I was asked to help automate a process for a fellow marketer. Essentially this involves getting data from a spreadsheet and pasting it into a form which is then submitted. In terms of programming this is a fairly simple process, except in this case. The process involves logging into a website first, navigating to the form which happens to be dynamic. What that means is that as data is pasted the form changes. Some things need to be pasted in in a particular order or it doesn’t work. There is an excellent tool built into every Mac which very few people use that is designed to automate things. I haven’t used it before so I decided to use ChatGPT to help speed up my learning curve. Wow, did it ever speed things up. In a matter of days I had a working automation from scratch. The code ChatGPT created was a little clumsy, but it did work. I had to guide it a bit as I discovered more about what was required, but I think that someone with no previous coding knowledge could have done the same. Maybe not as fast, but by reporting errors and asking for instructions on how to use the code they would have got there. I can’t tell you the person’s name or the website I was doing the work on, but I can tell you that I’m guessing that he’s making between $15k – $30k per month for doing about two hours ‘work’. My automation will reduce that to about 1/2 hour. What he has done is brilliant, under-the-radar, and highly profitable. It’s simple, requires no technical knowledge, and is essentially a copy paste task. All this to prove to you that making money online does not have to be hard or complicated. All you need to do is find a problem people have and solve it for them. When you do that well they will pay you for it. Using the keyword “How to” in this tool, https://go.wm-tips.com/insight, will show you all the things people want to know how to do. Find one that has very little competition and that could be your $30k per month gold mine. Regards, |
