I've used this $3 course as a list-building tool for the last year. As of May 2023, I've sold over 800 checklists, many of whom are on my email list.
I'm updating it to a full course, at which time the price will go up.
Depending on your industry, you might be able to sell templates, courses, or apps on AppSumo to bring attention to your brand.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't hop on the ChatGPT craze. This conversational AI writing tool can help you escape the blank page. However, it won't make you an A+ student or an amazing expert — it still needs a human hand to provide helpful content for your customers.
I'll let ChatGPT explain itself:
ChatGPT is designed to generate responses to text prompts in a conversational style, making it well-suited for tasks such as chatbots, conversational agents, and dialogue systems. It can be used to generate responses to questions, carry out conversations, or provide helpful information in real-time.

Take charge and stake your own claim — something posterity will carry in its notebook.— SENECA, MORAL LETTERS, 33.7It’s easier to quote and rely on the wise words of others.
It’s intimidating to venture out and express your own thoughts. Your experiences have value. You have accumulated wisdom. Share your stories.
