How I Use ChatGPT to Make Money, Stay Productive, & Hit Big Goals

Most people use ChatGPT just to answer random questions... or write poems that sound like Shakespeare or Eminem.

But if you're only using it for that... you're missing out on the incredible opportunity to use it as your personal assistant. It doesn't just write drafts...

It can level up your mindset, personal development and help you make $$ faster.

Forget what you heard... ChatGPT is NOT just a chatbot.

It's time to respect its power and ability to help you make money, optimize productivity, and stay focused on your biggest goals.

In this post, I’m going to break down exactly how I use ChatGPT to:

✅ Make money with freelancing, content creation, and digital products...

✅ Build structured systems that keep me accountable...

✅ Stay disciplined and push through mental roadblocks...

And more.

How I Use ChatGPT To Make Money

If you’re serious about making money online, use ChatGPT so you don't have to do all the hard work all by yourself.

Here’s exactly how I use it to streamline my workflow, create income streams, and scale my side hustles.

1. Freelancing & Content Creation (Make Money Faster)

I started freelancing in 2018... and ChatGPT has completely changed how I do client work and content creation.

It's hard to believe that I ever did all of it manually 100% by myself a few years ago.

These days... I use it to brainstorm blog topics, marketing strategies, and video scripts.

I research faster... instead of spending countless hours on Google... I ask ChatGPT for the brief summary.

It also helps me write drafts.

I use it to create outlines, first drafts, and ad copy (I always tweak it using my skills and expertise).

Here's an example... 

Let’s say I want to write some blog posts or social media posts.

Instead of staring at a blank screen, I'd ask ChatGPT something like:

"Give me 10 blog post ideas for [niche]."

"Give me the outline for a high-converting sales page for [product]."


Now you have a big head start on your project.

Often, the hardest part of a project is just getting started. It's intimidating to stare at the blank screen with the cursor blinking back at you.

I don't know how many times I sat there for a few minutes, then decided to take a break and come back to it later because I didn't know where to start.

And if you're a freelancer, the faster you can get started means the faster you can get work done and get more clients.

Speed = more money.

2. Business Planning & Goal Setting (Scale Your Side Hustles)

ChatGPT isn’t just for writing...

It’s also a powerful business coach.

As you'll see in today's podcast episode...

I just used ChatGPT to map out a 1-page business plan for my TikTok growth strategy.

My current goal?

Get 1 million views in a week.

Here’s how I used ChatGPT to make that goal more actionable:

✅ Broke the goal into daily tasks
✅ Decided the top 3 tasks that drive results
✅ Created a content schedule designed for maximum reach & views

Now it's your turn.

Open ChatGPT and try this prompt:

"Help me create a step by step action plan to achieve [goal] in 30 days."

If you're not sure yet what your goal is... do some interactive journaling with ChatGPT.

Just talk to it like a friend or business coach, tell it what's on your mind, what you want to achieve this year.

You could even ask GPT to help you define your big goal for next 3-12 months.

This is critical, so don't skip this.

If you have a side hustle or you want to start one, you must have clear goals... and ChatGPT makes it easier to structure your game plan.

3. Monetize Your Skills & Knowledge: Turn Free Content into Passive Income

A lot of people post online but never make money from it.

Now you don't have an excuse because ChatGPT can help you optimize your content.

I use it to help me outline content that drives traffic to my blog and products.

It helps me write better titles and CTAs (call to action) that convert readers into buyers.

I also use it to repurpose content and video transcripts into emails, blog posts, and TikToks.

Here's an example...

Instead of writing new content from scratch, you can ask something like:

"Turn this blog post into a viral Twitter thread."

"Rewrite this TikTok script as an email for my newsletter."


​This means I get way more reach, views, and clicks without doing extra work...

And that means more sales.

The Ultimate Secret to Making Money with ChatGPT?

Most people treat ChatGPT like a toy...

Or they just let it sit there and gather dust while they ignore its money-making power.

But the real money is made by those who know how to use it as a serious business tool.

You can use ChatGPT and other A.I. tools to help you:

Speed up content creation...

Plan and improve your workflow...

Turn free organic traffic into paying customers...

And much, much more.

Best of all, you don’t need experience or any previous success. You just need the right strategy.
