How do I keep up with new AI tools?

Follow ProductHunt daily, subscribe to AI newsletters (TLDR AI, The Rundown), and join AI communities on Twitter/X and Reddit. Being first to review drives massive traffic.

How do AI tool channels make money?

Tool affiliate programs ($10-50 per signup = ₹800-4,000), YouTube ads (₹100-400/1K views), selling AI prompt packs and courses, and tool sponsorships.

What AI content gets the most views?

'Best AI tools for...' lists, ChatGPT trick/hack videos, 'AI vs Human' comparisons, and new tool demonstrations. Anything showing impressive AI capabilities goes viral.

Do I need technical knowledge?

Basic comfort with software is sufficient. Most AI tools are designed for non-technical users. Your value is showing practical applications, not explaining algorithms.
