How I Use ChatGPT Like a Secret Digital Weapon (And You Should Too)
written by Allison Santana 5/2/2025
Let me put you on game real quick:
ChatGPT is not just some fancy AI chatbot.
It’s my secret weapon. My idea machine. My unpaid (but highly productive) assistant who never needs coffee breaks or PTO.
If you’re out here trying to create and sell digital products, but find yourself staring at a blank screen like it personally offended you, this is the post you need.
Let’s break down how you can turn ChatGPT into your ride-or-die content partner for your digital products business 👇🏾
💡 1. Idea Generation on Steroids
Stuck trying to figure out what kind of product to create?
ChatGPT can give you 50 niche-specific ideas in 30 seconds.
Want a planner for busy moms? A Canva template for content creators? A mini-course for side hustlers?
Ask, tweak, repeat.
Hack: Tell ChatGPT your niche, your audience’s biggest pain point, and ask:
“Give me 10 digital product ideas that solve this problem fast.”
✍🏾 2. Workbook & E-book Writing Assistant
If writing isn’t your jam, welcome to the club.
ChatGPT helps you outline your entire workbook, craft engaging section headers, and even write journal prompts, tips, and reflections.
Hack: Feed it your topic and say:
“Help me outline a 10-page workbook for [X topic] with engaging copy, journal prompts, and actionable tips.”
It’ll spit out a structure that makes you look like you’ve been doing this for years.
📢 3. Sales Copy That Sells Without Sounding Sleazy
Whether you’re launching on Stan Store, Gumroad, or your own site, ChatGPT helps you write spicy product descriptions, CTAs, and email campaigns that convert without sounding like an infomercial.
Hack:
Ask:
“Write a compelling, persuasive sales page for my [X product], include objections, benefits, and a strong call to action.”
Bonus: Add your tone (“sassy but honest” or “clear and encouraging”) so it sounds like YOU.
📱 4. Social Media Content Machine
Running out of content ideas? Use ChatGPT to create post captions, reels scripts, carousels, and even TikTok Live talking points.
Hack:
Feed it one of your products and ask:
“Give me 5 viral-style hooks for a reel about this product.”
or
“Write a short, funny Threads post about struggling to finish your first digital product.”
You’ll never have to say “IDK what to post today” again.
🛠️ 5. Templates & Toolkits
Creating templates? ChatGPT can help with:
Canva copy (section titles, prompts, etc.)
Google Sheets formulas for trackers or planners
PDF content for journals, checklists, guides
Hack:
“Write a 7-day self-reflection challenge for a printable PDF journal.”
Boom. Instant value.
💁🏽♀️ 6. Market Research Without the Spiral
You don’t need to scroll TikTok for 3 hours “doing research.”
You can ask ChatGPT to:
Analyze competitors
Identify your target audience’s top struggles
Suggest trending digital product types in your niche
Hack:
“What are 5 problems online coaches are currently facing that I could solve with a low-ticket digital product?”
This gives you data-backed direction without the burnout.
ChatGPT Doesn’t Replace You, It Amplifies You
This tool doesn’t make you less creative. It makes you more efficient.
You still bring the soul, the style, the story. ChatGPT just helps you package it faster, cleaner, and with less mental chaos.
Think of it like this:
You’re the visionary. ChatGPT is the intern who types 100 words per minute, never complains, and somehow “gets” your voice.
And if you’re still not using it for your digital product business?
Whew. You’re working too hard!
