5 ChatGPT prompts to turn your expertise into passive income
Every day you don't find ways of monetizing your expertise with passive revenue streams, someone with half your knowledge makes twice your income. They package mediocre insights into products that thousands of people buy, while you struggle with perfectionism and don't publish anything. They're not smarter than you. They just took action. What if your knowledge worked for you 24/7, earning while you sleep?
You know your stuff. You already have everything needed to build income streams that multiply without you, and ChatGPT can help. Copy, paste and edit the square brackets in ChatGPT, and keep the same chat window open so the context carries through.
You already solved problems others pay thousands to fix. Someone desperately needs that solution you take for granted, and they need it now. Your imposter syndrome is costing you money and it needs to stop. Create a course, ebook, or template from what you already know. Attack one specific problem really well. When I sold my agency, buyers didn't care about my credentials. They paid for the systems I'd documented.
"Based on what you know about my expertise and the problems I solve, help me identify my most valuable knowledge to package. Ask me 3 questions about challenges I've overcome that others still face. Then create an outline for a digital product that solves one specific problem really well. Include the transformation it provides, 5 key modules, and how to price it based on the value delivered. Ask for more detail if required."
Manual work is a trap disguised as dedication, and you can never get that time back. Build systems that sell and deliver without you. Set up email sequences, payment processing, and customer support. make your income truly passive when you let technology handle repetition. Create once, profit forever. The work happens upfront, the rewards compound daily.
"Create a complete automation blueprint for my passive income product. Map out the entire customer experience from discovery to delivery. Include specific tools for payment processing, email sequences, file delivery, and basic customer support. Give me 5 key automations to implement first that will save the most time. Before starting, ask for more detail, including information about my ideal customer and dream business model."
Everything you offer for free needs to be connected to what you actually sell. Give value first, then ask them to buy. Make your free stuff so good they can't imagine missing your paid content. Strategic generosity builds empires when you put a strategy behind it. Make every touchpoint move someone closer to becoming a customer.
"Based on what you know about my target audience and main offering, design 5 strategic pieces of free content that lead naturally to my paid product. Each should solve a small part of the bigger problem my product addresses. Include specific topics, formats (blog post, video, template, etc.), and how each piece pre-sells my main offer without being pushy. Ask for more detail if required."
Time for money has a ceiling, and products have a shelf life, but communities have infinite potential. Build a membership or mastermind around your product where customers teach each other. Every hour you put in is multiplied because hundreds of people can experience your value at once. Your best members support each other, and you're at the centre of all that gold. Set the culture, establish the framework, and invite people in. Get ideas for your community theme with AI.
"Based on what you know about my expertise and ideal customers, design a scalable community model that generates recurring revenue. Include the community concept, structure, member benefits, pricing tiers, and how members will help each other succeed. Suggest 3 ways to make the community valuable even when I'm not actively participating. Ask for more detail if required."
Most people overlook licensing, but it could be right for you. Teach others to do what you do and take a percentage, so your processes become profit for someone else. They white label your knowledge-based product, they build their own community, they pay you a fee. Other people doing the delivery means your income has no limits. Licensees handle clients, and you collect royalties. See if it's possible within your existing expertise and field.
"Based on what you know about my unique methods and target market, create a licensing strategy that lets others profit from my expertise. Outline how to package my process for others to deliver, suggested revenue split models, and 3 types of professionals who would want to license my method. Include quality control measures to protect my reputation. Ask for more detail if required."
Your knowledge deserves better and you know you could do more with it. Turn expertise into products people buy on repeat. Build automations that work harder than you ever could. Create content that attracts buyers while you sleep. Expand into communities where success multiplies itself. License methods that scale beyond your personal capacity. Stop planning. Start packaging. Your future self will wonder why you waited so long.
