Want to make passive income online with zero experience, no tech skills, and barely lifting a finger? This may be the laziest but most effective AI side hustle you’ve seen.
Intro: AI is Changing the Game (Even for Lazy People)
Let’s face it—most "make money online" advice either requires advanced skills, a huge time investment, or constant effort. But what if you could automate 80% of the work using AI, write blog posts you didn’t write yourself, and sell products you never have to touch?
Welcome to the world of AI-powered blogging + dropshipping. Let me break this all down, step-by-step, using a real example and show you how to copy the system.
Step 1: Find a Niche Blog That’s Monetized with Dropshipping
Jump onto Google. Type in a random niche topic like "how to use a dog harness."
You’ll notice some basic blog articles. Nothing fancy. But when you check the site, they have a Shop section with physical products (like dog harnesses, paw cleaners, leashes, etc.).
Most of these sites don’t ship the items themselves. They use dropshipping suppliers, meaning:
- A customer finds the blog article via Google
- They click through and buy a product
- The dropshipping partner ships it out (you do nothing)
It’s that simple.
These blogs are ranking on Google and driving traffic organically, with simple articles. And many of them don’t even write the content themselves.
Step 2: Confirm They’re Making Real Money
Copy the domain of a niche store you found.
Now go over to Zik Analytics (or any competitive research tool). Paste the domain and analyze sales.
Some of these stores are pulling in $90,000+ in 90 days.
Even if that blog contributed to just a portion of that, it proves the model. SEO + content + dropshipping = profits.
Step 3: Build Your Store in 3 Minutes with AI
You don’t need to design a site from scratch. There are AI store builders like:
- Hostinger AI Website Builder
- Shopify Starter Kit
With these, you can:
- Choose a niche (e.g. pet products)
- Let AI generate a clean, professional store
- Load in dropshipping products automatically
Example: I built a dog niche store in less than 5 minutes. It included:
- Pet harnesses
- Paw cleaners
- Grooming tools
It even handled product images, pricing, and layouts.
Step 4: Use Make.com to Automate Blog Posting with ChatGPT
Here’s where the automation magic happens.
Make.com lets you:
- Read blog titles + keywords from a Google Sheet
- Pass the data to ChatGPT (OpenAI API)
- Auto-write SEO blog articles
- Auto-post them to your Shopify store
Let’s break it down.
What you’ll need:
- Google Sheet with: Blog Title, Target Keyword, Product Link
- OpenAI account + API key
- Shopify store
Step-by-step:
- Connect Google Sheets to Make.com
- Tell it to read new rows with title, keyword, link
- Connect OpenAI and use a detailed blog writing prompt
- Generate 700+ word SEO-optimized blog articles
- Auto-post it to Shopify with hyperlinks to your products
Each article drives traffic automatically, and you can queue dozens in advance.
Example Workflow in Action
Let’s say the article is titled: "How to Clean Your Dog After a Walk"
- Keyword: dog walking
- Product: Dog Paw Cleaner
You add that info to your Google Sheet. Click Run Once in Make.com.
Within seconds:
- ChatGPT writes the article
- It’s formatted, SEO-friendly, and includes affiliate-style product links
- It posts live to your blog
Now you have evergreen content bringing traffic, without writing a word.
Rinse and Repeat
Once you get one article live, you can scale up:
- Add 10+ topics to your Sheet
- Schedule Make.com to run daily
- Watch your blog grow passively
Soon, your store has dozens of articles that:
- Drive organic search traffic
- Link back to your product pages
- Convert readers into customers
It’s basically set-it-and-forget-it content marketing.
Bonus: Automate Order Fulfillment Too
Don’t want to manually process orders?
Use tools like:
- AutoDS
- DSers
These tools will:
- Sync your Shopify orders with suppliers
- Automatically fulfill and ship orders
Now you’ve got:
- Automated store creation
- Automated blog traffic
- Automated order fulfillment
You’re basically running a full eCom business in the background.
What Makes This the Laziest Online Income Stream?
- No writing
- No product handling
- No shipping
- No customer service (if you outsource that too)
- No cold outreach
Just Google Sheet inputs + Make.com + ChatGPT = Passive SEO traffic + sales.
My Final Thoughts
This isn’t a "get rich quick" trick. But it is:
- A scalable model
- Beginner-friendly
- Perfect for those with zero experience
If you stick with it, build content consistently, and focus on niche products, you can earn passive income even while you sleep.
