AI tools you'd use

Why it works

People pay for the convenience of consuming content through audio rather than text. AI voice generation has reached quality levels good enough to sell, but AI still mispronounces niche terms, drops emotional emphasis at paragraph breaks, and cannot adjust pacing for complex explanations. Human editing is what makes the output saleable.

How it makes money

Per deliverable + retainer

How to start

  1. Build a demo reel with 5 different voice styles and audio formats: narration, conversational, dramatic.
  2. Sign up for ElevenLabs and create a custom voice clone or select professional voices that match common project types.
  3. Target content creators and course sellers who need voiceovers but are camera-shy or lack recording space.
  4. Offer audio versions of existing blog posts and ebooks as an upsell service starting at $50 per 1000 words.
  5. Use ElevenLabs for narration generation and Descript for post-production editing and noise reduction.
  6. Deliver files in MP3, WAV, and chapter-marked M4B for audiobook platforms.
  7. Manually review every 5-minute segment for mispronunciations, awkward pauses, and tonal inconsistencies.
  8. Create a revision policy: two rounds of changes included, additional rounds at $25 each.
  9. List services on Fiverr, Upwork, and niche communities like Indie Hackers.
  10. Ask for a testimonial after every completed project and build a portfolio page.
  11. Upsell background music and sound effects at $30 per project for a more polished final product.
