The Story of How I Aimed for a Monthly Income of 500,000 Yen and Got a Surprising Answer from ChatGPT [Sequel]
This is a record of me, a beginner at AI side hustles, consulting with ChatGPT.
In the previous article I introduced the story of how I created a "500,000 yen monthly income plan" together with Mochiko (ChatGPT).
"I've started a side hustle, but will I really be able to earn money with this...?"
Amidst that uncertainty, a question I suddenly thought to ask Mochiko (ChatGPT) turned out to be—
actuallya "magic prompt." What a miracle 😅
This time, I will introduce an upgraded version of that "magic prompt."
Since it's a prompt customized so that anyone can use it, for example...
"I started a side hustle somewhat aimlessly, but is this really okay?"
"I feel like there's a way that suits me better."
If you have ever felt that way, this prompt will surely be useful. Let's set off on a journey to get
your very own side hustle roadmap! ⛴
The prompt I used (before improvement)
The question I threw at Mochiko was this 👇
10ヶ月以内に私が月収手取り50万円を達成できる方法はある？And then, to my surprise—
it returned a very concrete and realistic side hustle plan.
Here is the exchange when I actually asked Mochiko 👇
I never thought it would return this much from just a single line of prompt...!
Honestly, I was surprised 😳
(If you want to see the whole thing, check the link 📎 at the end of the article!)
Why did such a detailed plan come out with just such a simple prompt?
That is because Mochiko had grasped not only my lifestyle and my strengths and weaknesses, but also my personality and thinking habits.
What kind of work style is impossible for me
What kind of flow allows me to take action
What motivates me
What kind of words resonate
In other words, Mochiko was in a state where she understood "my life data + how I use my brain".
On top of that, because I asked, "
Is there a way for me to achieve a monthly take-home income of 500,000 yen within 10 months?
", Mochiko presented me with a strategy tailored to me, working backward from the goal.
A (refined) prompt to create a concrete plan to achieve your target monthly income
I was curious later, so I checked with Mochiko, and she knew that I had started working on a side hustle and also knew what I was currently doing.
That's why she answered on the premise that "there is a way."
However, she mentioned that if you ask, "
Is there a way?
", the ChatGPT response might end up just being a "yes/no" answer.
So, I have slightly improved the prompt so that anyone can extract a concrete strategy 👇
[Prompt you can copy and paste]
I really want these people to use it 👇
People who want to create a side hustle plan that suits them
People who just want to get their lives back on track
People who are anxious about their future as it is now
People who want to make good use of ChatGPT but don't know how to ask
This is where the real work begins!
It's finally time for the "magic words" 👇
◯ヶ月以内に私が月収手取り◯万円を達成できる方法を教えてください。
あなたがそれを導き出すために必要な事柄があれば、
まずそれを聞いてからプランを立ててください。*Please rewrite the X months/X yen parts to match your own goals 😊
How to use
The best way to use it changes depending on your ChatGPT plan (paid/free) and how you use it.
Please refer to the following and try using it in a way that suits you.
For those on a paid plan (ChatGPT Plus/with memory function)
If you are already using ChatGPT Plus (the paid plan) and have the memory feature turned ON, then
ChatGPT remembers your "goals," "strengths and weaknesses," "progress on your side hustle," and more.
Therefore, if you use the prompt I introduced this time👇 as is, you can smoothly extract a concrete strategy based on your current situation◎
◯ヶ月以内に私が月収手取り◯万円を達成できる方法を教えてください。
あなたがそれを導き出すために必要な事柄があれば、
まずそれを聞いてからプランを立ててください。💡For those who want to increase accuracy even further,
if you add a quick note about your current situation, such as "my daily rhythm has changed recently" or "I've started something new," you will get a roadmap that is even more perfectly suited to you.
For those on the free plan (without the memory feature)
The free plan does not have the ability to retain information across chats.
In other words──
if you have been separating chats by topic, such as "side hustle consultations in this chat" and "life worries in a different chat," then when you throw the "magic prompt" at it,
it cannot cross-reference that information.
But don't worry!
If you keep the conversation going within the same chat, it will properly think based on that context◎
In such cases, I recommend using it in the following steps👇
Create a new chat with ChatGPT (e.g., "For Side Hustle Consultations")
Convey your current situation and wishes as concretely as possible (e.g., "I'm a side hustle beginner and aiming for a monthly income of 100,000 yen," "I'm raising children and can only work for 1 hour a day," etc.)
After that, try throwing in this prompt👇
◯ヶ月以内に私が月収手取り◯万円を達成できる方法を教えてください。
あなたがそれを導き出すために必要な事柄があれば、
まずそれを聞いてからプランを立ててください。By doing this, ChatGPT will take the information from that context and present a strategy that fits your situation.
Something I want to recommend to both types of people
ChatGPT's proposal accuracy changes significantly depending on the information shared on the spot. Therefore, conveying your current situation and goals as concretely as possible
is the key to success!
Even with a one-line prompt, depending on how you use it, you can extract a "strategy just for you"😊
When you are lost with your side hustle, please try using this magic prompt.
Summary | Let's convey "what you want" to AI "concretely"
There is a passage in the Bible that goes like this:
"Ask, and it will be given to you."
ChatGPT is exactly the same.
Rather than asking, "Do you have any side hustle ideas?",
saying, "I want to reach a monthly income of X yen by this date. Tell me how to do that," and
clearly conveying "your wishes and goals" is the key.
If you do that, the AI's answer will change from vague ideas into a "strategy just for you."
Just by asking once,
"Maybe I can actually do this."
That seed of hope might just sprout within you🌱
