In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the best ChatGPT businesses you can start to date.
If you’re looking for an exciting business opportunity that can help you make a name for yourself and bring in a steady stream of income, then starting a business using ChatGPT might be the perfect option for you.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming an integral part of the business world, and a great way to capitalize on this technology is to start an AI-driven business.
So today, we’ll be looking at the 9 best businesses to start using ChatGPT, from the most popular to the most innovative.
Whether you’re looking for a full-time business opportunity or just a side hustle, these businesses will provide you with the opportunity to make money and build a successful business.
Let’s dive right in…
The ChatGPT opportunity
Did you know that there is more to the ChatGPT equation that just numbers and clever systems?
The most crucial factor to these systems are the users, and their imagination…
People like you and me, who are interested in AI technology, can take systems like ChatGPT to a whole new level.
Think about it…
Up until now, the majority of people who are using ChatGPT are just playing with it. They’re using it for fun stuff like creating jokes and answering tricky questions.
Or they’re simply using it to make their day-to-day life easier.
And there is nothing wrong with that.
If ChatGPT can make your everyday life easier, keep on doing what you’re doing.
However, the real opportunity presents itself when you realize just how powerful ChatGPT is, and what it can do for you.
You see, clever people are constantly finding new ways to plugin ChatGPT into their own custom applications.
And people interested in starting their own businesses are figuring out how AI systems like ChatGPT can make the process both easier, faster and more profitable.
People are even finding creative ways to sell services online that are based on ChatGPT. And these services can be either fully automated or completed in record time thanks to this technology.
This means that they can build businesses that are more efficient, meaning that thy can take on more work, while delivering results faster.
And remember that all of this is done without the official API for ChatGPT. Just imagine the amazing applications that will come to life once the official API is released.
But more on API later…
Let’s have a look at some great businesses that you can start using ChatGPT.
What are the best ChatGPT businesses to start?
Starting a business can be overwhelming and intimidating, especially if you intend to do it alone and from home.
You don’t know where to begin, you don’t have the resources to hire a team, and you don’t want to waste a bunch of time and money on things that are doomed to fail.
Starting a home-based business with ChatGPT is a great idea since it gives you access to the incredible potential of artificial intelligence.
ChatGPT is sure to give your business a competitive edge, whether it helps you build and scale your business faster or if it’s the actual brain behind your new business.
And by leveraging AI, you can create high-quality, original content that is tailored to your business’s needs.
Plus, it can also help you to quickly and cost-effectively launch new products or services.
So, here are my top picks for the best businesses you can start using ChatGPT.
1. Sales copywriting
This is probably one of the most lucrative businesses to start using ChatGPT.
Sales copywriting is an expensive service and professional copywriters can charge well beyond $10K for their work.
What this means is that there is a good opportunity for you to start a service where you help people get their sales copy done quickly.
If you don’t know what copywriting is, it’s basically all the text you see on a website or the script for a YouTube video.
And sales specific copy can be found whenever someone wants to sell a product, like, sales funnels, landing pages, emails, ads, websites, stores, etc. You get the point…
By leveraging ChatGPT’s powerful natural language processing powers, you should have no problem creating copy that you can charge money for.
Here’s an example of how you would go about doing this:
- Get yourself access to an AI writer tool like ChatGPT, Copy.AI or Writesonic.
- Create an account at Fiverr or Upwork or any other freelancing site to find customers.
- Ask the customers to tell you what type of sales copy they want, product name, what type of offer it is, etc.
- Then you take that information and put that into your AI-writer.
- When it has created a few variations for you, sort through them to ensure that they’re error free.
- Send the sales copy to the customer and get paid.
It doesn’t have to be much harder than that, and you don’t have to be an expert copywriter to get started.
The most important thing with this business model is that you are serious about what you’re doing.
2. Ad creation service
Tagging along the previous point, but this time you’ll be using ChatGPT to start a business that is focusing on a small section of copywriting, namely ad creation.
Ad creation is also a very lucrative market since people selling products and services online need good ad copy.
Why…?
Because ads are expensive to buy and if you’re going to pay for exposure, you want that click as well. Otherwise, you’ll be throwing your money away for nothing.
This means that great ad copy is one of the key factors in selling stuff online using PPC advertising.
To get started, you do just like with sales copywriting…
Set up an account on Fiverr or Upwork and start helping people with their ads.
Then once you have enough knowledge in the field, you can start scaling and start your own ad creation agency.
Still don’t believe that this can work?
I just saw this video on YouTube where Ryan Reynolds used ChatGPT to create an ad. And it’s actually a really good ad.
This only tells me two things…
First, you can use ChatGPT to create your own ads for your own products and services. Second, It can also be part of the foundation of a lucrative ad creation business.
3. SEO agency
Not only can ChatGPT help you with your in-house SEO, but it can also provide you with a great business opportunity if you want to work with SEO.
As we all know, topical domination is the name of the game if you want to rank in search engines today.
And one way to achieve domination is to find all the good keywords covering one single topic.
This can be done manually, but it would take far too much time.
But, by using ChatGPT, this kind of research can be done in minutes. You simply ask it to provide you with some good keywords related to the topic.
Just like this:
As you probably can understand this is another freelancing gig.
The goal of this type of business is to help your customers find good and potentially profitable keywords. These are keywords that your customers then can use to grow their businesses with, so it’s important to do a good job here.
Personally, I would combine ChatGPT with tools like SpyFu or Ahrefs.
Why?
Because the keywords generated by ChatGPT don’t come with any data. Meaning that even though it can generate the keywords you still need to look them up in another tool to get the data.
By using tools like SpyFu and Ahrefs, you can compile all the keywords into .xml documents, so you send over all the work to the customer in a nice convenient package.
This document will contain all the crucial data such as traffic volume, difficulty, linking domains, click rates, etc.
And you must provide your customers with this data…
Because people who want help with keyword research don’t just want a list of keywords, that’s pretty much useless. They want keywords with relevant data that decisions can be made on.
4. AI-driven thumbnail service
Up until now, we’ve been talking a lot about ChatGPT, but we must not forget that Dall-E and Stable Diffusion also can provide great business opportunities.
Both Stable Diffusion and Dall-E are AI-powered image generators that can turn text into images, or images into other images for that matter.
ChatGPT utilizes these two AI’s to create images from prompts, which means that you can ask it to generate ideas for thumbnails that will capture your audience’s attention.
All you need to do is provide a few words that describe the video you want to create and ChatGPT will use its natural language processing technology to come up with creative thumbnail ideas.
I probably don’t have to tell you that I see a business idea in this…
A business idea that allows you to start doing freelance gigs helping people with creating thumbnails for their YouTube videos, or whatever else needs a thumbnail.
It’s a fairly simple business model, but one with much potential.
By using AI technology you can create cool thumbnails that really stand out and are unique with a few clicks. And since ChatGPT has access to so much information, it can create images that you might never have thought of otherwise.
5. Start a newsletter
Another thing that both new and existing businesses can do is start a weekly newsletter using ChatGPT.
But why start a newsletter, can that even be profitable?
Three words – Yes it can!
Email marketing is a huge part of online sales, and according to Insider Intelligence, 81% of businesses send newsletters.
Obviously, a newsletter isn’t only created for sales purposes, it’s also an amazing way for you to build relationships with your followers and strengthen their trust in your brand.
Subscribers that regularly open your emails and engage with your content, are much more likely to buy from you when you have something to offer.
So, how can ChatGPT help you start a newsletter business?
Thanks to natural language processing, it can help you generate everything from email headlines to the entire email.
And starting a newsletter business is fairly easy:
- Start by picking a niche. (Master one niche before exploring new ones).
- Sing up for an email service provider like ActiveCampaign. Now you have a way to create lists and send emails.
- Then create an account for ChatGPT, either at OpenAI or Writesonic. Now you can create the actual emails with ease.
- Create a simple landing page where people can sign up for your newsletter.
- Spread the word about your new amazing newsletter. This can be done on your website, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, etc.
To monetize your newsletter, you could do things like:
- Sponsorships
- Ads
- Affiliate marketing
- Create a paid premium newsletter with a monthly fee
- Sell your own products
- and much more
Just remember not to bombard your subscribers with offers all the time, this will only lead to unsubscribes. 80% amazing content and 20% promotional content is a good ratio to remember.
6. Content creation service
Another great business opportunity is to start creating content for others.
You can probably guess that this is another freelancing gig.
Unlike sales copy and ad creation, you’ll now create all types of content from video descriptions to blog posts.
But why is this so lucrative?
First of all, content creation will never die…
Second, bloggers and other content creators always need to come up with new content to grow their brands, keep rankings, and not lose subscribers.
And in order to do so, they must produce more content in less time.
As a blogger myself, I know for a fact that creating quality content takes time. And at a certain point you can’t write everything yourself to maintain your posting schedule.
This is the time when bloggers start hiring people to write for them.
So, as you probably can tell, becoming a writer isn’t such a bad idea.
The great thing about this is that you don’t have to be an expert writer to get started. Not when you have AI.
By leveraging ChatGPT’s natural language processing powers, GPT-3 technology and AI writing software, you can start a content creation business with relative ease.
With this, you can help your customers create customized and personalized content, generate ideas for content topics, and create content in a variety of formats such as blog posts, articles, and social media posts.
And the best thing about this is that it’s a highly scalable business model.
7. Start your own blog
If you want to be your own boss and work from home, then starting a blog is pretty much the ultimate solution.
Creating and monetizing a blog can be very lucrative if done right. As a business, it can give you much freedom and be your first step into the passive income lifestyle, but only if it’s done “right”.
Starting a profitable blog isn’t easy, and it typically means that you have to master many skills like web design, keyword research, writing and marketing.
The good thing about starting a blog these days is that by using ChatGPT much of that can be automated.
So, instead of having to learn every skill from scratch, you can just ask ChatGPT to create it for you.
Here are a few examples of what it can help you with:
- Ideas for content
- Keyword research
- SEO
- Content outlines
- Sales copy
- Blog post drafts
- and much more…
This means that you don’t have to be an expert writer or marketer to get your blog started.
The benefit of creating a professional blog is that it will last a long time and there are many ways to monetize it.
For example, a blog can make money on ads, affiliate marketing, sponsorships, selling your own products and services, courses, and much more.
8. Web coding service
One of the more advanced businesses you can start with ChatGPT is a web coding service.
I know it may sound hard to believe but a natural language processes AI can in fact generate fully functioning code.
It can help you create custom code for websites, mobile apps, database management, debugging existing code and even it can even help with game development.
So as you can see, there are a lot of things you can do with it.
And as a business model, it can also be very profitable since many are looking for custom code solutions or a pair of extra eyes for debugging.
Here’s an example of a code generated by ChatGPT (ChatSonic):
At the moment ChatGPT supports the coding languages Python, JavaScript and HTML, but there are plans on adding more.
An important note on this business idea is that…
For you to become successful, you need to know what you’re doing. In other words, you should learn a bit about coding before diving into this model head first.
As an old programmer myself, I know that things tend to get difficult quickly, and you need to prepare for that.
Also, you should have a way to test your codes before you send them away to the customer. Sending broken codes to customers will definitely hurt your reputation.
This is why it’s a good idea to start with HTML since it’s fairly easy to test functions.
9. Transcription service
This is probably the most obvious business, that’s why I put it at the end.
Transcribing text is ChatGPT’s home turf sort of speaking. With its natural language processing capabilities, it’s able to understand almost any language.
This also means that it can transcribe almost any language.
All you need to do is feed it the text or audio and tell it to translate it into the desired language.
This means that you can start a business that focuses on helping people transcribe their text into another language. Just remember that it’s a benefit if you know the languages you provide services for so you can ensure that everything is grammatically correct.
Other than that, it’s a pretty straightforward business model. And yet again the best way to get started with this is freelancing.
Many people all over the world are looking for this kind of service, especially when it comes to translating texts into grammatically correct English.
What is ChatGPT
ChatGPT is an open-source natural language processing (NLP) model built on top of the GPT-3 architecture, developed by OpenAI.
To keep it short, ChatGPT is an AI-powered chatbot that allows users to chat with a robot as if it were a real person. (The long explanation is here).
And for it to give you responses that are both relevant, human-sounding and coherent, it uses complex neural networks and a massive dataset containing roughly 300 billion words.
It’s this complexity that gives it the capability to understand the context of a human conversation.
The great thing about ChatGPT is that it’s able to generate long and complex conversations, making it perfect for tasks such as chatbot development, question answering, and data exploration.
Additionally, it’s also capable of understanding and responding to multiple languages, making it accessible to a wide range of users.
Thanks to its state-of-the-art AI capabilities, ChatGPT is a must-have tool for both startups and already-established businesses.
Now you might think that such technology must cost an arm and a leg to use…
However, you couldn’t be further from the truth, in fact, ChatGPT can be accessed for free (for now), which is pretty amazing.
API integration changed the game
Application Programming Interface, or API, is used to transfer data between two or more applications, enabling them to communicate and share data with each other.
By using API integration, companies can easily connect their applications with third-party services, making their applications more powerful and more convenient for users.
But what does this mean to you?
Well, it’s actually very simple…
Now you can incorporate AI-powered services like Dall-E and ChatGPT into your own custom applications.
This in return opens up a whole new world of opportunities, hence the above list.
However, Just like I said earlier, you should know that at the moment there is no official ChatGPT API available. But this doesn’t mean that you can’t use it, because the ChatGPT community has figured things out for you.
Also, OpenAI is working on the official ChatGPT API, and in a tweet on January 17, 2023, they stated that it’s coming soon.
If you want to be the first to use the official API, you can join the waitlist here.
The small problem with ChatGPT…
There’s no question about it, ChatGPT can help both new and existing businesses with a variety of things. From writing and chatbots to image creation and even coding.
But before you get too deep into starting your business, I’d like to address one tiny problem you should be aware of…
You see, ChatGPT has one major problem, and that is that it has only been trained on data up to early 2022. This means that it can be somewhat limited when it comes to generating content on new and hot topics.
Although this is a problem that seems unsolvable, there’s actually an easy and simple solution for it.
Third-party services like Writesonic for example have taken the core of ChatGPT and improved it. Their ChatSonic feature also incorporates the latest data from Google, making it more capable of keeping up with new trends.
And you can stop worrying about extra costs, ChatSonic is free to use just like ChatGPT from OpenAI. However, OpenAI is talking about charging money for ChatGPT in the future.
Benefits of starting a business using ChatGPT
ChatGPT is a great way to save time and money while scaling operations quickly.
With ChatGPT, businesses can automate routine tasks, allowing them to focus their resources on more important areas of the business.
It can also help businesses reduce costs associated with customer service and support, as it can automate many of these tasks.
Not forgetting to mention the fact that many startups are building their entire businesses around the idea of using ChatGPT.
In addition to saving time and money, ChatGPT also provides businesses with a number of other benefits.
For example, ChatGPT can help businesses improve customer retention and loyalty, as customers can receive personalized and efficient service.
And it can also help businesses increase efficiency and accuracy, as automated tasks are often more accurate than manual processes.
Moreover, it also reduces the time it takes to create content. Meaning that content creators like bloggers can produce more in less time.
Finally, it can also help businesses stay ahead of the competition.
With ChatGPT, businesses can quickly scale operations and stay ahead of the curve. This can be especially beneficial if need to quickly adapt to changing market conditions or if you’re launching a brand new business.
Businesses already using ChatGPT
Even though ChatGPT is the new kid on the block, businesses, entrepreneurs and individuals have already figured out how to benefit from it.
So here are a few examples of businesses and applications that use either ChatGPT or Dall-E (for image generation):
Perplexity
What Perplexity provides is an “Ask Anything” service that can describe any subject in just a few sentences.
So you can ask it something like: “Elon Musk Twitter controversy”?
By using ChatGPT’s natural language processing powers, Perplexity.ai can understand exactly what your looking for.
It’s then going to search all the top articles on Google, vet every single article for you and then give you the best short-answer summary out there.
This is really helpful because if you Google something, you typically have to go through multiple articles before you find the best answer.
Perplexity on the other hand is going to go through hundreds of articles in an instant, so it can summarize any topic for you.
Very simple but also very useful.
Sitekick.ai
Sitekick.ai have created a service that uses ChatGPT and Dall-E to allow you to create any landing page you want in just a few minutes.
How can this be useful?
If you work with dropshipping, you know just how important it is to test how different or new products resonate with your audience.
So you’re constantly building landing pages for these products to see what your audience is interested in.
This can be a very time-consuming task, and time is money.
Typically it can take anything from a few hours to a few days to build a good landing page for a product.
And that’s if you do everything yourself….
If you want to hire someone to do this for you it can set you back $100, $5,000 or more.
By using Sitekick.ai, all you have to do is type in the desired URL, some site information, and maybe provide a few images, that’s all it needs.
Based on that information it’s going to create a beautiful landing page for you, with both great copy and a nice-looking layout.
This means that you now can do work that took days in just a few minutes, and for the fraction of the cost.
CALA
CALA is a pioneering fashion and lifestyle operating system; it’s the very first of its kind.
What they’ve done is that they’ve taken the complete design process and put it into one single digital platform. From creating the concept to enabling online sales to order fulfillment, it’s all done from one place.
With the help of DALL-E, CALA’s cutting-edge AI tools will let users create new ideas and designs by simply providing a natural text description or uploading a reference photo.
It’s very cool to see that we are starting to introduce these kinds of revolutionary AI-powered platforms to the market.
Mixtiles
Mixtiles is an up-and-coming photo company that is rapidly gaining recognition.
They’ve developed a simple-to-use platform that has enabled millions of people to design stunning photo walls on their own.
Mixtiles has harnessed the power of the DALL-E API to design and frame artwork that really speaks to the user.
It’ll guide you through a fun and creative process to capture your favorite childhood memories, dream destinations, and much more.
Custom Google Chrome extension
I found this one when I was browsing through GitHub.
A user called “Gragland” has made a Chrome extension using ChatGPT API.
This custom extension adds ChatGPT to every text box on the entire internet.
So you can use it to write tweets, email, fix coding bugs, or whatever else you can imagine, as long as it has a text box.
And all of it can be done without you having to leave the site you’re on.
You can watch a demo of it here.
So even without an official API for ChatGPT, people are still doing some really cool stuff with it.
Conclusion
ChatGPT has quickly become a game-changer in the AI industry.
And it’s an invaluable tool if you’re an individual looking to start, run, and scale your new business.
Not only can it help you keep the costs low, but it’ll also help you increase your overall efficiency.
This now means that entrepreneurs can start a variety of businesses that are powered by ChatGPT in some way, shape or form.
So, if you’re looking for ways to start a home-based business using AI technology like ChatGPT, the above list should give you a good starting point.
