Ai Dashboards To Get Rich
MARCUS NOTES
SUMMARY & TIME STAMPS
Below is a structured video breakdown (approx. 1 hr 32 min). The times are estimates tied to the rough flow of the transcript.
0:00–1:55 | Introduction & Backstory
- (0:00–0:25) Speaker introduces the idea of “AI dashboards” that can be sold for higher prices than simple ebooks.
- (0:25–1:03) Personal anecdote: first built a “dashboard” in 2021 for a vitamins/supplements niche and made $7,000 from a single teleseminar.
- (1:03–1:55) Emphasizes that dashboards provide far more value than simple PDFs and can help you earn recurring or on-demand revenue.
Notable Example
- Vitamins Dashboard: Created once, sold multiple times for $300 each. Shows the power of a reusable digital product.
1:55–6:00 | Ebooks vs. Dashboards
- (1:55–3:15) Explains that you can sell one dashboard for more money than you would get selling many low-ticket ebooks.
- (3:15–5:00) Shows success screenshots from a community member (“Clive”) who used a similar approach, earning hundreds to over $1,000 in some months.
- (5:00–6:00) Defines what a digital “dashboard” is: a curated portal of tools, resources, prompts, and training modules for a niche.
6:00–12:00 | Finding Niche Ideas & Market Research
- (6:00–9:00) Demonstrates how to mine course platforms (e.g., Udemy, Skillshare) to see what topics already have traction (e.g., digital marketing, coding bootcamps, Excel courses, etc.).
- (9:00–12:00) Emphasizes looking at cost vs. perceived value: a short “dashboard” with real tools can justify $300+ pricing, whereas a simple ebook might only get $10–$30.
Notable Example
- Udemy Keyword Research (7:00–9:00): Checking popular courses on digital marketing, copywriting, Google Sheets, etc., to see how many students they have and the typical price point.
12:00–17:00 | Using AI to Generate a Course Dashboard
- (12:00–14:00) Introduces “Deep Seek” (and also uses ChatGPT/Gemini) to outline an entire dashboard or mini-course structure automatically.
- (14:00–17:00) Live demonstration: making a copywriting “mastery dashboard.” The AI spits out a table of contents, modules, and icons.
17:00–22:00 | Adding Advanced Value (Prompts, Tools, Calculators)
- (17:00–19:00) Mentions that templates, calculators, and prompt generators drastically raise the perceived value of your product.
- (19:00–22:00) Example of adding ChatGPT prompts or Jasper templates for copywriters. The AI can be asked to make fill-in-the-blanks forms or scripts for end users.
Notable Example
- Copywriting Prompts (around 20:00): The speaker shows how to get AI to generate 25 prompts that mimic top copywriters’ styles.
22:00–25:00 | Picking a Specific Niche (Streamer vs. Outsourcing)
- (22:00–23:00) The audience votes between “Streamer Profits” or “Outsourcing Profits.”
- (23:00–25:00) The speaker decides to demo both, beginning with “Streamer Profits.”
25:00–33:00 | Building the “Streamer Profits” Dashboard
- (25:00–28:00) Demonstrates step-by-step how to prompt the AI to create a visual HTML page with icons for each module (equipment, audience building, monetization, etc.).
- (28:00–33:00) Walks through uploading the generated files to a web server, renaming files, and password-protecting the folder for paid members only.
Notable Example
- (30:00–33:00) Shows how each icon on the main dashboard links to a subpage like “income.htm,” “stats.htm,” etc.
33:00–40:00 | Refining and Expanding with Notebook LM & Gemini
- (33:00–37:00) Mentions using different AI models in tandem (ChatGPT/Gemini/Notebook LM) to research the niche in detail, find policies, stats, or guidelines, and auto-generate submodules.
- (37:00–40:00) Recommends adding disclaimers, disclaimers, or a new color scheme, showing how to refine your pages with minimal coding knowledge.
40:00–48:00 | Building a Copywriting Tool in Real Time
- (40:00–44:00) Example: “Copywriting Mastery” with a prompt generator. AI code is pasted into a basic page, turning it into a pseudo-software tool.
- (44:00–48:00) Explains that real value comes from bundling training plus tools: “Here are 50 example sales emails, headlines, etc.”
48:00–55:00 | Second Example: “Outsourcing Profits” Dashboard
- (48:00–51:00) Creates a 9-icon “Outsourcing Profits” dashboard for people who want to hire and manage freelancers.
- (51:00–55:00) Demonstrates asking AI for sample hiring docs, agreements, or job posting templates. Stresses how real “done-for-you” content can justify higher price points.
55:00–1:02:00 | Custom Prompt Generators & Tools
- (55:00–58:00) Builds a fill-in-the-blanks template for job descriptions. The user can check boxes for roles, responsibilities, etc.
- (58:00–1:02:00) Mentions you can do the same in countless niches: selling a car, negotiating prices, building a domain finder, etc.
1:02:00–1:08:00 | Converting Dashboards Into Software / Apps
- (1:02:00–1:05:00) Suggests using HTML Executable or Smart Install Maker to compile your dashboard into a downloadable EXE, giving it an “app” feel.
- (1:05:00–1:08:00) Explains that the perceived value of a “software tool” is typically higher than a mere “web course.”
1:08:00–1:13:00 | Structuring Content for Higher Value
- (1:08:00–1:10:00) “Packaging is everything.” People pay for well-structured resources, not just raw information.
- (1:10:00–1:13:00) Cites Tony Robbins re-packaging NLP content. The structuring and branding alone made it highly marketable.
1:13:00–1:28:00 | In-Depth Demo: Big List of Copywriting Characteristics
- (1:13:00–1:18:00) Asks AI for the top 25 copywriters and their strengths.
- (1:18:00–1:21:00) Converts that into a fill-in-the-blank tool: user picks which “strengths” they want, hits “Generate,” and it writes a personalized sales letter.
- (1:21:00–1:25:00) Discussion of how to refine or test it with ChatGPT.
- (1:25:00–1:28:00) Summarizes that each dashboard can incorporate multiple sub-tools, making it extremely valuable to end users.
1:28:00–End | Closing & Recommendations
- (1:28:00–1:30:00) Quick note on membership sites or password-protected directories to secure the dashboard.
- (1:30:00–End) Encourages viewers to experiment, finalize, and create something truly unique. Invites them to a paid membership (AI Profit Scoop) for ongoing support.

- Importance: Real “done-for-you” content (like editable agreements or job postings) justifies higher prices.
- Streamer Profits Dashboard (25:00–33:00)
- Built from scratch in HTML with clickable pages for equipment, audience building, and revenue streams.
- Importance: Showcases a step-by-step example of taking a niche (live streaming) and turning it into a monetizable course/tool.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Packaging & Structure Trump Raw Information
- Why It Matters: People will pay more for the same content if it’s easier to follow, better organized, and includes interactive elements (tools, prompts, calculators).
- Application: Always think about “visual dashboards,” password-protected modules, and embedded calculators/templates.
- AI Can Automate 80% of Development
- Why It Matters: You don’t need to be a developer. ChatGPT and other tools can generate code, outlines, and content.
- Application: Use “prompt chaining” to refine output. Upload HTML/PHP files directly to a simple hosting account or compile as software for even higher perceived value.
- Focus on Solving a Painful Problem
- Why It Matters: If you help users overcome a significant hurdle—like hiring freelancers, setting up streaming tech, or writing conversion copy—they’ll pay a premium.
- Application: Validate your niche by looking at existing courses, competition, or high-traffic keywords. Then add extra steps and resources that no one else is providing.
- Include Tools, Prompts, & Checklists
- Why It Matters: Downloadable scripts, fill-in-the-blank templates, and “estimators” or calculators dramatically boost perceived value.
- Application: For any niche, ask yourself: “What does the user repeatedly do or worry about?” Then build a mini-tool that accomplishes or simplifies it.
- Rapid Prototyping with Multiple AIs
- Why It Matters: Combining ChatGPT, Gemini, and Notebook LM can help you do research, gather data, and code a dashboard faster.
- Application: Use each AI’s strengths—some are better at reasoning, some at coding, some at summarizing. Then compile their outputs into one final product.
ANALYSIS & RECOMMENDATIONS
- Speaker’s Perspective:
- Strengths
- Emphasizes practical, hands-on demonstrations (live coding).
- Provides real-world examples (selling a car, “Vitamins Dashboard,” etc.).
- Highlights how to differentiate with dashboards, not just text-based content.
- Potential Gaps or Improvements
- Traffic & Marketing Strategies: The transcript focuses heavily on product creation but only lightly touches on how to drive traffic or do actual marketing.
- Deeper Branding/Design Tips: He shows a few color changes and icons, but advanced UI/UX suggestions could further boost conversions.
- Legal/Compliance Mention: Quick disclaimers are noted, but a more thorough approach might be needed for certain niches (health, finance, etc.).
- Strengths
- Alternative Viewpoints:
- Some might argue you can still succeed with simpler membership sites or “one-pager” solutions without building multiple HTML subpages.
- Others may stress that a free or mid-ticket front-end product can still lead to big backend sales if you do high-level consulting or advanced masterminds.
EXECUTION PLAN (Step-by-Step)
Week 1: Ideation & Research
- Pick your niche by browsing course platforms (Udemy, Skillshare).
- Identify the top 5–10 pain points or topics in that niche.
- Collect reference articles, YouTube videos, or whitepapers and feed them into a research-oriented AI (e.g., Notebook LM).
Week 2: Outline & AI Dashboard Creation
4. Use ChatGPT or Deep Seek to generate a 9–12 icon “dashboard” skeleton (HTML/PHP pages).
5. Ask for the “modules” or “icons” to link to subpages dedicated to each main topic.
6. Refine layout/colors. Add your logo and disclaimers.
Week 3: Enhance Value with Tools & Prompts
7. Brainstorm 2–3 custom “tools” that solve major headaches (e.g., a prompt generator, ROI calculator, or job description script).
8. Ask AI to code them. Paste code into your subpages.
9. Test thoroughly. Make sure each page loads and works in a password-protected folder or membership plugin.
Week 4: Launch & Initial Promotion
10. Create 2–4 short tutorial videos walking users through the dashboard’s features.
11. Offer a limited-time discount or bonus to gather beta testimonials.
12. Launch publicly—host a webinar, do a teleseminar, or guest on relevant YouTube channels/podcasts in your niche.
Beyond Week 4: Scale & Refine
- Collect user feedback; add advanced features or more templates.
- Consider packaging as an EXE app or standalone “software” if relevant.
- Gradually raise the price as you build more proof of results.
LEARNING ACCELERATION (Cheat Sheet & Exercises)
- Cheat Sheet
- Niche First: Always validate the niche demand.
- AI Dashboard: Create a visually appealing grid of modules.
- Add Tools: Use code-generation prompts to build calculators, prompts, or forms.
- Password-Protect: Even a simple CPanel directory lock can suffice for your early “membership.”
- Iterate: Keep adding new tools and modules based on real user questions.
- Exercises
- Exercise #1: Draft a 5-icon dashboard outline for any niche (e.g., real estate) using ChatGPT.
- Exercise #2: Ask AI to build a simple “prompt generator” tool for your chosen niche. Edit the code, upload it to a test folder, and see if it runs.
- Exercise #3: Brainstorm three ways to incorporate a calculator or ROI tool relevant to your niche.
- Exercise #4: Design a basic “1-page sales letter” that emphasizes the main advantage of a dashboard vs. a standard ebook, then share it with a friend for feedback.
By following these steps and best practices, you’ll have a clear roadmap for turning plain informational content into a dynamic, high-value AI dashboard product. You can begin with something simple and gradually add more advanced functionality over time.
