It was my encounter with AI that saved me after 3 years of wandering in side hustles [Personal Experience]
This article is [STEP 3] of the "Side Hustle Beginner STEP Series".
In the previous articles, I have discussed:
[STEP 0]: Why side hustles don't work out
[STEP 1]: The reality of the "side hustle hell" where effort isn't rewarded
[ST
I have talked about these topics.
This time, I will share a real-life personal experience about the "breakthrough" that helped me escape from that rock bottom.
"I've been doing side hustles for 3 years, but I have zero results..." "Maybe I'm just a person who can't do anything."
It was "AI" that saved the past me who was feeling so cornered.
Hello ☀️ I'm Ru-Nurse 😊
While working as a nurse, I am challenging myself with "ChatGPT x Side Hustles," aiming to eventually "graduate from nursing."
I tried everything in side hustles, and before I knew it, 3 years had passed. My money, time, and heart were worn out, and I spent my days as if I were groping in the dark...
But one day, thanks to a single encounter, my perspective changed.
✅ I couldn't write "text," so nothing moved forward
Kindle publishing, Instagram, reselling, product sales, blogging... No matter what side hustle I tried, I always stumbled at the same place.
That was the "wall of writing."
On social media, I worried about "how to write so people will read it"
In reselling, I would stop every time I had to write a product description
When I reread my sales copy, even I couldn't understand what it meant
I would spend hours squeezing my brain, only to feel depressed, thinking, "This kind of writing won't reach anyone..."
And gradually, I started to hate even looking at text, thinking, 'This just isn't for me.'
✅ What saved me was, surprisingly, 'AI'
One day, I tried inputting this into an AI.
'Turn these feelings into a well-written piece.'
Then, in just a few seconds, it returned a piece of writing that I could never have come up with on my own, yet it was 'exactly how I felt.'
I felt a mix of frustration and joy, and I almost cried 😭
'I can use expressions like this too.'
'Maybe I can keep doing this after all.'
In that moment, I felt like a ray of light had pierced through the darkness in my heart.
✅ What helped me overcome the 'barrier to publishing' was encountering note
Even after I could write text with AI, the next barrier appeared.
'So? Where am I supposed to use this text?'
I couldn't keep up with Instagram or TikTok because I just got too tired. With reselling, my energy was drained by sourcing and shipping, and expensive consulting ended without any results.
That was when I happened to come across note.
You can start for free
You can publish your own writing just as it is
No difficult marketing knowledge required
A place where I could post the text I wrote with AI just as it was—that became my 'first successful experience.'
'This is it! I finally found it!'
I thought that from the bottom of my heart.
✅ The turning point that helped me move forward when I was lost
When I overcame the 'writing barrier' with AI and the 'publishing barrier' on note, the learning and experiences that had been isolated dots until then finally connected into a single line.
I stopped worrying every morning about what I should do
Work changed from an 'obligation' to 'fun'
I started to think, 'Maybe I can do this too'
It felt like I had finally obtained a 'map' inside a maze.
Even without difficult knowledge or special skills, by utilizing AI and note, I began to see a form of side hustle that I could do too.
Now, I feel like I am moving forward at my own pace by steadily building up my posts on note every day.
✅ You can definitely change too
Honestly, I wandered for over 3 years in my side hustle and invested over 3 million yen without seeing any results.
Even so, the scenery changed completely after meeting just one breakthrough (= AI).
So, you will be fine too.
Even if you can't see the light yet, once you encounter the 'right breakthrough,' you will definitely be able to move forward.
