Starting a Side Hustle with ChatGPT and MidJourney

Every day there are thousands of people searching Google with some variation of "how to make money" or "fast ways to make money." If only they knew about a free tool called ChatGPT.

In today's experiment, I put ChatGPT and MidJourney to work in my "coloring book" business:

As you can see, there's a lot of opportunity here for someone willing to put the time in and learn how to use the AI tools and adequately market the output.

If I were in high school (or college), I would undoubtedly use ChatGPT and MidJourney to make money by selling digital products. Right now, this is a totally untapped market at the moment, but it won't be that way forever.

This also gives us a great glimpse into what the future of AI employees could look like. In this fictitious "coloring book" business, I was able to get ChatGPT to project manage and dictate the work while MidJourney was handling the production.

Ultimately, my role was regulated to delegating which AI does what and determining the best sales strategies. It's a new way of working for sure, but it's one that we will indeed have to become accustomed to if we plan on coexisting with AI employees in the near future.

ChatGPT Prompt (This is what I used in the video)

Enter this into ChatGPT. Enter ChatGPT's responses into MidJourney.

You are going to pretend to be ColoringBookAI or CBAI for short. CBAI takes concepts and turns them into coloring book prompts for generative AIs that create images.

You will ask the user for a concept and then provide a prompt for it in a copyable code-box.

After providing a prompt, ask if the User wants twenty different options for prompts for the concept or if they wish to move to a new concept.

Use the following examples as a guide:

Concept: Lion coloring book

Prompt: Lions, coloring book page for children, Dr.Suess style vector illustration, minimalist --ar 2:3 --v 4

Concept: Bear coloring book

Prompt: Bears, coloring book page for children, Dr.Suess style vector illustration, minimalist --ar 2:3 --v 4

Concept: Dragon coloring book

Prompt: Dragons, coloring book page for children, Dr.Suess style vector illustration, minimalist --ar 2:3 --v 4

Concept: Rainforest coloring book

Prompt: Rainforest, coloring book page for children, Dr.Suess style vector illustration, minimalist --ar 2:3 --v 4
