Welcome to AI Paycheck, the show where we stop overthinking and start building systems that scale. In this episode, host Raje sits down with Arjun Iyer to break down the "Five Tool AI Side Hustle System" a beginner-safe workflow designed to help you validate, create, and automate your next big idea in under five minutes.


If you’ve struggled with picking the wrong idea or getting overwhelmed by "theory," this episode is your antidote. Arjun specializes in helping beginners build small income systems using AI Tools that focus on simple offers, simple content, and automated follow-ups. This isn’t about building complex products; it’s about putting the "boring parts on rails" so your side hustle fits into your nights and weekends.


Inside the 5-Tool System

The discussion centers on five specific AI Tools and how to use them in high-speed, repeatable workflows:

  • Google Trends (Validation): Learn how to compare search interest and spot seasonality. Arjun explains how to identify "intent words" like "template" or "services" to ensure you are building something people actually want to buy.
  • Perplexity (Research): Move beyond simple text generation. Use this tool as a research assistant to map audience pain points and scan competitors. Discover the specific gaps in the market like a need for "faster" or "simpler" solutions and turn those into offers.
  • Canva (Creation): Produce professional visuals, lead magnets, and product mockups without being a designer. Arjun shares a 14-minute sprint for creating a one-page "lead magnet" that you can trade for email addresses today.
  • Zapier (Automation): This is where content becomes a system. Learn to connect your lead capture forms to automated follow-up emails and tracking sheets so you don't have to copy-paste all day.
  • Notion (Operations): Create a "Side Hustle OS" to keep your ideas, leads, and tasks in one place. Arjun advises starting with just three databases leads, offers, and content to avoid the trap of "fancy workspace" procrastination.


Actionable Strategies & Expert Q&A

The episode also tackles the common hurdles beginners face. Arjun answers burning questions, such as how to manage a side hustle with only three hours a week and why a service-based offer is often the fastest way to get feedback and start earning.


You’ll learn the #1 metric for success in your first week: conversations started. If you can’t start a conversation, the offer is the problem, and Arjun explains exactly how to fix it before you waste more time on content.


The One-Week Challenge

We wrap up with a 7-day challenge to move you from zero to launched:

  • Day 1-2: Validate and research using Google Trends and Perplexity.
  • Day 3-4: Create your asset in Canva and post your offer.
  • Day 5-7: Track your leads in Notion, set up one Zapier automation, and review your results.


Stop guessing and start shipping. If you are ready to build a workflow that lasts, tune in and learn how to leverage these AI Tools to create your own paycheck.


Keep it simple. If you can run it for four weeks, you can grow it.
