Who it’s for

Online shop owners, Etsy and Amazon sellers, and brands.

Adapt it to your industry

  • Restaurant: product photos and descriptions for delivery apps
  • Creator: merch descriptions and launch emails
  • Local shop: product pages for your first online store

Step by step

  1. Pick 5 products you want to sell better.
  2. Open ChatGPT, Claude or Grok and paste the prompt below with the product details.
  3. Ask for a title, a description, 5 bullet points and search keywords for each.
  4. Check every claim (size, materials, shipping) before publishing.
  5. Update the listings in your store (Shopify, Etsy, Amazon) and note the date.
  6. After 2–4 weeks, compare views and sales, and ask the AI to rewrite the weakest listings.

How to make money from it

Pricing idea: Offer listing rewrites at a price per product, or a monthly store-care package.

Finding your first 10 customers

  • Rewrite 3 listings for a seller you know, for free, and track results.
  • Share the before/after in seller communities.
  • Offer the same service to sellers in that niche.
