OpenAI just opened ChatGPT ads in beta, and early movers can resell campaign setup to small businesses.
ChatGPT ads are live but still incompleteThe dashboard offers only clicks and reach, conversions stay greyed out until a pixel and billing are set up, and many countries remain locked.
Early advertisers get cheap reach, as on early FacebookHe expects OpenAI to subsidise reach to pull spend away from Google and Meta, the way Instagram Reels was pushed against TikTok.
Sell the setup to businesses already buying adsCompanies spending on Google and Facebook have both money and proven belief in advertising, so they are the easiest buyers for a ChatGPT ads service.
Executive SummaryAI
The host opens by announcing that the ChatGPT Ad Manager was released that day and that he has live beta access, earned from the waitlist method he showed his audience months earlier.
He walks through building a first campaign for his own AI marketing company based in Maui, Hawaii: objectives limited to clicks or reach with no conversions yet, locations restricted to the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and a daily budget he illustrates at $5 per day.
After creating a web data source and standard events such as checkout started and trial started, he explains that the generated tracking code lets advertisers retarget past website visitors inside ChatGPT, the same remarketing that follows shoppers around Instagram and Facebook.
He argues the money is in selling this service, showing roughly $35,000 in monthly revenue from SEO clients and almost $60,000 from advertising clients, plus an invoice for a $1,000-a-month package and one client at almost $13,000.
He closes with a repeatable outreach play: a Gemini prompt to list 25 local businesses already running Google ads, a cold email template, a screenshot of an ad you built for the prospect, and a free AI trust audit run in Go High Level, like the 8% score for Kevin's Electric.
