7 Ways to Start Earning With ChatGPT This Month (With Prompts You Can Copy)
ChatGPT won't run a business for you. What it does brilliantly is take the slow first draft off your plate, so you can spend your time on the parts clients actually pay for: judgment, taste and follow-through.
Below are seven services you can start offering this month. Each one comes with a prompt from our guide that you can copy, paste and adapt.
1. Blog posts for small businesses
Most local businesses know they should blog. Very few have the time. Offer a monthly package of two or four posts.
"Create a 1500-word blog post for a travel blog. The post should provide a detailed guide on 'Exploring Hidden Gems in Paris'. Include an engaging introduction, a list of top 10 hidden gems, practical tips for travelers, and a conclusion. Use a friendly and informative tone."
Tip: always add the client's own stories, photos and opinions. That's what makes a post worth reading, and it's what ChatGPT can't invent.
2. Product descriptions for online stores
Store owners with dozens of products often have thin, copied descriptions. Rewriting them is a clear, easy-to-price job.
"Write an engaging product description for a luxury wristwatch. Highlight its features, such as the material, craftsmanship, and unique design. Use a sophisticated and descriptive tone to appeal to affluent customers. The description should be around 300 words."
3. Email newsletters
A business that emails its customers every month stays top of mind. Offer to write and schedule the newsletter for them.
"Draft a monthly newsletter for a digital marketing agency. The newsletter should include sections such as industry news, featured case studies, tips and tricks, and upcoming events. Use a professional and informative tone."
4. Social media content calendars
Planning a month of posts is the part most owners dread. Deliver ten or twenty ready-to-post ideas with captions and hashtags.
"Generate 10 Instagram post ideas for a sustainable fashion brand. Each post should include a catchy caption, relevant hashtags, and a brief description of the visual content. Use an inspiring and eco-friendly tone."
5. YouTube video scripts
Creators who are great on camera often struggle with structure. A clear script with segments and on-screen text saves them hours.
"Write a script for a 5-minute YouTube video on 'How to Create a Successful Morning Routine'. Include an engaging introduction, step-by-step tips, and a motivational closing. Structure the script with clear segments and transitions."
6. Ad copy
Short, punchy copy for ads and landing pages is quick to produce and easy to test. Offer three variations per brief so clients can compare.
"Create persuasive ad copy for a new fitness app targeting millennials. The copy should highlight the app's unique features, such as personalized workout plans and progress tracking. Use a motivational and energetic tone. No more than 150 words."
7. Your own ebook
Instead of trading time for money, package what you know into a short guide you can sell again and again.
"Outline a comprehensive 10-chapter e-book on 'The Complete Guide to Digital Marketing for Small Businesses'. Each chapter should cover a different aspect of digital marketing. Include actionable tips, real-life examples, and case studies. Provide summaries and key takeaways at the end of each chapter."
How to make these prompts work better
- Be specific. Name the audience, the length and the tone, just like the prompts above do.
- Give it context. Paste in the client's brand notes, past posts or product details.
- Edit everything. Treat the output as a first draft. Check facts, add personality and cut filler.
An honest note
None of these is a shortcut to instant money. The people who do well with them pick one service, find a handful of clients, and get really good at it. Start small and build from there.
