6 ChatGPT Prompts That Get You Paid $1,000+ To Write In 2025
Back in the day, you'd tell someone, 'I'm a writer,' and the reaction would almost instantly be the embarrassing equivalent of booing.
'Oh really?' they'd query smugly. 'How much does that pay?'
Nowadays, it's a completely different story. The script has flipped, with content marketing reigning as king. In fact, content creation and marketing is a multi-billion-dollar industry, and much of it heavily depends on everyday writers who have harnessed their skills and interests to produce blogs, copy, and research worth reading. What's even better, freelance writing offers you the opportunity to build your own career, create your own flexible lifestyle, and get paid lucratively, especially in some niches like business and tech.
And you don't even need to be a professional writer to make money from this skill. You can build experience and a portfolio over time and earn along the way.
Freelance writers enjoy a level of freedom and career satisfaction that most professionals in non-creative industries or in traditional employment can only imagine. Quite a few are even making six figures, earning thousands each month.
There are several compelling reasons you should start writing today:
Note: I do not use ChatGPT or AI tools to generate and write my Forbes articles. I am a strong advocate for being authentic and transparent, and all of the stories and articles you see in my Forbes column are 100% human-written. The use cases provided here are suggestions for helping you make money through writing as a freelance writer, and even for other writing use cases which indirectly lead to revenue in a more efficient way, without full dependency on AI or using it to replace your voice.
Now for the prompts:
You're a copywriter for a marketing agency and your client is a SaaS start-up specializing in CRM software. Create the outline for this 4,000-word SE-optimized article, using this brief [give it your client's brief].
I am a freelance writer and I specialize in [your niche]. I want to pitch [name of client] who operates in [name of industry], so I can guest-write for them. Draft a concise cold pitch email that acknowledges their pain-point and positions me as a solution, without sounding salesy or cheesy. It should end with a CTA.
Give me a series of LinkedIn post ideas to promote my personal brand and service offering, for the next week. The tone is [describe your writing tone and brand voice]
I'm launching a paid newsletter on Medium called [newsletter name]. The theme will be focused on [what your newsletter is about, and include target audience and industry]. Generate some subject ideas for the next 90 days that I can follow loosely. The subject ideas must speak to a specific need that my audience has, and be highly unique, practical and tangible so they'll want to pay to read it.
I've just written a blog and I want you to help me optimize it for SEO, as well as SGE, so it ranks highly in Google search and AI search results. Give me some suggestions on what can be done to improve it before I publish.
I'm writing an in-depth thought leadership piece called [name] for my B2B client [name of client], using research and the latest data to create a white paper-like study, which has the following goals, according to the client [list the goals]. Help me outline and structure each part of this paper, and list some relevant sources for real-time data and stats that I can pull from to make this a solid research-backed study.
This is how you write faster and smarter. Not through using AI to take away your own voice, but through using it strategically to:
Write smarter and faster by using AI to assist with ideation, not to take away your voice
Can you make money writing using ChatGPT?
Yes you can, but only if you don't misuse it. People online are pretty good at detecting a fraud and can sniff when someone has used AI all over their writing, and it's not a positive first impression either. Ensure you genuinely have something of value and in demand to offer.
Do I need to be an experienced writer to make money online?
No you don't. You can make money as a beginner, offering your freelance writing services, and increase your rates as you gain experience.

Amazon eyes ads and upcharges for Alexa Plus
In the week's least surprising news, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy revealed that the company is exploring ways to bring ads to Alexa Plus, its new generative-AI-powered voice assistant. During a conference call following the company's second-quarter earnings report, Jassy said that 'there will be opportunities, as people are engaging in more multiturn conversations [with Alexa Plus], to have advertising play a role to help people find discovery, and also as a lever to drive revenue.' Basically, people will talk more to Alexa, so there will be more ways to push ads at them. He also hinted that Alexa Plus, which is currently free for Prime members but will cost $19.99 a month without Prime, could one day cost more. 'As we keep adding functionality [there] could be some sort of subscription element beyond what there is today,' he said. Considering Amazon's Devices & Services division, which includes Alexa and Echo, has reportedly struggled to make money, Jassy is looking for ways to make its hot new thing, Alexa Plus, more profitable. Charging non-Prime members $20 a month may sound like one way. But who's going to pay $20 when you can spend $15 for Prime and get Alexa Plus, plus all the Prime benefits? Advertising is the obvious path, as ads already exist on Amazon Echo devices with regular Alexa on board. These include full-screen ones on Echo Show smart displays that appear randomly and can't be opted out of. Another way Alexa pushes ads is with its 'By the way' feature, which tacks on suggestions to a response after you've asked something. These often involve encouraging you to buy something from Amazon. When Amazon announced Alexa Plus back in February, I asked head of Devices & Services Panos Panay if 'By the way' and full-screen ads would stick around. 'I don't think a lot of that changes,' he said, adding that advertising models on devices like Echos are designed to keep the costs down for customers. I've been testing Alexa Plus for a few weeks now and haven't seen any ads or received any 'By the ways.' But the assistant is still in an Early Access beta phase, and it sounds like the plan is that this new Alexa will come with new ways to push ads. But I really wish it wasn't. In terms of what that might look like, back in 2022, Amazon said it had developed a Customers Ask Alexa feature that would allow brands to submit their own answers to questions people asked Alexa, such as 'How can I remove pet hair from my carpet?' Alexa Plus, with its chattier, more helpful persona, would be an ideal platform to deliver this type of sponsored result. But that won't cut it if Amazon is going to succeed in making Alexa Plus the 'World's best personal assistant,' which is Jassy's stated goal. Why would anyone choose to use an assistant that is getting paid to push specific products? One of those higher tiers for Alexa Plus Jassy hinted at could be an ad-free version, as TechCrunch first speculated. Amazon did exactly this with Prime Video, creating a higher price, ad-free tier and booting everyone else to ads. But either way, Alexa will really have to prove its worth if we're going to pay for its new capabilities. Based on my initial testing of Alexa Plus, it's not at a point where I can delegate my daily tasks and chores to it, as I would do if I could ever afford to hire a real personal assistant. But the potential is there. There's no doubt that generative AI is going to transform how we use digital voice assistants, and Amazon has a head start. It has actually launched its revamped assistant with more conversational natural language abilities, something neither Apple nor Google seems close to doing. Alexa Plus is also one of the few generative AI-powered services that can take actions in real life. Whether people will be willing to pay for AI features is still being tested. OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and others currently charge for different tiers of access to their more advanced AI-chatbot tools. As an Alexa user for many years, I'd consider paying for a really good Alexa that does what I ask without fail, has all the features Amazon has promised are coming, and never shows me an ad. However, what I know for sure that I don't want, is a chattier AI pushing products at me in my home. Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.

Trade War Turmoil, Rising Unemployment Send Markets Diving
For anyone who was around on 'Liberation Day' in April, market reaction to US President Donald Trump's overnight tariff fusillade —replete with new levies, new targets and new delays —was predictable. But it wasn't just Trump's latest spray of trade threats that sent markets diving to their lowest point in months. As Trump's initial 90-day self-imposed delay of 'reciprocal' tariffs comes to an end, and in the aftermath of gross domestic product data showing the economy slowing, there was fresh bad news for the president on Friday. Grim employment numbers released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) appeared to hammer another nail into the coffin of what had been a few years of record US employment.
