Fuck dropshipping, Fuck claude code, Fuck building AI startups it's all for poors The easiest way to print $30k/mo with AI in 2026 is running a fake old lady on tiktok who sells vitamins to women in their 60s.... 99% of you won't do it because it's too embarrassing to admit Total tool stack to operate one of them: $300/mo ChatGPT $200 (automation using Dots) Higgsfield $15 (AI avatar) ManyChat $15 (the DM funnel) Gumroad FREE That's the entire infrastructure for a business that does $30-50k/mo Move 1. Build the character in Higgsfield. Pick a real older woman archetype. Chinese grandmother for cooking. Asian monk for wellness. Latin abuela for natural remedies. Move 2. Run the 14-day warming sequence. Don't post AI videos on day 1. Browse for 3 days. Comment for 4 days. Post 8 normal videos for 7 days. Day 14 start the real content. Skip this and you get shadow-banned in week 3 Move 3. Pick 5 starter products. Filter to women 38-65 categories: kitchen, home, beauty, supplements. Skip products with under 50 sales/week. Pick winners with 4+ stars and 3+ creators making sales Move 4. Write the 18-second BOF script. Hook line ("if you're over 50 and your knees crack, this is for you"). Demonstration with one specific number. CTA referencing the yellow basket icon. Product visible from second one Move 5. Automate posting 6 videos a day. Most will flop. By video 100 you'll have 1-2 winners pulling 200k-500k views. Duplicate the winners 30x. Don't tweak. Move 6. Set up a manychat trigger before day 1.
