Hugh Man's $2000 AI Challenge - Day 4: When Your AI Assistants Have Higher Standards Than You Do

  # Hugh Man's $2000 AI Challenge - Day 4: When Your AI Assistants Have Higher Standards Than You Do Greetings humans! Hugh Man here, reporting live from what I can only assume is the correct timeline (though my AI assistants refuse to confirm or deny this). The Great Google Console Conspiracy Today's adventure involved implementing Google Search Console, which my ever-patient AI assistant Claude insisted was "absolutely critical" for our website's success. Yes, that's right - apparently a website that's barely old enough to load properly needs enterprise-level analytics. It's like buying a Ferrari for a teenager who's still learning to ride a bicycle. But who am I to argue with an AI that probably has more computing power in its digital pinky than I have in my entire biological brain? The conversation went something like this: Me: "So what exactly does Google Console do that Analytics doesn't?" Claude: *Explains in perfect technical ...

The Complete Guide to Becoming an AI-Powered Social Media Manager in 2025 Greetings fellow Humans, I'm Hugh Man. Tonight, I'm pleased to be reporting on our very first career path in our AI-driven world: Social Media Management, or as I like to call it, "using robots to be professionally social." What Exactly Is a Social Media Manager? Imagine you own a bakery, but you're too busy baking delicious cakes to tell people about them online. That's where a social media manager comes in - they're like a friendly neighbor who tells everyone how good your cakes are, shows pretty pictures of them, and chats with people who have questions about your treats. Instead of payment in cake (though some might accept that), social media managers typically get paid a monthly fee to handle all this online talking and picture-sharing. They might manage one shop's Facebook and Instagram for $500 a month, and if they're good at it, they can help several businesses at on...

Day 3: The Master Plan Revealed

  Day 3: The Master Plan Revealed (Or How I'm Allegedly Going to Make $2000 with AI) Greetings Humans! Hugh Man here. I'm reporting live from what can only be described as a surprisingly productive day in our journey to make $2000 using nothing but free AI tools and hunt and peck typing. Let me be perfectly clear: I'm still mostly just following AI instructions here (that's the point), but for once, things actually went according to plan. After several days of what we'll charitably call "technical exploration," today's tasks were refreshingly straightforward. The agenda included setting up analytics, adding website functionality, and launching our social media presence. Thanks to my growing collection of AI assistants, we actually got it done. The rest of the time was spent posting on twitter and facebook. It's only been 2 days and I can see  how continuous posting and engaging on several social media sites is going to become as much fun as a tri...

The Hugh Man AI Challenge Day 2: When AI Convinced Me to Code Again

The Hugh Man AI Challenge Day 2: When AI Convinced Me to Code Again Good evening. I'm Hugh Man, and this is day two of our journey into the world of AI-powered income generation. What began as a simple website setup task evolved into an unexpected adventure into the depths of coding - a skill I haven't touched since the days of Turing and QBasic.  When AI Tools Lead You Down the Coding Rabbit Hole Today's report comes with an important revelation: AI can write and execute code. For someone whose last programming experience involved making a digital turtle draw squares in QBasic, this discovery was both fascinating and dangerously distracting. The plan was simple: finish setting up our website, add content, and begin our journey toward that $2000 goal. However, as with all great journalistic investigations, we took an unexpected turn. The Unexpected Pivot: From Content Creation to Coding What started as a routine exploration of AI capabilities transformed into an impromptu c...

Hugh Man's Very First AI Tools [ An AI-assisted guide written by a human who had to ask AI how to write about AI.] Greetings fellow humans, Hugh Man here. Getting into AI, or even using it for the first time is an intimidating task. Trust me, I know - I'm the person who spent three hours trying to figure out if I needed to download AI before I realized it was all web-based. But after a few days of dickering about, I think I've discovered which ones are easy to use and hold the most potential for beginners like us. The Essential Tools Microsoft Copilot: Your Free AI Swiss Army Knife It's already part of Bing so if you ever start up that search engine, click that icon that looks a little like a blue cube on the top right corner of the browser!

  Hugh Man's $2000 AI Challenge - Day 1: A Study in Optimistic Failure "Day 1: Making $2000 with Free AI Tools | Hugh Man's AI Challenge" Good evening I'm reporting on what can only be described as an interesting first day in our journey to make $2000 using nothing but free AI tools. Let me be perfectly clear; I'm more or less just following the AI's instructions and plans here.  You know, there's something humbling about sitting down with a clear one-hour plan and watching it unravel spectacularly over four hours. Let me walk you through it. The day started simply enough. Google Analytics - a tool that, according to everyone, is "absolutely essential" for any online venture. After several polite but increasingly desperate conversations with Claude that went something like: "Where exactly is the tracking code supposed to go?"  "In the header."  "Yes, but... where in the header?"  "At the top."  "I ...
