Make money using AI prompts
So you want to start making money using AI, but you’re not trying to build Skynet or learn 15 coding languages first? Good, because neither am I.
I’ve pulled together five powerful prompts you can throw into ChatGPT (or any AI tool you like) that could help you earn some extra cash this week. These are all practical, doable, and you don’t need a team of assistants to make it happen. Let’s go!
💼 Fast-track your freelance life
Prompt: “Act as a freelance business coach. Suggest 3 services I can offer on Fiverr or Upwork using AI tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney or Canva. I have [insert skill: writing/design/admin/accounting/managerial] experience.”
Why this works: Freelance work is wide open right now. Pairing your skills with AI tools makes you faster, better and more profitable.
🛍️ Make product descriptions sexy again
Prompt: “Rewrite this Etsy or Shopify product description to make it more compelling and SEO-friendly. Target audience: [insert group]. Here’s the original: [paste description].”
Why this works: Great product copy sells stuff while you sleep. Let AI help you stand out from all the blah-blah listings. Customers don’t just want to buy your weird mug, they want to buy what it says about their vibe.
📣 Social posts that sell
Prompt: “Create 5 attention-grabbing Instagram captions to promote this [product/service]. Keep the tone [fun, confident, expert] and include a strong call to action.”
Why this works: Good micro-content = major cha-ching. Suddenly you’re a one-person agency with zero meetings and snacks that don’t get judged.
📊 Polite emails that save $$$
