What's the current "Meta" in Making Money Online?

By "Meta", I don't mean the company. In gaming terms, such as Marvel Rivals, Meta simply means what characters are working the most consistently in the game and getting wins. Buffs means characters that got better, nerfs mean characters that got worse. So in regards to making money online, I'm trying to pick methods that are good NOW. And that will hopefully still be good later. For instance, due to AI, I believe Copywriting has been nerfed into the ground. Among other things.

However, I've become very good at making stuff utilizing AI. Images, videos, music, a lot of creative stuff. Not sure if the Porn Reupload method is still feasible, but I've also made several edits and montages I'm wondering can be monetized or not. Among other things, I've heard AI TikTok Influencer doing Affiliate Marketing could be good. And how about Dropshipping? That's the big OG, is it still viable? I want to know what's actually worth my time. How about using Claude to help design websites for businesses?

Thanks for any input! The only money I'm making online is about a dollar a day from Etsy selling AI generated PNG's...not enough, I need to scale, and I'm not sure Etsy is the right call! I need to know the right move!

I think AI strategist and similar designations are getting a lot of attention these days, Comapnies and agencies pay highly for strategists that make theor product appeal better and stand out

Thanks for your input. I'm good with AI utilization, but not sure what an AI strategist is...or even how to get the work. Linkedin, with a good portfolio of work?

generate slop
step 3

step 4
repeat slop
step 5
sleep while slop slopping

I feel AI-powered content creation, short videos, and affiliate marketing are worth considering right now. AI can also be helpful for creating websites for startups. Dropshipping is still viable, but competition and advertising costs make it challenging. I’d focus on one niche and see how it goes.

Generate slop of what kind tho and sell it where what ? For example sellong websites is pretty oversaturated

By the time a method becomes the "meta" and is widely discussed, it's probably already crowded enough that newcomers are fighting over the scraps. People don't usually give their potential competitors a how-to guide.

You have customers now. Instead of abandoning that to chase some popular and oversaturated niche that will probably flop, examine WHY your customers are buying from you and build around that.

Well gurus have made a course on everhthing from yourube faveless , roblox dev ,scamming to iptv doesnt mean thsoe things don't work anymore tbh?

Yes, all of those can generate income under the right circumstances.

That's very different from it being newbie-friendly. And I certainly wouldn't call developing content for a 20+ year old game, reselling someone else's platform, scamming, or AI slop that gets taken down in minutes, "current meta".

OP already has an income-generating method. They should examine why it works and build off of those lessons, not throw it away because they heard some random buzzwords from anonymous users on an internet forum.

No such thing as new meta as u said all those things still work the "right circumstances " are just not posting what gurus saying but doing ur research everyone starts as a newbie and the methods i mentioned can make u good money since i don't know what u mean by right circumstances since in my opinion a new meta isnt needed if u learn , research , be disciplined
