Everything you'll learn in this video is for entertainment purposes only. And any attempts to make money with it will be at your own risk.
Since I was a kid, the idea of reading minds and predicting the future has always intrigued me. So I want you to pause the video for a second and pick a number between one and five. Now, it's much harder to read minds virtually, but I'd say you've picked number three. And what really blew my mind is discovering that people are making millions of dollars claiming they can predict your future or your love life. Just a few bucks. And whether you believe this stuff or not, these listings are getting crazy amounts of sales. So I decided to test it out for myself and ordered one of these services. But that got me thinking. Can I do the same with AI to make money? And if I can, is it even legal? Because believe me when I say they make crazy money, this isn't a prediction. In fact, there are so many of these stores that I don't even know where to begin. This Amanda store, for example, is the biggest one in this niche. It is made over $6.9 million in revenue, but since it's been up since 2014, I do not think it's a fair example. So instead, take a look at this one, which is only nine months old. It has earned over $200,000 in revenue and now generating $22,000 per month. This listing alone is bringing in $16,000. All you have to do is provide your name, age, gender, and relationship status, and you'll get Julia's very detailed blind tarot reading. Five bucks. The demand for this listing is honestly crazy, and the number of daily reviews it gets is proof. I mean, look at this other listing. Over 112 people bought this in the last 24 hours. Isn't that crazy? And if I had to mention every other store making money in this niche, I'd probably need another hour. All of this got my mind racing with ideas about using AI to start a similar business. But first, I needed to understand how it all works. So I went ahead and purchased Julia's very detailed tarot reading, which claims to be the best way to get insight and advice to guide me on my path. And that's exactly what happened. Now, even though it says same hour reading, it actually took Julia around 10 hours to deliver the service. But hey, I get it. Calculating how much money I'll make in the future is tough. Plus, figuring out how many copycats I've inspired will be impossible. Anyway, Julia sent me a PDF to download, and inside it was a detailed tarot reading. She included interpretations of different tarot cards, each giving insights into different areas of my future. Emotions, relationships, and responsibilities. But to be fair, as someone who's never done a tarot reading before, I found it pretty general. And honestly, it could fit any of you watching. Like, for example, the 10 of Wands card suggests that I may feel overwhelmed or burdened by too many responsibilities or commitments. Now, while that's actually true for me at the moment, since I'm preparing something big for you guys, I'm sure it could apply to a lot of you as well. And what really caught my eye was the disclaimer at the end, stating that this reading is purely for fun and shouldn't be taken seriously. It seems Etsy requires sellers to include this, which makes sense because legally they have to cover themselves. But overall, I have to say, it was definitely interesting to read. But what's even more interesting is the idea I've come up with to start this business using AI. So I want you to pay close attention. If we take a look at the most popular listings, there's one thing they all have in common, and that's the personal connection. Amanda, Karina, Elena, Laura, Saira. Every listing has a person behind it, which helps build trust and makes people more likely to buy from them. So this means if we want to offer similar services, we'll need a person to represent our brand as well. But as you know, this could be challenging because we are using AI but not for me. Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Selena, the tarot reading specialist with over 25 years of experience. But Selena isn't like anyone you've met before, because she actually doesn't exist. Using ChatGPT, I crafted a detailed avatar for a tarot reading specialist. It provided everything we needed. Name, age, facial features, expression. Creating a complete profile for our character. But I didn't stop there, as I used Midjourney to bring Selena to life in a stunningly realistic photograph. And to complete the illusion, I crafted a series of consistent images of Selena set against the backdrop of mystical tarot reading. So now, with our brand fully created, we're ready to start building our Etsy listing from here. So I took another look at the competitors and noticed that the style, with a specialist image and text on top, performs the best. And if you've been following me, you know I always recommend using what's already working instead of reinventing the wheel. So, with my modest experience with Canva, I created our listing images. On the first image, I put Selena's photo with the text detailed blind reading. I also made it transparent that we're using AI so it doesn't feel like we're scamming anyone. And I think saying this might have a positive impact as it's something new to this niche. Next, we have the how it Works image, which breaks down the simple process so customers can feel confident about buying our service. And finally, I added a disclaimer clearly stating that we use AI and this service is for fun and should not be taken seriously. And in under 10 minutes, the listing was live on Etsy and Selena was ready to start accepting orders. And honestly, I was quite nervous because at that point I wasn't sure if anyone would actually buy the service. And even if they did, I still had no idea how I was going to do the tarot reading until I heard that sound. This is unbelievable. Selena got her first sale in under 48 hours. I honestly wasn't expecting that at all because things usually don't happen that quickly, but I think the high demand right now played a big role. But things didn't stop there because a couple of hours later I got another order. So I knew at that point that I had to find a solution to fulfill these orders. So what I did was something crazy. I turned Selena into a custom GPT that delivers detailed tarot readings with just one click. All we need to do is provide some basic info and the bot draws the cards and provides all the necessary details. And now that I've solved the reading issue, I can finally deliver my orders. But honestly, you should always aim for recurring customers and a PDF filled with busy text like the one we got doesn't seem appealing to me. So I went to Canva and designed my own delivery template from scratch, which as you can see, looks much more professional and fun to read. And for a limited time only, both the custom GPT and Canva template are available for you you to check out through the link in the description. So at this point, everything was clear to me. After we receive an order, we open the GPT and click on Start. As you can see, the bot will ask for information like name, age, gender and relationship status. So we will copy the information our customer provided and input it into the bot. And in seconds the bot will do the tarot reading based on this info. As you can see see, we have the detailed reading and the card images. After that we simply copy everything into our custom Canva template. So we change the text and images and create a high quality, visually appealing delivery file. And at this point, I was ready to complete my orders, but instead, I decided to refund the money because until now, I'm not sure is this even legal?
