I discovered this guy 
Steven Thiel when a friend shared his content with me and said she really wanted to try his method.
This was just a few months ago and at the time, he had maybe 17k followers.
Now, he's already at 76k.
Why is he growing so much? Because he has a method that resonates with people, his message is simple, he's insanely consistent, and he's living proof that what he's teaching works.
He claims he has a 
chatgpt script that can interview you on your life and find something you can sell for $3k+. Sounds great, but is it legit? I decided to actually get the script and see if it came up with something good for me.
But first, lets dive into his method.
His Method
Here's what Steve teaches:
Have ChatGPT interview you to find something high-ticket to sell. For him, it's selling a high ticket digital product (
Sell High Ticket Digital ProductsSell a course) on how you can do the same.Offer a free lead magnet. His is a ChatGPT prompt that helps you dig into your life experience and figure out what your digital product should be.
Post about that one thing over and over. Same core message, different hooks. Every single time.
Let the algorithm do the work. Because you're talking about the same thing constantly, Instagram starts finding the right audience for you. You don't need to chase them.
Use a CTA that drives engagement. "Comment [word] to get [free thing]." Simple, effective.
Automate with
manychat. Once someone comments, a DM funnel kicks in that feels personal but runs on autopilot.
What I Think Works
I'm honestly I really like this approach for a few reasons:
High ticket is the move. Selling something for $3k+ means you need way fewer sales to make real money. Way better economics than low-ticket stuff.
It's infinitely scalable. Digital product means no inventory, no shipping, no trading time for money, no limits on distribution.
Location independent. You can do it online from anywhere.
Time flexibility. You can work when you want on your terms.
Basically free to start. You need a phone, an Instagram account, and ChatGPT. That's it.
His social media strategy clearly works. Repeating the same message with different hooks is exactly how the algorithm wants you to play the game. His growth from 17k to 75k in a short window proves it.
Where I'm Skeptical
Is a digital product really worth $3k+? If it's mostly repackaged information, that's a tough sell. People can find a lot of this stuff for free now, especially with AI.
Buyer's remorse risk. At $3k, expectations are sky high. If someone buys and feels underwhelmed, that's a refund request at best and a "scammer" label at worst.
Will people actually buy? Getting attention is one thing. Getting someone to spend $3k on a digital product from someone they found on Instagram is another.
Not many success stories yet (that I know of). He frequently uses a testimonial from a creator I know who already has a brand and infrastructure behind her. I saw that anther one of his students made a sale, but want to see more examples of people starting from zero and making multiple sales.
So I Actually Went Through His Process
I was curious enough that I followed his funnel myself:
Commented on one of his posts. Got a DM almost instantly.
He asked me to reply (smart move, this signals to Instagram that I'm engaged so he's not flagged as spam).
Got the free lead magnet. A Google Doc with a ChatGPT prompt designed to interview you about your life experience and help you build a high-ticket offer.
Spent about 4 hours with ChatGPT. Went deep on my background, skills, and experiences. I did it in a separate Google Doc so I wouldn't lose anything if ChatGPT refreshed mid-session.
What ChatGPT Came Up With For Me
After 4 hours of back and forth, here's the offer it helped me build:
"I help skilled professionals leave corporate safely by landing high-paying clients before they quit, so there's no income gap."
The pitch breaks down like this:
The Problem:
Stuck in jobs they don't enjoy
Capped income, no control over their time
Afraid to leave because they don't know how to replace their salary
The Insight:
It's often easier to get paid $5k - $10k / month as a consultant than to get hired as an employee. Companies don't have it figured out. They just need problems solved.
The Solution:
Identify real business problems
Reach out with insight (not spam)
Pitch with clear, data-backed ideas
Structure deals that reduce risk for the client
The Result (90 days):
Land 1-3 clients
Make $5K-$15K/month
Leave your job with confidence
My Honest Take
This is actually pretty solid. I could see myself building materials around this, creating a community of professionals who feel stuck, and charging a premium for access to frameworks, templates, and direct help.
I also believe that if I can help someone create a foundation and secure a client that pays them $5k+ per month in less than 3 months, then that is worth $3k.
I can literally start doing this now for people I know for no money up front.
The method works as a content strategy. The question is whether the prompt can extract a skill from everyone that enough people will pay $3k+ for what you build on the other side.
That part is still an unknown to me. But there’s only one way for you to find out.
If you're looking for a way to start building something online with almost no upfront cost, this is one of the better frameworks I've seen.
