that translates to being able to provide more value faster. And since the keyword "online earning in 2025" is trending, getting on now provides you with an SEO-advantage. Let's explore the tools.

 

Best AI Tools to Use

 Following are six tools that I tested and found useful for various streams of earning. Choose those that match your audience and skills.

 
1. ChatGPT (by OpenAI) – Content & Freelancing

 

Personally, I began by employing ChatGPT to write client blog articles and social-media posts. In less than one month, I got a freelance job on Upwork—due to the ability to write 2–3 articles within the time it took me to write one.

 

Use cases:

 

Freelance writing: product descriptions, blog posts.

 

E-book authoring: Created a short guide within 24 hours with ChatGPT + Canva, and sold on Gumroad.

 

Prompt engineering: Make and sell templates or prompts for ChatGPT to others.

 

Tip: Do not depend 100 % on the AI output—edit for accuracy and style. Example: Used ChatGPT to generate draft captions, then included local references ("Karachi market", "Sindh startup scene") to make them relevant.

 

2. Jasper AI – Marketing Copy & SEO

 

Jasper was my number one tool when I transitioned into affiliate content and landing-page writing. From what many blogs say, this is one of the trusted tools to monetise ad-text creation and copywriting.

 

Applications:

 

- Ads and email campaigns for customers.

 

- Affiliate marketing blog: employ Jasper to generate SEO-friendly articles and then monetize through affiliate links.

 

- E-commerce product descriptions: I paid a small local shop to rephrase 50 product descriptions with the help of Jasper's templates.

 

Tip: Use Jasper along with a keyword tool (e.g., Google Keyword Planner) and target long-tail keywords such as "AI tools online earning Pakistan". This does an SEO good.

 

3. Canva AI – Graphic & Social Media Design

 

Design was once an obstacle for most earnings streams—but with Canva AI I made it an income stream. I designed a set of YouTube thumbnails and social-media templates myself in an afternoon and sold them as a "branding kit" on a freelancer site.

 

Use cases:

 

- YouTube thumbnails, channel art.

 

- Social media post templates for small businesses.

 

- Digital product creation (printables, planners) to sell on Etsy or local marketplaces.

 

Tip: Include your local flavour—provide "Pakistan-style Instagram templates" or "Karachi café Instagram stories" to differentiate yourself in the freelancer pool.

 

4. Pictory / Synthesia – Video Creation

 

When I tested out faceless YouTube channels (you don't have to appear on-camera), Pictory and Synthesia were absolute lifesavers. Here's an example: I turned a blog article on freelancing into a 3-minute video with Pictory, and posted it to a Shorts channel. Within two months, the channel had reached monetisation levels.

 

Use cases:

 

Make YouTube shorts or whole videos.

 

Sell client video editing/creating services.

 

Create your own faceless channel based on a niche (e.g., "AI tools for Pakistan freelancers").

 

Tip: Use popular audio, make videos brief, and include a call-to-action like "check the description for my guide". Pair with Canva to create thumbnails to increase click-through.

 

5. MidJourney / DALL·E 3 – AI Art & Merch

 

One of my side ventures: creating digital artworks using MidJourney, and selling print-on-demand T-shirts and prints. Overhead was essentially zero and within weeks I got a few sales. Several blogs recommend this path to passive income.

Use cases:

- Make mockups and sell on Etsy/Redbubble.

 

- Sell custom logo or ebook-cover design services.

 

- Establish a niche brand on AI-generated artwork.

 

Tip: Mix an original prompt form ("Sindhi patterns + futuristic AI art") with a good keyworded listing ("AI art prints Pakistan 2025") to attract customers in your area and around the world.

 

6. Long-Lasting AI Website Builder – Website Development for Clients

 

If you are inclined towards web designing or small business services, I learned to create clean but professional websites using Durable AI Website Builder (and similar software) in less than an hour. Then I billed clients accordingly. Most freelancers utilize this for local business websites without requiring deep coding proficiency.

 

Use cases:

 

- Create a one-page site for a neighborhood café, tutor, or e-commerce.

 

- Build affiliate niche websites and monetize through blogging or advertisements.

 

- Provide "AI-constructed website + SEO listing" package.

 

Tip: Provide add-ons such as "Social media setup" or "Monthly content plan" to increase your value. I provided a "Website + Instagram kit" and charged a higher fee.

 

My Workflow & Tips from Real Experience

 

Here are some real-life strategies that I employed:

 

- Choose one source of income initially. I began with blog posts on ChatGPT + Jasper. After I gained income and reviews, I moved on to visuals and videos.

 

- Bundle services. E.g., I provided: "Blog post + social-media graphics + video snippet" – each with a distinct AI tool.

 

- Localise your offering. Highlighting "based in Karachi/Sindh", "Pakistani audience" served to differentiate me from international freelancers.

 

- Stay current. PolyEyes says that lots of new AI tools introduced in 2025 and early on gave individuals an advantage.


- Provide value first. Rather than telling them "AI tools will replace you", tell them "AI tools will strengthen you". That perspective assisted me in offering pitches assuredly.

 

⚠️ Mistakes to Evade

 

Don't just depend on AI and skip proofreading. People are human, after all.

 

Steer clear from "copy paste" questions without customizing them. Clients can identify copycat stuff.

 

Don't run after every tool. Master one or two first before moving on to the next. Most articles publish 10+ tools, but few are necessary.

 

Your Next Action Step

 

Choose one of the tools mentioned above today. Create a target such as: "I will provide one service with this tool by end of week". For instance: Write a blog post in ChatGPT + Jasper and put it up on Fiverr.

 

And then question yourself: What particular skill or niche do I cater to? (e.g., "Pakistani startup blogs", "YouTube thumbnails for gaming channels", "AI art for T-shirts"). And then iterate and scale.
