How to Make Money With ChatGPT (Tried and Tested Prompts)

June 7, 2023

ChatGPT is one of the fastest-growing technologies and platforms in history. As soon as you start using it, you’ll see why. It’s a big deal, and it is set to completely change the way we live and work.

Entrepreneurs are starting to realize you can use ChatGPT to make money online, either by starting a new business or making huge efficiencies in their existing business.

Here at WGMI Media, we grew this blog from 300 monthly visits to 500k monthly visits in just six months with the help of ChatGPT. It’s not just blogs you can start with ChatGPT… in this article, we’ll provide the prompts you can copy and paste to make over $10,000 every month with any of the following businesses:

  • Start a blog
  • Sell digital products
  • E-commerce
  • Become a copywriter
  • Become a freelancer
  • Start a digital marketing agency

How to use these prompts: In this article, each prompt has sections in square brackets [LIKE THIS] that you will need to delete and fill in with the appropriate information. The information you include in the prompts should be applicable to your specific situation and experiences.

Blogging

For those that want to create content but don’t want to hop in front of a camera, blogging remains one of the supreme methods for making money online.

Anyone can start a blog (you don’t need to be a pro writer), and there are hundreds of ways to monetize it. Here’s how to get started in the blogging business with the help of ChatGPT.

1. Brainstorming Content Ideas

If your blog needs one thing, it is plenty of articles. The more volume, the better chance you have of establishing authority in your topic (and therefore improving your chances of ranking on Google).

Picasso had a saying: “good artists copy; great artists steal”. The art of growing your blog is no different. Let ChatGPT take inspiration from your competitors by showing it the best-performing articles in your niche. Then, ask ChatGPT to brainstorm ideas for you.

Prompt: I write a blog about [NICHE].
Here are five examples of blogs from my competitors that are performing well:

- [BLOG TITLE 1]
- [BLOG TITLE 2]
- [BLOG TITLE 3]
- [BLOG TITLE 4]
- [BLOG TITLE 5]

Please brainstorm 10 article ideas for my blog.

2. Write Captivating Introductions

Article introductions are so so important. It’s your one shot to convince your reader that they should take time out of their day to read your article.

If you’re struggling to think of a killer introduction, then ask ChatGPT to help you! Sometimes, you just need to think of a good angle.

Prompt: I am writing an article about [ARTICLE TOPIC].

I want you to help me brainstorm 3 different angles for the introduction of the article.

Make sure the introductions identify an issue, and how this article is the solution. Make it clear who and how this article will help.

3. Create “Best XXX” List Content

When people want to buy something, they look online for reviews. Imagine you want to buy an air fryer – it’s likely you’ll Google something along the lines of: “Best Air Fryers”. The beauty of “Best” lists is that you can inject affiliate links that pay you a commission every time someone clicks on them.

Researching and writing these articles takes a lot of time, so let ChatGPT do some of the heavy lifting.

Prompt: I have a blog about [NICHE]. Please help me create a list of the top [NUMBER] [PRODUCTS/SERVICES/ITEMS] in my niche including:

[ITEM 1]
[ITEM 2]
[ITEM 3]

Each item on the list should achieve the following:
(a) Start out with an introductory sentence or two about that item's key selling point and feature (i.e. what problem does it solve). The first two sentences should use language that continually convinces the reader that it is important that they keep reading. These sentences should identify exactly who this idea or tool is for (i.e. who will it benefit the most).
(b) It should list in bullet points all the key features of that item.
(c) Provide real-life examples to demonstrate the benefit of this item. Provide details of a specific use case that demonstrates how this item could be used. Bring this example to life with detail.

Sell Digital Products

If you’re looking for passive income, digital products are an entrepreneur’s dream. They’re simple to create, and when it is complete you can sell it forever with minimal extra effort. ChatGPT is a godsend for anyone that wants to make money selling digital products. 

1. Write an eBook

Writing a book can take a long time to research, structure, and write. Here are all the ChatGPT prompts you need to do all of that in a fraction of the time it usually takes.

Structure your e-book
If you’re not sure how to structure your eBook, then ask ChatGPT to help you out. The more context you can give here, the better.

Prompt: I am writing an ebook on [TOPIC]. The target audience is [XXX] and I want to help my audience to [XXX]

I want my ebook to include the following topics: [TOPIC 1] [TOPIC 2] …

It should be structured as a how-to book as follows: 1. Introduction. 2. First Step. 3. Second Step. 4. Third Step... Conclusion.

Please brainstorm 3 different structures for my ebook.

Use micro-prompts to write your e-book
Rather than asking ChatGPT to write whole chapters, ask it to write specific sections and feed it as much detail as possible.

Prompt: I am writing an eBook called [TITLE]. Write an introduction for a Chapter called [XXX]. The introduction for this chapter should hook the reader and convince them that it is important they read this chapter in full. In particular, it is important that this chapter talks about [XXX].

2. Sell printables on Etsy

A digital printable is a form / template / document / design that can be delivered online and then printed by the buyer. Some examples include checklists, planners, calendars, lesson plans, coloring book pages, games, notebooks and much more.

After you’ve identified your niche, it’s time to think of some product ideas. ChatGPT is the perfect tool to help you brainstorm those ideas.

Prompt: I want to create a printable digital product that I can sell on Etsy. I am creating products in the [NICHE] niche.

Brainstorm 10 ideas for printable digital products that I can sell on Etsy.

Brainstorm checklist digital product ideas

Prompt: I want to create a printable digital product that I can sell on Etsy. I am creating products in the [NICHE] niche.

Brainstorm 10 ideas for printable checklists that I can sell on Etsy.

Brainstorm calendar digital product ideas

Prompt: I want to create a printable digital product that I can sell on Etsy. I am creating products in the [NICHE] niche.

Brainstorm 10 ideas for printable calendars that I can sell on Etsy.

E-commerce / Dropshipping

Many people start their entrepreneurial journey with e-commerce or dropshipping. That’s because you don’t have to invest much capital to get started.

However, to be successful in e-commerce, you need to do a lot of things to a very high standard. The perfect product, a slick website, a persuasive product page, engaging content, captivating copywriting, flawless customer support… the list goes on.

It requires a full team to do this properly and profitably. Until ChatGPT came along.

1. Write Product Descriptions

This prompt should help you construct a product description that not only informs but also persuades and connects with your audience on an emotional level.

Prompt: I am selling [PRODUCT NAME] at a price of [PRICE]. This product originates from [PLACE] and is made from [MATERIALS]. My brand, [BRAND NAME], is known for [BRAND VALUES]. This product fits into the [DESCRIBE LIFESTYLE] lifestyle and has the following unique features: [LIST FEATURES]. Please help me draft an engaging and value-communicating product page copy that balances product detailing, brand representation, the benefits identification, and lifestyle integration in a humanized tone.

2. Email marketing campaigns

Email marketing is fundamental for a successful dropshipping business. Emails build a relationship of trust with your customers, and keep your products fresh in the consumers’ minds.

Sticky subject lines
Your first job is to stand out in an overcrowded inbox (while avoiding the Spam folder). We have to grab attention and avoid being too clickbaity. It’s a tricky balance, and ChatGPT can help us strike it.

Prompt: I am writing an email to my email list about [TOPIC] [DESCRIBE THE VALUE IT OFFERS READERS (IF POSSIBLE]

I need you to write a sticky subject line for the email. The email subject line should:

Use simple language - be VERY short - be descriptive - avoid spam words like "buy now" or "free" etc.

The email subject line could (but doesn't have to): - give a clear demand - share something valuable - make an announcement - say something unexpected or intriguing - inspire curiosity - suggest exclusivity or urgency

Brainstorm 5 different subject lines.

Write sales emails
A Spotlight Email shines the limelight on a specific product or service you believe your reader will find valuable. It serves to not only introduce the product but to explain its value, provide social proof, and depict the transformation it can bring to the reader’s life.

Prompt: I run a business called [BUSINESS NAME] that sells [PRODUCTS/SERVICES]. I want to spotlight one of our products, [PRODUCT NAME], in an email to our subscribers. This product offers [VALUE IT PROVIDES]. We have a client testimonial from [CLIENT NAME] that says, "[CLIENT TESTIMONIAL]". I want to paint a picture of the transformation this product can bring, moving our customers from their current (difficult) situation to a much better one. How can I structure this Spotlight Email effectively?

The email must be very easy to read and consume. That means it should:

- Have most important message at the top, and repeat it at the end
- Use bullet points and short paragraphs
- Use bold, italic and underlines to highlight key points.

Become a Copywriter

Writing persuasive and engaging content is a challenge that many marketers and businesses face. To solve this issue, some businesses turn to expensive copywriters… most settle for mediocre content.

ChatGPT is extremely effective at writing compelling copy. Whether you are a business that wants to increase sales, or a marketer that wants to boost productivity (and serve more clients), mastering ChatGPT for copywriting is a no-brainer.

1. Use copywriting formulas

Most copywriters don’t have a supernatural talent for writing. They use tried and tested, scientifically proven formulas to write their copy. You can incorporate these formulas into your ChatGPT prompts to generate high-impact copy.

PAS is an incredibly reliable sales copy formula. Use it in your copy to multiply your conversions.

Prompt: I am selling [PRODUCT / SERVICE]

I need to write [INSERT]

Use the PAS formula to write it:

- Step 1 (Problem): Lay out the reader’s problem
- Step 2 (Agitate): Rub salt in the wounds… dig deeper into an issue they are angry or agitated about.
- Step 3 (Solution): Step in with the solution. What I am selling is the solution to their problems and anger... explain how.

2. Write killer Call to Actions (CTAs)

To market effectively, you need a clear goal. Do you want someone to buy a product? Sign up to your newsletter? Attend an event? When you know your goal, you need convincing copy that tells your reader exactly what to do, how to do it, and that you want them to do it right now. 

We call this a Call To Action (CTA). We can use ChatGPT to help us write convincing CTAs.

Prompt: My goal is to [GOAL]

[DETAILS OF YOUR PRODUCT / SERVICE / VALUE]

Please help me write a Call To Action to achieve my goal. The CTA should:

1. Be direct and use active language (it should be short, simple, commanding, and strong)
2. Be interesting (offer something that solves a problem)
3. Use power words (like new, discover, act now)
4. Hint at urgency (use words like 'don't miss out, sign up before midnight, buy now to get free postage etc.)
5. Remove risk (no credit card needed. Full money-back guarantee. Cancel at any time).

Please write 3 different CTAs for me.

Freelancing

One of the easiest ways to quit your job and start making money online is to become a freelancer. If you have any skills, from graphic design to content writing, there are businesses looking for your services.

Growing your personal brand and finding clients can be cumbersome, but you can use ChatGPT to help you out.

1. Refine your LinkedIn profile

Your LinkedIn headline is not just a job title; it’s the window to your professional brand on LinkedIn. An effective headline grabs attention, showcases your expertise, and compels people to learn more about you.

Prompt: I am a [YOUR PROFESSION/ROLE] and I want to optimize my LinkedIn headline. Here is some key information about me and my target audience:

1. My Profession/Role: [FOR EXAMPLE: Founder of the UK Digital Forum]
2. Keywords Relevant to My Role: [FOR EXAMPLE: Delivering quality websites, apps and games]
3. My Target Audience: [FOR EXAMPLE: Brands looking for digital solutions]
4. Problems I Solve for My Audience: [FOR EXAMPLE: Need for quality digital products to power their brands]
5. Changes or Transformations I Bring: [FOR EXAMPLE: Empower brands with quality digital products]
6. Notable Achievements or Authority: [FOR EXAMPLE: New York Times bestseller, if applicable]

Given this information, please create 5 brief, clear, and engaging LinkedIn headline examples, each within the limit of 220 characters, that effectively convey my value to my target audience.

2. Writing cold outreach email

Outreach is an essential part of any freelancer’s journey. It’s about strategically reaching out to prospective clients and showcasing what you bring to the table. This process often involves writing cold emails or sending direct messages on social media platforms – essentially, initiating conversations with potential clients who may not be actively seeking your services but could benefit from them.

Outreach is a numbers game, so it is inherently labor-intensive. However, we can use ChatGPT to help us reach out to 10x more people, 10x quicker.

Prompt: I need to write a cold email to [Prospective Client's Name or Role] of [COMPANY NAME]. I am a [Your Profession], and I specialize in [Your Specialization or USP]. I would like to offer them my services related to [Specific Services]. I believe I can help the company [Details of how you can help the company]. I want to [Desired Action (e.g.Book a call)].
Please help me draft a personalized and engaging email that:

1. Gets straight to the point
2. Adheres to the 2:1 rule (it talks about the prospective client 2x more than it talks about me)
3. Includes a strong call to action.
4. Doesn’t diminish me: i.e. DOES NOT use phrases like “sorry to bother” or “don’t want to take up too much time”
5. Focuses on ONE key benefit of working with me.
6. Has a maximum of 100 words.

Start a Digital Marketing Agency

Advertising products and services through Meta Ads remains one of the most effective ways to find customers.

Many businesses struggle to create engaging ad creatives that convert people into customers. That’s why they pay lots of money to marketing agencies that can help them with their ads.

An effective ad is all about creating engaging, persuasive content that turns viewers into customers. You can use ChatGPT to help you make that content.

1. Brainstorm ad ideas on a small budget

If you don’t have the budget to hire actors and recording equipment, then fear not. You can still create excellent video ad creatives on a budget using stock footage and images that you can find on websites like Pexels. AI tools like InVideo also make editing your videos incredibly easy.

Here is a prompt you can use in ChatGPT to help you brainstorm video ad ideas you can make on a shoestring budget.

Prompt: I need to make an ad for a business called [BUSINESS NAME] that sells [PRODUCT/SERVICE]. I want to create a video ad for Facebook that stands out and effectively communicates the brand message. The target audience is [TARGET AUDIENCE]. I want the video ad to:
- Evoke a strong emotion in the customer.
- make sense even without sound
- grab attention within the first 3 seconds
- be concise yet powerful
- focusing on [KEY MESSAGE/USP].
- Use the power of storytelling… [INSERT SPECIFIC STORY THEME IF APPLICABLE]
- Be possible to make using only stock photos, videos and footage I can find online. I have no budget to pay actors or use expensive equipment.

My primary goal for this video ad is [SPECIFIC GOAL: e.g., brand awareness, lead generation, conversions].

Please suggest 3 engaging ideas for my video ad within my very small budget.

2. Write compelling ad copy

A captivating headline, a compelling description, and an engaging primary text can make all the difference between a scroll-past and a click-through. These prompts should help you create effective ad copy that drives conversions.

Prompts for your Headline

Prompt: I'm creating a Facebook ad for a business, [BUSINESS NAME]. The business is selling [PRODUCT/SERVICE] and I want to capture the audience's attention with a short, punchy headline that clearly conveys my offer. The headline should be under 27 characters and deliver one key message. What are some compelling headline ideas for my ad?

Prompt for the Description

Prompt: I'm creating a Facebook ad for the business, [BUSINESS NAME]. The business is selling [PRODUCT/SERVICE]

I have a headline for my Facebook ad, and now I need a supporting description that provides additional information about the offer. The headline is [INSERT HEADLINE]

The description should be concise and compelling, possibly hinting at a time limit, offering a special deal, or inviting the audience to engage further. What could be an enticing description to accompany my headline? Examples include: “Sale ends this Friday”, “Free shipping”, or “Click to learn more”.

Prompt for the Primary Text

Prompt: I'm creating a Facebook ad for the business, [BUSINESS NAME]. The business is selling [PRODUCT/SERVICE].

I'm crafting the primary text for my Facebook ad. It should be a maximum of three sentences, grabbing attention, sparking interest, and creating desire.

Use the AIDA formula to write it:

- Step 1 (Attention): Open with a bang. Grab the reader's attention with a bold statement, fact, or question
- Step 2 (Interest): Hook the reader's interest with features and benefits
- Step 3 (Desire): Make the reader feel a sense of desire by showing them their life with my solution.
- Step 4 (Action): Spur the reader into action and tell them what to do next (a CTA).

The text should focus on the benefits to the audience and include a clear call-to-action.

I'd also like to incorporate an emoji at the end of the first sentence.
