I Built a Bunch of Custom GPTs. Now What?

Good tools, zero traction, and no idea how to ask people to pay

I Thought Building Was the Hard Part

I don’t mean to brag. Maybe a little. I’ve built quite a few custom GPTs.

Some are just for me. Others solve real problems. The more I build, the more I feel like I should be sharing them. Maybe even making some money from them.

So far, that hasn’t happened.

I’m not hurting for money, which helps. But it also makes it easy to avoid the part I’m worst at. Asking people to pay.

I don’t really know how to do that. That’s the truth.

So I’m going to try something simple. I’ll share a few of my better GPTs, explain what they do, and see what people think.

At the very least, I’ll get some honest feedback.

The Gap No One Talks About

You can build something good and still get ignored

I can build GPTs all day.

What I can’t seem to do is get people to care.

That gap is bigger than I expected. It’s not just about making something useful. It’s about showing people why it matters, fast.

Random output vs structured results.

GPT #1 — Food Content That Actually Converts

This one turns ideas into usable visuals

This GPT, Create High-Converting Recipe Content, takes a recipe or idea and turns it into a clean infographic prompt.

It handles layout, structure, and flow. It can also adjust for different platforms like Instagram or TikTok.

You give it a dish. It gives you something you can use.

Example output from the food GPT.

What you type vs what you get.

GPT #2 — Depth and Structure for AI Art

This one fixes flat, random images

This GPT builds prompts that focus on depth, materials, and spatial realism. There is Geological Prompt Architect (Technical) and Geological Prompt Builder.

It forces structure. That alone makes outputs more consistent.

Structure creates depth.

How it works, without the noise.

GPT #3 — Consistent 3D Characters

Same character, every time

This GPT, Whimsical 3D Creature Prompt Designer, creates cute, detailed 3D characters and keeps them consistent.

That matters more than it sounds. Most tools drift after one or two generations.

Locked-in character design.

No drift across variations.

GPT #4 — Sports Trading Card AI Prompt Studio

Create your own card with you or your friends in it!

This Sports Trading Card AI Prompt Studio is the ‘oldest’ of my GPTs that I think so much of.

The Real Problem

It’s not the tools

I’ve been focused on building.

Not on explaining.

Not on positioning.

And definitely not on selling.

People don’t buy tools. They buy clear outcomes.

That’s the part I’ve been avoiding.

What I’m Doing Next

Less guessing. More testing

I’m going to show the work.

See what people respond to.

Then adjust.

This article is part of that process.

One Simple Question

Which one of these would you actually use?

That answer matters more than anything I think.
