• Its step-by-step guide, cost ideas, SEO keywords, example DMs, and a fabricated success story (which sounds legitimate)

Let's break it down in complete detail.

Introduction: How Is This Even a Thing

By 2025, AI software is intelligent, convenient, and stronger than ever. What used to require a whole team, studio mic, and sound editing skills to achieve can be achieved from a phone in about 10 minutes.

Teenagers and young adults are facing the demand for customized, high-quality voice messages: motivational memos, humorous voice-overs, birthday greetings, wake-up calls, lovey-dovey shout-outs, breakup tips, and even soothing bedtime scripts.

But here's the best part — they're not even recording them themselves. They're letting AI do the talking. They just have to create a brief script, type it into an AI voice program, add on some background noise, and sell it as a digital product.

It's low effort, high leverage. And the best part? Most people have no idea that this even exists yet. Which makes it one of the greatest "hidden gem" side hustles out there today.

Now, let's dive into exactly how you can do it, even without experience.

Step by Step: How to Create AI Voice Notes That Sell

This is a method that involves totally free tools and is done from your laptop or phone.

Step 1: Develop Voice Note Script with ChatGPT

You'll want to start with a short, engaging script. Think about what kind of voice notes people would actually pay for:

• Morning motivation

• Affirmations

• Love letters

• Mock insults

• Individualized guidance

• Custom voicemail greetings

• Study tips, reminders for productivity, or tips

Tool: ChatGPT (chat.openai.com – free to use with basic account)

Example question to utilize:

"Record a 30-second voice note script for an anxious public speaker. It should be encouraging, confident, and conversational."

ChatGPT will provide a good base, and you can adjust the tone to your taste. Add some slang, be humorous, switch the point of view, or make it more emotional as per your reader.

Save your finished script in a plain text file or a notes application.

Step 2: Generate the Voice with ElevenLabs or PlayHT

This is where the magic comes in — transforming your typed script into a high-quality, natural-sounding voice note.

Tool Selections:

• ElevenLabs

• PlayHT

Both the platforms have free trials and natural-sounding AI voices. Here are the steps to utilize them:

1. Register for a free account

2. Insert your script here

3. Select a tone of voice that suits your vibe (young, welcoming, lively, relaxed, etc.)

4. Adjust speed or tone if appropriate

5. Click "generate" and wait for several seconds

6. Save the audio file (typically .mp3)

Don't miss attempting the audio — if it is stilted and robotic, re-do your script and re-record.

Step 3: Edit and Enhance with CapCut

CapCut is a simple, free video and audio editor. You can use it on your phone or computer.

Why redo the voice note? Because some background music or ambiance makes it sound 10x more professional.

Steps in CapCut:

1. Import your audio

2. Add a music track or background noise (lo-fi, piano, ambient sound, soft beats)

3. Decrease the volume of background audio to 20–30% so the voice remains audible

4. Cut off any excess silence at the start or the finish

5. Export as an MP3 (if you're editing audio) or MP4 (if you want a waveform view)

There are royalty-free music tracks available in CapCut or on websites such as YouTube Audio Library and FreeSound.org.

Optional: Add captions or sound effects if you'd rather convert it to video content.

Step 4: Save and Organize Your Work

Use a process to get work done quicker and look more professional to clients.

Create folders as follows:

Files > AI Voice Notes > Orders > ClientName_Date

Inside, save:

• Final audio (.mp3 or .mp4)

• Original script (.txt)

• Insert additional notes or special requests

• A "thank you" message paper or delivery text template

This keeps you organized and allows you to easily repeat orders.

How to Sell Your Voice Notes (Even If You Have Zero Followers)

With your quality product now established, it's now time to monetize. Below are four user-friendly platforms to start monetizing your AI voice notes.

1. Fiverr

Fiverr is ideal for beginners. People go there exactly to pay for services like yours.

What to do:

Create a gig titled: "I will provide a customized AI-created voice message (Motivational, Romantic, or Humorous)"

• Offer 3 price points (refer to below pricing section)

• Use the following phrases: "AI voice note", "custom message", "motivational sound"

• Add some sample demos — give 10-second demos showing what you can do

• Add the following upsells: "Extra fast delivery", "Add background music", "Make it romantic/funny/spooky"

Make sure your Fiverr profile is welcoming, personal, and professional.

2. Instagram

You don't need a huge following for your sales — you need core content and an incentive for people to contact you through DM.

Strategy:

• Post Reels of "before and after" (script vs. final voice note)

• Use captions like: "Want one? DM me 'VOICE' to order yours today."

• Put pricing and examples in a Highlight

• Use hashtags: #voiceover, #aivoice, #custommessage, #sidehustle

You can also work with micro-influencers who will endorse your voice notes for free samples.

3. Telegram

Telegram is ideal for voice communities. Everybody enjoys fast, emotive, or useful voice content.

Strategy:

• Start a public channel

• Leave daily or weekly voice messages (motivational, humorous, romantic, informal)

• Ask individuals to message you for orders.

• Offer special content or daily notes subscriptions

Imagine it as your own personal audio fan base. Establish consistency and you can build it fast.

4. Gumroad

Gumroad is for selling products passively online. No user interaction necessary after the initial setup.

Concepts:

• Bundle packs like "10 Study Motivation Notes" or "5 Romantic Voice Messages

• Sell them for $5–$20 depending on length

• Share on Instagram or Reddit

• Automatically send the files through Gumroad when bought

This is ideal for people who would prefer to earn money while sleeping or preparing for college.

Fake But Plausible Teen Success Story

Let's talk about Mia. She's 16, from Ohio, and started making AI voice notes during spring break.

In her first 10 days:

• Used ChatGPT + ElevenLabs to produce her first 3 voice notes

• Created a simple Fiverr gig and promoted it using her own Instagram

• Price $5–$15 per order

This is how her income was divided:

• 6 fundamental orders for $5 = $30

• 4 regular orders that cost $15 = $60

• 1 high-quality order for $35 = $35

Total: $125 in 10 days — about $12.50/day

She said that her friends didn't even trust her until she showed them screen shots of her Fiverr dashboard.

Example Messages You Can Use to Sell

You don't need to be pushy. You simply need to be friendly and helpful. Here are wordings you can repeat:

Instagram DM Example:

- "Hi! I make custom voice notes using AI — motivational, funny, or love. Do you want to hear a sample? I charge between $5–$35 depending on length." -
