For a guest, you have to contact people. Two resources are matchmaker.fm and r/PodcastGuestExchange. It is noticeably harder to get booked as a guest than it is to book guests for your own show.

I don't wanna discourage people from trying to make side income with AI novels done with ChatGPT/Claude, or coloring books done with Midjourney, but that's literally the lowest hanging fruit. Instead - maybe focus on some no-code AI apps you could build. I found plenty of success stories and ideas on sites like trends.co or theaiplug.co. Source: 10 months ago
