Top 10 Dumbest Side Hustles on YouTube

This is my latest video, and as always, I have high expectations.

BUT … in this case, I actually believe this one’s going to “blow up.” More on that later on in this post.

First, I just want to explain why I made this video and how I selected the dumbest side hustles.

If you’re in the habit of searching for things like make money online on YouTube, you’re going to see tons of garbage. But it all looks so shiny and real.

Spoiler alert, the vast majority of the side hustles you’ll find on YouTube are complete fiction. And even worse, these videos get hundreds of thousands of views, sometimes millions even, and the comments are astounding. People THANK YouTubers for this trash because they don’t realize that it’s all fake BS.

Researching whether AI voiceover channels get monetized by YouTube

Right now I’m in the middle of planning my next video which will be an “expose” of sorts. Well not really, but I’m going to take a close look at a video by YouTuber Joshua Mayo, and I’m going to point out the things he says that I think are legitimate, and also the things he says that I disagree with.

Yes, you really CAN make money by posting rain videos to YouTube … but there’s a little catch

It might seem hard to believe that you can upload a video to YouTube that’s four, six, even 12 hours long … and all it features is the sound of rain. And maybe a looped video of a rainy forest scene or something.

But before publishing my latest video, I looked into this extensively, and guess what? It IS possible. In fact, there are probably hundreds, or more likely thousands, of YouTube channels that are making money right now from this kind of content.

But if you comb through Google search results long enough, you’ll find various claims that YouTube is demonetizing, or removing ad revenue, from channels that upload looped rain and other sound effects.

So what gives?

Introducing LARRY, Piczoid AI’s Assistant

Made with Midjourney, LARRY is a star in the making!

Although that video about Midjourney’s concept of beauty is the very first video published on the Piczoid AI YouTube channel, this video is truly the first one that features any actual content. And even though it counts as content, it’s really just an intro to the channel and what Piczoid AI content will be about.

The intent of this video was mainly to just kind of get my feet wet. I needed to get in front of the camera and speak, which is something I’m not used to.
