My Journey from Zero to $500/Month
Hi, I’m Abhishek Thakur, founder of EarnHubs.com. I’ve been in the blogging and content creation space for over 6 years. As a software engineer by profession and a creator by passion, I always believed in smart work over hard work.
In 2025, I unlocked a new source of income — combining AI tools with social media. Within just a few weeks, I was consistently making $500/month (₹40,000+) — all by using free or low-cost tools and sharing content online.
This blog is not just a guide — it’s my story, my system, and your roadmap if you want to earn online with zero experience.
Why AI + Social Media is a Goldmine in 2025
AI is no longer just for techies. With tools like ChatGPT, Canva AI, Pictory, and Jasper, anyone — yes, even a beginner — can create content that attracts traffic and generates income.
Pair that with Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook, and you’ve got the perfect setup for:
- Affiliate sales
- Product promotions
- Digital services
- Passive income
Step-by-Step Guide: How I Earn $500/Month
Step 1: Choose a Profitable Niche with Affiliate Potential
I focused on tools people already search for, like:
- Canva
- Grammarly
- Jasper AI
- Systeme.io
- Hosting platforms
These tools offer affiliate programs — meaning I earn a commission every time someone signs up through my link.
Tip: Most tools offer $20–$100 per signup. Just 10–20 conversions = $500+.
Step 2: Use AI to Create High-Quality Content Quickly
Here’s how I use AI daily:
- ChatGPT for writing scripts, captions, and video hooks
- Canva for thumbnails and Instagram posts
- Pictory.ai to create YouTube Shorts and Reels from blogs
- Jasper AI to write longer posts for EarnHubs.com
I still add my personal experience to keep content human — because authenticity builds trust.
Step 3: Post Daily on Social Platforms
I posted:
- Quick tutorials (30–60 sec)
- Tool comparisons
- AI tips and hacks
- “How to” guides in Hindi and English
Where?
- Instagram Reels
- YouTube Shorts
- Facebook Reels
Each post had my affiliate link in the bio or comment.

Step 4: Build Trust and Engage
People only click affiliate links if they trust you. Here’s what worked for me:
- Showing my face and voice in Reels
- Sharing monthly income screenshots
- Giving genuine tool reviews
- Replying to every comment or DM
Result: My followers started DMing me for affiliate links!
