In case you haven’t heard… OpenAI just dropped a game-changer! ChatGPT now has a search function to compete with Google, making it easier than ever to find up-to-date information without switching between platforms. Right now, it’s available for paid subscribers, but don’t worry—OpenAI plans to roll it out to free and enterprise users in the coming weeks.

So, why should handmade sellers care?

Here are some of the cool ways you can use ChatGPT’s new search feature to make your life a little easier:

1. Quickly Research Trends and Ideas

Need to know the top holiday gift trends for this season? Or find fresh ideas for your product descriptions? Ask ChatGPT, and get an answer right away without needing to open a browser!

2. Get Instant Answers to Business Questions

Running a handmade business means wearing many hats, and sometimes you need quick answers to questions about taxes, shipping strategies, or marketing tactics. With ChatGPT’s search, you can get immediate answers on business topics without having to sift through multiple Google links.

3. Content Inspiration for Social Media or Blog Posts

If you’re struggling with what to post on social media or need a little blog inspiration, try using the search feature to get new content ideas. You can ask ChatGPT for the latest social media trends, popular hashtags, or even tips on writing engaging captions. It’s a one-stop shop for inspiration.

4. Learn New Skills or Tools Fast

Want to dive into something new, like setting up Google Analytics for your site or understanding SEO basics? Instead of searching for multiple tutorials online, you can ask ChatGPT for a quick explanation or a step-by-step guide—saving you time and helping you implement faster.
