Earn $100/Day Using ChatGPT — Step-by-Step Guide

How I Made My First $500 Using AI Automation

Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a buzzword. It’s a full-blown revolution—and you’re not late. In fact, you’re right on time. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the exact steps I took to earn my first $500 using ChatGPT and AI automation, and how you can scale that into a consistent $100/day income stream.

Let’s dive in.

🧠 Why ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is like having a 24/7 assistant that never sleeps, never complains, and doesn’t need coffee. You can use it for content creation, customer support, coding, brainstorming, and even building businesses. The best part? You don’t need to be a tech expert.

📈 Step 1: Choose Your Monetization Model

There are tons of ways to make money with ChatGPT, but here are the most beginner-friendly:

Freelancing with AI Help
- Offer content writing, copywriting, social media posts, email marketing.
- Use ChatGPT to draft, edit, and refine.
Selling Digital Products
- Use ChatGPT to create eBooks, guides, templates, or Notion dashboards.
- Sell them on Gumroad, Etsy, or your own site.
AI-Powered YouTube Scripts or TikTok Content
- Let ChatGPT script your videos.
- Use tools like Pictory or Synthesia for faceless video automation.
Affiliate Marketing with AI Content
- Let ChatGPT write blog posts, product reviews, or email sequences.
- Use SEO + affiliate links to drive commissions.

My Pick for Starting: Freelancing + Selling Digital Products (combo worked fastest for me).

🛠 Step 2: Set Up Your Tools

Here’s what I used to get started:

ChatGPT Pro ($20/month): Unlocks GPT-4, more consistent performance.
Canva / Notion / Google Docs: For designing and organizing digital products.
Gumroad: Easy to sell digital products.
Fiverr / Upwork: Find your first freelance clients.

Optional: Zapier + Notion or Make.com to automate tasks (e.g., sending content to clients, uploading updates).

✍️ Step 3: Offer a Simple Freelance Service (and Use ChatGPT to Do 80%)

Here’s what I did:

Niche: LinkedIn Bio + Resume Rewriting

I posted on Reddit, Twitter, and Fiverr offering a $15 resume rewrite.
Client sends their resume.
I paste it into ChatGPT with this prompt:

“Rewrite this resume in a professional tone, emphasizing achievements, clarity, and using industry-standard formatting.”

ChatGPT gives me a near-final draft.
I tweak it, send it back. Done in 20 minutes.

🔁 Do this 5x a day = $75+

🛒 Step 4: Create a Digital Product in 1 Day Using ChatGPT

My First Product: “50 ChatGPT Prompts for Small Businesses”

Steps:

Asked ChatGPT to generate 100 business prompts.
Picked 50 good ones.
Designed a 10-page PDF in Canva.
Uploaded to Gumroad.
Priced at $9.

Posted it on Reddit, Twitter, and IndieHackers. Got 56 sales in a week.

💡 Pro Tip: Bundle with something like a Notion dashboard or checklist = Higher perceived value.

🔄 Step 5: Automate & Scale

Once you’re earning $30–50/day consistently:

Templates + ChatGPT = Faster Client Delivery
Use Zapier to auto-send emails or content drafts.
Set up Google Forms to collect client inputs.
Use Notion or Airtable to manage clients + content.

You’re now doing 1 hour of work for $100/day.

📦 My Actual Breakdown: First $500 Using ChatGPT

Source	Earnings	Time Spent
Resume Rewrites	$285	~10 hours
Digital Product Sales	$189	~5 hours
TikTok Scriptwriting	$60	~2 hours
Total	$534	17 hours

Not bad for just testing the waters. Now I’m aiming for $1K/week.
