0:00It's a Thursday night, and you're
0:01scrolling how I made $5,000 a month with
0:03ChatGPT videos. There's 20 of them on
0:06your page right now. Course sellers are
0:08selling Lambo thumbnails with
0:09unverifiable Twitter screenshots.
0:11[music]
0:11You're probably thinking, "Show me a
0:13public Gumroad page. Show me one real
0:15working adult with a number you can pull
0:17up on your phone right now." And that's
0:18exactly what this video is. Five real
0:20ways to make money with ChatGPT in 2026.
0:23Every one of them has a public number or
0:26a public category I can point you to.
0:28There are five ways I'll walk you
0:30through. They start at just $17. For
0:32four out of five, you can have your
0:34first real dollar in the door within 30
0:36days. And number two is the one to
0:38actually start with this weekend. If you
0:39came here for a Twitter screenshot of a
0:41guy holding a Lambo key, you can close
0:43this tab. You won't see Twitter
0:45screenshots or Lambos in this video.
0:47Every number in this video is on a page
0:49you can pull up on your phone right now.
0:51Public Gumroad sales counters and public
0:53Fiverr order counts. And yeah, I know.
0:55I'm about to spend this whole video
0:57telling you the AI you've been using for
0:59free is actually how you can make money
1:00with it. But, hang on for a second
1:02because the working adult in front of
1:04the screen has been using ChatGPT at
1:06work for free for the past year. What
1:09matters isn't the tool. The tool is the
1:10same everybody has. What matters is what
1:13you do with the prompts you already
1:14typed in 20 times this month at your day
1:17job. Way number one is build a list of
1:19custom GPTs on the GPT store. It needs
1:22to be niche specific, though. It needs
1:24to solve a recurring task that a
1:26specific category of users perform every
1:28week. For example, a marketplace listing
1:30optimizer for print-on-demand sellers or
1:33a risk [music] snapshot drafter for
1:35insurance underwriters or even a shift
1:37handout note template for ICU nurses.
1:39Pick one category, build the GPTs, and
1:42that's it. And take a look at this.
1:44That's the public GPT store right now.
1:46chat.openai.com/gpt.
1:48>> [music]
1:48>> The top builder list is publicly
1:51available. Here are a few categories
1:53with proven traction. Writing
1:55assistants, coding helpers, and niche
1:57analysts. And pull up Gilmore. It's the
2:00top creative coding GPT on the public
2:02store right now. They're a real working
2:04builder with a real listing you can pull
2:06up on your phone tonight. And here the
2:08numbers for method one. OpenAI launched
2:11a revenue sharing program for top GPTs
2:13in 2024. OpenAI bases payouts on usage.
2:17The top-tier builders on the store earn
2:18between $500 and $7,000 per month
2:21through that program. You can pull up
2:23the actual numbers. Creators have
2:25discussed them on Reddit and OpenAI
2:27shared them at its Dev Day back in 2024.
2:30The biggest drawback is that most custom
2:32GPTs make zero from the revenue share
2:34program. The pay only kicks in if you're
2:36in the top 1% of the store. The best way
2:39to use the custom GPT store is to build
2:41a custom GPT to drive traffic to an
2:44owned product. The GPT is the lead
2:46magnet. The Gumroad listing is the
2:48income. If the revenue share triggers,
2:50that's a bonus. The Gumroad listing is
2:53what you build the math on. And here's a
2:55quick check before we go further. And
2:57what's the ChatGPT prompt you've already
2:58typed in 20 times this month at your day
3:00job? Drop it in the comments. It could
3:02be one word, one sentence, or the prompt
3:04you keep copying out of the same
3:06conversation because it works and you
3:08don't want to rebuild it. I read every
3:09one of these and they tell me what video
3:11to make next. But hold on for a second.
3:14It was December 26, 2022, the day after
3:16Christmas. I uploaded a video called I
3:19tried to earn $7 every 60 seconds. I've
3:22been making make money online tutorials
3:24for a year and pulling just 50 views a
3:26video. But this one was different. I
3:28tested a method that didn't work and I
3:30said so on camera. That single video has
3:33done 1.2 million views. It has brought
3:36in over 30,000 subscribers and paid out
3:38around $21,000 in AdSense revenue. The
3:42part that matters for tonight is 9.4
3:44million impressions, 9.9 click-through
3:47rate, and 72.7% of the views came from
3:50people searching make money online.
3:52That's called search intent. People
3:54typing what they want. The exact same
3:56setup as someone typing chat GPT prompt
3:58pack for real estate agents in Gumroad.
4:01Find where people enter their problem
4:02and show up there. Three things you're
4:04already thinking. You're thinking I'm
4:06not a developer. This doesn't apply to
4:08me. Or I don't have an audience to sell
4:10to. Or everyone is already using chat
4:13GPT already and I'm too late. You've
4:14heard those reasons in your head
4:16hundreds of times. Each one of those is
4:18real. I'm not going to tell you they're
4:19wrong. They're the reason every other
4:21five ways to make money with chat GPT
4:23video didn't land the way you needed it
4:25to. The three things they're missing is
4:27the prompts you've been typing in at
4:28work over the past year are the asset.
4:31The prompts you've refined at your day
4:33job, the way you've learned to coax it
4:35into formatting the kind of thing your
4:36industry needs, the workarounds you
4:38found when it kept giving you the wrong
4:40answer, that's the asset. The skill you
4:42stopped seeing as a skill is the one.
4:44That's the one you should be selling.
4:46Next Thursday, if you don't act on one
4:48of these methods, you'll spend another
4:50night opening how I made 5K with chat
4:52GPT videos and closing them at 9:47
4:55having learned absolutely nothing.
4:57You'll spend another quarter telling
4:58yourself you're too late to AI. You'll
5:00spend another year using chat GPT every
5:02day at work for free and watching
5:04strangers on Gumroad charge $20 for
5:06prompt packs you already have on your
5:08laptop. Method number two and the one
5:10I'd start this weekend. Sell a prompt
5:12pack on Gumroad and charge between 9 and
5:14$17. The already prompts you use on chat
5:17GPT for your day job. And here's what
5:19you're going to do. You open your chat
5:21GPT history right now and scroll. You're
5:23looking for the prompts you've reused.
5:25The ones you've copied into three
5:27different conversations because they
5:28kept working. For example, the email
5:31draft prompt, the meeting summary
5:32prompt, or even the spreadsheet cleanup
5:34prompt. The thing you've typed in 20
5:36times. Strip the company specific names.
5:39Strip the internal codes, but keep the
5:41universal framework. Bundle 10 or 15 of
5:44them into a PDF. Title the listing with
5:46the problem they're searching for. For
5:48example, prompt pack for real estate
5:49agents or 12 chat GPT prompts for
5:52listing descriptions in your voice.
5:54Here's a real example. Riley Brown sells
5:56an AI prompt pack on Gumroad. Go to
5:58riley.gumroad.com.
6:00You can pull it up on your phone. There
6:01is a live sales counter on his listing.
6:04Riley is a real working creator with a
6:06real public number. The numbers run like
6:08this. $17 * 30 sales a month is $510.
6:13200 sales a month is $3,400. You earn
6:16more when you create more prompt packs.
6:18But here's the biggest drawback. Gumroad
6:20does not have a built-in search the way
6:22other marketplaces do. You'll need to go
6:24where your buyers are already hanging
6:26out. That could be on TikTok, LinkedIn,
6:28or a forum for your niche. And to make
6:30sales, do this. Show up consistently,
6:32answer questions, and solve problems.
6:34After people have seen you help them
6:35three or four times, they'll buy it from
6:37you. And after that, you email the list
6:39and they keep coming back. It's a real
6:41trade-off, but owning the customer is
6:43worth it. Way three is next. While I
6:46walk you through it, the worksheet I'm
6:47building with you tonight is at
6:48notes.platformproof.com.
6:50Drop your email if you want it sent over
6:52while we keep going. The same email
6:54opens every other worksheet for this
6:56channel, too. And hold on a second.
6:58Before that $21,000 video, the first
7:00time I'd ever made real money online was
7:02$130 in about 12 hours. I just watched a
7:05Franklin Hatchett video about answering
7:07questions on Quora with a Bluehost
7:09affiliate link. I answered seven
7:11questions about people wanting to start
7:12a website. But by launch, Quora had
7:14taken two of them down for violating
7:16their affiliate link policy. By the time
7:18I got home from work that evening, Quora
7:20had taken two more down. And two of
7:22those questions had triggered Bluehost
7:24commission emails. That's how I made
7:26$130 from a tool I'd already had open in
7:29another tab. This is the same idea. Find
7:31one task that one type of person does
7:33every week and build the tool for that.
7:35I was the same as you, probably sitting
7:38on a prompt list you already use at
7:39ChatGPT every day at work and not
7:41[music] seeing it as an asset. Notice
7:43what you already do. The skill is what
7:45you sell. Way number three, sell DALL-E
7:48image generation as a productized
7:49service.
7:50>> [music]
7:50>> ChatGPT Plus comes with DALL-E built
7:52right in. The image generation that
7:54small business owners, social media
7:55managers, real estate agents, and
7:57marketplace sellers pay between $25 and
7:59$75 per gig for right now on Fiverr. You
8:02can pull this page up for yourself. It's
8:04a public Fiverr DALL-E gig category.
8:06It's at
8:07fiverr.com/categories/graphics-design/ai-artist.
8:12The top seller has 1,400 completed
8:15orders at an average price of $40. You
8:17can package it as a service with a fixed
8:19price and a fixed turnaround time.
8:21That's what a product service is. It's a
8:23service sold like a product with the
8:25same product every time. Then pick the
8:27niche you'll sell it to. For example, I
8:29generate real estate listing photos for
8:31Phoenix area agents or I make product
8:33mock-up images for print-on-demand
8:35sellers. Niche gigs beat generic gigs
8:38every single time. And here's the math.
8:40Four gigs a week at an average of $40 is
8:43$640 a month part-time. 10 gigs a week
8:46is $1,600 a month. The drawback here is
8:48that some Fiverr DALL-E sellers compete
8:50on volume. They're willing to sell 50
8:52images for just $20. That becomes a race
8:55to the bottom. The working adult here
8:57competes on judgment plus niche, not on
8:59volume. The buyer who needs Phoenix real
9:01estate listing photos isn't looking for
9:0350 generic AI images. They're looking
9:05for a person who understands the
9:07listing. The card in the top right is
9:09the Claude AI version of this video.
9:11Five ways to make money with Claude AI
9:13in 2026. It's the same kind of breakdown
9:15with a different tool, a different lane,
9:17and five different [music] ways. Watch
9:18it when you finish this one. Seeing the
9:20same idea on a different tool helps you
9:22figure out which lane fits your skill
9:24stack better. Way number four is to sell
9:26ChatGPT voice mode as a productized note
9:29taker. Coaches, consultants, podcasters,
9:31small firm lawyers, and freelance
9:33journalists all have hours of recorded
9:35audio they need someone to transcribe
9:38and summarize. Right now, they're paying
9:40transcription services between 30 and
9:41$100 per reported hour, or they're doing
9:44it themselves poorly at midnight. You
9:46can sell a productized package including
9:48three deliverables per hour of audio. It
9:51can include a clean transcript, three
9:53key insights pulled from the audio, and
9:55a one-page summary. You could charge $50
9:58for every hour of audio you process. On
10:00the left is a manual transcription, 4
10:03hours per hour of audio. And on the
10:05right is ChatGPT voice mode, 15 minutes
10:08per hour of audio plus your judgment on
10:10the summary. You save the customer hours
10:12of work, and they keep coming back. Here
10:15are the numbers. 5 hours of audio a week
10:16at $50 an hour is $250 a week. That's
10:20$1,000 a month part-time. And the best
10:22part is you keep the client list, and
10:23you can repeat bill the same coaches
10:25[music]
10:26and lawyers every week. The drawback
10:28here is that ChatGPT voice mode has a
10:30usage cap on the plus tier. If you go
10:32above 10 hours of audio per week, you'll
10:34need to upgrade to the team tier at $25
10:36per month, or use the API directly. The
10:39math still works, just budget for the
10:41tool upgrade for more than 10 hours a
10:43week.
10:47If you wait, here's the cost. Every
10:48month you keep using ChatGPT at work for
10:50free, somebody on Gumroad ships the
10:52prompt pack you already have on your
10:54laptop and pockets the money you didn't
10:56make. The hardest part is accepting that
10:58the work you've already done counts.
10:59[music] You don't need developer skills,
11:01an audience, or even perfect timing.
11:03Riley Brown isn't a developer. He sells
11:05prompt packs on Gumroad. His sales
11:07counter is public. The 1,400 order
11:09Fiverr Dolly seller isn't a developer.
11:12They're a person who picked a niche and
11:13ran ChatGPT image generation as a
11:15productized service for a year. The
11:17gurus made ChatGPT income mean build an
11:20AI agent or launch a SaaS because
11:22[music] viewers click those videos
11:23first. Both are real, but both are also
11:26really hard. The play the working adult
11:28is missing is the one that doesn't
11:29require developer skills. It's the
11:31prompts already on your laptop packaged
11:34once listed on the right platform with
11:36one person who needs them seeing the
11:38page. Way number five is to sell a
11:40ChatGPT powered Etsy SEO service. You
11:43are not opening an Etsy shop and let me
11:45say that again, you're not opening an
11:47Etsy shop. You are selling a service to
11:50Etsy sellers. That seller is the client,
11:52ChatGPT is the tool, your service is the
11:55deliverable. And here's the part that
11:57ties back to Monday's video. Lawrence
11:59process showed you the marketplace owns
12:01the customer [music] list. This way
12:03flips that. You are not selling on the
12:04marketplace, you are selling to the
12:06sellers stuck inside it. It's the same
12:08insight just the opposite side of the
12:10table. Here's the gig, $50 for 10
12:13listings. You can include the title,
12:15description, and 13 tags for each
12:17optimized for the keyword that client
12:19tells you. You feed the client's keyword
12:21into ChatGPT with a structured prompt
12:23and then drafts 20 descriptions in an
12:25hour. ChatGPT drafts the descriptions,
12:27you edit them, and then ship them. Check
12:29the screen. That's the public Fiverr
12:31Etsy SEO page. It's at
12:32fiverr.com/categories/online-marketing/sim-services/etsy.
12:37[music]
12:39The top sellers there have over a
12:40thousand completed orders. Here are the
12:42numbers for this one. 10 clients a week
12:44at $50 [music] is $500 a week. That's
12:47$2,000 a month. You can scale it as you
12:50build a portfolio and repeat clients.
12:52The drawback here is the Fiverr category
12:54is saturated. The generic I do it gigs
12:56get ignored. You break in by niching. I
12:59do this for handmade jewelry sellers or
13:01for digital download sellers. Niche
13:03specific beats generic every time same
13:06as way number three. If you want the
13:08exact steps for the prompts you already
13:10use process, how to pick which prompts
13:12to package, how to ship them, and how to
13:14write the Gumroad listing so strangers
13:16searching the problem find it, that's
13:17all inside of Offer Engine. It's just
13:20$17 and it's the second link in the
13:22description. So, here's what to do next.
13:24It's not What learning ChatGPT, building
13:26an AI agent, or launching a SaaS? You
13:28already use the tool. Package the
13:31prompts you already typed 20 times this
13:33month at your day job. Strip the
13:35company-specific names, list the pack on
13:37Gumroad with the problem they're
13:38searching for in the title. Find where
13:40your customers are already hanging out,
13:42and that could be on Pinterest,
13:43Instagram, or even TikTok. Be helpful by
13:46answering questions and solving
13:47problems. That's it. That's the entire
13:49process. You don't need a course, or an
13:51audience, or to quit your day job. The
13:53answer to making money with chat GPT is
13:56a Gumroad listing and a prompt pack you
13:58already wrote at your work last
13:59Thursday. I know it sounds crazy, but
14:02the public Gumroad sales counters are
14:04real, and the public Fiverr order counts
14:06are real, and the math on way too is on
14:09the screen tonight. Now, you walked in
14:11scrolling how I made 5K with chat GPT
14:13videos at 9:47 p.m. You walk out with
14:16five ways, five public sources you can
14:19verify on your phone tonight, and one
14:20prompt list to package this weekend. You
14:23walk out knowing the AI you already been
14:25using is enough, that the skill is what
14:27you package, that you don't need to be a
14:29developer, have an audience, or a
14:32course. You walk out knowing the Twitter
14:34screenshot people are not the only
14:36people making money [music] with this
14:37tool. There are real working adults with
14:39public Gumroad pages and public Fiverr
14:41leaderboards are doing it without ever
14:44holding a Lambo key. Now, if you've made
14:46it this far, you are who I built the
14:47channel for. My goal with Platform Proof
14:50is to help 1 million working adults make
14:52their first $3,000 online with the
14:54skills they already have.
