This week thousands of creators were demonetized on X with no given reason.
This proves one thing: you should NEVER be dependent on X ad revenue. PERIOD. You can’t control it. You shouldn’t depend on revenue streams you can’t control.
3 months ago I launched Creator Buddy. It is now BY FAR by biggest revenue stream. And what’s great is, I have complete control over it. If I want to increase revenue, I just need to ship more and talk about it. If I’m fine with it staying the same, I can build other projects.
Complete control.
THIS is how you make a business for yourself online. Create revenue streams only YOU control.
Here are 3 simple revenue streams you can set up today that Elon can’t take away from you:
Products built with AI
I’m starting off with the highest quality option. With AI, now ANYONE can build. I didn’t write a single line of code in Creator Buddy, it’s all AI.
The key to building a great product with AI is simple: find a challenge you face daily. Ask AI how you can solve it with software. Then tell the AI to guide you through building it step by step.
If the AI gives you instructions that are too complicated, ask it to be simpler.
Then execute on those steps.
Tools you’ll need: ChatGPT o3 (brainstorming), Bolt.new (prototyping) Windsurf (building).
Best part: this requires almost no up front investment.
Once you’ve built your product, selling it is simple. Share your process online.
By far the most effective marketing for me has been building features in Creator Buddy then tweeting about the feature I built. Every time I do that I get tons of sales.
Build cool things, then tweet and create videos about it. People will naturally get attracted to your journey.
Newsletter
What’s great about newsletters are you not only control the revenue stream, you control the marketing.
Elon can not only take away your X revenue stream, but he can take away your audience as well. The algorithm is ever changing. Reach goes up and down. If he decided to he could suspend you for absolutely no reason.
When it comes to newsletters, you own your audience. It can never be taken away from you. There’s no algorithm to please. You send them a message, they receive it.
Plus, it’s one of the most monetizable marketing channels ever. In fact, it was the first way I ever made money on the internet.
When I hit 5,000 subscribers on my newsletter, a company reached out and offered a sponsorship for $500. I took it. For a year straight I took sponsorships and made close to $50,000 just on the newsletter.
EVERY serious creator needs a newsletter.
Youtube
I’ve been monetized on Youtube for 6 months now. I can honestly say it’s been the best, most predictable revenue stream for a social media site ever. It’s incredibly simple and transparent. The more views you get, the more you get paid. And every penny you make you get in depth analytics on.
You understand which video the penny came from and which ad paid you. Check out the amazing analytics below:

Those are my analytics from the last several months. It’s just a fantastic revenue system that’s predictable and easy to understand. You put out more videos, you make more money. It’s that simple.
It’s the only social media platform where you truly feel like you own the revenue stream.
If you haven’t started posting on Youtube yet, you need to be doing it. Not only is the ad revenue great, but it’s also the biggest platform in the world. Half of the data traffic on the internet comes from Youtube.
You get big on youtube, doors open up quick.
Take any subject you’re interested in, record a video of yourself talking about it. It’s that simple.
Products, newsletter, Youtube. 3 revenue streams I think anyone looking to make a buck online needs to take action on. WAY better than X ad revenue.
