The AI Side Hustle That Takes 2 Hours Per Week

When James Chen, a burned-out software developer from Seattle, first stumbled upon prompt engineering, he wasn't looking to start a business. "I was just trying to make my own job easier," he laughs. "Now I'm making more from my side hustle than my day job, and I barely touch it during the week."

The Hidden Opportunity in AI Prompt Engineering

The numbers speak for themselves. According to recent industry reports, businesses are spending millions on AI implementation, yet 68% struggle to use these tools effectively. This gap has created an unprecedented opportunity for skilled prompt engineers.

"I was skeptical at first," admits Rachel Torres, a former technical writer turned prompt engineering consultant. "But when my first client paid $500 for a set of prompts that took me 90 minutes to create, I realized this wasn't just another tech bubble."

Why This Side Hustle Actually Works

Unlike typical "get-rich-quick" schemes, AI prompt engineering requires real skill and delivers tangible value:

Leveraged Expertise: Create once, sell multiple times

Low Overhead: No inventory, no staff, no office needed
