Welcome to AI Paycheck, the show where we find real ways to make real money with AI. In this episode, host Raje sits down with content monetization expert Derek Pantera to reveal a sizzling side hustle that’s literally cooking up cash: building profitable recipe blogs and niche meal plans using ChefGPT!

Forget theory. This is about action. Derek breaks down how you can leverage AI, like GPT-4 or Claude, to act as your personal "sous-chef" and content writer, helping you generate income by creating digital assets faster than ever before. It's simple, but it requires a systematic approach to win.

Here's what you'll learn in this incredibly practical episode:

• Mastering the Niche: Discover why a general "food blog" is a recipe for disaster. Learn to niche down until it hurts, focusing on specific problems for specific people. Derek provides examples like "Keto recipes for busy single dads" and explains how to find profitable niches by assessing passion, competition, and audience pain points on platforms like Reddit and Facebook.
• AI-Powered Content Strategy: Don't just ask for a recipe! Derek shares his powerful first prompt to ChefGPT: acting as an expert content strategist, generate a 3-month content calendar with 25 blog post ideas that solve common audience problems like lack of time or variety. This lays your foundation.
• Crafting Engaging Blog Posts: Learn how to use AI to write excellent first drafts of blog posts, like "10 Vegetarian Slow Cooker Meals for Your Busiest Weeknights." Crucially, you'll understand why you are the editor—adding your human touch, voice, and personal anecdotes is what makes your content truly shine and helps it rank on Google.
• Monetizing with Niche Meal Plans: The blog is just the top of the funnel! The real money, the passive income, comes from creating and selling niche meal plans. Derek explains how to offer a free sample (your blog post) and then offer a paid product, such as "The Ultimate Monthly Vegetarian Slow Cooker Meal Plan".
• Creating Meal Plans with AI: Get the exact kind of prompt to use for ChefGPT to generate a comprehensive 4-week meal plan, including 7 dinners per week, categorized shopping lists, and Sunday prep guides, all formatted professionally for a PDF guide.
• Selling Your Digital Products: Discover the best strategies for turning traffic into sales. Build an email list by offering a freebie, then email your audience about your paid meal plan. Learn about platforms like Gumroad or SendOwl for easy payment and delivery, and how to price your digital products between $15 and $40, especially when solving a painful problem.
• Google and AI Content: Address the "elephant in the room." Google rewards helpful content, regardless of how it's created. The key is to use AI as a tool to create well-structured, edited content that serves a real audience, adding your expertise and human touch.
• Final Tips for Success: Derek’s actionable advice for starting your ChefGPT side hustle this week includes niching down, starting with a clear content strategy, always thinking about the product, and being consistent with your content.
