It didn’t take long for financial gurus to fall in love with ChatGPT. Self-proclaimed experts boast that they can easily make thousands of dollars with chatbots.
It’s tempting, but think twice before taking advice. AI can help you make money, but not in the way experts claim. Here are the facts about his 8 sides of his hustle that are popular on ChatGPT.
1. YouTube script writing
Content creators on YouTube find it hard to write scripts. This is a cognitively demanding task that involves several steps: topic generation, market research, and writing. Only he can take days to complete one draft.
Considering the time and effort required, many creators want ChatGPT to handle the scripting. In seconds he can produce 1,000 words of output. Just tell ChatGPT your topic, tone, and niche.
Although useful, we recommend that you do not use AI-generated scripts. They are boring and redundant. OpenAI trained ChatGPT on a limited dataset, so it only takes data from existing content such as Wikipedia pages, blogs, and journals. People have seen the same information elsewhere.
Instead of spamming your channel with generic AI-produced videos, focus on creating content that resonates with your audience. Ask your audience what they want from you. He has nearly a billion videos on YouTube, but viewers aren’t bothered by recycled ideas.
2. Academic essay writing
Taking on essay writing work is a freelance gray area. They encourage cheating. However, many freelancers sell essays despite their controversial nature. You can find some academic writing jobs online.
Technically, you could try writing a paid essay, but at least avoid using ChatGPT. OpenAI trained ChatGPT on a vast but finite dataset. We will not double check your information. Therefore, some output may contain inaccuracies or inconsistencies.
Similarly, ChatGPT has limited knowledge of events beyond 2021. The photo above shows that we don’t even know the release date. Academic writing requires a lot of fact-checking, so do your own research on the topic and cite sources. Otherwise, clients won’t hire you.
3. Copywriting and blogging
AI has come a long way from spewing inconsistent text. ChatGPT runs on an advanced language model that produces natural, human-like phrases without typos or grammatical errors. That’s already better than most inexperienced writers.
With these advances, experts say content writers should start relying on ChatGPT. Some recommend automating the entire burning process.
Chatbots make writing faster, but sending AI-generated text is unethical and irresponsible. In fact, most publications ban AI writing tools. Yes, they are fast, but they are also prone to inaccuracies and plagiarism. Avoid writing on ChatGPT unless your client tells you to.
Tips: You don’t have to ditch ChatGPT completely. A writer can use AI responsibly for researching topics, generating ideas, and simple coding.
4. How to write captions
Users often create captions as an afterthought. They are so obsessed with uploading the perfect post that they overlook other important factors. Some people just bombard their captions with hashtags.
Using ChatGPT to create captions seems practical, but the benefits are few. Captions are limited. You can’t waste character count on generic, spammy AI-generated fluff. Remember: ChatGPT only retrieves templates from its database.
Write your own captions to grab the reader’s attention. Check which format is right for your brand. Some users prefer long captions that tell a story, while others prefer a minimalist approach. We encourage you to experiment with different styles.
5. Sales of diet and fitness programs
ChatGPT has several health-focused features. Users can create recipe ideas, explore her workout routine, and ask general health questions. While useful, shady fitness gurus abuse this feature. They spit out a series of workout routines on ChatGPT, compile them into PDFs, and then ask their followers to sell them.
Worse yet, many encourage their fellow influencers to do the same. ChatGPT cannot replace licensed professionals. Limited datasets can lead to inaccurate and unreliable results. It is dangerous and irresponsible to carelessly distribute it as proven and effective advice.
You can share your personal preferences. However, do not sell workout regimen, diet, or supplement recommendations e-books unless you have the necessary certifications.
6. Website coding
ChatGPT writes the code. Just describe the purpose of your website and it will suggest appropriate code snippets. You can also enter your preferred programming language.
Most snippets work, but only cover the basics. If you try to code it, you end up with a ugly web page. ChatGPT is great for coding practice, not website sales.
If you need to launch a website but don’t have experience, use a no-code site builder. Use the drag and drop editor. Instead of manually entering source code, you can drag page elements.
7. Email marketing
Fake gurus claim that ChatGPT will take care of all your copywriting needs. Accurate and detailed prompts will likely create a custom sales email that matches your tone and branding. The image below shows a sample sales email generated by AI.
ChatGPT can create multiple sales emails quickly, but the results are not as good. Typical sales-oriented templates result in lower conversion rates. Radicati reports that consumers send and receive over 120 emails daily. Some people flag your account as spam.
Instead of sending out batches of AI-generated pitches, create personalized emails that address pain points and suggest actionable solutions. You have to know what the market wants.
8. Create and Sell Prompts
How the prompt is worded affects ChatGPT’s response. Simple questions provoke basic answers, but clever phrasing and precise instructions maximize language models.
Let’s say you want to learn about AI. The picture below shows ChatGPT’s response to a candid question.
On the other hand, the image below shows how ChatGPT’s output changes with additional instructions.
These examples just cover the basics. To get the best results from ChatGPT, you should create detailed instructions to maximize your dataset and disable certain limits. The picture below shows an effective jailbreak prompt.
Most people are unfamiliar with AI chatbots, so few can create precise instructions. Users need skilled and fast engineers. They pay for working, modern prompts that they can sell on GitHub repositories, Reddit threads, and social media sites.
Exploring responsible ways to make money with AI
AI chatbots only work as tools. Stay away from self-proclaimed gurus who claim otherwise. While you can use ChatGPT for your work, it is irresponsible and unethical to inadvertently offload an entire project.
Likewise, do your research before jumping into any other side hustle. Gigs with low barriers to entry, such as trading cryptocurrencies, setting up an e-commerce store, or taking paid surveys, are not as lucrative as first-timers might think. If you don’t manage your expectations, you will be disappointed.
