Directly inspired by @jacksonfall and his #HustleGPT movement, for the past few days I’ve tasked AI (GPT 3 and 4, MidJourney, and more) with creating a way of earning money from an initial injection of $100*

And, wow, I am impressed.

/Thread 🧵👇

After using @jacksonfall’s very helpful exact opening prompt, we began exploring business routes - the easiest one being affiliate marketing.

We asked GPT what the most popular, wide-reaching topics would be to focus on, and returned ‘health’ and ‘nutrition’. Nice! 🍎⛹️

Settling on an affiliate marketing platform based on fitness and nutrition sub-niches, GPT then gave me step-by-step guidance on setting up an Amazon Associate account and Wix steps for creating the website.

At any point I could expand on anything I faced difficulty with.

It took a bit of trial and error to settle on a catchy domain, but GPT nailed it after three attempts: FitLifeForge was born.

A neat little twist, the AI was also able to point me to the cheapest domain registry website available: @Namecheap - which I used to purchase fitlifeforge.com for $14.15 (two years!)

I then tasked GPT with creating the MidJourney prompt for our initial logo ideas - this was definitely hit and miss, as each @midjourney generation can be wildly different from the next.

But we had a nice rough baseline!

And by rough, I mean really rough 💀 I used a bit of creative freedom to simplify the logo a bit, but keeping the core of it the same - bold, defined, and a clear separated element above the text.

I spun this up - still work to do on text version, but foundation is there.

For the @Wix website foundation itself, GPT provided some helpful SEO words/ values:

After some refining it was also able to generate a 5-word tagline for fitlifeforge.com using the keywords ‘forge’, ‘fit’, and ‘life’.

I went with ‘Forging a Fit Life Journey’.

Oh, and that lady in the background? Generated by @midjourney - bumped down the opacity a bit for a vibrant entrance picture to our new website. Not bad!

In fact, all the photos on the fitlifeforge.com website are AI generated (excluding some stock placeholders by Wix, to be replaced soon!)

Check some of them out 👇

A little math hiccup that needed correcting gave us our new balance of $85.85 (funny, I think @jacksonfall also had an early math mishap too?) which helped us focus our next expense - Wix Premium Plans (😒)

But just before that, onto twitter!

I snapped up @FitLifeForge and tasked GPT with tweets, picture/media suggestions, bio ideas, and more. It nailed these, and consistently does so.

Looking good!

Back to our website…

So, I screwed up a little - getting a better value long term than just a month subscription, I overspent heavily on the Wix sub.*

I broke the news to GPT, and it worked out our current mess.

Over budget by $18.77. Not great.

But with that firmly covered, we could now fully focus on the website content for the long-term. I tasked GPT with pumping out high quality, specific articles - a balance between clickable (clickbait, virality, whatever!) and informative.

Here’s where GPT excels insanely.

It would consistently pump out great headline ideas, followed by great content for those headlines (with tailored prompt guidance), and then specific affiliate products useful for that specific article. Really useful stuff.

It could also provide hyper-specific sourcing and referencing to any particular points provided (useful and important when writing about health and nutrition) - here’s just one example of an output provided alongside an entire article textbase:

I then tested out one of the article outputs as a live (first) article on fitlifeforge.com - and it looked great!

It required manual work sourcing, attaching and making relevant affiliate products from Amazon, but the main bulk of time was saved from writing the article.

Important to note: I’m using my real-life experience with journalism and media to monitor the output of these articles before publishing.

Alongside a clear legal disclaimer on the site, and stressing that AI is not fool-proof and should not replace practitioner/nutritionist

…guidance, I’m ensuring everything is actually vetted and not just a rambling of AI waffle.

Also applying some journalistic tweaks to article output to make things more readable and legible for wider audiences. Minor tweaks.

Some more SEO optimized tags, and were more or less caught up to date on FitLifeForge!
