Today, I'm going to show you the real
way to use Perplexity AI professionally.
Most people are using this tool
completely wrong. I'm talking about a
tool that can help you research faster
than any human. It can write better
content than most writers. And it can
help you make money both online and
offline. This isn't just another AI tool
review. This is about using Perplexity
the right way to actually build income
streams. And I'm going to show you
exactly how to do it. Hey there. So, if
you haven't picked up on it yet, I'm

Hawaii's fastest growing marketing

links in the description. All right, now
let's get into it. Look, I used to work
full-time as a mechanic, getting dirty
every day, working with my hands, making
decent money, but nothing crazy. But
thanks to tools like Perplexity, I was
able to transition to making money
full-time online. And I'm going to show
you how you can do the same thing.
Here's the thing. Most people treat
Perplexity like Google. They ask simple
questions and get simple answers. That's
not how you make money with this tool.
Perplexity is way more than a search
engine. It's an AI research assistant
that can search the web in real time. It
gives you sources. It cites everything.
And it can have full conversations with
you about complex topics. But here's
what separates the people making money
from the people just playing around. The
money makers use Perplexity for deep
research. They use it to find gaps in
markets. They use it to create content
that actually helps people solve
problems. So, let me show you exactly
what I mean. When Perplexity launched
their revenue sharing program earlier
this year, most people missed it
completely. But smart creators saw the
opportunity right away. This program
pays content creators when Perplexity
cites their work. We're talking about
CPM rates over $50 per thousand views.
That's higher than most ad networks out
there. But here's the thing. You can't
just throw random content at the wall
and hope it sticks. You need to create
content that actually gets cited. And
that's where most people mess up. Let me
break down the strategies that actually
work. And I'm going to give you the
exact steps so you can start today.
Strategy number one, content creation
that gets cited. This is huge. Instead
of writing random blog posts, you use
perplexity to research what questions
people are actually asking. Then you
create detailed answers with real data
and sources. Here's how you do it. Go
into Perplexity and ask it to find the
top questions in your niche. Let's say
you're in fitness. Ask it for the most
common fitness questions people search
for. It will give you a list with real
search data. Then you take those
questions and create comprehensive
answers. But here's the key. You don't
just write fluff. You include real
studies, real data, real examples. The
kind of content that Perplexity will
want to site when someone asks that
question. When your content gets cited
in Perplexity Answers, you get traffic,
you get authority, and you get paid
through their revenue sharing program.
Strategy number two, affiliate marketing
done right. Most people do affiliate
marketing wrong. They just copy what
everyone else is doing. They write
generic product reviews that don't help
anyone. Here's what smart marketers do
instead. They use Perplexity to research
products deeply. They find real user
complaints. They find comparison data.
They find pricing trends. Then they
create content that actually helps
people make decisions. Not just this
product is great, buy it now, but real
analysis that helps people understand
what they're getting. I know someone who
makes thousands of dollars a month just
reviewing software tools, but he doesn't
just test the tools for five minutes. He
uses perplexity to research user
feedback from multiple sources. He finds
common problems. He creates detailed
comparisons. His reviews get cited
because they're actually helpful. And
when people click through to buy, he
gets commissions. If you're finding this

am currently offering for free. It also
includes an exclusive link to try out
the AI software I use in my business for
30 days free. The link's in the
description. Strategy number three,
consulting and market research. This is
where the big money is. Businesses need
research. They need market analysis.
They need competitor data. And most of
them don't have time to do it
themselves. But with Perplexity, you can
do research that used to take weeks in
just a few hours. You can analyze entire
industries. You can track trends. You
can find opportunities that businesses
are missing. I know consultants charging
lots of money for market research
reports that they create mostly with
perplexity. They're not just copying and
pasting. They're using it to gather data
from hundreds of sources. Then they
analyze that data and present insights
that businesses can actually use. The
recent news about Perplexity raising
$250 million shows how serious this
space is getting. Companies are
investing huge amounts of money in AI
research tools. That means there's huge
demand for people who know how to use
these tools effectively. Strategy number
four, course creation and training.
Here's something most people don't think
about. You can use Perplexity to create
educational content that you can sell.
Let's say you want to teach people about
digital marketing. Instead of just
sharing your opinion, you use Perplexity
to research the latest trends, the
newest strategies, the most current
data. Then you create courses that are
always up-to-date because you can
quickly research new information and
update your content. I've seen people
create entire training programs just by
using Perplexity to research best
practices in different industries. They
package this information into courses
and sell them for hundreds or thousands
of dollars. Now, let's talk about making
money offline. This is where most people
completely miss the boat. Local
businesses need help with research, too.
They need to understand their
competition. They need to know what
their customers are saying online. They
need to stay current with industry
trends. But most small business owners
don't have time for deep research.
That's where you come in. You can offer
research services to local businesses.
Help them understand their market
better, find new opportunities, track
what their competitors are doing. I know
someone who makes money just helping
local restaurants understand food trends
and customer preferences. She uses
perplexity to research everything from
menu trends to customer review analysis.
Businesses also need training. They need
their employees to stay current with
best practices. They need workshops on
new technologies and trends. You can use
perplexity to create training materials
that are always up to date. Then offer
workshops to local businesses or
professional groups. The key is using
perplexity to research the most current
information in any field. Then
presenting that information in a way
that helps people do their jobs better.
Let me tell you about the biggest
mistakes I see people making with
perplexity. Because if you're making
these mistakes, you're leaving money on
the table. Mistake number one, asking
vague questions. Most people ask
perplexity questions like, "How to make
money online?" That's way too broad. You
get generic answers that don't help
anyone. Instead, ask specific questions.
What are the highest paying affiliate
programs in the fitness niche? What
content gaps exist in the real estate
market? What customer service problems
do software companies struggle with
most? The more specific your questions,
the better insights you get. And better
insights lead to better money-making
opportunities. Mistake number two, not
following up. Perplexity can have
conversations. Most people ask one
question and move on. That's a huge
mistake. When you get an answer, dig
deeper. Ask follow-up questions. Get
more details. Find the angles that other
people are missing. For example, if
perplexity tells you about a market
trend, ask about the companies
benefiting from that trend. Ask about
the problems that trend creates. Ask
about related opportunities. The deeper
you dig, the more opportunities you
find. Mistake number three, not
verifying sources. Just because
Perplexity sites sources doesn't mean
you shouldn't check them. Always verify
important information. Always look at
the original sources. This is especially
important if you're creating content or
advising clients. You need to make sure
your information is accurate and
current. Now, let me share some advanced
strategies that can really scale your
income. Most people focus on one
industry, but the real opportunities
often come from combining insights from
different industries. Use perplexity to
research trends in multiple industries.
Look for patterns. Look for strategies
that work in one industry but haven't
been tried in another. For example,
subscription models work great in
software, but many service businesses
haven't adopted them yet. That's an
opportunity. Perplexity can help you
spot trends before they become obvious.
Research emerging technologies. Look at
patent filings. Track academic research.
When you can predict trends early, you
can position yourself to profit when
those trends take off. The rise of AI
tools like Perplexity itself is a
perfect example. Like the people who got
in early are making the most money. Now,
let me give you some real examples of
people making money with these
strategies. One content creator I know
researched cryptocurrency regulations
across different countries using
Perplexity. He found gaps in the
information available to investors. So,
he created a newsletter sharing
regulatory updates and analysis. Another
person used Perplexity to research local
business problems in her city. She found
that restaurants were struggling with
online reputation management. So, she
started offering reputation management
services. A consultant I know uses
Perplexity to create industry reports
for manufacturing companies. He
researches supply chain trends,
regulatory changes, and market
opportunities. Recent data shows that
the AI tools market is expected to reach
over $300 billion by 2030. Here's what
most people don't understand. We're just
at the beginning of the AI revolution.
Tools like Perplexity are going to get
better and more powerful. The people who
learn to use these tools now will have a
huge advantage as they evolve. You'll
understand how to get the most value
from AI research. You'll know how to ask
the right questions and interpret the
results. But here's the thing, the
opportunity window won't stay open
forever. As more people learn to use
these tools effectively, the competition
will increase. The best time to start
was 6 months ago. The second best time
is today. Recent announcements show that
Perplexity is adding new features
regularly, including better integration
with business tools and more detailed
analytics. This means the opportunities
are expanding, but so is the complexity.
The sooner you start learning these
tools, the better positioned you'll be.
Remember, I used to be a mechanic
working with my hands every day. Tools
like Perplexity helped me transition to
making money online full-time. You can
do the same thing if you're willing to
put in the work. The opportunities are
there. The tools are available. The only
question is whether you're going to take
action or just watch other people
succeed. If you want to go deeper on
