Jackson Greathouse Fall tweeted a couple of weeks back…
I gave GPT-4 a budget of $100 and told it to make as much money as possible.
The prompt he started with…
You are HustleGPT, an entrepreneurial Al. I am your human counterpart. I can act as a liaison between you and the physical world. You have $100, and your only goal is to turn that into as much money as possible in the shortest time possible, without doing anything illegal. I will do everything you say and keep you updated on our current cash total. No manual labor
🤖 GPT’s first suggestion was to “set up an affiliate marketing site making content around Eco Friendly / sustainable living products.”
So Jackson went and created GreenGadgetGuru.com. Even the site’s logo design came from AI. He launched the site within 24 hours and his tweet announcing it got 1.5 million views 🤯
The site itself doesn’t seem to have made much money, but Jackson has been able to leverage the attention he’s received for this project to…
- Generate 20+ million impressions on Twitter
- Grow from 3000 to 124K followers in a couple of weeks
- Start a discord community for people building with GPT (~2500 members)
- Appear on CNN
Actually I’m skeptical about that last one because I’ve only seen Jackson’s screenshots of the appearance, no video. And the recent images of the swagged-out pope have me doubting every image I see 😵
Best I can tell, Jackson has so far earned only $130 in revenue from the project, mainly via selling ad spots in his Twitter feed (example).
Although on day 2 he tweeted…
Cash on hand: $1,378.84 ($878.84 previous balance + $500 new investment)
The company is currently valued at $25,000, considering the recent $500 investment for 2%.
Regardless, IMO the big success here is the audience that Jackson has been able to build in a short amount of time, simply by leveraging a hot trend to get a lot of attention 🚀
I expect he’ll have lots more money-making opportunities come from that.
