ChatGPT and Midjourney: AI for Traffic Arbitrage

Neural networks are actively being integrated into the workflows of any digital professional, and the affiliate industry is eagerly testing trending AI tools to streamline routine tasks. 

We at ProfitPay are actively testing new technologies, and today we're sharing tips on how to use ChatGPT for traffic arbitrage (spoiler: it's not just about writing ad copy), and why neural networks won't replace copywriters, translators, or creative professionals.

We'll also cover how to use Midjourney in affiliate marketing and how it can boost designer productivity. In short, we've compiled every idea we came across during brainstorming sessions and tests with our buying team into one article.

How to Use ChatGPT in Traffic Arbitrage

We asked ChatGPT quite a few questions. Below, we'll walk through the possible ways to use artificial intelligence in traffic arbitrage — making testing, finding winning combos, and handling daily routine much easier.

Writing Ad Copy for Creatives

The first and most straightforward use case — generating copy for ad creatives. 

Advantages:

• fresh ideas for words and phrases — a lifesaver when your creativity runs dry from daily creative work;
• reduces the time spent brainstorming and writing creative copy;
• can generate text in multiple languages.

Disadvantages:

• some phrases can sound quite awkward, so you need to proofread the output rather than blindly copy-pasting it;
• when generating text in languages you don't speak, phrasing may sound unnatural — it's better to have a native speaker review it. At ProfitPay, we provide Polish translations done by native speakers and proofread your copy free of charge — just message your manager.

Text Uniqueization

If you have a combo that's burning out with declining conversion rate, or your pre-lander/landing page has already been flagged by Facebook, Google, or TikTok and keeps getting banned, ChatGPT can help you rewrite the text and rephrase it entirely.

Advantages:

• fast uniqueization of text in the language you need, while fully preserving the narrative on the pre-lander or landing page;
• 100% uniqueness for search engines when checked with plagiarism detection tools;
• saves money on a copywriter/rewriter.

Disadvantages:

• the text requires proofreading and error correction before going live.

We took one of the landing pages from our Duosev offer — prostatitis capsules — and asked ChatGPT to rewrite the copy. The prompt looked like this:

The AI returned a ready-to-use text (if you're working with a long piece and the AI stops generating at some point, simply type "Continue"). Here's what we got:

We ran the rewritten landing page copy through 3 plagiarism detection services: Grammarly, Plagiarismdetector, and Content Watch. The results are shown in the screenshots below.

Overall, solid uniqueness scores for a 5-minute uniqueization job. But what do native speakers think? We asked the operators at our Polish call center — native Polish speakers — and got their feedback: the rewrite was excellent, with no grammatical or spelling errors found.

Information Gathering 

Another use case for ChatGPT — searching and structuring information. Think of it as Google, except the information you need is delivered in response to your query in a structured format tailored to your needs.

Advantages:

• fast information gathering without wasting time navigating different websites and opening links;
• you can specify a convenient format in which the AI will deliver the information you need;
• you can ask the AI not only to structure information, but also to write brief summaries on a topic of your choice, getting maximally concise output; 
• you can make flexible, personalized information-gathering requests, run comparisons, and apply other non-standard approaches.

Drawbacks:

• there is no way to gather diverse opinions from multiple sources, analyze them, and make informed decisions — and the answers ChatGPT provides, especially on affiliate marketing topics, may not always be accurate;
• data may be outdated.

Overall, ChatGPT can streamline the process of researching a GEO and preparing for a campaign launch — by asking the right questions, you can get concise summaries drawn from a variety of sources.

Writing Code

ChatGPT can write basic code for your pre-lander or landing page. Simply explain clearly what you need and in which programming language, and the system will generate the code.

Benefits:

• ability to get ready-to-use website code without any programming knowledge;
• fast code generation tailored to your requirements.

Drawbacks:

• only suitable for simple requests — complex layouts are currently beyond its capabilities;
• the output should be reviewed and refined by a developer to ensure the layout isn't broken and site elements display correctly before launching your campaign.

We asked ChatGPT to code a header for a news website. The AI produced a complete code example for the site header in HTML and CSS, ready to copy and use on your site. Naturally, it will need to be customized for your specific landing page.

Text Translation

You can provide ChatGPT with a text and ask the AI to translate it. The AI supports: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. However, the AI is continuously learning and can process requests in other languages as well.

Benefits:

• fast translations into a wide range of languages;
• cost savings on professional translators;
• supports many popular languages and is continuously improving;
• can handle large volumes of text.

Drawbacks:

• output may be somewhat inaccurate, especially when the text contains specialized terminology, ambiguous expressions, or dialectal variations

To test translation quality, we had it translate a text from Polish into Ukrainian:

Overall, the translation quality is quite good. We cannot guarantee the same for other language pairs, so it's best to have translations reviewed by a professional before launching your campaign.

How to Get Access to ChatGPT 

Activating ChatGPT is straightforward:

1. Go to https://chat.openai.com/auth/login and click Sign up.

2. Enter your email and create a password.

3. The AI will then send a verification link to your email — follow it to activate your account.
4. Enter your first and last name.
5. Enter your phone number and the code from the SMS. 
6. Access is activated — you can now use the AI.

You can also add a Google Chrome browser extension to keep ChatGPT always at hand. However, you will still need to activate your account first using the method described above.

How to Use Midjourney

Midjourney is a neural network capable of generating images based on your text description using artificial intelligence. The workflow is straightforward: you enter a text prompt in Discord, and the AI returns four image variations in response.

Creating Creatives

The primary function of Midjourney is generating unconventional images, so you can get ready-made creatives for nutra (and beyond) with just a few precise prompts. 

Advantages:

• you can get unusual, eye-catching visuals that a regular designer would spend hours on — and in some cases you'd need to bring in an illustrator;
• the system generates 4 image variations per prompt, and your favorite one can be refined by requesting another 4 variations based on the selected image;
• with precise prompts, you can get a fairly relevant image for a nutra creative.

Disadvantages:

• images may not 100% match what you had in mind, and generating the perfect result can take a lot of time. In that regard, it's often easier to just brief a designer.

Here are the creatives we generated for various offers:

For enlargement. 

Prompt: /imagine prompt:attractive man who take in his hand big banana that shows his mas strenght in bed

For varicose veins. 

Prompt: /imagine prompt:Legs on which large veins stand out, indicating problems with varicose veins. Various traditional remedies beside them

Weight loss

Prompt:  /imagine prompt:happy 3d overweight girl who take jar of pills in her hand. Futuristic style

You need to experiment with prompts — you might get even better results. Share your versions in our Telegram channel in the comments to the post.

Website Prototype Generation

AI can generate a landing page prototype based on your prompt. To do this, you need to specify the parameters and your design preferences. You'll receive the layout as an image, but if it works for you — it simplifies the designer's creative work when conceptualizing the landing page.

Advantages:

• fresh new design ideas for pre-landers and landing pages;
• fast generation of a creative website concept;
• lightens the designer's workload, but doesn't replace them.

Disadvantages:

• considering this is a designer's assistant rather than a website development tool, no real disadvantages were found.

We asked the neural network to create a landing page for weight loss

Prompt: Website landing page for a pills for weight loss pills company, realistic, web design, ux/ui, ux, ui, for female audience — stylize 1000

Creative Uniqueization 

You can upload your own images and ask Midjourney to modify them by adding new elements, colors, or styles. This can breathe new life into your converting creative and make it unique for the AI systems of Facebook, TikTok, and Google.

Advantages:

• fast creative uniqueization;
• updated creatives with new eye-catching elements can deliver a higher CTR and appear unique to the bots.

Disadvantages:

• sometimes AI adds nonsensical elements that partially or completely distort the meaning of the original image.

Overall, as a source of inspiration for designers — it's quite solid.

Midjourney Commands

To use Midjourney, you'll need Discord. The process is fairly straightforward, so we won't go into detail here. Instructions for activating the AI on a Discord server can be found in any search engine. We've compiled a list of commands for you.

Core Commands

• /imagine (generates an image based on your prompt)
• /help (provides useful information and tips about the MJ bot)
• /info (displays information about your profile, plan, usage, etc.)
• /subscribe (allows you to subscribe to the bot)
• /fast (completes tasks faster, but at an additional cost)
• /relax (free of charge, but takes longer. This option is only available on Standard and Corporate plans)
• /show <jobid> (restores any job)
• /private (your jobs are private) (a subscription is required to use this option)
• /public (your jobs are public and can be viewed by anyone, regardless of whether you created them in a thread or in direct messages)

"/imagine" Parameters 

To use additional features, first enter the "/imagine" command, then add keywords. Below are the main ones:

—beta (experimental algorithm)

—hd (older algorithm for higher-quality results)

—version or —v (sets the algorithm to the version in which MJ can be used)

—aspect or —ar (images will be generated with the specified aspect ratio)

—h & —w (sets the height and width of the image)

—seed (defines the style) & —sameseed (all images change in the same way)

—no (excludes elements from the text prompt)

—stop (stops MJ generation)

—video (saves the progress as a video)

Example: "/imagine beautiful overweight girl with jar in her hands and pills around -q3 -iw 0.25"

Image Stylization Commands

Allows you to set the level of image stylization and artistic transformation. Simply put, the lower this parameter, the more natural the image will look.

—stylize 625 or —s 625 (less artistic)

—stylize 1250 or —s 1250 (not as strict, but equally beautiful — recommended for experienced users)

—stylize 2500 or —s 2500 (default value)

—stylize 20000 or —s 20000 (stylization begins)

—stylize 60000 or —s 60000 (style is set to maximum and your image may not resemble the prompt)

Image Quality

Commands that affect image resolution and quality:

—quality 0.25 or —q 0.25 (produces a raw result, but 4x faster and cheaper)

—quality 0.5 or —q 0.5 (less detail, but 2x faster and cheaper)

—quality 1 or —q 1 (default value)

—quality 2 or —q 2 (more detail, but 2x slower and more expensive)

—quality 5 or —q 5 (may produce more refined results, but can also degrade quality — use with caution)

You can use a reference image by attaching it as a link in your prompt description.

Example prompt: /imagine <URL> (example: /imagine https://en.wikipedia.илиg/wiki/Star#/media/File:Starsinthesky.jpg black hole).

ChatGPT and Midjourney are great tools for affiliates, but in our opinion, they won't be able to fully replace roles that involve creative content production.
