Jackson Greathouse, a brand creator and writer, asked ChatGPT to turn $100 into “as much money as possible.” The AI proposed a plan that begins with creating a website around eco-friendly products.
Generating as much money as possible with only $100 is the challenge that Jackson Greathouse presented to ChatGPT-4. The entrepreneur surely did not expect such precise advice from the artificial intelligence.
$100 to create a profitable business
Like any conversation with ChatGPT, everything starts with a “prompt”:
“You have $100, and your goal is to turn it into as much money as possible in the shortest amount of time, without doing anything illegal. I will do everything you tell me, and keep you informed of our current liquidity. No manual labor.”
ChatGPT advised him to launch a company named “Green Gadget Guru,” which aims to offer advice and products to people who want to live more sustainably. The first step in the AI’s plan is to buy a domain name and hosting. Total cost of the operation: around $15.
The second step is to “create a niche affiliate website” and associated content with the remaining $85. The chatbot also recommended that Jackson search for affiliate programs offering high commissions on sales made through links highlighted on the website.
The third step proposed by the AI was “to leverage social networks” by sharing articles and product tests on Facebook, Instagram, and also Reddit. The goal here is to showcase his expertise and generate traffic to the website.
For the logo, the entrepreneur also relied on artificial intelligence by asking DALL-E 2 to generate a logo that he then reworked with Illustrator software. Once the site and logo were in place, he asked ChatGPT to write a first article. He continued to follow the chatbot’s recommendations scrupulously by spending the remaining $40 budget on Facebook and Instagram ads to target users who might be interested in eco-friendly products.
The final step is to “optimize content for search engines using search engine optimization techniques to generate traffic to the site.
What are the results?
Just 24 hours after presenting his project on Twitter, Greathouse says he raised $1,378.84 in capital, not thanks to affiliate sales, but from investors who wanted to share in the project. He claims that his private messages on Twitter “are flooded” and that he “no longer takes investors unless the conditions are very favorable.”
According to the entrepreneur, his new AI-assisted business has generated $130 in revenue so far, but it is now valued at $25,000. Amounts that have not yet been verified. Jackson Greathouse’s project has created a huge buzz on social media, attracting the attention of investors and a whole community.
His initial post, dated March 15, 2023, has received over 100,000 likes and has been seen by 21.8 million people so far. A meteoric success that has allowed its author to gain 100,000 followers on Twitter in just one week. If artificial intelligence doesn’t make him a rich man, his curiosity, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit may do so.
