If you’re looking for ways to increase or diversify your income, you have to get past the noise.
Everywhere you look, someone’s selling the same tired playbooks. Old templates and systems wrapped in shiny new wrappers. Recycled tactics from 2015. Ideas that have been copied over and over.
The real breakthroughs? They’re not coming from another productivity hack or branding checklist.
They’re coming from the people who can spot the angles others miss. Tiny shifts in perception. Asymmetries.
These asymmetries look small, but unlock massive leverage.
Not because they’re obvious. Quite the opposite. They’re non-obvious.
Most people won’t see these ideas, because they’re too busy chasing this month’s “hot trends”.
But the moment you see what others would never think to consider… that’s your leverage.
I built The Asymmetry Engine to scratch my own itch.
One of my strengths – and weaknesses – is that I’m always trying new things. I’m also constantly looking to diversify my sources of income.
I’m slightly paranoid about my income! If one source dries up, I don’t want to feel any pain. I want to have other revenue streams that keep paying the bills.
This means I’m always on the lookout for new ideas.
BUT… I don’t want to chase old ideas.
I want to get away from the crowds. I want to find ideas nobody else has seen yet.
So… I turned to AI and built The Asymmetry Engine. For my own use.
This engine is more than just a version of your favorite chatbot. It’s built on layer after layer of custom instructions.
I’ve trained it on what to look for, and what to ignore.
I don’t want to give away my secret sauce, but I will share one instruction built into the engine.
It has explicit instructions to ignore the recommendations of influencers, hot social media channels, and popular blogs.
Remember… we want to get away from the obvious. We’re looking for asymmetries… for the non-obvious… the ideas in plain sight that 99% of people don’t even see.
Every output is designed to disrupt existing assumptions about what you can achieve.
In addition to being an Asymmetry Engine, this is also a Disruption Engine.
When you look at your first few outputs, you might scratch your head and wonder whether they’re a good fit for you or not.
The engine is designed to stretch you.
It doesn’t fetch headlines about the latest trends. It fast-forwards to delivering asymmetric insights by pattern-matching across thousands of hidden leverage cues in real time.
And yes, the results can sometimes be surprising.
“When looking for new directions to take your business or new markets to pursue, it’s easy to get tunnel vision or fall in love too quickly with your own ideas. Using The Asymmetry Engine is like engaging with a brilliant, creative, thoughtful partner. Their fresh perspective blasts you out of the rut it’s so easy to find yourself in as a freelancer. Even if you think you don’t need the kind of help The Asymmetry Engine can give you, believe me…you do. Give it a try and be amazed.” – Sean Carton, AppliedUnderstanding.com
Examples of questions and outputs…
For every input you give the engine, you’ll get 5 non-obvious ideas.
Here’s an example of an input:
“I’m a freelance UX writer. What’s a high-leverage way I could use AI to generate recurring income without building a product?”
And here’s the full answer to just one of the 5 ideas you’ll get from your input.
Idea #1. Emotional Tone Consistency Monitor
Core Thesis: Brands obsess over consistency, but their UX writing tone often drifts as teams, features, and writers change. Offer an “AI Brand Tone Sentinel” subscription: using GPT, continuously monitor new UI releases for tonal mismatches and flag deviations in real time.
Launch Loop:
- Prototype: analyze a client’s recent UI copy for tone divergence from style guide.
- Set up a workflow: client shares Figma/Notion updates, AI highlights off-brand patterns.
- Monthly deliverables: “Tone Drift Dashboard” + annotated suggestions.
- Position as “brand risk insurance” for rapidly scaling startups.
Proof-of-Pain: “Why does our new feature feel off-brand?” “Are we still speaking the same language?”
First-Sale Script: “You have a style guide, but does your product actually sound like you—everywhere, every week? Let my AI keep your UX voice sharp, automatically.”
Here’s a second idea from the same input. This time, for the sake of brevity, I’m sharing just the Core Thesis.
Idea #2. Competitive Copy Intelligence Subscription
Core Thesis: SaaS teams benchmark competitive features, but not UX microcopy.
Launch a recurring “Copy Intelligence Report” where you and GPT scan top competitors, dissect their UI copy changes, and deliver actionable monthly insights and rewrites to keep your clients ahead.
Another example, sharing just the Core Thesis again:
“I’m an independent financial consultant. Most of my clients are high-income individuals or small businesses. I’m looking for a way to create a productized revenue stream using AI—ideally something clever or counterintuitive.”
Idea #1. Money Relationship Map
Core Thesis: Financial friction between business partners, couples, or founders is rarely about the numbers alone—it’s often about mismatched money archetypes and hidden priorities.
Launch a service that uses AI to decode the “relationship graph” behind joint finances and surface ways to avoid conflict and keep everyone in harmony.
And so on…
Non-obvious, but interesting.
Keep going until you’ve fully developed your next income stream.
If none of the first 5 ideas inspire you, just ask for 5 more.
And when you find an idea that looks promising, ask the engine to develop it further. Keep the conversation going, the same way you would with ChatGPT… right up to asking for a full business plan, proposal, pitch deck, and sales page.
Your monthly subscription gives you 100 “Credits”. That means you could surface hundreds of business ideas each month!
More likely, you’d find something interesting within the first 50 ideas, and then use Credits to develop your business plan and associated sales materials.
“Absolutely terrific! The response I got after my first search was like nothing I had seen before. It gave me ideas that had never crossed my mind, and these were ideas for a course I had not seen anywhere else. I look forward to seeing what else this fascinating engine has to offer. I’m pretty excited about what I can achieve.” – Kazi Quinton
What is the value of a significant new income stream?
The math is pretty easy. If you develop a new service and income stream within the first month or two of your subscription, you’ll be looking at hundreds or thousands of dollars being added to your income each month.
And the cost of your subscription to The Asymmetry Engine is just $14.95 a month.
That’s just pennies a day for a tool that could dramatically change your future for the better.
Try it for a month and see what you can build.
If you don’t love it, you can cancel at any time.
But my guess is that you’ll want to keep The Asymmetry Engine for the long term.
During times of economic uncertainty, we can all use a super-smart assistant to help us find new and emerging sources of income.
