Transcripts

making money as a student is tough every

single day you have eight hours of

classes followed by a few hours of

extracurriculars then you have to come

home eat dinner shower and then study

for the rest of the night the average

student doesn't have room for a

part-time job to make some extra money

which is exactly where side hustles come

in in this video I'm going to break down

three side hustles I did back when I was

a student the first side hustle is

content creation so back when I was 12

years old I made my first YouTube

channel and to be honest I wasn't trying

to make money I was just having the time

of my life uploading Minecraft videos to

YouTube but after a while my account

became eligible for monetization and I

realized I could actually make money

uploading gaming videos to the internet

immediately I went up to my parents had

them set up AdSense and soon enough my

channel was making like $10 to $20 per

day which wasn't bad for a teenager okay

I know what you're thinking go hard this

sounds great and all but what am I going

to make videos about I have two

suggestions first if if you have a hobby

whether it's gaming coding cubing

gardening lifting or whatever it is

share your passion on social media post

walkthroughs tutorials or even Vlogs

showing people the ups and downs of your

journey all right and my second idea if

you're interested in a certain academic

subject whether it's computer science or

organic chemistry post tutorials to

YouTube now if you're uncomfortable

putting your face out there or simply

don't know how to edit that's where the

sponsor of this video comes in nid ai

nid ai introduces a a very cool way of

turning your ideas into videos all you

have to do is type your idea into a box

and this tool will automatically

generate a video with voiceovers clips

and more so let's go ahead and see this

tool in action so once you head to NV

video's website click on sign up and

you'll see a page like this where you

can create your account once you log in

you'll see the following page and this

is where the magic happens this tool is

very similar to Chad GPT or Bard you

simply type in detailed instructions and

it'll generate the the exact kind of

video that you're looking for now I know

this might be a little bit intimidating

you might be sitting here wondering to

yourself what in the world do I type

into this box well lucky for you N Video

AI provides workflows which can help you

construct your prompts we have a couple

options here we have YouTube Shorts

YouTube explainer recent events video

and script to video I'm going to go

ahead and click on YouTube explainer and

let's go ahead and generate a video

about photosynthesis and there we go

I've also told it to describe in detail

the different organal and processes

involved and we can also add some

creative directions so I'll go ahead and

tell the AI to make the video a little

bit humorous and entertaining as for the

background music I'll go ahead and tell

it to choose something more a beat now

here you can select the gender and the

accent for your narrator's voice I'm

just going to go ahead and leave these

as any I'll go ahead and tell it to use

subtitles I'll leave Watermark text as

is and we can use IO normally now let's

go ahead and press continue and as you

can see the tool automatically

constructed a prompt and placed it into

the text box now all we have to do is go

ahead and click on generate a video

video all right and here we go the tool

is working its magic now this part

usually takes a few minutes but it's

still pretty quick all right and it's

finished generating the video the title

is photosynthesis the green Factory

unveiled let's go ahead and play the

preview ever wondered why plants don't

need a grocery store get their food

plants have mastered the process of

photosynthesis an amazing mechanism

where they use sunlight and carbon

dioxide to create their own food so as

you can see it's pretty decent for an AI

generated video and the voiceover sounds

really natural but if there are some

parts of the video that you want to

modify

it's super easy to make edits all you

have to do is click on this edit button

and then you can either edit the clips

or the script for example if I click on

this video clip I can modify the

duration and I can also see the exact

part of the script it corresponds to now

if we go to the edit script tab this is

where I can modify parts of the script

for example here maybe I want to make

this line more concise so I can go ahead

and remove these words and there we go

you can also modify the clip for this

line by clicking on this button and

editing the media keywords all right all

right so once you're happy with your

modifications go ahead and click on

apply changes and there we go the tool

is now modifying the script now if you

feel like that edit window was a bit too

complicated there's an even easier way

to modify the video there's this little

promp box right over here you can type

in a command and just tell it what to do

so for example right here there's an

option for make this scene half as long

it's too wordy I'm going to go ahead and

put that in click on generate and let's

see what it does all right cool and it

shorten the first scene as we can see

the time stamp went down from like 420

to 404 and you can use a bunch of other

commands as well like change the voice

over from male to female or make the

subtitles appear word by word and pop

now once you're happy with the result

you can go ahead and click on export and

we have a couple options here we can

remove the watermarks we can remove the

Nvidia AI branding and we can also

select an export resolution now if you

want to remove the watermark and export

in high quality I recommend you upgrade

to a paid plan which starts for as

little as $20 a month on top of that the

paid plan will give you access to

millions of royaltyfree stock footage

Clips along with a more humanlike

voiceover check out the link in my

description or in the comments to get

started with nid AI all right now once

again huge thank you to nid AI for

sponsoring this video but now let's move

on to the second side hustle tutoring so

back in college I became a computer

science tutor for nearly a year I had

three students I was meeting with over

Zoom each for an hour a week and

honestly it was pretty manageable with

all of my coursework now if you want to

get started with tutoring there are a

couple steps that you have to follow the

first of which is figuring out what you

even want to tutor in the first place do

you want to tutor in academic subject

like algebra biology or history or do

you want to tutor a standardized test

like the SAT or the act now there is a

slight trade-off here you'll probably

make more money tutoring a standardized

test but it's also harder to do that the

people who are looking for standardized

test tutors usually want someone who has

scored above A500 on the SAT or a 33 on

the AC C on the other hand if you want

to become an academic subject tutor most

people just want someone who Ace the

class now if you want a tutor in person

you can generally charge more but of

course you'll have to arrange your own

transportation and coordinate meeting

times with your students your marketing

will also depend a lot on Word of Mouth

and referrals now if you want a tutor

online you'll generally earn less but

it's a lot more convenient you don't

have to worry about transportation and

you might not have to worry about

marketing if you work for a larger

Tutoring company but just keep in mind

that these companies might take a slight

cut of your earnings as they're bringing

the students to you alternatively you

could start your own tutoring business

and use social media to promote it

either way whether you're just tutoring

one or two students or start a whole

tutoring business it's a pretty fun and

rewarding way to earn some money now the

third side hustle is web development and

the reality is you don't even need to

know how to code now back in high school

I set up and managed a website for an

organization in my community and they

didn't want me to code anything from

scratch they just needed someone who

could use a platform like WI and set up

a couple web pages and if you're young

and Tech savy that's not a super hard

thing to do the reality is there are

probably tons of people businesses and

organizations in your local community

who want someone to help them set up a

super simple website so if this sounds

even somewhat interesting to you here's

what I recommend you do reach out to

local businesses and organizations and

see if they need help upgrading or

setting up a website now if you're too

nervous to send cold emails to

businesses or if they're just not

responding you can also ask your parents

teachers or even your guidance

counselors see if they can point you to

anyone who might need help and the best

part about this side hustle is that you

can take it even further if you end up

helping a local business with their

website you can also end up helping them

with their social media with their

copyrighting with their graphic design

of course this will all depend on how

much time you have and your exact

expertise level but if there are any

older businesses in your area I'm sure

at least a few of them would appreciate

a nicer website if you're just getting

started I recommend you charge per

project and if you're using a website

builder to set up a couple web pages

maybe you can charge anywhere between

$100 to $200 now of course if you know

how to code and design and are

programming the website from scratch you

can probably charge something in the

thousands but for most students I think

something simple and sweet is the way to

go all right guys so that wraps up this

video hopefully it helped out and if it

did be sure to like And subscribe and

I'll see you again next time
