In this episode, we explore the rise of modern cottage industries — and how AI is transforming the way people create income from home.

For generations, cottage industries helped families earn extra money using the skills they already had. Today, in a shifting economy, these small home-based businesses are returning… but with a powerful new advantage.

AI now acts as the extra pair of hands every cottage entrepreneur wished they had — helping with planning, marketing, content, research, admin, and automation. With the right tools, anyone can turn a hobby, skill, or simple idea into a sustainable online income.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• What traditional cottage industries looked like
• Why they’re rising again in today’s economy
• How AI makes starting a home-based business easier than ever
• Real examples of AI-powered cottage industries
• Five business ideas you can start with AI today
• A simple 3-step roadmap to begin your own

Whether you're creating digital products, offering a service, or turning a hobby into a business, AI lets you grow without overwhelm — and fits around family, work, and real life.
