Crickets to Cha-Chings

Julie has listed 167 digital products on Etsy in the past few weeks, and she isn't glued to her computer to do it. In this episode of Crickets to Cha-Chings, Cody and Julie share how they're using ChatGPT and Claude to keep their Etsy listing systems running in the background (even from their phones), what's actually selling, and the results from the first cohort of the 50 Listings with AI Challenge. 👉 Join the 50 Listings with AI Challenge (Nov 9–23): https://goldcityventures.com/50-listings-ai-challenge/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=ai-challenge&utm_content=cody-julie You'll hear how Julie's AI-made trick-or-treat signs and costume contest kit sold on Halloween night, why AI opens up competitive niches like bachelorette and wedding, and how to use AI to update your own templates if you'd rather not generate art at all.
