Can You Run a Full Website with Just ChatGPT?
Hello everyone, this is Abhishek Thakur, the founder of EarnHubs.com, your platform for real, simple, and practical online earning ideas. Today, I’m going to share something very unique and personal. I ran a full website using only ChatGPT and in this article, I’ll walk you through the entire experience: the good, the bad, and the reality behind the hype.
This article is written in very simple words so that even beginners or school students can understand what it really means to create and run a website with the help of artificial intelligence.
The Idea Is It Even Possible?
Like many of you, I had this question in my mind “Can I make a complete blog or website using only ChatGPT?” I mean, I had some experience in blogging, but this time, I wanted to test it completely from the idea to content, layout, SEO, and even social media posts all generated by ChatGPT.
Why did I do this? Simple. To see if someone with zero tech skills can use AI to start and run a profitable blog in 2025.
Step 1: Planning with ChatGPT
I started by asking ChatGPT: “Give me trending niche ideas for blogging in 2025.”
ChatGPT gave me a long list personal finance, AI tools, remote work tips, health tech, and more. I selected AI & Productivity Tools as the niche because it’s trending, easy to write, and has good earning potential.
Then, I asked ChatGPT to give me a site structure homepage idea, about page content, blog layout, and even menu items. It literally laid out everything in seconds. I just copied the structure into a Word document for future use.
Step 2: Setting Up the Website
I used WordPress for setting up the site. With the help of ChatGPT
- Chose the right free theme (Astra)
- Installed essential plugins (Rank Math, WP Super Cache, etc.)
- Created the About, Contact, and Privacy Policy pages with AI-written text
I didn’t touch any code. I just followed ChatGPT’s step-by-step instructions. If I got stuck, I asked ChatGPT, and it always gave a simple explanation.
Result: My website was live in just 1 day, without hiring any developer.
Step 3: Writing Content with ChatGPT
Now came the heart of any website the content.
I asked ChatGPT to write:
- 5 blog posts of 1000+ words each
- SEO-friendly titles
- Meta descriptions
- FAQs for each article
For example, one of the articles was titled “Top 10 Free AI Tools That Can Save You Hours Daily”. The article had proper headings, bullet points, images suggestions, and internal link tips.
I edited each article slightly to add a human touch and include my personal voice. But 90% of the work was done by ChatGPT.
Bonus: I also asked ChatGPT to generate posts for Instagram and LinkedIn to promote each blog article. It gave me ready-to-use captions with hashtags. Incredible!

Step 4: SEO with ChatGPT
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is key if you want traffic from Google. So, I asked ChatGPT:
- What keywords should I target?
- How to write blog titles for better CTR?
- How to structure articles for SEO?
It gave me detailed responses with keyword ideas, suggested internal linking, and even told me about image alt-text and meta tags.
I used this information with the Rank Math plugin. Every blog post had green SEO scores. Within 10 days, my articles were indexed by Google.
Step 5: Monetization Ideas from ChatGPT
I didn’t stop there. I asked ChatGPT:
- How to earn from my blog?
- Which affiliate programs can I join?
- What digital products can I sell later?
It suggested:
- Google AdSense for ads
- Amazon Affiliates for recommending AI tools
- Selling eBooks or mini-courses in the future
These ideas gave me a roadmap to not just create but also earn from my AI-powered website.
Challenges I Faced
Of course, not everything was perfect. While ChatGPT is amazing, there were a few limitations:
- Repetitive content: Sometimes it repeats the same point in different words
- Too generic: Without giving detailed prompts, the response can sound robotic
- No current data: If you need real-time updates or recent news, ChatGPT may not be accurate
So, I learned that human editing is very important. AI gives you a base, but you must polish it.
How Much Time Did I Spend?
This was the surprising part. Normally, it takes 10–15 days to set up a decent website with 5–6 blogs. But with ChatGPT:
- Website Setup: 1 Day
- Content Creation: 2–3 Days
- SEO Setup: 1 Day
- Final Touches: 1 Day
Total: Less than 1 week. And I did this while managing my blog EarnHubs.com side-by-side.
Cost of Running a ChatGPT Website
Here’s how cheap it was:
- Domain: ₹600/year
- Hosting: ₹2500/year (Hostinger)
- WordPress: Free
- ChatGPT (Free or ₹1,800/month for GPT-4)
So, under ₹3,000, I had a fully working, content-rich blog ready.
Results After 30 Days
Here’s what happened after one month:
- 16 blog posts published
- 800+ organic visitors
- 10 affiliate link clicks
- 1 email subscriber
- 1 blog post ranked in Google’s Top 10
It wasn’t viral, but it showed potential. With consistency, this could grow into a side-income stream of ₹10,000–₹50,000/month in 3–6 months.
Is ChatGPT Enough to Run a Website Alone?
Yes and No.
Yes, if you want to:
- Start quickly
- Save money
- Learn by doing
No, if you expect:
- Instant traffic
- Fully unique content with emotional depth
- Zero involvement from your side
ChatGPT is a powerful assistant, not a replacement for your creativity. Think of it like a smart helper who listens to your ideas and gives them shape.
My Honest Verdict
After completing this test, I can confidently say: YES, you can run a full website with just ChatGPT but you need to be smart about it.
- Use it for planning, writing, editing, SEO, and promotion
- Always add your own touch to make content feel alive
- Learn what works and keep improving
As the founder of EarnHubs.com, I always share what I try myself. And this experience was both eye-opening and exciting. If I had to start from scratch today, I would still use ChatGPT it just makes the journey faster and easier.
The future of blogging has changed. You don’t need to be a tech expert or a professional writer. If you can learn, experiment, and stay consistent, you can build your own income generating website even with the help of AI like ChatGPT.
