While you were making your logo, LOGO.com’s AI quietly built a website around your brand. Same logo, same colors, same fonts, already assembled and waiting.

The AI 80%: Design, layout, copy, and a free web address are already done. Templates regenerate around your brand in one click, so trying a new look never breaks anything.

1. Open it. 👉 See your website for {{business_name | your brand}}

2. Press Publish. Your site goes live on a free web address instantly.

Total time: Under 5 minutes.

In June, 51% of small business owners reported few or no qualified applicants for the jobs they were trying to fill. Walk down any main street and the “Now Hiring” sign has been in the window since spring, and the job post behind it is usually three lines copied from a competitor.

The AI 80%: Paste in the owner’s rough job description and what makes the job worth having, and AI rewrites the post so the right person sees themselves in it, with a title people actually search for, real pay, the actual hours, and one honest paragraph about the place. Start with this prompt: “Here is a job post that got almost no applicants. Rewrite it for a local [type of business]. Use a plain job title people search for, put pay and hours in the first three lines, describe a real day on the job, and end with a two step way to apply. Keep it under 250 words. Then write five interview questions that test for the traits this job needs.”

The pricing: Charge $99 per role for the rewritten post, or $249 for the post plus the interview questions and a one page offer letter. Ten roles a month is about $1,500, and the owner who finally hires someone will tell every other owner on the block.

1. Ask what went wrong. Ten minutes with the owner about the last three hires tells you what the post needs to say.

2. Put pay in writing. Owners resist listing pay, and posts that hide it tend to get skipped, so this is the conversation you get paid for.

3. Post it for them. Load the finished post onto the two job boards their town actually uses and send the owner the link.

Total time: About 1 hour per role.

Nonprofits win about 4 in 10 of the grant applications they submit, according to a review of 91,000 of them. The catch is that someone has to write the application, and the youth soccer club, the food pantry, and the school parent group down the road usually have nobody who can.

The AI 80%: AI turns the group’s mission, last year’s numbers, and the funder’s guidelines into a full first draft, including the parts everyone dreads, the need statement, the budget explanation, and the how we will measure it section. Start with this prompt: “Here is a description of our nonprofit, what we did last year with numbers, and the guidelines for a grant we are applying to. Write the full application under the funder’s own headings. Match their language, keep every answer inside their word limits, and flag anything you had to guess so we can fill it in.”

The pricing: Charge $500 per application, or $1,200 a month to run three applications for the same group. Charging a share of the award is against the grant professionals’ code of ethics, so stay on flat fees. Four small groups on retainer is $4,800 a month.

1. Start with groups you know. Your kid’s school, your church, the rec league, anyone with a bake sale and no fundraising staff.

2. Get the real numbers. Funders can smell a made up figure, so pull last year’s actual people served and dollars spent before you write a word.

3. Track the deadlines. One shared calendar of due dates is half the value you provide, because most small groups miss grants they could have won.

Total time: About 4 hours per application.

Every parent has printed a tracing page at 7am, and every teacher has spent a Sunday night making a worksheet from scratch. Kids learning printables are one of the few digital products people buy again and again, because a four year old needs a new one every week, and nothing has to be printed, packed, or shipped.

The AI 80%: AI writes the whole activity set, the letter tracing pages, the count and circle pages, the cut and paste sequences, plus the answer keys and the listing text. Start with this prompt: “Design a 30 page preschool alphabet workbook. For each letter give me one tracing page, one beginning sound picture page, and one find and circle page. List the exact words and pictures for each page, then write a 150 word Etsy listing description and 13 tags.” You lay it out in Canva with clean fonts and one friendly character, and export the PDF.

The math: Proof shop PrintableDandelion has passed 100,321 sales across 301 listings in four years, most of them preschool and kindergarten worksheet bundles priced under $10, with a 4.9 rating from about 6,000 reviews.

1. Pick one age and one skill. Preschool letters, kindergarten numbers, or first grade reading, one lane so the shop looks like it knows what it is doing.

2. Print it yourself first. Run every page off your home printer in black and white, because that is how parents will print it, and fix anything that eats ink or cuts off.

3. Show the pages filled in. Your listing photos should show a child’s crayon work on the sheet, not a blank file, so buyers picture their own kid finishing it.

Total time: One weekend to build the first bundle, then about 2 hours a week.

Once people land on a company’s homepage, 52% want to see the About page, and on most small business sites it is either missing or three lines that say “we are passionate about quality.” It is the page people read right before they decide whether to trust you.

The AI 80%: One paste writes the whole page. Save this prompt: “Here is how my business started, who it serves, and what we care about. Write an About page in the first person. Open with the one moment that made me start, explain who we help and how, include one honest line about what we are not, and end with what a customer can expect from their first visit or order. Keep it under 300 words and give me three headline options.”

The math: Zero dollars and about 15 minutes once, and the page half your visitors go looking for finally sounds like a person.

1. Tell it the real story. The prompt only works if you give it the true beginning, the layoff, the recipe, the garage.

2. Add one photo. A picture of you or your team, not a stock handshake, does more than the words can on their own.

3. Publish it today. Paste it into your site and link it from your menu, so it is there the next time someone checks you out.

Total time: About 15 minutes, once.

Neighbor Diplomat. For $8, you describe the problem, the 2am bass, the hallway shoes, the dog that barks at nothing, and get back a note for their door that is firm, friendly, and impossible to be offended by, plus a follow up for when the first one is ignored. 🎵

Why it might actually work: Everyone has stood in a hallway holding a pen, unable to write the first line without sounding either scared or furious. Eight dollars to skip the awkward stairwell conversation is the easiest y/aes in the building.

The AI 80%: AI takes the complaint and the neighbor’s likely reaction and writes three versions, gentle, direct, and last warning, each one opening with something kind, naming the exact problem and time, and offering one easy fix, so nobody has to knock.

1. Keep the form tiny. What is the noise, when does it happen, and have you spoken to them before. Three questions, nothing else.

2. Read it as the neighbor. If any line would make you defensive on your own doormat, cut it.

3. Sell the sequel. Deliver the note, then offer a $5 landlord letter for the neighbors who never quiet down.

Total time: About 5 minutes per note.
