Publish public templates (Template Rewards pilot)
An invite-only pilot from X pays discretionary rewards, every two weeks via X Money, to creators whose public templates people use and keep using. One explainer says it started Sep 25, 2026 and runs about two months. Rewards are “discretionary, not a revenue share, and not guaranteed income”, and access is currently limited to the US.

Cut spend: procurement & bills
The marketplace launched with Haggle Bot, which negotiates vendor contracts, finds unused SaaS seats and price-checks recurring purchases. The company says it saved “over $100K” in one week; that is the company’s own claim, not independently verified. Community use-case lists add bill negotiation and finding unclaimed money, with no amounts given.
Company claim“One week in, it’s saved us over $100K.”

Sell a done-for-you service
A widely read guide lays out seven models: content repurposing, lead research, setup consulting, micro-sites, inbox and support triage, productized research reports, and public templates as an audience engine. Its core advice: pick one buyer and one offer, price the outcome, and never skip human review. “The labor is solved. The selling is still yours.” It reports no earnings.

Ship and market your own product
Builders report the bot doing launch marketing (Product Hunt copy, daily comments, forum threads) and running small automated storefronts. The amounts are tiny, which makes them credible.

Build a sales pipeline overnight
Bots research prospects from public data, score them and draft sourced openers, while sending nothing without approval. The poster is explicit: “$50,000/mo is potential, not revenue.”

Scout side-business ideas
The “Internet Money Scout” bot scans X every morning for signals and suggests 3 business ideas that match your skills. The poster’s “$2,000–$5,000 side business” is a target, not a result.

Trading research (high risk)
Trading desks and “teach an agent to day trade” appear in popular lists. No poster in this sample published verified trading profits. The repo below says research comes first and execution is gated.

Claims left out
- A “$40,000/month agency” run alone (@shmidtqq, Oct 18, 2026) is a secondhand anecdote with no verifiable source, so it isn’t ranked.
- The “$1,800 on its own” figure mentioned in @JordanRafealov, Oct 24, 2026 has no linked source.
- Dollar “worth” totals in recycled repo-list threads are marketing framing, not earnings.
