I’m sorry.
I’ve neglected you over the last several months.
At one point I had actually decided that I would put my efforts into the 5 Bucks a Day Skool community rather than also attempt to keep this newsletter afloat.
But a strange thing happened.
Instead of all the paying members cancelling their subscriptions here, most have continued to pay.
And for that I am very grateful, and very sorry that I’ve neglected you, if you’ve been paying with some expectations of my contributions here.
I’ve also been working, as many of you know, on proving that creation of and marketing of and using of custom GPTs were a viable thing.
At one point I started saying and believing that custom GPT creation was a goldmine.
I believed it then.
I believe it even more so now.
They can be the perfect 5 Bucks a Day income stream.
An idea or a PLR file or a product you’ve created can be turned into a companion product, or basically an online coach designed to help someone achieve a result that a product promises.
Many of us, myself included, are privy to buying or seemingly investing in what I call “bright shiny objects”, which essentially are info products where the creator, on his or her sales page, leads you to believe that if you do what they talk about, you can earn money, sometimes fortunes.
It seldom works out that way, and one reason is that you lose focus on what you are currently doing to make real money by looking down at the bright shiny objects in the roadway, which diverts your attention.
Granted, if you were to fully focus on the new BSO, you might have great results. But few do that.
And then a few days or a week later, there’s another one, and another one, and another one.
So, what has happened is that the first BSO has been forgotten. You read the PDF or you watched the videos once, and then went on with whatever you were doing before, or to the next BSO.
You forgot. You lost track.
A companion GPT helps avoid the forgetting.
You access it, it asks you a few questions. It gives you a plan or roadmap, and assuming you come back to it later with your initial results, it helps you continue down the path, or perhaps choose a fork in the road.
The companion GPT multiplies the value of the original info product by many times… assuming you use it, of course.
But it is easier to use than it is to reread the PDF or rewatch the videos.
Anyway, I sort of digressed.
I have been building these custom GPTs almost exclusively for the last few months, and marketing them, as well as distributing them on a weekly basis to members of the Earn1KaDay Skool community.

I also have created some that I use internally which helps me in some way. Some of those I will eventually market, but for now they have been very powerful in helping me grow my business.
I have also been creating custom GPTs for use as bonuses when promoting affiliate products.
The difference in results from those promos, compared to a promo without a bonus, or a promo with a regular PDF bonus, have been spectacularly better.
I’ve tested. I’ve tracked. The results have been real.
In fact, over the last 3 full months, income almost exclusively from the marketing or use of GPTs as bonuses has been over $25,000. That’s on top of other income from other sources.
We talk here about 5 bucks a day income streams. A typical 5BAD project takes a week to complete, and ideally yields a $5/day income stream on an ongoing basis.
Typically, creating a custom GPT might take a few minutes, another hour or so to have A.I. create a sales page and load it up to your server or WordPress site, along with an image or two, and you’re ready to go.
Or even better, create a bonus GPT and a graphic in maybe 15 minutes, then write a promo email offering it in exchange for your followers buying an affiliate product through your link.
15 minutes.
The first time I did that, after sending out a promo without a bonus, and making 0 sales… after creating the bonus GPT and announcing it in the next email, sales started coming in and total commissions were over $1000.
Plus an affiliate prize.
That wasn’t a one-off event either. Though not all promos earn $1000, most earn at least a few hundred, or five hundred, or more.
So then I decided to see how well marketing the Book to Bot System would be received. So far, during one week, sales were over $7000.
Then I decided to take things a step further. I imagined and created the Bonus Bot Builder, which didn’t need a PDF as input. Rather it just needed a URL to a sales page.
From that one parameter, it creates up to 3 separate custom GPTs and matching images.
I’ll begin, or began if you are reading this later, selling that on June 24th, and expect sales to surpass the Book to Bot Builder, because there are far more affiliates than there are product creators, or even wannabe product creators.
I’ll report on how that goes in a later issue of this newsletter.
As a bonus to paying members, and as thanks for remaining loyal, I’ll drop a link to access the Book to Bot System behind the paywall.
So, I started this issue by mentioning my absence, and saying I was sorry. I fully intend to get back to a regular schedule of publishing these thoughts.
Ideally I’ll publish every Friday, give or take a day. Maybe Thursday depending on what’s going on. Maybe Saturday.
And paying members will get something neat with every issue as well.
It will probably be either a GPT companion to do something important for your business, or maybe something fun. Or a prompt pack or a cheatsheet or checklist or some other download.
You don’t have to go from free to paid, but I appreciate you if you do.
Now, for that link to the Book to Bot System, currently selling for $97 on Warrior Plus.
It includes the GPT itself and the user guide.
