Now, that’s a real question.
Because let’s be honest — no one wants to spend 3 weeks learning “prompt engineering” only to end up with… nothing. No sales. No DMs. Just you, your laptop, and the crushing sound of silence.
I know I wouldn’t.
Which is why I’m writing this — not as some guru with a course and a fancy funnel (okay fine, I do have a course now… but we’ll get to that later) — but as someone who literally made $1,200 last month just by asking ChatGPT weird questions… and then copy-pasting them into Facebook groups full of tired moms, confused small biz owners, and people who just really hate writing emails.
And yes — I did most of it while wearing the same sweatpants for three days straight. Don’t judge me. Judge the results.

Maybe it’s because I’m lazy. Or maybe it’s because I’m a mom of two boys who think “quiet time” means screaming at each other from different rooms.
Either way — I don’t have time to learn SEO. Or build a website. Or film TikToks where I pretend to be excited about “morning routines.”
So I found the lazy girl’s shortcut to making money online:
ChatGPT + Facebook = my new side hustle soulmate.
And honestly? It’s working better than my actual job did. And I didn’t even have to wear pants.
So far, I’ve sold:
- 37 custom meal plans to moms in Facebook groups who replied with “OMG THANK YOU I WAS ABOUT TO ORDER PIZZA AGAIN”
- 12 “Happy Anniversary” poems (people pay $15 for 8 lines of rhyming fluff?? wild.)
- 8 budget planners to folks who say “I’m bad with money” — spoiler: they’re not. They just never had a plan that didn’t feel like punishment.
- And one very confused local bakery owner now has 3 months of Facebook content… written by AI. He thinks I’m a “marketing wizard.” I think I’m someone who knows how to type “write a fun post about croissants” into a chat box.
I only spend about 4–5 hours a week on this.
“It’s not exactly passive… but at least I can make sales while I’m folding laundry, ignoring my kid’s math homework, or pretending to listen to my partner talk about his fantasy football team.”

The other night? My 9-year-old was full-on sobbing over a word problem:
“There are 3,600 apple and pear trees in an orchard. After planting 40 more pear trees, there were three times as many apple trees as pear trees. How many apple and pear trees were originally in the orchard?”
I stared at it. Brain = soup. Cold, lumpy soup.
So I opened ChatGPT.
Typed:
“Explain this like I’m 9. Use apples and pears. No algebra. Add emojis if you feel like it.”
Three seconds later? Crystal clear. Step-by-step. With little 🍎 and 🍐 icons.
He stopped crying. I stopped feeling like a failure. Everyone hugged. (Okay, no one hugged. But emotionally? We hugged.)
Then — later that same night — I got sent a photo. Of a contract. In Cyrillic.
Not a PDF. Not even a screenshot of text.
I dragged it into ChatGPT.
Two clicks.
Boom. English.
Before? I’d be Googling “how to translate image text free no scam” for 20 minutes, downloading three apps that ask for my life story, getting pop-ups that say “YOU’VE WON AN iPHONE!!!”
Now? It’s like having a personal assistant who also speaks 47 languages and doesn’t ask for vacation days.
And for work?
We had to write a post: “10 Seaside Towns Where You Can Buy a House for Under $100K.”
Used to take me 2 days. Digging through Zillow. Cross-referencing school districts. Crying over property tax rates.
Now?
“Give me 10 U.S. coastal towns with median home prices under $100K. Include walkability score, school rating, and if they have a decent coffee shop. Avoid places where the only restaurant is a gas station.”
Done. In 90 seconds.
I added a joke about “bring your own toilet paper” in one town. ChatGPT didn’t write that part. That was me. (It’s the human touch. Don’t skip it. People like funny. Robots don’t do funny unless you force them.)
But I know why you’re here.
You don’t care about my kid’s math trauma or my undying love for iced coffee that costs more than my will to live on Mondays.
You want to know:
“How do I actually make money with this thing without becoming a ‘prompt engineer’ or whatever buzzword they’re using this week?”
So let’s get into it — no fluff, no “you must build a brand first,” no “wait 6 months for SEO to kick in.”
Just real, weird, kinda-dumb-but-it-works ways to get paid using ChatGPT… mostly on Facebook.
(And yes, I’m repeating some stuff from earlier — because humans repeat themselves when they’re excited. Get used to it.)
1. Run Facebook Pages for Local Businesses (Yes, Really — Even If You’ve Never Done It)
You don’t need to be a “social media manager.” You just need to ask ChatGPT:
“Write a fun Facebook post for a local pizza place promoting their ‘Two-for-Tuesday’ deal. Add an emoji and a call to action.”
Done.
Post it.
Repeat.
Charge $150/month per client.
Start with your cousin’s nail salon. Or your neighbor’s dog grooming van. Or your aunt’s “artisan candle” Etsy shop that smells like regret and lavender.
They don’t care if it’s AI. They care that their page stops looking like a ghost town from 2017.

2. Sell Custom GPTs on Facebook Marketplace (Yes, People Actually Buy These)
I didn’t believe it either.
Until I saw someone selling a “Real Estate Listing Description GPT” for $47 in a “Digital Nomads” group.
So I made one for Etsy sellers.
“Custom GPT that writes product titles + descriptions in your brand voice. Just paste your product — it does the rest.”
Listed it in a “Etsy Sellers Support Group” Facebook group.
Sold 3 in 2 days.
You don’t need to code. You just need to know how to copy-paste a prompt and save it as a “Custom GPT” in ChatGPT Plus (which costs $20/month — worth it if you’re doing this even semi-seriously).

Prompts to Sell It Like You Know What You’re Doing (Even If You Don’t):
“Write a Facebook post introducing my ‘Pinterest Pin Generator GPT’ — turns your product into 5 scroll-stopping pin descriptions in seconds. Perfect for busy shop owners.”
“Create a post offering a free demo of my ‘Email Newsletter GPT’ — perfect for coaches who hate writing but need to stay in touch with clients.”
“Write a limited-time offer: First 10 buyers get my ‘Social Media Caption GPT’ for $19 (normally $49). Offer ends Friday!”
—
3. Content Writing (But the Lazy, AI-Assisted Way)
You don’t need to “be a writer.”
You just need to be the person who delivers the writing.
Client says: “I need a 1,000-word blog on ‘Best Yoga Mats for Beginners.’”
You paste into ChatGPT:
“Write a 1,000-word blog titled ‘Best Yoga Mats for Beginners in 2024.’ Include pros/cons, price ranges, and a buyer’s guide. Write in a friendly, non-salesy tone. Add a joke about downward dog.”
It spits it out.
You add a sentence like, “I’ve personally tested #3 — it doesn’t slip even when you’re sweating like you’re in a sauna… which, let’s be real, you probably are.”
← That’s your “human edit.” That’s what makes it feel like a person wrote it. Not a robot trained on 10,000 Medium articles.
Send it. Get paid.
Charge $50/post. Do 4 a week. That’s $800/month. In sweatpants. While watching The Office for the 7th time.

⚠️ Important: Always edit. ChatGPT writes like a robot who read too many blogs and drank too much corporate jargon. Add slang. Add personality. Add your weird inside joke about your cat. That’s what makes it feel human. That’s what makes clients come back.

4. Sell Meal Plans to Moms Who Are “So Done” (This One Prints Money)
I made a $7 “No-Cook Summer Meal Plan” for busy moms.
Used ChatGPT:
“Create a 5-day meal plan for a family of 4. No cooking required. Only microwave/fridge items. Include snacks. Keep cost under $60. Add a grocery list.”
Then I made a cute graphic in Canva (took 10 mins).
Posted in a “Busy Moms Who Hate Cooking” Facebook group:
“Raise your hand if you’re tired of hearing ‘What’s for dinner?’ 👋
I made a 5-day no-cook meal plan. $7. Grocery list included.
DM me. I’ll Venmo you the PDF.”
Sold 22 in 3 days.
One mom replied: “My husband cried when he saw we weren’t having cereal for dinner again.”
That’s the kind of review you can’t buy.
—
Prompts That Print Cash:
“Create a 7-day keto meal plan for beginners. Include a printable grocery list. Assume they have zero time.”
“Write a ‘Picky Eater Toddler’ meal plan. 3 meals + 2 snacks per day. All under 20 mins. Bonus points if it includes nuggets.”
“Generate a budget meal plan for college students with only a microwave. Assume they’re broke and tired.”
—
5. Run a Trivia Group (And Charge for VIP Access — Yes, People Pay for This)
I started a “90s Nostalgia Trivia Night” in a Facebook group.
Used ChatGPT:
“Give me 10 multiple-choice trivia questions about 90s TV shows. Include the correct answer and a fun fact. Make one about ‘Saved by the Bell.’”
Posted every Friday at 8 PM.
After 3 weeks? I added:
“VIP Members ($5/month) get early access + bonus rounds + printable trivia packs + my undying gratitude.”
18 people signed up.
Now I spend 10 minutes a week generating questions… and make $90/month while watching TGIF reruns and eating gummy worms.
—
Try These Prompts:
“Generate 5 ‘Harry Potter’ trivia questions. Medium difficulty. Include funny wrong answers like ‘Hermione’s middle name is Danger’.”

—
6. Weekly Kids Activity Planners (Moms Will Literally Throw Money at You)
Used ChatGPT:
“Create a 7-day activity schedule for kids ages 3–6. Include crafts, outdoor play, quiet time, and zero screen time. Make it printable. Assume the parent is exhausted.”
Made it cute in Canva. Added checkboxes. Threw in a “Mom Survival Tip” section (“hide chocolate in the sock drawer”).
Posted in a “Montessori Moms Trying to Survive” group:
“Stop Googling ‘rainy day activities.’ I made a done-for-you weekly planner. $5. Instant download. Comes with a virtual hug.”
Sold 41.
One mom DM’d me: “You saved my sanity. My kid hasn’t asked to watch CoComelon in 3 days.”
I replied: “You’re welcome. Now go hide in the bathroom and eat that chocolate.”
—
7. Write Poems for People Who Are Bad at Feelings (Seriously — This Is a Thing)

Yes. People pay for this.
“Write a funny retirement poem for my dad. He loves golf, hates socks, and always burns the BBQ.”
ChatGPT delivers.
You paste it into a cute Canva template with flowers or golf clubs or whatever.
Sell it for $15.
I’ve written:
- Anniversary poems (one guy said his wife cried — mission accomplished)
- “Sorry I forgot your birthday” poems (added “I’ll make it up to you with tacos” — client loved it)
- “Welcome to the world, baby!” poems (one included “please sleep through the night, kthx”)
- Even a “Get Well Soon” poem for a dog named Sir Barksalot (yes, that was his real name)
People cry. You get paid. Everyone wins.
—
8. Personalized Budget Planners (For People Who Swear They’re “Bad With Money” — They’re Not, They Just Need You)
ChatGPT Prompt:
“Create a simple monthly budget for someone making $3,200/month. They want to save $300, pay off $100 in debt, and still eat out twice a week. Make it look friendly, not scary.”
Make it pretty in Canva. Add checkboxes. Maybe a “Treat Yo Self” category.
Sell it in “Debt Free Journey” Facebook groups.
“Stop feeling guilty. This budget actually works for real life. $8. Comes with a pep talk.”
One woman told me: “I saved $200 last month. I’ve never done that before.”
I replied: “You’re a rockstar. Now go buy yourself something nice. You earned it.”
—
Oh and By the Way — You Can Also…
- Sell custom prompts (yes, people will pay $5 for “the exact prompt I used to write my viral Facebook post”)
- Offer translation services (got a photo of a menu in Thai? Drag it into ChatGPT. Boom. English. Charge $20.)
- Create kids’ birthday scavenger hunts (“Write a pirate-themed scavenger hunt for 6-year-olds. Clues should rhyme and lead to the backyard.”)
- Write personal bios for dating apps (“Make me sound fun but not desperate. I like hiking, tacos, and true crime podcasts.”)
The list goes on.
You’re not selling AI.
You’re selling time, peace of mind, and convenience.
And guess what? People will pay for that. Especially if they’re tired. Or busy. Or just really hate doing things themselves.
Final Thought (That I’ll Probably Repeat Because I’m Human and Humans Repeat Themselves)?
You don’t need to be an expert.
You don’t need a website.
You don’t need a following.
You don’t even need to know what “CTR” stands for. (Click-through rate. Now you know. You’re welcome.)
You just need:
✅ ChatGPT
✅ A Facebook account (even the one you made in 2012 and forgot the password to)
✅ The willingness to post something weird and see what happens
That’s it.
I’m not a marketer. I’m not a tech person. I’m just someone who got tired of trading hours for dollars… and found a way to let AI do the heavy lifting while I nap, snack, or stare blankly at the wall.
And if I can do it?
You can too.
Probably better. Because you’re reading this. Which means you’re already ahead.
