I use ChatGPT to make 100,000 yuan a month

If the hottest Internet technology product in 2021 is Clubhouse, and the hottest one in 2022 is Metaverse, then the hottest product in 2023 must be ChatGPT.

ChatGPT is a natural language processing tool driven by artificial intelligence technology. It can conduct conversations by learning and understanding human language, and can also interact based on the context of the chat, truly chatting and communicating like humans, and can even complete complex operations such as writing articles. It can be said that ChatGPT has refreshed people's understanding of AI.

With the popularity of ChatGPT, many major domestic Internet companies have begun to develop similar products. Recently, there are reports that Baidu plans to launch a ChatGPT-like tool called "Wenxin Yiyan", and Alibaba is also developing related products.

Not only Internet giants, but also many people with a keen sense of smell have begun to regard ChatGPT as a tool to make money, and have created many different ways to make money around ChatGPT, such as selling and renting ChatGPT accounts, writing online novels, developing automatic chat mini-programs, and self-media creation. Taking advantage of the popularity of ChatGPT, they have already made a lot of money.

Use ChatGPT to write online articles and make money by ghostwriting for your peers

He Wei, online fiction writer

It was also by coincidence that I tried to use ChatGPT to write online articles and make money.

I am an online writer. Writing online articles is actually a very boring process, because the online articles written nowadays are basically templates. For example, we write fantasy novels, in which a protagonist travels through time and space and is reborn as a loser. After a series of monster-killing and leveling up, he becomes a supreme character, and finally the story ends with a happy ending. This kind of cool writing can win users' praise and coins.

Therefore, writing online articles has its fixed templates and routines, but writing online articles is also a torment for authors. After all, they have to keep updating the content every day, and they also have to keep thinking. More importantly, it takes a lot of time to update a chapter of several thousand words or even tens of thousands of words every day. Many authors give up halfway. For those who are new to the industry, writing online articles is a torment. Fortunately, this situation has changed because of the emergence of ChatGPT.

Last December, when I heard about a tool called ChatGPT that can automatically answer questions, I was very shocked. I heard from friends who have used it that ChatGPT can be used to write a short article for you in a complete or modular way. So I rented a ChatGPT account on Taobao and tried it on the official website. It turned out that I could write a short scene structure and ask a few more questions about ideas to put together a complete chapter, which greatly liberated my brainpower, energy, and time. It was also because of this attempt that I came up with the idea of ​​using ChatGPT to write online articles for others.

At that time, most of my friends in the industry did not realize that this thing could be used to write online articles, so I posted information about ghostwriting in the group of colleagues in the same industry. The price was slightly lower than that of my peers, and the standard was 50 yuan per thousand words. They only needed to provide a general idea and I would continue writing. In a short while, many people added me, and I currently have cooperating authors.

In order to avoid duplication, I would also modify the text written by ChatGPT to conform to the basic logic of their respective online writing frameworks. Anyway, no disputes have arisen so far. At that time, I made about 2,000 yuan a week, and so far I have made more than 10,000 yuan.

I see that ChatGPT has been very popular these days. I estimate that there will be many people like me who use ChatGPT to ghostwrite online articles. It will probably be more difficult to continue making money in the future.

Selling and renting ChatGPT accounts, earning 100,000 yuan a month

Li Ya, Internet freedom practitioner

I should be one of the first people in China to know about ChatGPT. After I heard that ChatGPT became popular, people like us who have the resources of the code receiving platform have a great advantage. Because ChatGPT accounts cannot be registered with domestic mobile phone numbers, relying on the code receiving platform that has overseas mobile phone numbers to send verification codes, you can easily use overseas mobile phone numbers to register ChatGPT accounts.

At present, we have two business chains in progress. The first is that we will open a ChatGPT account registration service on Taobao or Xianyu. This is actually to provide buyers with verification codes of overseas mobile phone numbers and let them register their own accounts. In addition, we will also sell or rent some registered ChatGPT accounts, with prices ranging from 1 to 20 yuan. The difference in price mainly comes from the different packages included in the product. For example, we will add cutting-edge technology tutorials such as Metaverse and AI Painting to the package and sell them together with the ChatGPT account, so the price will be higher.

We started buying and selling accounts at the end of December last year. With the popularity of ChatGPT, we sold it on Taobao, Xianyu, Pinduoduo and other channels. The sales volume of accounts reached tens of thousands a month. After deducting the cost, we made 100,000 yuan in January.

However, the overseas mobile phone number resources on the code receiving platform are limited, and most of them are for the sake of experiencing a sense of novelty. The "shelf life" of this sense of novelty is too short. In order to prevent these accounts from being wasted in their hands, we will provide account recycling services. For example, if a buyer buys an account for two yuan and does not want it after use, we can recycle it at 1/3 of the original price, and then sell the recycled number to others.

Another business chain is to sell some value-added services attached to ChatGPT. For example, VPN and ChatGPT tutorials will be posted in the store for sale. After all, the ChatGPT platform needs to be used on the external network and cannot be separated from these auxiliary tools.

At the same time, in order to expand the business, we are also recruiting agents. Let them sell in some WeChat groups and QQ groups, so that more people can know ChatGPT and use their novelty to sell goods. This idea is still in the planning stage.

In short, before related products similar to ChatGPT are made in China, the business of buying and selling ChatGPT accounts will not stop so quickly. After all, just like the Metaverse before, the popularity will continue, and there will still be some people who are interested in cutting-edge technology and want to experience it.

Develop a ChatGPT-like function applet, providing automatic Q&A + chat package

Chen Qingsong, a programmer at a large Internet company

In the past three years, the Internet winter has made us feel the difficulty of making money and keeping jobs, so we have to do side jobs and seek new income. I am a person who likes to toss, so whenever there is a new technology, I will follow the hot spots to see if I can make money from it.

For example, in 2021, after Clubhouse suddenly became popular, my friends and I partnered up to make a Clubhouse-like product, but later gave up halfway. In 2022, the Metaverse also became popular, so my friends and I thought about making a digital collection. At that time, many people in China were willing to buy digital products, so I and a few friends built a small platform for digital collections on WeChat to sell some artworks.

The good times didn’t last long. Later, because WeChat banned the launch of digital product mini-programs, we turned to building a web-based digital product platform. However, after leaving WeChat, the web-based platform did not take off. In addition, more and more digital collection platforms appeared, and the track was too crowded. In the end, this side business ended in failure. But during this period, we also made more than 200,000 yuan, and each person got about 10,000 yuan. I also tasted the sweetness of it, so after ChatGPT became popular this year, I still wanted to try new projects.

In January, my friend and I made an automatic question-and-answer + chat app similar to ChatGPT on WeChat, providing automatic chat services for users who cannot bypass the firewall and register a ChatGPT account. The usage rate is quite high. It is not difficult to build such a small program. Get the API Key of OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, and then download the open source source code and develop it in Chinese, and you can make an automatic chat app with similar functions to ChatGPT.

In order to realize the monetization, we also conducted research and found that some peers were imitating the VPN line charging method, such as adding line charging to the automatic chat applet embedded with ChatGPT. In the end, this solution was used by us. Therefore, under ordinary lines, ChatGPT's answer speed is relatively slow because it uses a proxy server, which is unstable. In the paid mode, you can get faster answers. In addition, there is a 1-hour chat package, which costs 5 yuan. Many people have purchased it. My backend shows that 400 people have purchased it within a week.

However, the WeChat platform has recently begun to strictly regulate the ChatGPT mini-program. We are considering turning this business model and platform into a website or promoting it overseas.

Use ChatGPT to take advantage of Q&A communities and content creation platforms and make thousands of dollars a day

He Yunhai, Internet Earning Expert

When I heard that ChatGPT is a tool that can answer any question, I was very surprised, and I also realized that such a powerful tool can definitely be used to make money.

Combining my experience of making money online, I thought that I could use ChatGPT to take advantage of Q&A communities and content creation platforms. Because ChatGPT is essentially a tool for answering questions. I use ChatGPT to answer questions on Baidu Q&A, Toutiao Q&A and other platforms. After ChatGPT gives the answers, I just need to copy and paste them to these domestic Q&A platforms, which greatly improves efficiency.

I have worked on Baidu Q&A before. If I really had to answer questions by myself, it would be time-consuming and laborious. With ChatGPT, the efficiency has increased several times, and the key is that the answer can convince the questioner. The increase in efficiency also means that the amount of questions answered will increase, which naturally increases income. During this period, I have been on these Q&A platforms every day, using ChatGPT to answer questions.

In addition to answering questions, ChatGPT can also be used for self-media creation. Before, I used a plagiarism website to clean up the original works, but the effect was not satisfactory. It only changed the order of words and sentences in other people's original works. If such a plagiarized manuscript is posted on the platform, it is easy to be identified as plagiarism and infringement and be offline.

The above problems will not occur when ChatGPT creates new articles by asking questions. Since my questions are different, the articles created by ChatGPT are also different, so there will be no duplication of articles, which can ensure the originality of the articles. The platform pays the most attention to originality. Original articles can get the platform's recommended exposure, and the increase in the number of readings can increase my own creative income.

At present, I have opened several accounts to do Q&A and content creation, and the highest daily income is more than 1,000 yuan. But in the future, there may not be so much, because many of my peers have begun to use ChatGPT to take on platform Q&A and content creation work. Next, I should think carefully about whether ChatGPT can have other profitable areas, take advantage of the information gap, and make money first.
