The 14-Year-Old Who Makes $3K/Month With ChatGPT

His mom thought he was gaming for 6 hours a day.

He was running 4 AI businesses.

Last week, I interviewed this kid (let's call him Alex) after his Twitter thread went insanely viral.

His October revenue: $3,247
His age: 14
His secret: He uses ChatGPT like nobody else I've seen.

And no, he's not dropshipping or doing crypto.

The Strategy That Shouldn't Work (But Does)

Alex doesn't create content.

He creates systems that create content.

While his classmates use ChatGPT to cheat on homework, he built:

  • A study guide business ($1,200/month)

  • A YouTube thumbnail service ($800/month)

  • A newsletter ghost-writing service ($750/month)

  • An AI prompt pack store ($497/month)

His total time investment per week: 4 hours.

Here's exactly how he did it.

The "Assembly Line" Method

Business #1: StudyBuddy AI ($1,200/month)

He doesn't write study guides. ChatGPT does.

His prompt sequence:

  1. "Turn this textbook chapter [paste] into a 10-question practice test"

  2. "Now create detailed answer explanations like a patient tutor"

  3. "Make a one-page visual summary with memory tricks"

  4. "Generate 5 essay questions with grading rubrics"

Price: $15 per guide
Time to create: 8 minutes
Monthly customers: 80

His edge? He's actually IN high school. He knows what students need.

Business #2: Thumbnail Thursday ($800/month)

Every Thursday, he sends YouTubers 5 thumbnail ideas.

The system:

"Channel: [name] Last 10 videos: [titles] Best performer: [title + views] Create 5 thumbnail concepts for their next video about [topic] Include: Text overlay, color psychology, emotional hook"

ChatGPT prompt

Then he uses Canva's AI to mock them up.

16 clients × $50/month = $800

Business #3: Newsletter Ghost ($750/month)

He writes three newsletters. Never reads them.

His ChatGPT setup:

  • Fed it 50 top newsletters in each niche

  • Created a "voice profile" for each client

  • Built templates for different content types

Monday: Generates all newsletters
Tuesday: Clients approve
Wednesday: Scheduled and done

3 clients × $250/month = $750

Business #4: The Prompt Store ($497/month)

This one's genius.

He finds what's trending on Twitter/LinkedIn.
Tests 20 variations in ChatGPT.
Packages the best 5 as a template pack.

Last month's winner: "Interview Prep Prompt Pack"
Sales: 71 copies at $7 each

The "14-Year-Old Advantage" Nobody Talks About

Alex told me something that stuck:

"Adults overthink everything. They want perfect systems, fancy tools, complex funnels. I just want to make money for gaming gear."

His entire tech stack:

  • ChatGPT Plus ($20)

  • Canva Free

  • Stripe (his mom's account)

  • Gmail

That's it. $20/month in costs.

The Daily Routine That Prints Money

Monday (1 hour):

  • Generate all content for the week

  • Queue everything up

Thursday (2 hours):

  • Send thumbnail concepts

  • Handle customer requests

  • Update prompt packs

Sunday (1 hour):

  • Check numbers

  • Message clients

  • Plan next week

4 hours. $3,247.

His hourly rate is $812.

He's 14.

The Prompts He Guards Like Gold

Alex wouldn't share exact prompts, but he gave me the framework:

The Skeleton Method:

  1. "Act as [specific expert] with [specific experience]"

  2. "You're creating for [exact audience] who wants [specific outcome]"

  3. "Here's an example of perfect output: [paste example]"

  4. "Now create [specific thing] about [topic]"

  5. "Make it [specific style/tone/length]"

Then iterate:

  • "Better hook"

  • "More specific"

  • "Add proof"

  • "Simpler language"

  • "Now 50% shorter"

What Alex Taught Me

I've been overcomplicating AI for years.

Building complex workflows.
Buying expensive tools.
Writing elaborate prompts.

This kid just... does the thing.

No courses. No mentors. No venture capital.

Just ChatGPT and the audacity to charge money for solutions.

Your Move

Look, I'm not saying quit your job and compete with 14-year-olds.

But if a kid can make $3K/month in 4 hours a week...

What's your excuse?

Pick ONE thing you know well.
Find people who need help with it.
Use ChatGPT to scale yourself.
Charge money.

It's literally that simple.

We just convinced ourselves it's not.
