I Used ChatGPT (Every day) for 6 Months and Increased My Income to 8x, Here’s How

I extensively relied on ChatGPT for a wide range of tasks, including content writing, programming assistance, and automating repetitive tasks.

I’m a solopreneur, and I believe in diversifying my income rather than relying on a single niche.

And that’s the reason, I write articles on Medium and also work with multiple clients. In addition to that, I’m working on building my own startup as a programmer.

Honestly, being a solopreneur is challenging.

I constantly need to learn, write, and code to stay on top of my game. However, thanks to AI, my productivity has soared to new heights. I now accomplish much more each day than I used to. Not only that, but my earnings have increased 8x compared to the previous year.

You might be wondering how I achieved this.

Well, firstly, I make it a priority to keep myself informed about the latest tools and technologies in my field. During my free time, I actively learn about upcoming AI tools that align with my profession. Also, I use these tools in my work whenever possible.

Here’s how I use AI tools(mostly ChatGPT) in my profession.

1. Content Writing

When I began my career as a programmer, I soon ventured into various other fields. Among them, content writing sparked my interest, which is why I have been consistently writing for the past three years.

Drawing on my knowledge of web development, I explored technical content writing.

This involved learning new web development concepts, implementing them, and then crafting well-written articles. It required thorough editing before finally hitting the publish button.

As you can imagine, it was quite time-consuming. However, with the assistance of ChatGPT, things have become much easier.

Here’s how it has helped me:

• When I’m unsure about what to write, I can turn to ChatGPT for suggestions.

• If I want to change the title of my article, I can rely on ChatGPT for ideas.

• Whenever I need to find specific information, I can simply ask ChatGPT.

• Finally, when I want to ensure my post is free of errors and typos, ChatGPT comes to the rescue.

Of course, I don’t use ChatGPT to write an entire blog post for me, but it proves invaluable in various other scenarios.

2. Programming

If you’ve been following my journey on Medium, you probably know that in addition to being a content writer, I also work as a programmer.

You could say that I spend time writing code from 9 to 5 building my own startup.

And that’s where ChatGPT comes in and lends a helping hand. It assists me in various situations throughout my work:

• Writing code: If I need to write code for a specific task or implement a particular functionality within my skill set, ChatGPT proves to be an excellent resource. I can ask for suggestions, examples, or even pseudocode to guide me in the right direction.

• Debugging and optimization: When faced with errors or the need to enhance my code’s performance, ChatGPT is there to help. I can discuss the issue, provide context, and seek suggestions on how to solve the problem or optimize the code.

With that said, ChatGPT has become an integral part of my professional life, assisting me in multiple aspects of my work as both a content writer and a programmer.

3. Reading Books

I’m a big fan of reading books, covering a wide range of topics, including finance, programming, and business. However, I’m quite selective when it comes to choosing a book.

I tend to avoid books that simply rehash the same concepts, presenting them in different packaging.

For instance, when reading wealth-building books, I often come across repetitive advice like building wealth, avoiding debt, steering clear of credit cards, and investing early to accumulate wealth for retirement.

Frankly, I’m already familiar with these common ideas. What I’m really looking for is something new and innovative that can help me accelerate wealth-building without falling for scams or empty promises.

That’s precisely why I rely on ChatGPT to recommend some of the best books for me. I ask ChatGPT to provide summaries of the books as well.

This way, I can quickly understand the book’s content and decide which ones are worth exploring further. It enables me to find the best books and learn from them more effectively.

4. Automating the Tedious Work

I firmly believe that humans don’t need to work excessively long hours, like 16 hours a day, in order to achieve wealth. Instead, it’s more effective to assign ourselves a few key tasks and focus on completing them within a day.

However, there’s a challenge we often face — tedious tasks that consume a significant amount of our time. It may seem like there’s no solution to this problem, but that’s where ChatGPT can be of assistance.

With ChatGPT, all you need to do is ask what tasks can be automated, and it will provide you with the answer. This means you can identify areas in your work or daily routine that can be streamlined or made more efficient through automation.

By leveraging the power of automation, you can save time and energy, allowing you to focus on more important and fulfilling activities.

Here is the prompt you can use: Can you provide me with a list of common tasks that can be automated in [define where you want to automate], along with some examples of how automation can streamline workflows and improve efficiency?

Similarly, you may ask whatever you want to automate.

Even, you can go ahead and ask the ways you can automate a particular task.

5. Strategizing My Business

I am a solopreneur, which means I handle everything in my business, from content creation to coding and client management. It’s a demanding role that requires me to strategize extensively to grow my business, provide more value, and increase my earnings.

This is where ChatGPT and other AI tools come to my aid.

For instance, if I have a goal of scaling my business by 10 times, I rely on ChatGPT to provide me with a strategy.

I also turn to ChatGPT for assistance with financial queries, marketing advice, SEO guidance, and more.

In addition to ChatGPT, I use several other AI tools such as Flair AI and Canva. These tools allow me to create templates with just a simple prompt, saving me time and effort in designing graphics or other visual elements for my business.

Hope you like it.

That’s it — thanks.
