How to Succeed in the GPT Store: Tips and Insights from a GPT Creator

With the creation of over 3 million GPTs by users worldwide, distinguishing your GPT in the market is crucial for success. Here, I share insights and strategies from my experience as a GPT creator.

1. Creativity is Key to Top Performance

While anyone can create a GPT without coding skills, this ease of entry results in many subpar GPTs. To join the elite top 1%, your GPT must be both practical and original. Focus on solving specific problems, providing unique value, and introducing innovative features.

2. Effective Ways to Boost GPT Visibility

ChatGPT, from OpenAI, has a user base of over 50 million, presenting a great chance for exposure. There are just 96 slots for public display in the GPT Store, reaching an active audience. Improve your GPT’s visibility by:

  • Adding your website link to your GPT’s profile.
  • Including links in ChatGPT’s responses to draw visitors to your site.
  • Mixing in some promotional messages in responses to attract more website traffic.

3. Utilizing Tools to Amplify GPT Engagement and Rankings

Creators are increasingly adopting tools and strategies to enhance their GPT’s chat interactions and rankings. Although OpenAI hasn’t released a specific revenue plan for GPT creators, it’s evident that the GPT Store’s rankings favor GPTs with more chats. This trend is set to continue, with more creators likely to employ chat-boosting methods, reminiscent of SEO tactics used to climb search engine rankings.

4. The Growing Trend of Action Services in GPTs

Creating a GPT may be straightforward, but relying solely on prompts leads to a lack of diversity and limits potential. To truly differentiate your GPT, mastering the Action feature is key, though it presents a higher learning curve.

Recent studies reveal that 40% of the top 20 GPTs in the GPT Store utilize the Action feature, underscoring its significant competitive edge. GPTs that capitalize on the unique capabilities of the Action feature can engage and retain users more effectively, offering a richer experience beyond basic prompts. This approach not only enhances user interaction but also sets these GPTs apart in the crowded marketplace.

    Do you have a blueprint or general tips on using Actions? Do you build an API from scratch using your own stack? serverless? Any surprises?
