I spent 18 months breaking ChatGPT 100 different ways.

Vague prompts. Bad tone. Zero traction. But after all that trial and error, I found a formula.

Here are 7 ChatGPT hacks that unlocked real leverage & saved me hundreds of hours. I won't waste your time: 1. Use it like a strategist, not a search engine.

Stop asking it for facts. Ask it for angles, systems, frameworks. You want leverage, not just answers.

Instead of “what are good business ideas?”

Try:

Every few months I check in on this incredible Reddit thread.

Below are my 9 favorite answers of boring and unique businesses that print money: Providing washers and dryers to apartments for "free."

They get paid by keeping all the quarters.

He shut down his business and started flipping garage sale items just to make rent.

Then discovered a crazy simple biz: Directory websites

In 2 years, he turned it into a portfolio of 6 sites with 90k+ monthly visitors.

Here’s exactly how: 1. He was broke and had to get creative so he started Googling things like “passive income” (we've all been there)

Then he came across the idea of niche directories.

Meanwhile on TikTok people were posting thrift hauls and getting millions of views.

All the comments were:

Most people will die without ever discovering the thing they were best at.

Why? Because they never tested enough.

Here's a quick story that changed how I think about business, life, and potential.

I'll throw in a helpful spreadsheet template as well: In 2019, I started running after listening to David Goggins on Joe Rogan. I’m 6'3", 205 lbs.

I'm built like a wrestler, not a runner. And that’s exactly why I did it.

I was trying to avoid gaining weight again.

AI Image Generation just had its iPhone moment.

Many are laughing at it, just like they laughed at the iPhone in 2007.

But 3 days ago, OpenAI launched a new Image Generation API, and it'll change everything.

Here are the biggest opportunities I see: When ChatGPT first added images, it was fun but useless.

Cool demos. Not good enough for real businesses.

That changed 3 days ago. The new API is fast, CHEAP, accurate, and usable.

It just crossed from "toy" to "tool." And the biggest opportunity I see?

You don’t need to code. You need to sell.

My buddy built a custom app for an auto mechanic with AI. It took 30 minutes.

No coding. No templates. Just a prompt. Then he charged $50/month.

He’s doing this over and over. Here’s how: You've heard of vibe coding. Well, this is it.

Talk to an AI tool like Replit, Cursor, or V0…

And it builds the app for you.

You don’t even need to know what a “stack” is. You just need to know what problem you’re solving, and who will pay for it.

How to get an influencer to promote your product… without asking.

1. Use their name.
2. Build the product.
3. Sell it.
4. Venmo them 10%.

No email. No contract. No permission. Playbook below: 1/ Let’s say you create a digital product, a $29 eBook. Build it with ChatGPT and a few Bromozi YouTube video transcripts

“How to Get Shredded in 30 Days”

You slap this on the cover: "Based on the methods of Alex Hormozi"

You never say he wrote it. You’re just giving credit.

Why aren't you doing this yet?

1. Use Zillow's API to scrape all homes that have been listed for 12+ months.

2. Use OpenAI's API to display them with fresh paint.

3. Send the pic to the homeowner or agent with a price.

4. Sell the leads to a painting co, or start one yourself.

5. OR, start an agency that does this for home service businesses in any niche.

Landscaping, pools, roofing, tree trimming etc etc etc.

Why does this work? It removes friction and the need to think. Don't force your prospects to be creative or think.

Show them what THEIR personalized final product looks like. Perfect personalization.

Show an overweight person exactly what they'd look like skinny. Before and after photos are already insanely effective, how effective would this be?

This stuff wasn't easily accessible 1 month ago. The game is changed. Below are some more ideas.

"If you wait until after the storm, you've waited too long. Get your trees trimmed today, resident of 1234 Maple Dr."

People are flipping $5K into $50K by doing something you’ve never even considered.

They’re not building apps, trading stocks or selling courses.

They’re buying liquidated inventory for pennies and reselling it. Here’s the full, specific, 12-step playbook: 1/ A pallet of inventory was listed for $13,000.

Its retail value? $1.8 million.

Let’s be real: Retail prices lie.

So assume it’s worth a quarter of that.

Still: $450K of stuff… for $13K. And this kind of deal happens every week.

We STILL have a 60% chance of a recession and people are panicking. But buried inside that panic?

6 ideas to thrive during the chaos.

Here’s what I’d be doing right now: → Starbucks grew in the ‘80s recession
→ Airbnb launched in ‘08
→ Microsoft was born in stagflation
You want safe? Go to cash.

You want upside? Read on.

Most people are swinging at billion-dollar ideas. Sigh.

Here’s why that’s killing their momentum, and the smarter way to print cash in 2025: You don’t need a VC check, a 10-person team, or a 50-page pitch deck. You need:

$50 in ad spend
A Stripe account
1 simple idea

And 6 months of focus.

Learning Facebook ads changed my life. You can launch a profitable FB ad in 20 minutes.

No agency. No course. No upsell or $2,000 funnel.

Just your phone, a few rules and some common sense.

Here’s the crash course I wish someone gave me years ago: 1. Know the anatomy. Facebook ads have 3 layers:

1. Campaign = the goal
2. Ad Set = the audience, schedule, and budget
3. Ad = the image and copy

Most people only focus on the ad. That’s why they lose.

This guy quietly built a $337k/year business by renting out a single product for $375. Over and over and over.

He now owns 15 of them.

No paid ads. No fancy software. Just grit, repeat customers, and word of mouth.

It all started with a bar fire. Here’s the full story: 1/ In 2013, two brothers launched a bar in Charleston. A few months in, wedding planners started asking if they could bring their bar setup to events.

They said yes. (say yes to everything)

Then caterers started venting about terrible rental equipment.

That gave them an idea.

How to outsource 80% of your emails for $49/month:

The 80/20 rule is alive and well in your inbox. Let's harness it by doing these 2 simple things:

1. Categorize your emails into 5 buckets. For me, this looks like: - Where is the lead magnet you promised? (I use the prompt below for this)
- How can I invest in an RV park?
- Can I pick your brain?
- A direct report needs something.
- Highly custom or personal

Then use a drag & drop AI automation agent to set up 4 flows to handle...

The most simple & genius thing I've heard all month:

I just talked to a business owner that finds millions of dollars worth of customers with 1 simple hack.

Not digital ads, direct mail or door to door sales.

All he does is buy the following: - Plastic bags
- Flyers
- A bag of rocks from Home Depot
- A stapler

He hires high schoolers to assemble them all in his basement.

He drives out to the golf course communities in the suburbs. And then...

I promise I'm not overhyping this:

You are 1,000% going to love this super random niche business I just heard about from a friend. You could copy this!

It all starts outside a ready-mix concrete plant in Utah, in a shack off the side of the road...(continued below) My friend K had a job at this little shack. What did he do? Shake stuff.

He'd shake a concrete form after a cement truck would drop leftover concrete into it.

Companies try to bring more concrete than they think they need to jobs, to be sure they don't run out. But then...

I converted an inbound cold call into a $10m business.

Below is:

1. How I did it
2. What i learned
3. What you can copy from this: 👇 At 23 I was managing an iPhone repair shop.

Sexy, right? Heh.

I started it as a college senior & quickly grew it to 4 stores, but I hated my life. Why?

Retail is tough, and hard to scale, and I'm not great at operations (but I didn't know it yet).

If I lost everything & only kept my knowledge, here’s how I’d make a 6 figure business in 2025.

I've done this exact thing twice.

Here’s a step by step detailed breakdown of exactly how I’d do it again: What are we starting? A tree trimming business.

Assume I only have a credit card w/ a $10k limit

I’d buy this:

- Used truck — $8k
- Laptop & phone — $1k
- Domain — Namecheap- $9
- Site — Carrd — $6

Listen up! This will be one of the biggest opportunities of 2025.

AI will cause the price of software to go close to $0.

Anyone disagree? Cool, moving on.

Here's exactly how to profit from this: Why pay $5k/month for Hubspot when other CRMs are 95% cheaper? Unlimited contacts!

Why pay $2k/month for Zapier when alternatives are $200/month?

People will continue to pay because switching is expensive and annoying. They need your help.

So do this:

How'd you like a business where you can spend $1,600 once and make $1,600 in profit every month?

Last week I spent the day at one of these businesses and learned all I could from the owner.
