The claim

Use AI to write CVs and cover letters for job seekers.

Coverage centres on employers fighting AI-written applications rather than CV writing as a hustle.

What the evidence shows

Job seekers already have free AI CV tools, and recruiters say generic AI-written applications are flooding in and often get rejected. A writer who interviews the client and adds real specifics can still charge, because that personal detail is exactly what AI-only CVs lack, but pure AI output is a weak product.

Realistic earnings: Roughly £100–£500/month for a beginner who gets referrals or reviews; little if you only offer AI-generated drafts.

Limitations

Earnings ranges are typical outcomes for a beginner, drawn from the sources; some people do far better or worse. Platform rules change often, so check the latest policy before you start.

VerdictWorks with limits

Works for some, not most.
