Please consult a professional before making decisions based on our content.Welcome to "AI Paycheck"! Get ready to unlock the secrets to generating serious passive income by legally stealing viral TikTok hooks. In this eye-opening episode, your AI Side Hustle Podcast expert dives deep with Riley Hookman, a master of reverse-engineering TikTok trends using AI. Riley has personally generated over $200,000 in affiliate income in just 6 months by mastering this exact strategy.Discover the powerful concept of "trend-jacking": identifying a blowing-up trend and leveraging its core, addictive 3-second hook for your own content, but faster, thanks to AI. We reveal how AI lets you skip the guesswork and clone the viral DNA.
Learn the three main ways to monetize these trend-jacked hooks:
  • Affiliate Links: Push related products for instant commissions.
  • Digital Products: Create quick, high-value guides (e.g., "5 Satisfying Kitchen Hacks").
  • Low-Content KDP Books: Compile trending moments into Amazon bestsellers.

The episode uncovers Riley's exact method for using ChatGPT to crack the hook code. We'll share the powerful prompt structure that forces ChatGPT to analyze any viral hook based on: Curiosity Gap, Relatability, Visual Trigger, and Urgency. See a real-world example breaking down the viral "I cleaned my depression room" trend and generating new, high-converting variations.
But how do you know which hooks will win before you post? That's where A/B testing with Statsig comes in! This free, powerful platform from Facebook is your secret weapon. We walk you through Riley's four-step Statsig method to test your hook variations, focusing on the "holy grail" metric: the 3-Second View Rate. This crucial metric dictates TikTok's algorithm and your video's viral potential. Learn to kill your darlings and always follow the data, even if you love a hook.
Hear a compelling case study: how a client sold 23,000 plant care eBooks in two weeks with a mere $20 Statsig investment, all by scaling a data-proven hook.
We break down the simple, effective "tools stack" for your AI side hustle:
  • TikTok Creative Center for trend discovery.
  • Statsig for precise hook testing.
  • Canva Pro for rapid video creation.
  • Linktree or Beacons.so for managing affiliate links.

Finally, Riley shares his brutally efficient weekly routine for trend-jacking: find trends on Monday, generate hooks on Tuesday, A/B test on Wednesday, and scale the winner by Thursday/Friday. His final advice? "Stop creating. Start reverse-engineering." Don't just listen—take action! Steal a viral hook today, A/B test it tomorrow, and start profiting by Friday.
Tune in to discover how AI can literally pay your bills by transforming your approach to content creation and monetization. Your AI side hustle starts here!
