AI is not just another trend – it's a revolution similar to the telephone, the internet, and social media. With approximately 300 million jobs (according to Goldman Sacs) projected to be replaced by AI in the coming years, we're witnessing the largest workforce transformation in history.
According to Forbes, the AI market is projected to grow over 20x by 2030, hitting a market cap of $2 trillion.
As this technology advances, certain job roles are being automated, creating both challenges and opportunities.
Here's a breakdown of eight jobs being replaced by AI and how you can capitalize on this shift.
Personal assistants typically earn between $30K-$60K per year managing schedules, handling emails, and organizing tasks for executives and business owners.
Business owners are now using tools like Motion that can automatically handle schedule management, task organization, and email sorting – without requiring human intervention.
Most executives, haven't made this transition yet. By targeting busy business owners who still rely on human assistants, you can offer AI assistant implementation services. Charge $2K-$3K for initial setup and $500-$1,000 monthly for ongoing management.
Lead generation specialists earn $40K-$70K per year finding potential clients and running outreach campaigns. Many businesses have a love-hate relationship with this role due to management challenges.
Tools like Apollo and Instantly can now automate the entire prospecting process, from finding leads to sending personalized messages and booking appointments.
Reach out to B2B companies still doing manual lead generation and offer to build automated systems that send messages to prospects and book meetings directly on calendars. Charge $3K-$5K for setup and $1K-$2K monthly for management. One client, Umird, recently earned $5K for a two-hour implementation.

AI tools like Descript can now edit videos, add effects, and optimize content with simple prompts – dramatically reducing the need for manual editing.
Target business owners who either have no content strategy or poor-quality content and offer to manage their entire video production process. Charge $2K-$4K for initial setup and $1K-$2K monthly for ongoing content creation and optimization.
While not all programming roles will disappear, many basic coding functions are being automated. Programmers typically earn $100K-$200K per year writing and debugging code.
Tools like Cursor are changing the development landscape by generating and fixing code automatically through simple prompts.
Small business owners need custom software but can't afford traditional developers. Offer to build MVPs (Minimum Viable Products) using AI coding tools. Charge $5K-$10K per project plus monthly maintenance fees. Larger projects can command up to $20K or more.
SDRs earn $45K-$75K per year reaching out to prospects and booking meetings for sales teams.
Tools like Hermes AI SDR can automatically engage leads and schedule meetings 24/7 without human intervention.

Content writers and copywriters earn $40K-$70K per year creating blogs, emails, and marketing copy.
Tools like Jasper AI and ChatGPT can now generate engaging, high-quality content that was impossible with earlier AI iterations.

Customer support specialists earn $40K-$70K annually (with some roles earning $120K+ in specialized industries) answering questions and resolving issues.
Tools like Blaise AI automate these tasks and deliver consistent, high-quality support 24/7/365 without sick days or holidays. Many clients currently report that AI systems provide better and more detailed answers than human staff.
Target ecommerce, B2B SaaS, or education businesses with high query volumes. Offer to fully automate their customer service using their current knowledge base. Charge $3K-$5K for setup and $500-$1K monthly to update their knowledge base as products and services evolve.
This opportunity is massive even for entrepreneurs capturing just a small percentage of the market. Low-skilled white-collar jobs are being replaced rapidly, while many blue-collar roles have already been automated. Now is the time to take action and claim your share of this nearly $2 trillion industry.
Rather than fearing AI disruption, smart entrepreneurs are positioning themselves to help businesses make this transition, creating win-win scenarios where companies save money while receiving better services – all while building profitable, future-proof business models with minimal overhead.
