Hello friends!

This is part 2 of my online course for paid subscribers about How To Make Your Own AI Bot And Monetize It On Substack.

For context, in 2025 I made The NoteSmith—an AI bot that gives feedback on Substack Notes in seconds.

I sold access to it to paid subscribers, and added $5,000 in annualized revenue to my publication in one week.

People LOVED it, and many folks Notes went viral after using it.

Today I’m showing you the next step in the 5-part process to create your own AI bot and offer it to your paid subscribers on Substack.

Here’s the roadmap:

  • Part 1: Six ways to find a $1,000+ AI bot idea (already published)

  • Part 2: How to train your AI bot and write its prompt (what you’re getting today)

  • Part 3: How to actually create your AI bot that people can use

  • Part 4: How to tweak your bot’s prompt to perfect its outputs

  • Part 5: How to launch your AI bot to your Substack audience, and start making $$$ with it

It’s more of a beginner’s course. In the future we’ll cover more advanced AI bot building. But for now, this is what you get.

Paid subscribers, enjoy this tutorial!
Free subscribers, you can upgrade or I’ll catch you next time. ❤️
