Steps

  1. Open your web browser and go to chatgpt.com. If you do not have an account, sign up for free using your email address.
  2. Look for the text box at the bottom of the screen. This is where you will type your message to the AI.
  3. Copy the prompt template from below and paste it into the text box.
  4. Replace the words inside the curly brackets {like_this} with your own skills, interests, and available time.
  5. Press the send button (the arrow icon) and wait a few seconds for the AI to reply.
  6. Read the ideas the AI gives you. If you want more details about one idea, type a new message saying: 'Tell me more about idea number 2 and how to get the first customer.'
