Green Gadget Guru

Green Gadget Guru started with a thought. Many moons ago Jackson Greathouse Fall asked ChatGPT how to turn $100 in to many more dollars. Chat came up with a list (unsure if it did, but it does if you ask it. It doesn't state one specific thing unless you drill down to that thing). For example. I typed in the same thing: "I have $100. How do I turn that into much more? It has to be an online business?". Heres the response (italics and bold added by me):

"Turning $100 into much more through an online business is a feasible goal, but it's important to approach it with realistic expectations and an understanding that building a successful business takes time and effort. Here are some ideas to consider:

Freelancing Services: Offer your skills on freelancing platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, or Freelancer. Depending on your expertise (writing, graphic design, programming, etc.), you can offer services to clients.
Dropshipping:Start an e-commerce store using a dropshipping model. This involves selling products without holding any inventory. When a customer makes a purchase, the product is shipped directly from the supplier to the customer.
Affiliate Marketing: Build a niche website or blog and promote products through affiliate marketing. You earn a commission for every sale made through your unique affiliate link.
Online Courses or Ebooks: If you have expertise in a specific field, create and sell online courses or ebooks. Platforms like Udemy, Teachable, or Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing can be used for distribution.
Social Media Management: Offer social media management services to small businesses or individuals looking to enhance their online presence. This could include creating content, scheduling posts, and managing advertising campaigns.
Digital Marketing Services: Offer digital marketing services such as SEO, content marketing, or social media marketing to businesses looking to improve their online visibility.
Stock Photography: If you're skilled at photography, you can sell your photos to stock photo websites like Shutterstock or Adobe Stock.
Virtual Assistance: Provide virtual assistance services to busy professionals or businesses. Tasks may include email management, scheduling, and data entry.
Create and Sell Apps: If you have programming skills, consider creating a mobile app or a software product. You can sell it on app stores or through your website.
Online Consultation: Offer consulting services in your area of expertise. This could be business consulting, career coaching, or any field where you have knowledge and experience."

Thats it. You have to pick one and then ask Chat more questions.

It is also worthy to note that Jackson is also the owner of branding and web design companies. So wouldnt it be more useful to go into "social media management" as one of the topics?. Therefore it seems to me, may not be, that Jackson wants to "promote" his services and to create a buzz. It certainly did happen because all this was picked up by large media companies that ran with the story.

So what happened?

Jackson created Green Gadget Guru and created a website that was worth $1378. So it didnt generate this amount of money, the site is worth this (probable because of the amount of backlinks etc generated from the Chat campaign). And now?

The site is down.

But when we have a look at the website (this can only be done through wayback machine) we can see that it is:

nicely spaced out
?10,000 email subscribers
good branding colours
only has one article?
5 categories- which don't go anywhere when you click on them
supposed to be an affiliate site- but no affiliate products. But, is it meant to be a site that is just there for someone else to flesh out? So you are selling a website?

I am assuming everything. People say that the site had links. That Jackson asked Chat what to do. Well, assuming that the website is not an affiliate website but a website that could be an affiliate website. The website is worth over $1K probably due to the amount of press that it received. Could you normally sell a website with nothing within it for $1k, probably not.

Green Gadget Guru improvements

ChatGPT tells you, at the present time, what is already known but compresses it into a digestible way. It also does things quicker. The 10 things that can make more than $100 are well known, you dont need Chat to tell you that.

But drilling down to ask chat how, how and how is the better way. But even then, it will tell you what is already known.

But going off what we can see, the website is poor to sell anything:

Icons. All the icons are either a green bag or a green t-shirt. Home and Garden? T-shirt, office supplies? T-shirt. Now none are logo'd. None either have the idea of having their category on the t-shirt. That would be a change.
Article. The one article that is online is at the top. This isn't an article selling site. So your featured/ best selling etc should be at the top and above the fold of the page.
Some side use. The page is nice, don't get me wrong, but does art make people buy over substance? I doubt it. If your page had utilised the main page better then you would see more items for sale, flash sales, best bought etc. Social status would be closer to the top or on the side. A search would be in there. A popup for the email subscription or one at the top would be helpful. You are selling to customers and trying to retain them.

We could go on and on about using pictures, how-tos, video (which are researched to do well with affiliate sites), but nothing here. However, does Chat know this?

Chat and Green Gadget Guru

Chat does, but you have to ask it.

So I did. I asked it "how can this be done with affiliate marketing". Following on with the question from the top of this page. Chat lists the following:

Choose a niche
research affiliate partners
build a platform
create quality content
join affiliate programs
promote affiliate products
build an email list
optimise for SEO
track.

So shall we ask about build a platform? So I ask "how do we build a blog with this in mind?. Its answer (I have deleted the ones past join an affiliate program becuase it is a repeat of the top points):

Choose a Niche:
Domain and Hosting: Choose a domain name that reflects your niche and is easy to remember. Select a reliable hosting provider to ensure your blog is accessible and loads quickly.
Set Up Your Blog: Use a content management system (CMS) like WordPress to set up your blog. WordPress is user-friendly and offers numerous plugins and themes to customize your site.
Select a Responsive Design: Choose a responsive and mobile-friendly design for your blog. Many users access content on mobile devices, so it's crucial that your blog looks good and functions well on various screen sizes.
Install Essential Plugins: Install plugins that enhance the functionality and security of your blog. Consider plugins for SEO (e.g., Yoast SEO), social sharing, and performance optimization.
Create High-Quality Content: Start creating content that provides value to your audience. This could include product reviews, how-to guides, and informative articles related to your niche. Optimize your content for search engines to attract organic traffic.
Join Affiliate Programs: Sign up for affiliate programs relevant to your niche. Once approved, you'll receive unique affiliate links that you can incorporate into your blog posts.

Again these are known variables. Especially when Chat says "its crucial that your blog looks good"- not too deep or helpful :)

So we ask, "what makes high quality content". I have removed the meanings to each because there was no depth in their content but left the first "definition" to show you what I mean:

Relevance: Content should be relevant to your audience's interests, needs, and concerns. Understanding your target audience is crucial for creating content that resonates with them.
Value
Accuracy
Clarity
Engaging
Originality
Well-Researched
Visual Appeal
SEO Optimization
Readability
Consistency
Interactivity
In-depth Coverage
Mobile-Friendly
Call to Action (CTA)

Again, there is no depth. What would be an article length defined by Google? What does well-researched mean- does that include video, pictures etc? It never states. But what has come up again is SEO. So lets dig further into this.

"How would you make an article optimal?"

Keyword Research: Identify relevant keywords for your article. Use tools like Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, or Ahrefs to find keywords with a good balance of search volume and competition.
Focus Keyword: Choose a primary keyword (focus keyword) that best represents the main topic of your article. This should be a term that your target audience is likely to search for.
Title Optimization: Include your focus keyword in the title of your article. Craft a compelling and clickable title that accurately reflects the content.
Meta Description: Write a concise and compelling meta description that includes your focus keyword. The meta description should provide a brief summary of what the article is about and encourage users to click.
URL Structure: Create a clean and readable URL structure. Include your focus keyword in the URL, and avoid unnecessary symbols or numbers.
Header Tags: Use header tags (H1, H2, H3, etc.) to structure your content. The H1 tag should contain the main title and subsequent header tags can be used to break down content into sections. Include your focus keyword in at least one of the header tags.
Keyword Placement: Naturally incorporate your focus keyword throughout the article, especially in the first paragraph. Use variations of the keyword to make the content more natural.
Quality Content: Focus on creating high-quality, valuable content. Google rewards content that satisfies user intent. Ensure your article provides comprehensive information, answers questions, and adds value to your audience.
Optimize Images: Use descriptive filenames for your images and include alt text that contains your focus keyword. This not only helps with SEO but also improves accessibility.
Internal and External Links: Include relevant internal links to other pages on your website. Additionally, link to reputable external sources to provide further context and credibility. Ensure that the anchor text (linked text) is descriptive.
Mobile-Friendly Design: Ensure that your article is mobile-friendly. Google prioritizes mobile-friendly content in its rankings.
Page Loading Speed: Optimize your page loading speed. Users and search engines prefer fast-loading pages. Compress images, use browser caching, and consider a Content Delivery Network (CDN).
Social Media Integration: Encourage social sharing by including social media buttons or sharing options. Social signals can indirectly impact your SEO.
User Experience: Prioritize a positive user experience. Make sure your website is easy to navigate, and the content is well-presented. A good user experience can contribute to higher rankings.
Regular Updates: Keep your content up-to-date. Google tends to favor fresh and relevant content. Periodically revisit and update your articles, especially if there have been changes in your industry or if new information is available.
Schema Markup: Consider using schema markup to provide additional information to search engines about the content of your article. This can enhance the appearance of your search results.
Encourage Comments: Encourage user engagement by allowing and responding to comments. User-generated content can contribute to the overall relevance and depth of your page.

Not much detail. What is the page loading speed? What is the keyword placement through the article? You have to dig down each one to find out more.

I asked about the plugins. The main one was Yoast, JetPack, Analytics and back up plugins. Again, these are well known.

Chat and articles?

ChatGPT is very good at creating articles but you have to edit them to make them flow a little bit more for the audience you have. You might need to add more information, but if you are churning out articles for general content or use it as your job as a freelancer? Then ChatGPT can be very useful especially to reduce the time in creating such articles.

Some people have been using Chat for code work and seeing how code can be made/ extensions/ apps created. These are cool but they come with a flaw. If you don't know how to update or tweak then a coded product can be a pain. People have different system, things can get hacked and you need to keep your product upto date.

Art is cool, especially if you are using it for Tshirts/ mugs etc- then a quick Chat Image AI can be very helpful

For a website creation? It is good if you know the building blocks so that you can drill down Chat and ask it for more information.
