Two practical methods to make money online, step by step, and test what ChatGPT 5.2 has to add to our existing ways of earning money online.

What’s New in ChatGPT 5.2

ChatGPT 5.2 was released on December 11, just a few days ago. Like any new release, OpenAI highlights benchmarks and improvements, and of course, they claim it’s their best model yet. However, benchmarks alone don’t tell the full story.

How good this version really is depends on what you’re trying to do. It may be excellent for developers or programmers, but it may not be suitable for other online income strategies.

That’s why I wanted to test it using methods I’ve already tried in older versions , ones that didn’t work very well before.

✅️ Testing: Method 1 — Selling Google Spreadsheets Online

The Idea

The first method is creating and selling Google Sheets spreadsheets. This was really very difficult to do properly with older versions of ChatGPT.

I asked ChatGPT 5.2 to — 👇

“Help me start a business selling Google spreadsheets, beginning with a detailed financial planning spreadsheet that looks professional.”

I intentionally used a simple prompt instead of an overly detailed one because,

In my experience, simple prompts often work better.

Turning the Idea into a Sellable Product

Initially, ChatGPT explained how I could copy the content into Google Sheets. However, I wanted it to actually create the spreadsheet file so I could import it directly into Google Sheets and sell it as a product.

This was a real test because older versions struggled badly with this task.

The Results

Financial Planning Template generated using ChatGPT 5.2

It was truly an impressive result. ChatGPT 5.2 took around 10–12 minutes, but the output was far more detailed than anything the older versions could produce.

It created a full spreadsheet system with:

A dashboard for key performance indicators
Setup sheets
Transactions
Budget tracking
Monthly summaries
Goals
Debt tracking
Net worth tracking

It also included clear instructions on how to import the spreadsheet into Google Sheets and how to use it.

How This Makes Money

Once you have this spreadsheet:

Download the file.
Create a simple PDF with instructions.
Upload the product to platforms like Etsy, Gumroad, or your own website.

People are already making real money doing this.

On Etsy alone, many spreadsheet sellers have thousands of reviews, which shows strong and consistent demand for products like this.

Weekly and monthly planners
Excel or Google Sheets bundles

ChatGPT 5.2 can help you replicate these products quickly and efficiently.

✅️ Testing: Method 2 — Selling AI Prompt Bundles

The second method is selling prompt bundles, something I tested using older ChatGPT versions with mixed results.

This time, I asked ChatGPT 5.2 to create advanced prompt bundles — 100 prompts across different niches.

Here, too, I kept the prompt intentionally basic, simple, and vague. The goal was to let ChatGPT think creatively instead of being overly restricted.

Initial Result: Basic but Usable

The first batch of prompts was fairly basic. While they could potentially be sold, they weren’t advanced enough to compete on major AI prompt marketplaces, where top-selling prompts tend to be highly detailed and specialized.
