Greetings Tech Nomads,

Today we are looking at: My Two Big AI Milestones – ChatGPT and Make.com

TL;DR: AI tools like ChatGPT and Make.com have become my digital coworkers, helping me crank out content and start new revenue streams.

I've reached an exciting milestone with ChatGPT. I've been spending $20 a month on ChatGPT Plus but honestly, at this rate, I'd almost fork out ten times that amount ($200/month). Seriously, this AI is like my lab buddy—I toss questions, it tosses back answers; I hand it puzzles and it hands back solutions. I've started using it creatively to build apps that actually make money—pretty cool digital side hustle, right?

The other big win is Make.com. For about $100 a year, Make.com lets me string together automated tasks called "scenarios." Think digital factory belt: I just jot down some quick ideas (typos and all—yikes), and Make passes it on to ChatGPT to tidy up, then down to the next station to make artwork, then to another module for my podcast, even handling video scripts. Ta-da—a podcast, video, blog post, or newsletter, all from my messy notes.

I've even used Make.com to whip up an automation to create and upload PDFs for sale on Etsy. Why PDFs? Well, digital goods like these are big business now. In 2024, online shopping hit around a trillion bucks ($1.19T)—and PDF-related software alone brought in about $1.96 billion worldwide, with steady growth expected (13.3% annually until 2031). Clearly, digital products are hot, and PDFs are a piece of that lucrative pie.

So why does all this matter? Simple: Automations like mine can save tons of time and open up new ways to earn by selling digital products. If you've been dragging your feet about AI, now's the time to jump on the conveyor belt.

Be seeing you…
