8 ChatGPT Prompts To Make $1,200+ This Week (From My Own Experience)
A few months back, I looked at my bank account and knew something had to change right now. I had recently moved into a new apartment, and my finances were running low. The notion of waiting weeks or months to have a stable income made me more anxious.
That was the time when I started using ChatGPT for serious purposes. However, I never thought that I would be able to turn it into a money-making machine. I was just using ChatGPT to boost my writing speed and align my work as fast as possible. Also, I’m very keen on using it because I’ve extensive experience using it for multiple purposes. To this day, I can count my money, and I can say that I made more than $1,200 in one week. Ohh… my… my It’s a lot of money! You might be thinking how I even made it possible to earn that much money. The secret is one and only, my skills and how I use my skills to earn money online. Moreover, another secret is ChatGPT’s prompts.
However, the fact is that everything takes time, patience and hard work. That’s the important part of every person who is earning money. Nothing comes easy; it takes skills and hard work. But believe me, this method to earn money is faster and easier than anything else I have tried.
Top Eight Secret ChatGPT prompts that I’ve used
1. Turn Your Skills Into Quick Cash
At first, I did not recognized my own talents and how it will be helpful in future. I never thought I had those skills which can help me make a lot of money. Therefore, I’ve heard form many people that to make money, you need to change careers, get a new degree, or keep planning for months. But the fastest way is to take what you already know and put it together for individuals who need it right now. Using this suggestion, ChatGPT helped me come up with 10 clear and useful ways to make money quickly by using my writing and editing skills. I was on Fiverr and LinkedIn offering tiny assignments that did not take up too much of my time but built up financially after a few days. The best thing about this method is that it keeps things genuine; you will not be able to develop a new business empire overnight. You are just employing your current abilities in smarter, faster ways that make money right away.
Prompt:
“I am skilled in [your core skills]. Give me 10 low-lift ways I can make $1,200 in the next seven days by leveraging freelance platforms, LinkedIn, or other accessible methods.”
2. Scale A Service You’ve Already Delivered
The very first time I delivered a quick project on Fiverr, I realized something: it didn’t take me nearly as long as I thought it would be, especially with ChatGPT helping me draft parts of it. That’s when it hit me. If I could deliver this once, why not multiply it? This prompt gave me step-by-step advice on how to scale that service and get more clients lined up. Instead of scrambling for new ideas, I focused on one thing that worked and repeated it. By the end of the week, I had three clients for nearly the same service, all paying over $100 each. Sometimes, we get distracted by trying to do too much, but success can be as simple as doubling down on what’s already proven to work.
Prompt:
“I just delivered [your service] using AI, which saved me time. How do I scale this into 10+ paying clients this week, each at $100+?”
3. Create Irresistible Fiverr Packages
If you’ve ever looked at Fiverr, you’ll know how overwhelming it is. Thousands of people are offering what seems like the exact same service. My first draft gig looked bland and unconvincing and I was lost in the crowd. When I asked ChatGPT to create optimized titles and package descriptions, everything changed. Suddenly, my gig sounded professional, keyword-rich, and appealing.
Potential clients could see exactly what they’d get at each price point, and I started showing up higher in Fiverr search results. Packages aren’t just about pricing; they’re about storytelling. They help you show the customer you’ve thought through their needs and have a solution ready at every level of investment. This is how I went from having no inquiries to having multiple orders.
Prompt:
“I’m creating a Fiverr gig. Write keyword-optimized titles and package descriptions for Basic, Standard, and Premium tiers. Make them compelling enough to stand out.”
4. Add Easy Upsells
One of the smartest money lessons I learned during this process is that people often want more than the bare minimum. If you can offer add-ons that genuinely save time or improve results for them and that don’t require tons of extra effort for you... it’s a win-win. With this prompt, ChatGPT helped me brainstorm upsells like “24-hour delivery” and “SEO keyword optimization.”
However, what surprised me most was how many clients actually clicked to add these options. I thought they’d stick with the cheapest package, but instead, they often paid extra for peace of mind or convenience. That’s the power of upselling, it can take the exact same service and increase your income significantly without increasing your workload by much.
Prompt:
“What simple, high-value upsells can I add to my [service] that won’t take me much time but will boost my earnings?”
5. Build Trust With FAQs
When people land on your Fiverr gig, Upwork profile, or even your LinkedIn service page, they often have doubts swirling in their minds. “Will this person really deliver?” “How do I know the results will be worth it?” That’s where FAQs become powerful. This prompt gave me keyword-rich, reassuring answers that directly tackled client concerns.
For example, one FAQ addressed whether AI-generated content would sound “robotic.” That alone made a big difference because I noticed fewer people hesitating or asking repetitive questions. Instead, they placed their orders with more confidence. FAQs are not just filler text—they’re like mini sales pitches that help you establish credibility, clear up confusion, and show you understand your audience’s mindset.
Prompt:
“Write 7 keyword-rich FAQs for my Fiverr gig. Include one that addresses a common misconception about my service.”
6. Monetize Social Media Without Being ‘Salesy’
I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with social media. On one hand, I use it to connect with friends and share updates. On the other, I never wanted to feel like I was turning my feed into a nonstop sales pitch. But this prompt reframed everything for me.
ChatGPT gave me practical, non-pushy ways to turn my LinkedIn presence into a source of income, things like offering paid consultations, collaborating on small sponsorships, and promoting services subtly through value-packed posts. I didn’t need a huge following to start. Even with a modest audience, I was able to land two collaboration opportunities in a single week. The trick is to see social media not just as a place to scroll, but as an ecosystem where your skills can connect directly with people who need them.
Prompt:
“List ways I can monetize my [LinkedIn/TikTok/Instagram] following this week—through services, sponsorships, paid content, affiliates, or overlooked strategies.”
7. Craft Personalized Outreach Messages
Let’s be honest... sending cold pitches can feel awkward and uncomfortable. I used to freeze up trying to write messages that didn’t sound desperate or spammy. With this prompt, ChatGPT gave me five warm, human-sounding LinkedIn messages that made outreach much easier. Instead of pushing my service, these messages opened with genuine curiosity or offered a small win for the other person.
To my surprise, people responded positively. Some thanked me for reaching out, while others asked for more details about my services. Outreach isn’t about selling right away. It’s about starting conversations that lead to trust, and eventually, paying clients. Once I made that mental shift, it didn’t feel like a sales thing at all.
Prompt:
“Write 5 versions of a warm, non-spammy LinkedIn message I can send to potential clients about my [service], offering a quick win for them.”
8. Package & Sell What You Already Know
This was one of the most exciting parts of my journey... realizing I could turn my knowledge into digital products. ChatGPT suggested me to create simple guides and templates based on my writing expertise. I quickly designed a content calendar template and listed it on Gumroad. By the next day, I made my first sale while I was still asleep.
That moment shifted my mindset completely. I realized that not all income had to be tied directly to my time. Digital products are an amazing way to create leverage, you do the work once and get paid over and over again. If you’ve ever thought “but I don’t have anything to sell,” this prompt will change that.
Prompt:
“Based on my skills in [area], suggest digital products (like guides, templates, or checklists) I can create and sell this week, and outline how to price and market them fast.”
Final Thoughts
I won’t sugarcoat it, but making $1,200 in a week takes effort. But using ChatGPT, I've cut hours of trial-and-error and focused on execution.
The most important part? You don’t need to start from scratch. You already have skills, knowledge, and platforms at your disposal. AI just helps you package and scale them in ways you might not have thought of.
If you’re feeling stuck or pressed for cash, try these prompts this week. And remember, you don’t need to be perfect—you just need to start!
