My 30-Day Challenge (2025 Edition)
👋 Hi, I’m Matin Diwan—and in April 2025, I set myself a simple challenge:
👉 Can I earn side income using only ChatGPT and free tools, in 30 days, from scratch?
Spoiler:
I didn’t become a millionaire.
But I did earn my first ₹6,000+ without spending anything.
Here’s exactly what I did, how I did it, and how you can start today.
