The First 100 with AI 30-Day Starter Plan for People 50+

The First $100 with AI

A 30-day starter plan for people who have lived a bit

You’ve seen the online money circus.

Highly caffeinated twenty-somethings talking about “hustle” and “passive income” while juggling seventeen apps, three side hustles, and a ring light they pretend isn’t there.

That’s not you.

But somewhere, usually when you’re making tea or staring out of a window, a thought keeps turning up uninvited:

Could I actually make money from what I know?

The answer is yes.
And no, it doesn’t involve becoming an influencer, learning crypto, or pretending you’re excited about Instagram Reels.

What this guide actually does

It walks you through one sensible method — slowly, clearly, and without drama — for turning something you already know into a small digital product that people will pay for.

Nothing clever. Nothing scalable. Nothing that requires a personal brand.

By the end of 30 days, you’ll have:

• one simple AI-assisted guide, checklist, or short report, finished and for sale
• your first real sales (the first $50–$100, not theoretical millions)
• a process you can repeat whenever you feel like it

No empires.
No funnels.
No pretending this is your “new chapter.”

Just proof that you can still make something useful — and a bit of money to go with it.

How the month works

The plan is deliberately boring. That’s why it works.

Week 1 — Find your “knowledge goldmine”
The things you know so well you forget they’re valuable. The stuff people have been asking you about for years.

Week 2 — Create the product
AI does most of the heavy lifting. You supply the judgement, taste, and experience.

Week 3 — Put it somewhere people can buy it
A simple Gumroad setup. No website. No technical nonsense.

Week 4 — Tell a few people it exists
Calmly. Politely. Without sounding like you’re about to launch a startup.

That’s it.

What you get inside

You’ll get clear prompts to paste straight into ChatGPT — for outlines, drafts, titles, and descriptions.

You’ll get the “dinner party test,” which is a reliable way of spotting what you’re actually good at (and what people would happily pay you to explain).

You’ll get short scripts for reaching out to early buyers without feeling like you need to apologise.

And you’ll get weekly checklists so you’re never wondering what you’re supposed to be doing next.

Who this is for

This is for people who:

• have decades of experience and no desire to shout about it
• want to earn some money online without feeling faintly embarrassed
• can spare a few hours a week for a month
• would rather do one thing properly than seventeen things badly

You don’t need:

• technical skills
• social media confidence
• previous online selling experience

You just need a browser, ChatGPT (the free version is fine), and something worth sharing — which you already have.

Why your age helps, not hurts

Here’s what the younger gurus don’t understand.

People don’t pay for enthusiasm.
They pay for having been there.

They want solutions from someone who has actually dealt with the problem — not someone who discovered it last Tuesday and built a Notion template about it on Wednesday.

Your first $100 won’t come from competing with twenty-five-year-olds on their turf.

It’ll come from standing comfortably on yours.

The part nobody says out loud

This guide isn’t really about the money.

It’s about refusing the quiet story that says you’re finished.

AI has arrived at exactly the right moment for people like us. It doesn’t care how old you are. It doesn’t ask for credentials. It’s perfectly happy to turn experience into outlines and drafts at inconvenient hours of the night.

Your job is to bring judgement, restraint, and lived sense.

The money is useful.
The feeling of being relevant again is better.

Written by someone who’s done this — more than once.
One small problem. One modest product. One first $100.

After that, you decide what happens next.
