ChatGPT Builds This Guy a Website: 2 Days Later, He Sells it for $10k!

I ran across this internet hustle story that is pretty fascinating.

In fact, I was quite involved in the development, so I wanted to share.

Earlier this week, Shawn Hill wanted to build a website where you could ask AI questions and get answers...

But, he didn't know how to build it.

So, he asked ChatGPT.

Here's what he said:

Last night, I asked ChatGPT to help me build a website that uses AI to answer questions. I just followed the steps; I don’t know how to code. 1 hour and 58 minutes later, answersbyai.com was live. Wild.

As you can see from the numbers, that tweet proceeded to go semi-viral!

I noticed the tweet and commented.

Shawn then reached out to me to see if Originality.ai might want to advertise on his new site.

I put him in touch with Jon Gillham, who owns and operates Originality.

I then go to lunch.

By the time I get back I have an email titled..."Originality.ai acquires AnswersByAI.com"

What?!

Wow, that was fast.

So, not only was Shawn able to build his site in 2 hours (thanks to ChatGPT), but he sold it just 2 days later for $10,000 + a bologna sandwich!

(I guess someone offered him half a bologna sandwich in his twitter thread, so Jon offered him a FULL bologna sandwhich + $10k for the site).

What's crazy is the amount of people that are already using AnswersByAI.com!

Here's some traffic that Shawn shared:

Now, that traffic will obviously die down after the buzz wears off...so I'm curious to see what Originality.ai does with the site.

(Although, I think having a site where people ask AI questions is interesting! No login required and ChatGPT won't be free forever...whereas AnswersByAI.com will be...)

So, there's your inspiration for the week!

What will you build and sell next week?!
