ChatGPT is a powerful natural language generation tool that can write anything from blog posts to code. But did you know that ChatGPT can also help you start a lucrative side hustle that can earn you up to $10k/month or more? In this article, I’ll show you how you can leverage ChatGPT’s amazing capabilities to create your own online business in 5 different niches.

1. Create a resume and cover letter writing service

One of the most in-demand skills in today’s job market is resume and cover letter writing. Many people struggle with crafting a professional and persuasive resume and cover letter that can land them their dream job. That’s where you can supply this demand with your own resume and cover letter writing service.

You can use ChatGPT to write high-quality and customized resumes and cover letters for your clients, in a highly customizable fashion. Simply type in the client’s name, industry, and job title, and ask ChatGPT to generate a resume and cover letter that can highlight their skills, achievements, and personality. Then you can optimize your client’s resume by referencing their existing resume or by interviewing them about their experience.

The going rate for this service is anywhere from $50 to $500 per resume and cover letter, depending on the level of experience, industry, and complexity. Additional services you can offer in this niche are LinkedIn profile optimization, career coaching, or interview preparation. Sourcing clients is as simple as joining Facebook groups dedicated to job seekers, perusing Craigslist for job seekers or even tapping your friends/family or alumni networks. You can also source clients from platforms such as Upwork, Fiverr, or LinkedIn, or create your own website and blog to showcase your portfolio and testimonials.

2. Start a blog and monetize it with ads and affiliate marketing

Blogging is one of the most popular and profitable side hustles you can start with ChatGPT. Blogging allows you to share your passion, knowledge, or expertise with the world, and earn money from ads and affiliate marketing. Ads are banners or links that you display on your blog, that pay you every time someone clicks on them. Affiliate marketing is when you promote other people’s products or services on your blog, and receive a commission whenever someone makes a purchase through your link.

ChatGPT is a great starting resource to write high-quality and engaging blog posts for your niche and target audience. Simply type in a blog post idea and ask ChatGPT to generate some text that can match your tone, style, and purpose. You can also use ChatGPT to research SEO-friendly topics and keywords that can help you rank higher on Google and drive more traffic to your blog.

As mentioned, you can monetize your blog with ads and affiliate marketing by signing up on platforms such as Google Adsense, Mediavine, or Amazon Associates. If you’re more entrepreneurial, you can create your own products or services, such as e-books, courses, or coaching, and sell them via your blog. Blogging will earn you anywhere from $500 to $10,000 per month, depending on your niche, traffic, and monetization strategy. Be mindful that to be successful blogging it takes consistent posting, quality content and time, so pick a niche topic you’re passionate about!

3. Create a YouTube channel and monetize it with ads and sponsorships

YouTube is another great side hustle option tailormade for ChatGPT. YouTube allows you to create and share videos on any topic you want, and earn money from ads and sponsorships. Ads are videos or banners that you display on your channel, that pay you every time someone watches or clicks on them. Is it just me, or are you also noticing that YouTube is increasing its ad-to-content ratio (that’s a topic for another article, wink)? Sponsorships are when you partner with brands or companies to promote their products or services on your channel, and you get paid a fixed amount or a percentage of sales.

ChatGPT is an excellent script writing tool, producing high-quality and engaging content for your YouTube videos. Simply type in a video idea and ask ChatGPT to generate a script that can match your tone, style, and purpose. You can also use ChatGPT to research popular and trending topics and keywords that can help you grow your audience and views.

In order to monetize your YouTube channel with ads and sponsorships you need to sign up for the YouTube Partner Program, which requires you to have at least 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours in the past 12 months (YouTube changes these benchmarks from time to time). You can also reach out to brands or companies that are relevant to your niche and audience and pitch them your sponsorship proposal (ChatGPT can help you with that too). You can earn anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000 per month from YouTube, depending on your niche, views, and monetization strategy. As with blogging, the keys to monetizing YouTube content, consistency, engaging content and patience – it takes time.

4. Create a podcast and monetize it with ads and sponsorships

Podcasting is another popular and profitable side hustle you can start with ChatGPT. Podcasting allows you to create and share audio content on any topic you want, while once again earning money from ads and sponsorships. Ads are audio clips or banners that you display on your podcast that pay you every time someone listens to or clicks on them. Once again, sponsorships are when you partner with brands or companies to promote their products or services on your podcast, and you get paid a fixed amount or a percentage of sales.

ChatGPT can help you write high-quality and engaging scripts for your podcast episodes. Simply type in a podcast idea and ask ChatGPT to generate a script that can match your tone, style, and purpose. You can also use ChatGPT to research popular and trending topics and keywords that can help you attract and retain your listeners.

You can monetize your podcast with ads and sponsorships by signing up for platforms such as Anchor, Podcorn, or Podbean. You can also reach out to brands or companies that are relevant to your niche and audience and pitch them your sponsorship proposal. You’ll earn anywhere from $500 to $10,000 per month from podcasting, depending on your niche, downloads, and monetization strategy. Once again, consistency, quality and time are key, so pick a niche you’re passionate about.

5. Create a course and sell it on platforms such as Udemy or Skillshare

If you have a skill or knowledge that you want to teach others, you can create a course and sell it on platforms such as Udemy or Skillshare. Creating a course allows you to share your expertise with the world and earn money from enrollments and royalties. Udemy is a platform that allows you to create and sell your course for a fixed price, and you get to keep 97% of the revenue if you bring your own students, or 50% if Udemy brings them. Skillshare is a platform that allows you to create and share your course for free, and you get paid based on the number of minutes watched by premium members.

You can use ChatGPT to write high-quality and engaging content for your course. Simply type in a course idea and ask ChatGPT to generate an outline, a curriculum, or a lesson that matches your tone, style, and purpose. You can also use ChatGPT to research popular and trending topics and keywords that can help you create a course that people want to learn.

As mentioned, you can create and sell your course on platforms such as Udemy or Skillshare by signing up for free and uploading your course content. You can also promote your course on your own website, blog, social media, or email list. You’ll earn anywhere from $500 to $10,000 per month from creating a course, depending on your niche, enrollments, and platform. It goes without saying but pick a topic you’re an expert on. It can be anything from, “how to make breakfast while effectively managing toddlers”, to “how to build a remote controlled drone from scratch”, the world is a big place with a lot of people, many of whom are seeking an expert exactly like yourself.
