I'm Ben Gusberg. I'm a Stanford founder of an AI startup. We've raised $4 million. People are making $10K a month selling coloring books online. I wanna do that too. Let's use ChatGPT for this. First, go to Amazon and find a coloring book with lots of reviews. I chose this one because it's already made over $120,000. Then, open ChatGPT and go to the work tab. ChatGPT work is basically an AI agent that can control and use your computer. It can also make illustrations, so it's gonna make the whole coloring book for you. All you need to do is tell it in simple English what you want. In my case, it's create a new coloring book based on this example. Full prompt is up here. Chat will then use your example as inspo to create all the pages, the cover, everything. 10 minutes later you have a product ready to sell on Amazon. Amazon even has a service where you can publish books for free, and they pay you 60% of all revenue. So just go to this website and upload the coloring book files ChatGPT created for you. Once that's done, congrats, you created your first side hustle. Share your coloring book in the comments below. Oh, and buy mine here. I'm Ben Gusberg.
