I've sold tens of thousands of dollars worth of ebooks and you can honestly do the same a few years ago I was working at Netflix and I hated my job I needed something to start to make money online but I didn't want to work 8 hours a day so I needed like semi- passive income that's when I discovered ebooks and it honestly changed my freaking life the good thing about ebooks is that really anyone can make them you don't need any skills you don't need to be a writer you don't need to be a designer
and with the method that I do that nobody's really talking about here on YouTube you can get your ebook up and ready in under one day now you might think well energy I don't have anything that I could talk about like in an ebook that I could sell I promise you if you have gone through life and you have had any problems in life you have an ebook idea that could make you at least $1,000 a month so like for me I worked customer service jobs I was a College Dropout I thought I didn't really
have any skills but I did have problems that I had solved in my life so I used to be bald I shave my head right and then I was able to grow out my hair long using all natural methods and creating my own shampoos conditioners stuff like that with just like plants and foods and stuff I ended up turning that into a eBook where I taught other people how to do the same and they got good results now that I have more skills I can make an ebook about how to start a YouTube channel about
how to get freelancing clients as a writer because I used to be a writer I can make an ebook about you know how to use AI tools for Content creation because that's taking my own problems and experiences and turning it into a book so I wanted to look at you what have you done did you learn how to to beat your sugar Cravings did you learn how to improve the way that you dress or find your personal style did you learn how to break into an industry or a field when you know you got rejected
so many times if you can help people get from point A to point B and solve something that is very very problematic in their life then you have an ebook idea and trust me you have something if you went through life without having any problems or with having a lot of problems that you never solved I don't think that you would even be here right now right once we have our ebook idea we're going to actually start creating the ebook don't worry it's super super simple let's go ahead and start with the cover for this
example I want to create an ebook about how to travel the world for cheap because that's exactly what I did when I was broke there's a bunch of tools that you can use but I'm going to use KD because I found that it's way more advanced than something like canva but a lot easier to use than something like illustrator or photoshop now I reached out to them to sponsor this part of the video so if you want to make your own ebook then use my code and get 25% off any of their plans the link
for that is going to be in the description but let's go ahead and create our ebook cover to create our ebook cover in KD we're first going to type ebook into the search bar that's going to bring up a bunch of different options and KD has really really professional looking covers I found this cooking themed cover but I'm actually going to change that to something that is travel based I'm just going to delete everything in the middle and then I will generate my own image using AI so I'll click on this image generator and I
can put whatever that I want to I just want to generate a woman that is traveling and KD has a bunch of different styles that you can choose from but I want to try anime just cuz I don't know I just been really into anime lately this is the image that the AI generated and honestly I'm totally fine with it so I'm just going to make this a bit bigger and then I'm going to send it to the back for this you don't need to be a designer it's just like drag and drop and replace
the elements but the design is already created I do want to use this AI background remove tool so I can cut out just the girl and make her a bit bigger from here everything is really about switching what already is here so I'm going to change this text I'm going to go to the elements Tab and type in like maybe I want some money to be there rather than a broccoli right that doesn't make sense I can choose from thousands of different pictures and I want it to be where this broccoli is so I'm going
to click on the broccoli and then I'm going to click on this one and just press replace so that the money can be right in the same position I'm just going to adjust the size a little bit and then I also want to put like a border around the money because I feel like right now um it Blends in too much with this color so I'm just going to go over here to border and like this is one of the features that I feel like you know is really really good about K I'm going to
put that border there you see how it creates this like really nice border so everything is separated I'm going to play around with this a little more and then I'll show you what my final cover looks like so this is what my final cover looks like I didn't change this text but you guys understand it will be something that I wrote there and this looks so professional it looks so cool and it honestly looks so eye-catching as well okay now we're going to create the interior and you don't need to be a designer you don't
need to be a writer this AI method is like it's crazy actually what AI can do nowadays so the first step we're going to do is figure out what the heck actually needs to be in our book because we want to give these people a transformation that they're not going to get anywhere else the number one way I like to do this is through comment fishing now this is where I go through different types of forums different videos different internet materials to understand like what people in my Niche want and what they need help with
from there I'm going to write down all their questions in a document and then put my own answers there actually made a notion template for you guys so you guys can download this like ebook research template in the description as well so if I'm making a book about how to travel abroad for cheap then I'm going to look at some travel videos or some travel Reddit forums or Kora forums or whatever forums that you want from doing that I found in this travel video I just went to the comment section and the questions that I
found was how do you still make money and travel and then go back home again like how do you keep a job um can you give any advice on how to stay safe as a Sol solo female traveler and how do things like work trading or volunteering in exchange for housing how do they work and what happens when they go wrong and I have experience with that because it like a lot of things went wrong for me when when I was doing work trade I had to escape okay and so I would be able to
give advice on that I want you to put all of those things in a document and then you're ready for the Second Step which is brain dumping to do this brain dump we're going to take our phone and we're going to open the voice notes app if you have that one um there's one built into iPhone I don't know about Android with your voice notes app I want you to answer every single question that you just wrote down so if the question is how do you handle like a work trade or volunteering opportunity that went
wrong then I would say hey first things first don't you know go to the forest in the middle of Hawaii um with the pigs and the cows um and nobody else around with no service right that's the first step and I would just answer the question based on whatever I have to say and I'm going to do it in my own voice that way I can take this voice note transcribe it upload it to chat gbt and have it written out into an actual book that is my own voice because if you guys do this
method like the other methods that people are talking about like oh just ask CH Chad gbt what to write and it's going to write it for you honey nobody's going to buy that book because it sounds like AI it sounds stupid right it needs to be in your own voice in your own way and if you guys know how to talk you guys know how to write a book so let me show you how to actually do that using two free programs to start let's open Microsoft Word it's completely free and we're going to create
create a new document we're going to head over to this dictate feature now in dictate you get two options one of those options is dictate the other is transcribe now transcribe used to be free you used to be able to just um upload like a voice memo or a voice recording but I just found out that they actually switched it to paid which is annoying so pay for it if you want to um but another thing that you can use is just the dictate feature itself with the dictate feature you will just have to talk
into your computer or your Microsoft Word app or whatever you're using now this is still completely free so hopefully they don't put this behind a pay wall too from here the dictation is going to write down everything that we say I want you to talk normally and answer each of those questions on the list from doing that I have this little excerpt I'm going to copy this and I'm going to take it into chat GPT for chat GPT there is a free plan that you can use right now I'm using gbt 4 from here I'm
just going to Pace down like that little brain dump that I did in um Microsoft Word and then what I'm going to do is paste this prompt you guys can pause the video and see but it's basically just saying turn this brain dump into an a thousand-word chapter add any relevant information and you know copy my own tone of voice my own style and my own voice this is how it's going to sound exactly like you and not like an AI this is because like people don't really want to read AI stuff because it's not
really that good it's not really as good as people you know lead you to believe so from here this is what chat gbt gave me it added a bunch of extra information and extra steps just from that little brain dump that we gave it now the more that you put in your brain dump obviously the better response that you're going to get from chat GPT do this over and over and over for each question question that we found in our research that people want to know the answer for this way you don't have to be
a writer you don't have to be like perfect you could just be a normal person talking and chat gbt will make it into a book now that we have our book actually written and if you guys are asking how long it needs to be make it as long or as short as it needs to be it probably doesn't need to be 100 Pages my ebook was around 30 pages if it's 30 make it 30 if it's 50 make it 50 you don't need to add stuff or try to make it short just put the put
whatever it takes to get people from point A to point B in that book all right and now that we have our text we're going to head back to KD and put it in the actual book and add some design now it's time to create the interior pages and one thing that I really really like about KD is that it has something called um infinite artboards to where you can just press this artboard button and then you can create something right here so that is going to be our next page this is really really cool
because you can create your ebook here but say you want to like you know also create another like social media post or logo or something like that you can come here and have that created as well that way you can see how everything works together in like the bigger picture I personally think that that's really cool so in order to create our interior Pages it is super easy I'm going to create this page and then I'm just going to copy it and paste it so that I always have like a blank page of available for
the interior Pages again you don't have to be this really cool designer what we're going to do is start with an image on the top for each chapter now this going to be an image that K already provides you or it could be an AI generated image I'm going to choose AI generated because I want to stick with like the anime travel theme for this book once my image is generated all I'm going to do is just place it on top okay very very simple I'm then going to go to this text part and then
go to the paragraph button and show all KD has a bunch of different paragraph designs that you can choose from so I think I want to choose this one because it looks cool to me once I put the paragraph here you can see that everything is starting to just come together and look really really cool in our book like this looks so professional from here it's just about copy and pasting everything from our Word document into this text part and by the end of that you will have your full creative book I'm not going to
create the whole thing right now cuz this video will be long but it's like just put an image put some text right that's all you have to do for the next page you don't have to put an image if you don't want to it can just be all text or if you have anything else you want to add you can add it very easily when you're done just download everything as a PDF combine into one file and you're finally done with your ebook you guys see how easy that was I'm telling you like in 2024
there's no excuse not to have it at least one ebook created you guys can make as many ebooks as you want to about as many topics as you possibly can right they don't need to be related even but where do you actually sell these ebooks like once you created them well I'm always going to suggest having your own website and the reason is is because you can control a lot of things you can control the prices you guys can control the design stuff like that so if you want to have your own website I suggest
something like hostinger or Squarespace um if you're going to be selling a lot of different ebooks or if like want to sell you know physical products and digital products or digital products and services then I would suggest having something like Shopify for all of these things you guys can get the link in my description and it'll give you some kind of discount there's also more simple tools that don't require a lot of design such as stand store or Gum Road but if you're like you know what energy I just want an algorithm that can bring
me traffic I don't want to have to do a lot of marketing then you're going to look into uploading your book on something like Etsy uh which is what I did because I already had an Etsy shop at the time or you can look at something like Amazon KDP the thing about this is just that they're going to take more fees right and so I don't I like to keep as much money as possible and I also think that if you're selling on Etsy or Amazon your customers have like a lot of other options that
they can compare it to so they might choose to go with another option compared to if they're only on your website they only have your products to choose from both are totally fine it just depends like on which one you prefer really and if you want to have an algorithm on your side or not but after you upload your products to the website how do you actually Market those because marketing is like the only thing that's really going to get you sales it doesn't matter if you just have a book right you guys need to
Market it and get it out in front of people well I made a whole video on marketing and I'm going to put it up here somewhere on the screen and I'm going to link it below in the pinned comment I hope this video helped you guys if you have more questions just let me know in the comments below and I'll see you guys in my next video
