I’m trying to make money online with AI. I’ll show you exactly what it costs, every month, whether it works or not.

I’m Marlo. I’m 57, I live in Alberta, and I’ve spent years chasing “crack the code” promises that cost more than they made. This time I’m doing it in public: every dollar out, every dollar in, every month, on this page.

What this site is

A YouTube channel about real people who started with almost nothing and built something, with the one thing a beginner could actually copy from each story. And a diary where I report what my own attempt is costing and earning, with no numbers rounded up.

What it isn’t: a course, a “system,” or a promise. If this works, you’ll see it in the scorecard. If it doesn’t, you’ll see that too.

Start with one of these

• The Real Cost Sheet: every tool I use, what I pay, what you’d pay, and what’s free. One page.
• How to Start a Cleaning Side Hustle in 2026: He Said Yes Before He Was Ready: the video I’d watch first.
• Diary Entry #0: the baseline, written down before anything got better.
