How I Made My First $100 with ChatGPT (No Tech Skills Needed)

When I first heard about ChatGPT, I didn’t think it would change how I work, create, and earn — but it did. And fast.

Like many beginners, I wasn’t sure how to start. I wasn’t a programmer or AI expert. I was just curious. So I gave myself a challenge:

🎯 Can I earn $100 using only ChatGPT and free tools?

The answer: Yes. And in this post, I’ll show you exactly how I did it.

🎯 Step 1: I Picked a Clear Goal

I didn’t want to overcomplicate it. I decided to try two beginner-friendly income paths using ChatGPT:

Create simple digital products
Use ChatGPT to help me write content that would lead to course sales

I didn’t need a big audience. Just a clear offer, a helpful message, and the right tools.

🛠 Step 2: I Used ChatGPT to Build Value

Here’s how ChatGPT helped me do the work — faster:

✍️ Ebook creation

I used ChatGPT to:

Generate outlines
Draft sections of my ebooks
Rewrite and simplify my ideas

💡 This helped me publish:

These became part of my free course offer and helped build trust.

📝 Blog writing & content creation

With ChatGPT and RightBlogger, I wrote:

Blog posts
LinkedIn posts
Course descriptions
SEO titles and meta descriptions

💸 Step 3: I Offered a Free Course + Upsell

Once I had my ebooks and content ready, I built a free 5-lesson AI course using Coursify.me.

Inside that free course, I offered:

🎁 Free tools + downloads
🎓 The option to unlock the full 22-lesson course for a one-time price

Some students upgraded — and that’s how I earned my first $100.

I didn’t use ads. I didn’t have a big email list. I just went to ChatGPT, told my story and a beginner-focused strategy.

🧰 Tools I Used to Make It Happen

Here are the exact tools I used — all beginner-friendly:

Just use a system, the right tools, and a willingness to try.
