Let’s cut the crap — everyone wants shortcuts.

A 4-hour workweek. A million dollars.

But here’s the truth — those two things don’t belong in the same sentence. It’s actually a fantasy that keeps people stuck instead of scaling.

I’ve been writing online for over 4 years, built multiple businesses, and guess what? I don’t think about working only four hours a week.

Why? Because real growth demands time and effort. You don’t build empires by clocking out early.

But one needs to be smart as well, and that’s the reason I’ve spent the last few years trying to claw back my time — without sacrificing growth.

Most methods flopped but then I hit gold by combining Fiverr and AI into my workflow.

With this, I’ve actually slashed my work hours in half and tripled my income. This shift didn’t just free up time; it let me focus on scaling and building new income streams.

And today, I’m going to show you exactly how I did it — no BS, just the strategies that work.

With that said, let’s get into it.

1. Using Fiverr to outsource work

Everyone knows that Fiverr is a freelancing platform that helps freelancers make money.

But I use it in a completely different way.

To be specific, I get at least 20 to 30 clients every month, and as a solopreneur, it’s not possible to manage and complete their work on my own.

After trying multiple approaches, I’ve been using Fiverr for over a year to hire freelancers who complete my client’s work.

To be more specific — I use Fiverr Pro to easily hire top talent to get the job done.

But Nitin, what is Fiverr Pro?

It is a feature offered by Fiverr that categorizes quality freelancers. You can hire them on an hourly basis to complete work without going through a complicated process.

But how?

You just need to visit their website, create an account, and search for the skill you want to hire for.

For example, I searched for “Content Writing,” and Fiverr Pro recommended some excellent freelancers that can complete my work.

So far, this approach has been working great for me.

With this, I’m able to take more clients and complete their work on time, saving me significant time and even helping me earn more money.

2. The obvious one — LLMs

Now, let’s talk about the obvious AI tools.

Lets’ be honest — most of you know that LLMs (like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude) can really save you time no matter what your profession is.

I’ve been using LLMs for everything from writing online to helping me market my digital products, and more.

  • I use LLMs to research a topic, get ideas for titles, generate outlines, and more.
  • I can generate marketing scripts or copies and learn different marketing tactics.
  • I can upload marketing books and quickly learn the top strategies from a specific book, saving me plenty of time.
  • Even LLMs are helping me write code and build websites within minutes. Thanks to their latest versions, one can even build SaaS apps within hours without being an expert.
  • Similarly, LLMs can be helpful for interview preparation, in learning, and more.

So, no matter what you are doing, you can just use LLMs to free up your time.

3. Using NotebookLM (& Raena AI)

Just a month back, I heard about NotebookLM and Raena AI.

To be honest, I used both of these AI tools for a month to explore how they can be helpful and even wrote several posts sharing their potential use cases.

While they are mostly similar (or you could call them competitors), each has unique features that can assist with everyday tasks.

With NotebookLM, I upload large and varied resources and ask specific questions. I then save the important answers as notes.

To be specific — I upload multiple stock annual reports to analyze which one to invest in. Similarly, I add several blogs on a specific topic while drafting a post to extract key points within minutes.

I also upload PDFs of books I want to read and generate 15- to 20-minute podcasts that I can listen to while traveling or exercising

There are countless other use cases that you can find out depending on your profession.

And lastly, if you’re a student, I recommend trying Raena AI, as it has some insane features that can help you while learning.

4. Using Claude, Cursor, v0, and shadcn UI

Most of you know that ChatGPT can be used to build websites and apps.

Later, Anthropic released Claude Artifacts, enabling people to build impressive apps without being experts.

Now, tools like Cursor AI, shadcn, and v0 are taking the process even further.

I’ve started using these tools myself, and the process of building websites has become much easier than I ever thought.

Here’s a great YouTube video showing how to use Cursor AI + v0 to develop a high-quality full-stack app.

And here’s a viral tweet from Prajwal Tomar about how he’s using Cursor + v0 along with several other AI tools.

Just a couple of years ago, before AI tools were released, creating apps was an incredibly tedious process.

Having been a web developer for over five years, I’ve seen firsthand how much things have changed.

Back then, I would spend an entire month building a customized website for a client. Now, thanks to advancements in AI, that same work takes just 2–3 days.

This change has been a huge time-saver, helping me finish projects faster and focus on other important things.

Hope you like it.

That’s it — thanks.
