By Abhishek Thakur | Founder – EarnHubs.com

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!
