Making Money Online with AI Tools: Episode 1 - Data Collection

It has been over three years since I first started using AI tools to make money online, and I still see a lot of opportunities out there. However, I often find that I don't have enough time to execute on all my ideas. Instead of letting these ideas go to waste, I decided to create a YouTube series to share my knowledge with others. Today, I present to you the first episode of this series, which focuses on the topic of data collection.

Data collection plays a crucial role in leveraging AI technology to generate income. It provides valuable insights and patterns that can be used to make informed decisions and uncover profitable opportunities. In this article, I will walk you through some quick examples of data collection techniques that you can implement today.

Before we dive into the examples, I want to clarify that the cases I will present here are real use cases that I have personally executed. I want to distance myself from any scams or unethical practices. The earnings and revenue I will showcase are genuine, and they demonstrate the passive income potential that can be achieved through AI tools.

Let's start by exploring the various opportunities for data collection.

Opportunities for Data Collection

1. Upwork: Upwork is a popular freelancing platform, and it offers numerous data scraping projects. By searching for keywords like "data scraping," "data mining," or "data analysis" on Upwork, you can find a wide range of projects. For instance, you may come across a project that involves extracting information from a targeted website and saving it in a CSV file.

   • Example project: Web scraping - Extract information from a targeted website and save it in a CSV file.
   • Payment: $15 (one-time project)
   • Time required: Approximately 5-10 minutes

2. Glassdoor: Glassdoor is a website that provides insights about companies, job salaries, and employee reviews. It can serve as an excellent source for data collection. Let's take the previous example of extracting salary, employer estimates, job titles, and company information from job postings.

   • Save the job postings page as an HTML file.
   • Use the AI code interpreter to upload the HTML file.
   • Extract the job position, company name, and salary information.

   • Store the extracted data in a table and export it to a CSV file.

     

     • Job Position: AI Software Engineer
     • Company: Glassdoor
     • Salary: $100,000 - $120,000

3. Other E-commerce Websites: E-commerce websites, such as Amazon, offer a vast amount of data that can be scraped and analyzed. For instance, you can search for a specific product category, like "wireless doorbell camera" on Amazon, and collect and scrape prices from the listings.

   • Extract the product name and price from the product listings.

   • In case the price is missing, leave it as null data.

     

     • Product Name: Wireless Doorbell Camera
     • Price: $59.99

How to Collect Data

Now that we have explored some examples, let's review the step-by-step process of collecting data using the code interpreter.

1. Upload the HTML file containing the desired data.
2. Identify the specific elements (e.g., job position, company name, salary) from the HTML file.
3. Use the code interpreter to extract the desired information based on the element identification.
4. Organize the extracted data in a structured table format.

5. Export the table to a CSV file for further analysis or use.

   

Visualizing the Data

Data visualization plays a significant role in conveying insights effectively. Adding visualizations to your collected data can enhance its presentation and make it more impactful.

In the Glassdoor example, we extracted job positions, company names, and salaries. To create a visualization, plot the average salary on the x-axis and the number of job postings on the y-axis.

This visualization showcases the distribution of salaries offered for a specific job position. It demonstrates the average salary range and helps job seekers understand the market trends. Consider including this visualization in your job application to demonstrate your data analysis skills and stand out from other candidates.

Conclusion

Data collection using AI tools offers substantial opportunities for making money online. In this episode, we explored different examples of data collection, such as web scraping job postings and extracting product prices from e-commerce websites. By utilizing AI code interpreters, these tasks can be accomplished efficiently and almost automatically.

Remember, starting with simple data collection projects allows you to hone your skills gradually. As you gain experience, you can move on to more complex and lucrative projects. Stay tuned for future episodes in this YouTube series, where we will explore various AI tools and strategies to generate passive income online.
