GPT-4 made me $13k in 2 weeks

2 weeks ago I joined the HustleGPT challenge. The main goal of this challenge is to use GPT-4 to create side hustles. I'm not a software developer. I don't have any programming experience. But I've promised to myself to build at least 1 digital product every single day. It can be an app, a website, a web app, a game, anything.

To build my apps, I've used advanced prompting methods with recursive improvement and combined that with popular No Code tools (mostly Bubble). With this combination I've built mobile apps that are available on the App Store and Play Market. Also, I made 1 hypercasual mobile game, VPN mobile app, app for MacOS, websites and chatbots with GPT-4 integration. I've never felt so powerful in my life :) I know that I can build anything that comes to my mind now. GPT-4 has really changed my life.

On the 3rd day of the HustleGPT challenge, I created an app for MacOS that lets you use ChatGPT inside any text field on Mac. You can click on any text field and just type "gpt:" and then enter your prompt. That's it.

This app alone has generated me $980 of revenue in the first couple of days. I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened my Gumroad dashboard.

After 3 weeks, total revenue was $13, 652.71. That's more than my salary on my main job. I don't plan on quitting yet. Because it has only been 3 weeks and I don't know where this is going.

Now I'm focusing more on microsaas and mobile games. I'm still delivering 1 digital product every single day. My other apps started generating some good revenue too. 20% of the total revenue was from other apps combined.

So, if you want to start building, today is the best time. You don't need programming experience (it'd be great if you have though). AI + No Code is all you need. Now, my imagination is the only limit. I just think of stuff and build it with GPT-4.

I wrote this post to inspire more people to start creating. Let me know if you have any questions.

    Am I the only thinking this is a lie?

    1. 4

      Seriously, something isn't adding up

  2. 13

    you provided no detail.

    hey everyone, chatgpt made me $100k in 2 weeks. i built 1 app a day. the mobile app that I built for the iphone (no link sorry) made me $30k of the $100k. 80/20 rule am i right lol! but anyways, good luck everyone. hustle hard!

    That's what it sounds like. cmon man.

    Isn't their quite a long lead time before the App Store and Play Market approve submissions?

    Like, uhm, longer than 2 weeks?

  4. 8

    MacOS app idea with gpt: prompt: valid and smart idea
    Making this app with no dev knowledge and solely with chatGPT: lie
    Making a bug free and not-exploitable MacOS app in 1 day: straight lie
    Generating 13k revenue from gpt: idea: very possible but need evidence.

    As someone who is trying to learn&build MacOS apps, if someone tells you that they made MacOS app with no dev knowledge, I'd be extremely cautious to install and use it.

    I am happy to update my comment if the OG shares all the details about the app, revenue and the exact process how they built it.

    Can you share the names of these apps?

    I'm an old school dev, and it's incredible that these apps can a) be made in a day b) make this kind of revenue in 2 weeks. Congrats!

    1. 2

      As another old school dev, the thought of a GPT VPN app from a non-dev gives me cold sweats.

  6. 5

    I need the app name and authenticate revenue details from gumroad to believe.

    The world is full of scammers.

  7. 3

    Alot of things don't add up here, It takes time to get approved for the Appstore. Even with GPT helping out there's no way you could launch that many complicated apps in a short period of time.

    Also why did you post a gumroad screenshot? Is that a replacement for Stripe somehow for SAAS products?

    I can't figure out the motivation behind a post like this, are you promoting some type of course? This has "follow me to get rich" vibes to it

  8. 3

    I am sorry but it sounds complete utter lie to me

  9. 3

    Developing an app, building a website for it, terms, and conditions, screenshots, apple review checks, confirmation of paid an in-app subscriptions... it's not possible to do it all in one day. And just with AI + No Code with no coding experience sounds like a big lie tbh.

  10. 3

    well done ! , can you tell the name of your MacOS app ?

  11. 2

    Can you share some details? What apps are these?

  12. 2

    Hey! Thanks for all your tips! I followed your way and I am making 10k DRR (daily recurring revenue).
    You said you're not a programmer but you know what? I don't know how to use a computer!!!! I built the whole thing talking to Siri. This comment is also written by Siri!

    Thanks!

  13. 2

    that is lovely. but one main question that I still can't get the answer for:

    HOW ARE YOU MARKETING YOUR PRODUCTS?

    1. 1

      Posting on indiehackers ;)

  14. 2

    This is very interesting

  15. 2

    I created an app for MacOS that lets you use ChatGPT inside any text field on Mac.

    Can you tell more about how you acquired users for this app?

      1. 1

        could you share a link to your tiktok?

      2. 1

        Paid or your own user? ( I try to breakthrough tiktok but got only 50 view per video), what is the secret sauce :)?

  16. 2

    You can click on any text field and just type "gpt:" and then enter your prompt.

    This is actually an amazing user-experience. Congrats on your success!

  17. 1

    Instander has completely transformed the way I approach social media! The interface is sleek and user-friendly, making it a breeze to navigate. Plus, the added features like scheduling posts and analyzing engagement have been game-changers for my online presence.

  18. 1

    I spent months building my own blog with the help of GPT-4. beingassistant dot c(o)m

  19. 1

    Absolutely incredible journey! Your success with GPT-4 and No Code tools is truly inspiring. Thanks for sharing your experience – you're proof that creativity and determination can lead to amazing results. Best of luck with your ongoing projects! 🚀

  20. 1

    Even chat gpt does not give you 100% solutions to all problems. You need to be more serious about the projects you carry out, because they will be checked not by chat gpt, but by real people

  21. 1

    This is inspirational

  22. 1

    noo way, give me your twitter

  23. 1

    Can you share the source of your digital product or app that you created in just one day and generated a significant amount in a short period? I'm really surprised by how you achieved this.

    Do you possess a superpower skill, or is it just a post filled with words? We have been spending months trying to generate similar results with a proper team!

    1. 1

      Superpower:

      Extremely liberal with the truth

    Does anybody know if Bubble uses jquery? I used webflow some time ago, but migrated to a custom made solution, because jquery was slowing down the site and the version they used was known to allow for cross-site-scripts.

  26. 1

    Wow, it's amazing to see how GPT-4 has transformed your life and allowed you to create digital products without any programming experience. Your success is truly inspiring and shows that anyone can create a successful side hustle with the right tools and mindset.

    It's also great to see how you're focusing on microsaas and mobile games, as these are both growing markets with lots of potential for success.

    But agreeing with @averageabidal, how are you marketing these products and getting them on the playstores? How are you generating your revenues?

  27. 1

    This is so inspiring to me. How did you get those apps off the ground so quickly? I can imagine you had to use a cloud provider to build the VPN for example. I would not be able to launch a VPN App that quickly.

  28. 1

    Thank you for inspiring others to start creating with AI and No Code tools.

  29. 1

    Yeah, as point of interest, when you zoom in on real Gumroad accounts/dashboards, they don't show pixelation around the text like the balances in that screenshot.

    Maybe IH compresses images before upload, but the pixelation in that image lends even more weight to this being bogus.

    P.S. OP, if you think IH is a tough crowd, please try uploading that to HackerNews.

    I double dare you.

  30. 1

    How did you promote and got traction?

  31. 1

    Wow, that's really impressive! It's amazing to see how AI, combined with No Code tools, can empower individuals to create and launch their own digital products without any programming experience. It's great to hear that you've been able to generate significant revenue in just a few weeks by leveraging GPT-4 and your creativity. I was also using chat for making my website https://suilong.co.uk/ and it help me alot and i am making almost 3k montly

  32. 1

    This is very inspiring!

    Curious to know how you marketed the product though

  33. 1

    I follow you on Twitter as well
    Congratulations, very impressive

    Wow !!!.... Good.

    May I know the name of your app? It would be interesting to try it out myself and see how it works. Keep up the good work!

  35. 1

    t's always inspiring to hear about individuals who are able to leverage technology in such a positive way. However, it's important to keep in mind that not everyone may experience the same results. It's essential to conduct thorough research and understand the risks involved before investing any money into a technology or platform. Additionally, it's important to remember that success is not always measured by financial gain alone. Best of luck with your future endeavors!
    Many others are earning more by using chatgpt api like https://writeme.ai/

  36. 1

    I was actually following your developments on twitter .

    Did you promot the entire thing? Or did you have to weigh in some code from your end too?

    Either ways that amount of money is quite impressive.

    Congratulations 👏

  37. 1

    This was posted on reddit, lol.

  38. 1

    I think so this is not true. I spends month's to build a ai photography app for my own purpose wit the help of gpt.

  39. 1

    Really impressed by your decision to build atleast one solution a day. Great work and such a nice idea.👍
    Would really like to connect

  40. 1

    Are you using your own API keys or making your users enter their own?

  41. 1

    wow this is amazing....

    1. 1

      Amazingly untrue.

      But I'd be more than happy to be proved wrong by OP.

  42. 1

    This is pretty incredible. How do you generate ideas? What are the links to these apps? How do you create these apps so quickly?

  43. 1

    It is great to have an idea to build for each day. Congrats.
