Aight bro, I know I’ve been ghost for a minute—life be life-ing, you know how it goes. But yo, that actually ties right into what I wanted to talk to you about today: money.
And not that “crypto bro” or “Forex king with the rented Lambo” kinda money. Nah, I’m talking that “catch the wave early, flip it, and chill while it cooks” type of money. That real “let the world sleep while I build” bag.
It’s wild, man. People out here building generational wealth just by jumping on the right trend at the right time. One smart move, one trend you hop on before everyone and their grandma catches on—and boom—you’re set up nicely. While the crowd’s out here arguing on Twitter or watching the trend die, we’re out here waxin’ up our boards, riding that thing into the sunset.
If you got a phone, a working brain, and even just a spark of hunger in you, bro? This is your moment. 2025 and 2026? Goldmine territory. For real.
So lock in. Grab your coffee. Your tea. Your protein shake. Whatever. I’m about to run you through a few trends that are practically begging you to turn ’em into a bag.
1. GTA 6 – The most expensive game in history
Expected Release: 2025 (Take-Two already teased it, and trust me, the internet’s gonna break)
When GTA 6 drops, it won’t just be a game—it’ll be a cultural moment. We’re talkin’ memes, streams, mods, merch, and probably a few relationship breakups too because someone played 12 hours straight. Honestly this game is going to cause some real life problems for people. Cash in bro lol
How to Make Money:
- YouTube or TikTok Gaming Channel:
Start now. Build a channel focused on GTA lore, funny clips, breakdowns of trailers, mod showcases, cheat code content, etc. When it drops? Boom. You’re already riding the SEO wave. Monetize via ads, sponsors, affiliate links to gear. - Modding (PC only, but powerful):
Learn to create mods or custom content. You can sell exclusive mods on Patreon, or offer services to streamers who want custom setups. People pay for that GTA drip. - Merch:
Launch parody-style merch. Think Vice City-inspired vintage shirts, funny NPC quotes, or fake brands from the GTA universe. Use Printful or TeeSpring. Zero inventory needed. - GTA-Focused Dropshipping:
Sell GTA-inspired LED lights, posters, or gaming accessories. Make meme ads. Trust me, GTA fans will eat that up.
2. AI Tools and Automation
AI isn’t going anywhere, why? because people are lazy, stupid and greedy but thats just my opinion. Anyway, it’s becoming the new hammer-and-nail for every hustle. What used to take you 4 hours now takes 4 prompts and a little coffee. So how can you benefit from this intelligence? Walk with me
How to Make Money:
- AI-Powered Freelancing:
Use tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, ElevenLabs, or whatever’s hot to crank out logos, voiceovers, articles, or product descriptions. You don’t have to be an expert, just know how to prompt well and deliver clean. - AI Prompt Marketplaces:
Sell optimized prompts on sites like PromptBase. You’d be shocked how many people are lazy and just want to plug-and-play a prompt that gives them fire content. - Content Repurposing Agency:
Offer services where you use AI to repurpose one long-form video into shorts, carousels, tweets, blog posts, etc. Businesses want omnipresence but hate the grunt work. - Niche AI Tools + TikTok:
Make videos showing how obscure AI tools can help specific industries. Throw in an affiliate link. “This AI tool helps real estate agents close more deals” cut to tool demo. Boom. Clicks = cash.
3. Digital Collectibles and Virtual Fashion
You ever see those kids dropping cash just to make their Fortnite or Roblox avatar look fresh? Not even kidding—they’re out spending real money on digital drip!!! And it’s not just games anymore. Even Instagram’s getting in on this digital fashion stuff. Wild.
Listen man, you gotta cash in.
How to Make Money:
- 3D Modeling and Selling Digital Outfits:
Learn Blender or use AI-based 3D tools to design virtual clothing. Sell it for Fortnite, Roblox, or other platforms that support custom skins and items. - Partner with Micro-Influencers:
Make digital fits and pay micro-creators to wear them in-game or post them on IG. Sell your collection in virtual marketplaces. - NFT Fashion? (But make it smarter this time):
Yeah, NFTs are the ex that left us high and dry, but the tech still has potential. Focus on utility-based NFTs—like unlocking exclusive in-game skins or real-world discounts.
4. Niche Subscriptions
Think OnlyFans… but for gardeners, dog trainers, or chess nerds. Everyone’s trying to go viral. You? You’re building recurring income with 200 true fans paying $10/month for something of yours. That’s $2k/mo. No dancing needed.
How to Make Money:
- Start a Paid Community:
Pick a niche you love. Dogs, muscle cars, vintage watches, crypto memes—anything. Build a Discord or private IG group. Share tips, links, exclusive content. - Sell PDFs, Templates, Swipe Files:
Use Notion, Canva, or Google Docs. Package checklists, planners, or guides. Example: “$19 Notion template for crypto portfolio tracking” or “Ultimate Dog Training Tracker.” - Use Platforms Like Gumroad or Substack:
You don’t need a website. Slap your content on one of these platforms and share it on Reddit, TikTok, or X (Twitter).
5. Low-Effort TikTok/Affiliate Hustles
ikTok is pushing that Shop feature like they owe someone money. Like—it’s aggressive. You drop a video and link a product? The algorithm eats it up. Loves it. It’s like they’re rewarding you just for trying to sell something.
They’re basically handing out free traffic. No cap.
You don’t even have to be some influencer with a million followers. Regular folks are going viral just by tossing up a video with a linked product. It’s wild. TikTok wants you to win right now because if you win, they get a cut. So they’re practically rolling out the red carpet for anyone who plays the game.
How to Make Money:
- Join TikTok Shop Affiliate Program:
Review trending products. Make unboxing vids, test clips, funny skits. You don’t even need to buy the item—use their video library. Get paid per sale. - Find Trending Products Early:
Use sites like TrendHunter, TikTok’s Creative Center, or even AliExpress’s trending tab. Make content before it blows up. - Create Themed Pages:
Start a page around one theme (e.g. “Cool Tech Finds” or “Gamer Desk Setup”). Review Amazon or TikTok Shop products, drop your affiliate link in bio.
6. UGC (User-Generated Content) for Brands
Basically, get paid to make iPhone videos for companies.
The honest truth is people are done with cheesy / fake commercials. They want stuff that looks like a regular person filmed it while drinking a smoothie in their car. Stuff you can trust you know… Originality.
How to Make Money:
- Pitch Yourself to Brands:
DM small biz accounts: “Hey! I make UGC videos that help you sell more without looking like an ad. Want to collab?” Send examples. Charge $50–$500/video. - No Need to Post:
You don’t need a following. You film, you send it to them, they use it. All you need is decent lighting, clean audio, and some energy. - Use Sites Like Billo, Banzai, or Trend.io:
These platforms link creators with companies looking for quick UGC. Easy money if you’re comfortable on camera.
7. Event-Based Side Hustles (Olympics, Elections, Trends)
Every major event brings temporary hype. That’s where the real sharks feast
How to Make Money:
- Election-Year Merch or Content:
Funny shirts, parody mugs, memes, or explainer videos. Doesn’t matter what side you’re on—both sides buy stuff. - Olympics 2026 (Milano-Cortina):
Start a TikTok channel covering athlete backstories, sports rules, or highlights. Brands will sponsor you closer to the event if your account’s growing. - Create Theme Pages or Accounts:
Start an IG/TikTok for “Olympics Fun Facts” or “2026 Winter Watch.” Build it now, cash in later.
Final Thoughts: Be the Early Bird
most people screw up ‘cause they wait until the hype is blaring on CNN or your grandma’s sharing it on Facebook. By then, the party’s half over and you’re stuck with FOMO.
Your move? Slide in when it’s still whisper-level. Hop on the wave, ride it out, and bank those wins.
Here’s the kicker—you don’t need some billion-dollar brainwave. All you need is one solid trend, one hustle you actually vibe with, and the guts to grind it out for a couple months. That’s literally it.
So whether you’re clowning around in GTA 6, hawking the latest TikTok gadget, or turning AI-made memes into quick cash—just dive in. Doesn’t matter if it looks messy at first. Doesn’t matter if you’re ghosted on your first drop. The money rolls in for the dudes who don’t blink when it’s go-time.
Your move.
