00:00:05.288 --> 00:00:07.251
Welcome to the Author Revolution Podcast.
00:00:07.251 --> 00:00:18.628
I'm Carissa Andrews, author and your host here to help indie authors like you master mindset, harness manifestation and embrace cutting edge innovation to elevate your career.
00:00:18.628 --> 00:00:19.971
Let's dive in.
00:00:24.942 --> 00:00:29.097
Hey there, revolutionary authors, and welcome back to the Author Revolution podcast.
00:00:29.097 --> 00:00:37.204
I am super excited that you're here today, super excited to get into this particular podcast episode because, ooh, do I have a doozy for you?
00:00:37.204 --> 00:00:42.302
If you've been around here for a while, you already know that I'm no stranger to ChatGPT.
00:00:42.302 --> 00:00:56.445
In fact, over the past couple of years, I've been diving deep into how we, as indie authors, can use it, not only to boost our creativity, do our outlines, that sort of thing, but we can also use it to streamline and support our entire author business.
00:00:56.445 --> 00:00:59.732
And today, oh, we're going to take it one step further.
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:07.703
This week's episode is all about what's possible when you build a custom chat GPT project, not a custom GPT.
00:01:07.703 --> 00:01:12.927
Let me be clear this is a project and this is one that then becomes your personal assistant.
00:01:12.927 --> 00:01:14.671
Sound intriguing?
00:01:14.671 --> 00:01:16.066
Yeah, it's pretty awesome.
00:01:16.066 --> 00:01:21.132
I'm calling it your chat GPT PA and, trust me, this isn't just another productivity hack.
00:01:21.132 --> 00:01:34.911
It's about creating a centralized space that holds everything you need for your writing life, from your newsletter and social media preferences to your launch strategy, personal energy cycles and, yes, even things like your human design or astrology.
00:01:34.911 --> 00:01:41.177
If that's your jam, it's totally mine, and so, of course, my PA has this in it right Now.
00:01:41.177 --> 00:01:48.566
This idea has been brewing for a while and it's the natural next step in what's become a full series of masterclasses I've created to help authors.
00:01:48.566 --> 00:02:00.572
Help you, get the most out of this AI tool, whether you're a total beginner or someone who's been experimenting with it already, and if you're ready to actually build this assistant alongside me, I've got you covered.
00:02:01.061 --> 00:02:12.332
This Friday, june 20th, I'm hosting a brand new live masterclass called ChatGPTPA your AI-powered author assistant where I'll walk you through how to set it all up step by step.
00:02:12.332 --> 00:02:20.167
You can sign up by heading over to authorrevolutionorg forward slash masterclasses and you'll see the live class listed right at the top.
00:02:20.167 --> 00:02:21.872
But while you're there, take a scroll.
00:02:21.872 --> 00:02:33.092
You'll also find the full vault of previous masterclasses, starting at just $11, because I believe in making this kind of support accessible and, let's be honest, we don't need more gatekeeping in the indie author world.
00:02:33.092 --> 00:02:41.362
Right, and there are plenty of other ChatGPT masterclasses that will build on, like the knowledge and everything that's going into this particular class.
00:02:41.362 --> 00:02:49.986
All right, so let's get into what your Chatuby TPA can actually do for you and why it might be the smartest addition to your author business yet.
00:02:50.949 --> 00:02:59.621
So, as you know through my previous podcasts, through things that we've talked about through the years, being an indie author, it's a lot.
00:02:59.621 --> 00:03:02.086
We have a lot of hats, a lot of hats.
00:03:02.086 --> 00:03:03.829
We're not just writing books.
00:03:03.829 --> 00:03:16.908
We're planning launches, writing newsletters, posting on social, managing ads, keeping track of timelines, building relationships with readers, and somewhere in all of that we're supposed to still have time and energy to create.
00:03:16.908 --> 00:03:22.170
It's a lot to juggle, and if you've ever felt like you're constantly switching hats, you're not alone.
00:03:22.170 --> 00:03:26.361
That's why I started leaning on ChatGPT more seriously in my own author business.
00:03:26.361 --> 00:03:29.790
It's part of the reason why experimenting with it was so much fun.
00:03:29.790 --> 00:03:41.941
Right At first, it was just little things like brainstorming a newsletter or helping to tweak some ad copy or outline my book or give me some productivity hacks for how I can schedule my day.
00:03:42.663 --> 00:03:50.727
But the more I used it, the more I realized that this could be something way, way bigger, especially as ChatGPT continued to evolve over the years.
00:03:50.727 --> 00:03:55.070
When custom GPTs came online, that was a next big step.
00:03:55.070 --> 00:03:59.308
Now projects are the next thing, and this is just an absolute total game changer.
00:03:59.308 --> 00:04:20.389
So I want you to ponder this what if ChatGPT wasn't just a helper for one-off tasks, but a reliable assistant that actually knows how you run things, that remembers your brand voice, your writing schedule, your launch plans for the whole year or beyond right, and can help you stay on top of everything.
00:04:20.389 --> 00:04:23.589
That's where the idea of the ChatGPT PA came from.
00:04:23.589 --> 00:04:27.543
This isn't about replacing creativity or outsourcing your intuition.
00:04:27.543 --> 00:04:32.482
It's also not saying that real life PAs aren't something that we should lean on, either.
00:04:32.482 --> 00:04:49.915
This is about having a tool that lightens your load or, if you're just trying to really organize your thoughts and keep all of your own branding and information in one place, this keeps all of those moving parts organized so that you can focus on the work that matters most writing those great stories and connecting with your readers.
00:04:51.040 -->

00:04:54.771
Because, let's be honest, most of us aren't in a place to hire that full-time assistant.
00:04:54.771 --> 00:05:04.091
And even if we were, wouldn't it be amazing to have something custom built to your way of working, ready 24-7 and able to evolve alongside of you?
00:05:04.091 --> 00:05:07.742
Not only that you can use, but also your assistant.
00:05:07.742 --> 00:05:17.362
So that's what we're creating here, and in just a minute I'm going to walk you through exactly what kind of tasks this assistant can handle for you, because I've been working with this for a long time.
00:05:17.362 --> 00:05:30.435
I've been tweaking it based on how I want my day to start, the kind of vibe I'm trying to go for all of the things, and so spoiler alert, it's probably more than you think, but first I just want to plant a little seed.
00:05:30.435 --> 00:05:35.487
Okay, you don't have to do your author career, your writing, all of it alone.
00:05:35.487 --> 00:05:43.372
Okay, and if a tool like this can support your creative flow and help you stay consistent with your goals, it's worth exploring.
00:05:43.860 --> 00:05:45.125
This is not a scary tool.
00:05:45.125 --> 00:05:48.591
It's not the big bad that people were talking about in the very beginning.
00:05:48.591 --> 00:06:00.605
This tool is revolutionary, and if you're not using it, if you're not implementing in some way, shape or form so that you can understand how it works, you, my friend I'm so sorry to say this, but you are going to fall behind.
00:06:00.605 --> 00:06:02.826
You don't have to use it for writing.
00:06:02.826 --> 00:06:09.146
You can use it for other things, but I encourage you and implore you to start using it.
00:06:09.146 --> 00:06:10.391
All right.
00:06:10.411 --> 00:06:20.706
So let's talk about this good stuff and what exactly your ChatGPTPA can do for you, because once you start building this out, it's not just about having a place to toss random prompts.
00:06:20.706 --> 00:06:32.528
It becomes your centralized go-to hub for your entire author career, and when I say that, I mean everything from the big picture planning to the nitty-gritty daily tasks that you don't want to have to deal with or keep remembering.
00:06:32.528 --> 00:06:40.043
So I mean, when you think about your author career, think about any of those repetitive things that you do over and over, that kind of just get on your nerves.
00:06:40.043 --> 00:06:56.769
I'm not a person who likes to do repetition, so some things just kind of drive me a little bit bonkers, and so I like to offload that information in a way that I don't have to, number one, repeat the task to chat GPT and, number two, I don't have to really put a whole lot of thought back into doing a certain thing.
00:06:56.769 --> 00:07:02.369
So here's a snapshot of what's possible and what we're going to be talking about in this masterclass on Friday.
00:07:03.656 --> 00:07:05.684
Number one planning and organization.
00:07:05.684 --> 00:07:07.341
This is a huge thing, right?
00:07:07.341 --> 00:07:09.322
Us authors we are creative beings.
00:07:09.322 --> 00:07:10.922
We're not always the most organized.
00:07:10.922 --> 00:07:11.776
Not all of you are.
00:07:11.776 --> 00:07:14.144
You know crazy double Virgos like myself, right?
00:07:14.144 --> 00:07:23.867
So imagine having your own assistant who helps you plan your week, organize your content calendar, track upcoming launches and even remind you of your personal goals.
00:07:23.867 --> 00:07:33.446
You can map it all out inside of your GPT project and revisit it anytime, without digging through a million Google Docs or having your own calendar full of all the things.
00:07:33.446 --> 00:07:45.995
It will literally remember what day it is of the week, of the month, of the year, reference it based off of your information of what you're trying to do for the year and remind you what needs to get done this week.
00:07:45.995 --> 00:07:46.817
It's pretty amazing.
00:07:48.242 --> 00:07:50.247
Number two is email and newsletter support.
00:07:50.247 --> 00:07:55.901
So we've talked about newsletters through a custom GPT in one of my previous masterclasses.
00:07:55.901 --> 00:08:08.110
Now this is actually taking that same concept and really kind of putting it on steroids, because not only is it gonna understand your newsletter support and setup, it's gonna understand your entire business plan and your stories, support and setup.
00:08:08.110 --> 00:08:10.778
It's going to understand your entire business plan and your stories and everything else.
00:08:10.778 --> 00:08:13.906
I mean it's going to really next level your newsletters.
00:08:13.906 --> 00:08:22.845
So, whether you're feeling stuck on what to write this week or just need help crafting a subject line that actually gets clicks, your ChatGPT PA has got you right.
00:08:22.845 --> 00:08:30.267
It can draft emails in your voice, help brainstorm engaging content and even repurpose old emails for new campaigns.
00:08:30.267 --> 00:08:35.706
It will remember, like if you have certain segments that you do every single week.
00:08:35.706 --> 00:08:37.835
It will remember the flow of the segments.
00:08:37.835 --> 00:08:43.863
It will remember to prompt you what comes next, and you can just continue to go through the entire thing.
00:08:43.863 --> 00:08:44.745
It's amazing.
00:08:44.745 --> 00:08:45.919
I use it all the time.
00:08:46.934 --> 00:08:49.855
Okay, number three is social media content creation.
00:08:49.855 --> 00:09:04.677
I have been leaning so much more heavily on social media for video, so I've been doing a lot of YouTube content and TikTok content, right, and now I'm not doing it so much for my books at the moment, or Author Revolution.
00:09:04.677 --> 00:09:07.140
I'm focusing on this new version of myself.
00:09:07.140 --> 00:09:14.010
This manifest differently a lot more this year and putting more emphasis and interest into that side.
00:09:14.010 -->
00:09:21.761
But here's the thing that you need to know you can teach it your preferred platforms, your brand tone and how often you like to post.
00:09:21.761 --> 00:09:30.764
It'll then help you draft content, brainstorm ideas or even come up with fun seasonal campaigns that match your vibe, and you can also do that for newsletters, too, right?
00:09:30.764 --> 00:09:51.427
So, like, if you are writing a newsletter and you're completely clueless on what to write about, you can just tap into the huge store of information of what ChatGPT knows about the season, about the energies, about, you know, special holidays this month, like, whatever it might be, chat's going to help you to create some more engaging content, right?
00:09:51.427 --> 00:09:55.559
So there's no more staring at a blank content calendar and not taking action.
00:09:55.559 --> 00:10:01.162
Not only can it help you create it and plan it, but it can help you remember to implement it.
00:10:01.162 --> 00:10:02.485
It's incredible.
00:10:03.590 --> 00:10:05.839
Number four is creative brainstorming.
00:10:05.839 --> 00:10:08.235
Now, this one, obviously, is a personal favorite of mine.
00:10:08.235 --> 00:10:16.835
I've been teaching how to use creative brainstorming, how to use it for planning your series through the four books, five days course, like.
00:10:16.835 --> 00:10:20.605
We have all sorts of ways that we can use creative brainstorming.
00:10:20.605 --> 00:10:39.058
With ChatGPT, now, your assistant can help you flesh out plot ideas, character arcs, book titles, blurbs, taglines you name it and because it's a custom GPT project, it can remember your series, the details, genre, themes and even your preferred tropes.
00:10:39.058 --> 00:10:41.924
This gets very detailed.
00:10:41.924 --> 00:10:45.460
It understands your business like it was your second brain.
00:10:45.460 --> 00:10:47.105
I kid you not, it's amazing.
00:10:47.105 --> 00:10:50.996
Your business like it was your second brain.
00:10:50.996 --> 00:10:51.678
I kid you not, it's amazing, okay.
00:10:51.678 --> 00:10:52.600
Number five this one is a fun one, okay.
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:53.383
So woo friendly personalization.
00:10:53.403 --> 00:11:05.303
Now, if you're like me and you like to work with astrology or your human design or your Clifton strengths, any of these things, any of your personality preferences Enneagram, you can build that into Okay.
00:11:05.303 --> 00:11:19.216
So if you want your assistant to remind you when Mercury is about to go retrograde or suggest launch dates that align with your human design energy, you can absolutely do that, but, of course, if it was not your thing, you can go ahead and skip that too.
00:11:19.216 --> 00:11:20.942
It's all completely customizable.
00:11:20.942 --> 00:11:30.408
It's up to you about what is important to your author career, your business and how you want it to be built, and the things that you want ChatGPT to help you with.
00:11:30.408 --> 00:11:35.744
And now number six is just to remember that this is your career command center.
00:11:36.595 --> 00:11:37.880
All of this lives in one place.
00:11:37.880 --> 00:11:41.605
It's right there in a custom GPT project.
00:11:41.605 --> 00:11:43.735
So it's not a custom GPT, it's a project.
00:11:43.735 --> 00:11:48.705
It becomes a growing knowledge base that learns your systems, your voice and your preferences.
00:11:48.705 --> 00:12:06.408
Whether you're writing your 30th book or your second, it scales with you and remembers things, and what's great about it is like you can put in your PDFs, you can do information about your books, you can brainstorm things so that it knows certain aspects about your character that no one else knows.
00:12:06.475 --> 00:12:12.298
There's so much that you can do here, and so this project becomes the command center of it all.
00:12:12.298 --> 00:12:18.413
So the key thing here is that it isn't a tool you have to start over with every single time.
00:12:18.413 --> 00:12:20.285
This is your digital assistant.
00:12:20.285 --> 00:12:36.910
It's tailored and trained and available when you need it, and, yes, it takes a little bit of that setup, but once it's in place, it is a game changer, and the best part is like there's so much that you can do here, and I'm going to show you exactly how to do it in this Friday's masterclass.
00:12:37.721 --> 00:13:01.043
So if you're listening to all of this and thinking, okay, chris, this sounds like exactly what I need, but I also need to know how do I actually build something like this, then, like I said, you're in luck because this Friday, june 20th, I am hosting a brand new live masterclass called ChatGPTPA, your AI-powered author assistant, and I'm going to walk you through this entire setup process step by step.
00:13:01.043 --> 00:13:10.673
This is your chance to build a customized GPT project, something that's not just helpful once but becomes your ongoing author business assistant.
00:13:10.673 --> 00:13:18.307
I'll show you how to input your preferences, organize your systems and really train it to function the way that you work best.
00:13:18.307 --> 00:13:25.573
Okay, so, from content, calendars and character tracking to tone of voice, energy cycles everything's on the table.
00:13:25.573 --> 00:13:28.389
So if you've got questions, I encourage you to bring them.
00:13:28.389 --> 00:13:34.090
But here's the thing this masterclass isn't just another watch and figure it out later situation.
00:13:34.090 --> 00:13:37.081
When you join the live session, you'll also get a chance to ask questions, get real-time feedback, like I said, and see actual examples as we go live.
00:13:37.081 --> 00:13:42.054
Later situation, when you join the live session, you'll also get a chance to ask questions, get real-time feedback, like I said, and see actual examples as we go live.
00:13:42.054 --> 00:13:45.386
I will show you what my custom GPT project looks like.
00:13:45.386 -->
00:13:53.750
So that's why the live class is $37, because you're not just getting the training, you're also getting direct access to me as your guide during the session.
00:13:53.750 --> 00:13:59.160
But if that price point doesn't quite work for you or if you can't attend live, don't worry.
00:13:59.562 --> 00:14:06.386
Every masterclass I run eventually lands on the masterclass vault page and you can access the replay there starting at just $11.
00:14:06.386 --> 00:14:10.644
This is a part of my what I like to call the area aligned contribution model.
00:14:10.644 --> 00:14:20.363
Now, if you don't know what area is, I encourage you to go over to TikTok and this is the manifest differently, tiktokifferently, tiktok, so at Manifest Differently and see what that was.
00:14:20.363 --> 00:14:38.989
Because I channeled something pretty awesome about what a lot of us who are feeling like misaligned to money need to do when it comes to shifting the vibe and calling in something different, and so I channeled something that is all about a different way of viewing money, and it's bigger than that.
00:14:38.989 --> 00:14:45.861
But I want you to just get like a little hint about why I've changed pricing models, about what has happened there and what the heckery is.
00:14:46.605 --> 00:14:46.885
Okay.
00:14:46.885 --> 00:14:51.741
So this means that you can pay what feels right and still get the support that you need, okay.
00:14:51.741 --> 00:14:56.292
So if you can only pay $11 after the class is launched, totally cool.
00:14:56.292 --> 00:15:08.171
If you can pay more, then you're just helping other authors be able to access this content, because it is supporting the entire community and it's because knowledge should be accessible, especially for indie authors.
00:15:08.171 --> 00:15:09.342
It should also be empowering.
00:15:09.342 --> 00:15:19.847
No matter where you're at in your author journey, there's information here that is going to absolutely change the game for you and it could launch the trajectory of your author career into the stratosphere.
00:15:19.847 --> 00:15:31.630
So, whether you're brand new to ChatGPT or you've been using it in bits and pieces, this class is designed to give you the bigger picture and the practical steps to make it a real part of your author business strategy.
00:15:32.131 --> 00:15:33.802
There are other classes that go with this.
00:15:33.802 --> 00:15:43.394
If you have never done ChatGPT before, I encourage you to check out the master classes for ChatGPT, because they are going to each build upon the other.
00:15:43.394 --> 00:15:51.703
Last month's class, for instance, was all about what's the difference between a normal ChatGPT conversation, a custom GPT, and now the projects.

00:16:43.652 --> 00:16:57.542
The indie author path is incredible, but it is also at times overwhelming, especially when you're neurodivergent or you're trying to manage everything from writing and publishing to marketing and connecting with those readers right.
00:16:57.542 --> 00:17:00.969
Tools like ChatGPT aren't here to replace your creativity.
00:17:00.969 --> 00:17:09.053
They're here to support it, to give you more mental space, more flow and, yes, even a little more joy in the process.
00:17:09.053 --> 00:17:20.448
So building your ChatGPT PA is like investing in a smarter, more streamlined way to run your author business, one that's aligned with how you work and that grows with you over time.
00:17:20.448 --> 00:17:26.950

00:17:26.950 --> 00:17:29.000
I mean, I'm not just an author.
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:34.113
I do a lot of different things, and so it understands the gamut of all that I do.
