Beginners Guide to Claude (Save Time & Make Money)



With the brand new release of Claude Opus 4.7 and the fact that I’ve personally been using Claude every single day for the last three months, I figured I’d put together a list of seven ways that you can improve the way that you use Claude to make more money or save more time, pretty much no matter what you do. These tips range from beginner, first-time setting up Claude, to more advanced workflows that save me real time every single day. Enjoy!

  1. I wish their was a local Etsy office and hire someone to do all this for me and I just create and send. If you ever do this for us older folks with ideas, can I get a residual for my idea if you implement it locally or online? For Like .02 cents per something would be great. Lol

  2. I just found you and you are so uplifting and inspiring but being in my 60s and can work in Excel spreadsheets in simple models, I’m trying to create a business in retirement. Have smart kids your age too and you guys go so fast for us who are not computer savvy. Can you do a video for 5th graders. Lol or your videos How to books for dummies. lol like in Mid Journey especially. I currently am on ChatGbt creating images for my tshirts and my farm photos for digital downloads. I did have a simple Etsy page years ago but didn’t want to get involved with paying quarterly sales tax. No one talks about that either. Creating a business name on Bizbee and sales tax paying in quarterly. How to charge people different sales tax rates per their state. Can you help do a video for all that too. I work a dead end temp job for health insurance and pay my bills so looking to create something for income. Ready to clean out garages or scoop poop if I have to. Lol Following you now! Thank you for inspiring me.

  3. Please make a video on how to make Claude skills in detail. I think that would be really helpful.

  4. Great video! Can you post a link to the video where you have Claude create the product listings? Would love to see that!

  5. This video is super helpful but are you saying that it’s best to use Claude Code instead of all the other spaces (chat & cowork?)

  6. How to make use of Claude to compile info from my textbooks and make me notes from them for board exams

  7. Great overview on Claud. I am currently using Claud to help me adapt my Buffalo Soldier novel, Forgotten Valor, into novel format. Claud will probably save me three months of work. I did have to upgrade to the pro plan, but it will be worth it since I will also be using it for my laser and tee shirt businesses.

  8. Alek, keep going! AWESOME. You're getting better and it shows, your organic approach to skill building is terrific. Look forward to more vids.

  9. This was very useful. I'm using chatGBT right now, but looking at switching to Claude.

  10. Great tips for getting me started with Claude Code today, thanks!

  11. Thank you so much, @Alek, for all of your generous content. You are boiling down such dense info for all of us, overwhelmed, to digestible and actionable help resources. I did subscribe and i also was impressed with your generous share with the note from the previous video – what a nice un-invasive and generous move. I'll be adopting similar ways in my business, especially that it's so simple and gracious – we all use google ecosystem anyway, right?! 😉
    The last thing to say is that i see you as a great supporter of Human Evolution by teaching people to harness their opportunities and act on the possibilities available to them. Keep doing that! Poverty gone is when people are empowered, and obviously vise versa. Let's create New Earth with grace, grounded on love and unity!
    PS Thanks, Ai! 🙂
    Now lets get creating, Humans!! 🙂

  12. This was a good watch with some unique examples and use cases I hadn’t seen before. Thanks

  13. Wow! I've been looking for a tutorial video about "unlocking" Claude superpower for the similar industry. This it is but I'll need to watch it for a multiple time to learn the fundamentals. Thank you so much!!!

  14. Just got hit with the new limits. Max sub doing some trivial minor task. I was stunned. It’s unbelievable just how inconsistent the service is.

  15. Besides the enterprise subscription. What is the average monthly cost to use Claude?

  16. This is exactly the kind of practical AI content people need. Not hype — just real ways to save time and make money 🔥

  17. "Save time AND make money" in the same title — bold of us to assume we'll do either instead of just spending 3 hours prompting Claude to write emails we'll rewrite anyway.

  18. I don’t know if you make any of your editing/transitions with Claude or other AI. If you do, or when you do, it would be cool if you add “created with Claude”. This would serve to demonstrate the creative capabilities of these AIs in a real life example and it would be greatly educational as to how one could use Claude for producing media.

  19. Ive set up claude skills but notice it sometimes takes so long to execute or straight up crashes – how do you go about this?

  20. Talk about how to start a business if you don't already have one or have never ran a business before just an average person

  21. Thanks, Alek! You mentioned in the video that you added the JAON prompt builder . However, it’s not there. Would you please add it?
