GPTs as a Side Hustle: How To Make Money From AI Without Coding

In the generative AI era, one of the most exciting opportunities for a side hustle is building custom GPTs in the OpenAI Store that generate passive income. Whether you’re a developer, tech enthusiast, content creator, or just someone fascinated by AI, there’s a growing opportunity to turn GPTs into a profitable side hustle — and the best part? No coding required.

Why GPTs are the Future of Side Hustles

Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a buzzword — it’s becoming part of everyday life. From writing emails and tutoring students to offering legal templates or business advice, AI is making our lives easier and better when it comes to work, study, and play.

We first saw the rise of general AI tools like ChatGPT go mainstream, and now the demand for niche, personalised AI apps is exploding. This opens the door for creators to build all kinds of specialised AI assistants called custom GPTs, for example:

• A specialised study assistant for the IB’s Theory of Knowledge course
• An improv buddy for actors
• A korean fortune-telling app

The applications are endless. If you can think of a helpful AI solution, chances are there are people out there willing to use it — and pay for it.

The Problem: Creating GPTs Doesn’t Equal Making Money

While many developers and AI hobbyists are already building powerful GPTs in the OpenAI Store, most don’t see any financial return. Why? Because monetising GPTs is still a challenge. OpenAI still hasn’t rolled out usage-based revenue share and they do not offer an easy built-in way to charge users for custom GPTs.

That’s where we come in.

Introducing GPT Tools by Top Road

GPT Tools is a plug-and-play, no-code action that enables you to track analytics, authenticate users and charge users to access your custom GPT.

‍

What Does “Plug-and-Play” Mean?

“Plug-and-play AI” means you can focus on what really matters — your idea, use case, and audience — while the platform handles the technical side.

• No need programming languages
• No need to set up your own Stripe account or integrate with the Stripe API
• Enable monetisation for your GPT in minutes

How You Can Monetise Your GPT

• Paid Access — use our Stripe subscription feature to charge customers a monthly fee to use your GPT. This monetisation option is suitable for GPTs that function as a standalone product.
• Bundled Access — use the whitelisting feature to give already paying customers free access to your GPTs. Suitable for service providers such as educators, coaches and consultants.
• Lead Magnet — use the sign in feature to collect your users’ email addresses as they interact with your custom GPT so you can promote your external paid service or product to them later.

Whether you want a passive income stream or plan to build a full AI business, Top Road makes it possible.
