If you follow my work, you know that over the past 15 years I’ve tried many methods of making money online. But today we live in an era where you no longer need a team of programmers or a huge advertising budget to succeed. You just need one tool: ChatGPT.
In this article I won’t be talking about selling on platforms – we’ll focus on how to use ChatGPT to create services and products that you can sell directly to businesses or individuals, and how to automate processes that will bring you money.
What is ChatGPT and why is it your new “digital employee”?
For beginners, it’s important to understand: ChatGPT is not a search engine like Google. It is generative artificial intelligence.
Term explained: Generative AI This means that artificial intelligence doesn’t just search for existing information, but creates entirely new content – texts, tables, programming code and ideas – based on your instructions.
Why is ChatGPT ideal for earning money from home?
The main problem when starting a business is usually time or a lack of certain skills (e.g. you can’t write sales copy or you don’t know foreign languages). ChatGPT erases these barriers. It writes for you, translates for you and helps you think like a marketing expert, even if you heard that term for the first time yesterday.
Strategy No. 1 – Writing SEO articles for Slovenian companies
This is currently one of the fastest ways to earn money in Slovenia. Every company needs content for their website so that people can find them on Google. Most business owners don’t have time to write, and you can use ChatGPT to write a top-quality article in just a few minutes.
How does this work in practice?
Companies need so-called blog posts.
Term explained: Blog post This is a useful article on a company’s website that answers customers’ questions. For example: a carpenter might have an article “How to choose the right wood for a kitchen countertop”.
Your process:
Find a local business (e.g. fitted wardrobes, beauty salon, accounting service).
Use ChatGPT to prepare 10 article ideas for them.
Offer them a package of 4 articles per month for e.g. €200.
Write the article with ChatGPT, edit it slightly so it sounds natural, and send it to the client.
The key to success: Always ask ChatGPT to include keywords in the article.
Term explained: Keyword These are words that people type into Google. If a company sells “fitted wardrobes”, that phrase must appear in the title and body text so that Google displays the article among the top results.
Strategy No. 2 – Become a “Copywriter” for sales emails
Writing emails (email marketing) is extremely profitable for businesses, but also very demanding. You can become their external collaborator who writes messages that sell.
Term explained: Copywriting This is the art of writing text with a single purpose: to persuade the reader to do something (buy a product, sign up for a course, click on a link).
How does ChatGPT become a top-level copywriter?
If you simply tell ChatGPT “write an email”, the result will be average. You need to use professional marketing models, such as AIDA.
Example instruction (Prompt) for ChatGPT: “Act as a direct marketing expert. Write a sales email for an online sports equipment store using the AIDA model (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action). The goal is to sell new running shoes.”
Why is this worth money? A company will happily pay you €50 for one email if that email brings them €500 in sales. With ChatGPT you’ll write it in 5 minutes.
Strategy No. 3 – YouTube automation without showing your face
You may not have known this, but you don’t need to appear on camera to succeed on YouTube. There are so-called faceless channels (channels without a face).
How to do this with ChatGPT?
Choosing a niche: Ask ChatGPT: “Give me a list of 10 profitable YouTube niches where I don’t need to show my face (e.g. interesting facts about space, motivational stories, software tutorials).”
Writing the script: Once you choose a topic, have ChatGPT write a complete script for an 8-minute video.
Video editing: Use AI tools (e.g. InVideo or Pictory) that automatically turn your script into a video using free stock footage.
Voice: Use text-to-speech tools that sound completely human.
As your channel grows, YouTube pays you a share of ad revenue. This is one of the best ways to earn passive income.
Strategy No. 4 – Creating and selling e-books on Amazon (KDP)
Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) is your next best option. It allows you to publish your book without any printing costs.
What kind of books to write with ChatGPT?
You don’t need to write 500-page novels. Short “how-to guides” sell best.
- Meditation guides.
- Recipes for specific diets (e.g. air fryer recipes).
- Instructions for using new technologies.
The process:
Ask ChatGPT to prepare a table of contents for a book on a specific topic.
Then instruct it to develop the content chapter by chapter.
Edit the book, save it in the appropriate format, and upload it to Amazon. Amazon will take care of everything – from printing (if the customer wants a physical copy) to delivery.
Strategy No. 5 – Offering translation and localization services
Slovenia is a small market. Many foreign companies want to enter it, while Slovenian companies want to expand abroad. ChatGPT translates texts excellently, as it understands context, not just individual words.
Explanation of the term: Localization This is not just a translation, but an adaptation of the text to the culture and customs of a specific nation. If you are translating from English into Slovenian, the text must sound as if it was written by a Slovenian.
You can offer companies the service of translating their websites or user manuals into multiple languages. This work is extremely fast with ChatGPT, and you can charge per word, which quickly adds up to attractive sums.
The secret to success – How to write the perfect “Prompt”?
If you ask ChatGPT “How do I make money?”, it won’t hand you cash. But if you give it precise instructions, it will give you a solution. This is called Prompt Engineering.
My golden formula for prompts:
Role + Context + Task + Constraints + Format.
Example of a good instruction: “Act as an experienced copywriter (Role). I am writing an article for beginners who want to work from home (Context). Write an introductory section of the article that will grab attention (Task). Do not use complex words and be direct (Constraints). The result should be approximately 200 words long (Format).”
By using this formula, you will get results that are ready for immediate use or sale.
How to get your first clients in Slovenia?
Earnings don’t start with ChatGPT – they start with selling your service. Here is my advice:
Find the problem: Look at a company’s website. If you see that they published their last news post back in 2022, they have a problem – they are not active.
Prepare a sample: Use ChatGPT to prepare one post or article specifically for them.
Send an offer: “Hello, I noticed that your website needs fresh content. I’ve prepared a sample article for you free of charge. If you like it, I can put together a content package for the next three months.”
Most business owners will be impressed because you showed them results before they even hired you.
Creating Content for LinkedIn and Building a Personal Brand
LinkedIn is a social network for professionals. That’s where directors and decision-makers are. If you want high-paying projects, you need to be there.
Strategy:
- Use ChatGPT to prepare one tip about using AI in business every day.
- Post this regularly on LinkedIn.
- People will start perceiving you as an AI expert.
- Companies will start calling you for consultations or training of their employees.
Become an authority in your field.
The Technical Side – Do You Need Your Own Website?
Although you can start without one, I strongly recommend that you eventually set up your own site. This is your digital business card.
I use WordPress.
Term explanation: WordPress This is the simplest website management system in the world. You don’t need any programming knowledge to use it.
You can also use ChatGPT to help you set up your site. You can ask it: “How do I change the button color in WordPress?” or “Write me the code for a simple contact form.” ChatGPT is also your personal programmer.
Affiliate Marketing with ChatGPT
This is a model where you promote other companies’ products.
Term explanation: Affiliate Marketing (Partner Marketing) You recommend a product on your website or social media (e.g. a laptop). If someone clicks on your link and makes a purchase, you earn a commission. The company pays you for referring the customer.
With ChatGPT you can write long, detailed product comparisons.
- “Top 5 Best AI Tools”
- “Comparison between iPhone 17 and Samsung Galaxy S26.”
When people search for this information before making a purchase, they will come across your article. If your advice is good, they will click on your link and you will earn money without even having your own product.
The Psychology of Sales – How Does ChatGPT Persuade a Buyer?
Earnings are not in the technology, but in understanding why people buy. ChatGPT knows all the marketing tricks. Ask it to use the PAS method.
Term explanation: PAS (Problem, Agitation, Solution) This is a formula for writing sales copy:
Problem: Highlight the issue (e.g. “You don’t have time to cook healthy meals”).
Agitation: Emphasize the consequences (e.g. “Because of this you eat fast food, feel unwell, and have no energy”).
Solution: Offer your solution (e.g. “Here is my guide with ChatGPT recipes that are ready in 10 minutes”).
If you sell your services or products using this formula, your sales will be incomparably higher.
How to Automate Customer Support?
Many companies in Slovenia are drowning in customer emails asking the same things over and over (“When will I receive my package?”, “Do you have this in stock?”).
You can offer to prepare a Response Database for the company, or build them a simple chatbot using ChatGPT that will answer these questions automatically. This is a high-value-added service that companies greatly appreciate, as you save them hours of work every day.
Market Analysis and Competition in Slovenia
In Slovenia, the advantage is that most companies are still asleep. Many aren’t even using AI tools yet. This is your opportunity.
Use ChatGPT for competitor analysis. Ask it: “What do digital agencies in Slovenia offer, and what AI-related service could I offer to stand out?” You’ll get ideas that your competition isn’t even thinking about yet.
Common mistakes you need to avoid
Blind copying: ChatGPT sometimes makes up information (so-called hallucinations). Always verify key facts before sending them to a client.
Impersonality: If the text sounds too robotic, people won’t read it. Always add your personal touch or a local Slovenian joke/expression.
Waiting for perfection: Don’t wait until you know everything about ChatGPT. Start today, learn as you go. Your goal should be the first euro earned, not a diploma in AI.
How to optimize your time with ChatGPT?
Earnings are tied to productivity. If you spend 5 hours on something that could be done in 15 minutes, you’re losing money.
Use ChatGPT for:
- Preparing work schedules.
- Writing quick email replies.
- Summarizing long meetings or documents.
- Generating ideas for new projects.
The more time you save on administrative tasks, the more time you have for what actually brings in money – sales and creation.
Diving deeper into a niche – Writing scripts for podcasts
Podcasts in Slovenia are becoming incredibly popular. Many people want their own podcast but don’t know how to structure the conversation. You can offer them a service:
- Preparing episode topics.
- Preparing questions for guests.
- Writing episode summaries for websites.
ChatGPT will do all of this for you, and you’ll charge the company for managing the entire process.
Your action plan for the next 7 days
So it doesn’t remain just reading, I’ve prepared a concrete plan for you:
- Day 1: Sign up for ChatGPT (free). Play around with it for 1 hour. Ask it questions about your hobbies to see how it responds.
- Day 2: Choose one strategy from this article (e.g. writing SEO articles).
- Day 3: Find 5 local businesses that have a poor website or little content.
- Day 4: Use ChatGPT to prepare a sample article for one of these businesses.
- Day 5: Send your offer. Don’t be pushy, be helpful.
- Day 6: If you get a response, arrange a short call or meeting. If not, send your offer to the next 5 businesses.
- Day 7: Analyze what worked and where you had difficulties.
Conclusion
Earning with ChatGPT is no magic. It’s simply making use of a new tool that’s available to us. Twenty years ago we had to do everything manually, but today we have a digital genius in our pocket.
I started my journey without any of this. Today you have an enormous advantage. Don’t waste it by procrastinating. The world is changing, and those who learn to use artificial intelligence will be the ones setting the rules of the game.
On my website zannekrep.si I will continue publishing practical tips on how to use the internet for your success. I hope this guide has inspired you and that you’ll take your first step today.
Don’t forget: The best time to start was a year ago. The second best time is TODAY.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Do I need the paid version of ChatGPT? Not to start. The free version is more than enough to earn your first few thousand euros. The paid version (Plus) is recommended later, when you need greater speed and more advanced tools.
2. How much can I actually earn? It all depends on your resourcefulness. If you write articles, you can earn between €500 and €2,000 per month. If you build a YouTube channel or sell e-books, the amounts can be considerably higher, but they require more time.
3. Can companies catch me using AI? Using AI is not a sin, it’s a tool. What matters to a company is the result – an article that brings in customers, or an email that sells. If the content is quality, they won’t care which tool you used.
