So curious to see how monetize will work on this platform (see also StripeGPT) — and how people will feel about GPTs having access to their private data. It's certainly kept me from digging too deep with the existing GPTs.
Here are some rough thoughts on how monetization of GPTs will play out in the next few months:
1. OpenAI GPT revenue sharing program
Most obvious candidate is the OpenAI revenue sharing program. They officially state "As a first step, US builders will be paid based on user engagement with their GPTs." source. I wouldn't personally expect this to have mindblowing numbers starting out giving OpenAI's reputation of new launches.
2. Sponsorships
GPT creators with high engagement will likely get contacted by sponsors to have sponsored posts or messages within their prompts. I predict we're about to see an increase of this over the next few months.
3. Affiliate Marketing
GPT creators can easily create specialized GPTs linking to specific products with an affiliate link giving them anywhere from 5% -> 40% of each sale.
4. Lead generation
Collecting emails of GPT users is another method to generate value by monetizing an email list using email marketing in the traditional sense.
btw - i'm building a suite of GPT creator tools to help monetize their GPTs more effectively starting with lead generation. If you're interested in monetizing your GPTs, come check it out (chatcollect.com)
@chrismessina I'm launching my own tool that helps with monetization. Creators can charge per chat and can keep 100% of the profits, and can also share it with anyone (not just plus members) :)
@chrismessina I think monetization is the big question, and the engagement-based revenue share model announcement teased yesterday is not what many people hoped for.
I just posted a long form look at how the business model might evolve and how else builders could monetize and consider the wider business model opportunities: https://tractiondesign.substack....
Over 3 million GPTs are readily available. That's one impressive number, especially when you consider the span of time since the GPTs announcement and this.

@aaronoleary given anyone and everyone could create one with little or no effort I would say there is 2,999,995 junk ones.
@dale_hurley Good point. I'd be curious to the level of quality. Wonder if there will be a more stringent approval process based on it for the store in the future.
You can monetize your GPTs by adding ads to the conversation. Have a look at https://adintelli.ai.

@adcent Thank you for the recommendation. I tried it, and it was straightforward to integrate. Now, I'm looking forward to seeing if any income comes in.
Millions of GPTs are already available, impressive numbers. Interested in the revenue model for GPTs developers. Try GPTs for Python and tell me your opinion: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-7ytG...

I think this is amazing, definitely gonna try :)

Super excited and already wondering how @maddiesimens & the OpenAi team will solve the quality issue that App Store & Play Store were facing - it's already getting crowded and hard to understand how well build or complex custom GPTs are. Have e.g. started asking GPTs to give me an assessment of how well they are build 😃
