In this week's dive into 'Think Outside the Inbox'… spark your money-making ideas in the Money Crumbs section; learn how to bring your ideas to life using AI; and find your creative groove alongside a clever digital companion.

But first…

WELCOME TO…

where we teach you how to take advantage of the AI hype with practical advice, ideas, & automation magic.

Open it up!

The AI industry is expected to hit USD 2,575.16 billion by 2032. Let’s get us some of those crumbs…

Co-create your own merch with AI

Transform your brand's uniqueness into wearable art.

Use image generators like Midjourney or Leonardo.AI to craft one-of-a-kind branded merchandise that tells your story, vibrantly.

Don’t have a brand? Jump into a brainstorming session with ChatGPT and together, define your colors, imagery or quotes, and overall vibe.

Create your merch, set up your online shop on Etsy or, if you have an existing audience, on Shopify or natively on social media.

And voila! You now have an extra source of income.

Are your best ideas going down the drain during your shower? Use AI to make them a reality instead.

Use this simple automation to go from idea to actionable steps. Here’s how to conjure this reality using Zapier + ChatGPT:

1. ChatGPT Plugin: Set up your Zapier plugin inside ChatGPT

2. Set up Zapier: Go to your Zapier account & make sure you have your housekeeping done, like hooking up a task management system.

3. Brainstorm: Have a conversation with ChatGPT about your idea. Iron out the details, find the plotholes, and define what the tasks will be for this project.

   Pro-Tip: make sure you’re using the Plugins window in ChatGPT.

4. Map it!: Once you have a clear picture, ask the AI to create the tasks on Trello using Zapier.

Now you have a clearly defined map to take your idea to action.

… to have an AI that could tune into your mood via text or voice tone, and could curate personalized playlists to match or elevate your spirits?

The best way to learn how to use AI is to start using it.

Prompts and prompt engineering are definitely important, but sometimes you gotta just chat with the thing and see what it can do.

So, for this dare, we’re going to do a brainstorming session with ChatGPT (or Poe or Claude or whatever you want to use).

Write out your idea in stream of concsiousness style and let the AI expand on it. Keep chatting with it, asking questions, and voila, you're on a creative spree with a digital brainstorm buddy.

That’s all for today, folks.

See ya next week.

Until then, stay curious. 😉
