Who Am I?
I’m just a regular guy working a 9–5 job. Nothing fancy, nothing flashy. And like many of you, I’ve been seeing AI everywhere lately. From viral TikToks and YouTube gurus to promises of passive income and overnight success — the internet is flooded with claims that AI will make you rich if you just follow a few simple steps.
But here’s the thing:
Easy money doesn’t exist.
Unless you’re a trust fund baby or won the lottery, no one gets rich without putting in time, effort, and at least a little struggle.
That’s why I started Tireless Grandpa — a faceless, slow-burn, real-life experiment in using AI tools to (hopefully) earn money, learn new skills, and share everything I go through — the good, the bad, and the frustrating.
What’s the Idea Behind This Project?
This project isn’t about preaching or pretending to be an expert.
It’s about documenting the journey of someone who started with no prior experience, no technical background, and limited free time… and seeing what’s actually possible with the tools available today.
I’ll be:
- Exploring various AI tools (starting with ChatGPT)
- Creating content across multiple platforms
- Sharing every step openly, including what works and what doesn’t
- Trying to earn actual income from these efforts, without the hype
🌐 Where You Can Follow the Journey
My main hub is this blog, but I’ll also be creating content for:
- YouTube
- TikTok
Every blog post will be the core of the content — from it, I’ll create short-form videos, visual posts, and bite-sized insights to spread across platforms.
🎯 What Are My Main Goals?
I’m keeping it simple (and real):
- 💸 Earn some extra income using AI tools
- 📚 Learn new skills along the way
- 🔧 Review and test AI tools (without sugarcoating)
And if this content reaches more people and grows an audience, great — because every cent earned will be reinvested into better tools, designs, and content.
🛠️ What I’ve Done So Far (Quick Recap)
This will all be covered in future blog posts in more detail, but here’s where I’m at:
1. Creating visuals: logo, images, branding
I used a mix of free tools (like Canva, ChatGPT prompts, and AI art generators) to develop my visuals.
➡️ First hurdle? Free tools have limits — many features are locked behind paywalls, which led me to…
2. Paying for a few key tools
I’ve decided to invest in a few essentials to keep the workflow smooth:
- YouTube Premium – no distractions while researching
- Canva Pro – better visuals and templates
- ChatGPT Plus – access to GPT-4 (massive help)
- Google Drive storage – to organize all project assets
3. Creating social media accounts
I opened profiles across all major platforms to prepare for content distribution.
(Yes, there will be screenshots soon 👀)
4. Building a website (with help from ChatGPT)
This site was built with ChatGPT’s guidance, step by step.
It wasn’t smooth — I had to “fight” through certain setup procedures and ask AI to rephrase instructions a dozen times.
But it’s live! 🧑💻
Is it perfect? No.
Is it functional enough to start publishing? Yes.
Once money starts coming in, I plan to upgrade and redesign it more professionally.
🔄 What Comes Next?
In the next few blog posts, I’ll dive into each of the above areas:
- The process of designing the visual identity
- Which tools I chose and why
- Step-by-step website setup
- What AI told me when I asked “Where should I begin?”
- A list of 50 AI-generated ideas I might actually try to make money with
🤝 Final Thoughts
If you’ve ever wondered whether an average person can actually earn money using AI — follow along. I’m putting it to the test.
No hype. No shortcuts. Just learning, building, and sharing as I go.

Faceless, but not soulless — just one persistent human using AI to turn ideas into something real.
