I have made thousands from my ebooks but not by selling them in exchange for someone downloading my free ebook I will receive their email and their name and in this video I'm going to teach you step by step how to create an ebook from scratch then how to create a landing page for it how to Market it and how to actually monetize the email funnel process you are about to uncover one of the greatest methods to monetize an online audience okay it's time to go step by step how to create our ebook now we're going
to be using canva and a few other free tools so stay tuned you can pause this video and follow step by step now on canva you have some default ebook kind of templates you just type in ebook and you'll see them but for this video I'm going to be creating one from scratch now you've typed an ebook and you've got your template you've got the a for format now I'm going to do an ebook for self-development so I'm going to get an image of a mountain but before we dive into that I quickly want to
show you something it's important for your brand to have have a color palette so simply going on Google and type in in color palette you'll be exposed to this website where it will give you color palettes that kind of go together so if you really like the color gold then I recommend kind of trying to find a color gold and then from there you'll be able to kind of build something really professional it's really useful very important so make sure you check that but now going back to our ebook so I've typed in Mountain as
I want someone to be on a mountain I always make the color of my background black for transparency purposes and I've picked this image of a guy on a mountain as I think you know it kind of shows the right message and you can literally just type in anything you want in photos and I think that's the best way to kind of start the ebook now the next part is to experiment with some gradients or you could keep kind of how the photo is in its natural state for me I want to try some gradients
so I played around with a few gradients until I landed on the black one now the next thing was to kind of add a box to my ebook the front cover so that I can put the title of the ebook which is going to be become the best you I think it's important even for when you're branding when you're doing your landing page Etc to have it a name for your ebook and obviously pick a font which matches your Niche so this one's the motivational Niche so I picked one that suits that and then of
course always put by whoever you are so I'm grow with Alex so I put by grow with Alex in the corner it also I think just makes it look slightly more professional so definitely add that and you can see it's already coming together I pck I ended up picking a font which I think very minimalistic and very clean now the next thing was to go to the free version of chat gbt and you can literally type in something like write me a short ebook about how to become the best version of yourself through self developmental
tools or something like that and it will give you a list of ideas for your ebook and you can literally base your whole ebook around this giving it further simple prompts such as expand this point Etc and essentially you can get all your information from here you can literally copy a section type in expand and it will expand that section for you so for example I want to expand section two and it's written everything for me now where I think people go wrong the most with ebooks is just literally copying and pasting exactly what chat
gbt says it isn't always the best readable wording so it doesn't always make sense it's not always clean kind of English so what you want to do is put it through a software which is going to make it a lot cleaner and also not AI detectable if you were ever to do anything further than what we're doing with it now there are two different options for this you have quillbot which has a basic free function but my favorite is refiner ruin. PT and essentially what this does it makes everything super simple and not complex for
your audience which I think for ebooks especially a free one is super super value valuable as sometimes chat GPT you can see that it gives kind of complicated words and it's not necessary so I always put everything through Rowan refer PT and you can see that my ebook is already starting to take shape even though it's only black and white at this point now what you want to do is separate everything into kind of paragraphs just make it look clean you know it doesn't need to be complicated I think people often kind of complicate this
process and then I wanted to create a good introduction so the prompt that I used for that write me a strong introduction for the ebook so instead of it giving me like an example or anything I wanted it to actually write me a strong example so that's what it did and there again what I did was copied that and put it into my refiner and you can see that it also makes it a lot shorter a lot cleaner so I got that pasted it into my ebook you can see refine it so easy to use
pasted it again played around with the size of the text usually I just do this manually instead of putting in a certain number in the top left so all to to me it's all about the visual how does it look and I think playing with it manually is the best option and you know at this point I think it's looking pretty good what I wanted to do was just make this look more professional so I thought why don't I add something to do with growth and I saw this first picture a good thing you can
do on canvas if you go to edit photo and the BG remover it will remove the background so I had this guy with a tree in his hand and all I needed to do is make it kind of fit the page and you can see the page has already stting to take shape and it already kind of looks professional you know it's really not complicated the next thing I want to to do was add a gradient or something to the background to make it kind of not as black and plain and you just put that
go to position go to your back and make the transparency somewhere in the middle just so that you know it's not too in your face but it just adds a bit more life to the ebook and essentially you just copy and paste this method like now I've got my gradient I can literally go duplicate page change the text change the title change the image and we just repeat the process and I promised you that in about 40 minutes maybe even less you could have an unreal ebook now again I just play around with some of
the text make some of it Glow Etc simply go to effects when you press the text and you can see it's already really starting to take shape if I was to spend another half an hour on this it would be done but not only that I'm providing free value for my audience so my audience is going to really enjoy this and give me their details when you download it or when you want to finish it go to PDF standard and that's about it and make sure all the pages that you want to incorporate are ticked
press done press download and there is your ebook which you can then upload to the next section guys make sure you go to the next section as I'm about to show you what you can actually do with this ebook and how it can generate you thousands it's not hard to create guys this is one of the best ways to really monetize your traffic let's move over to the next section guys remember if you have any questions at any point in this video want me to expand on a certain point and make another video Simply let
me know in the comment section and if you like the video make sure you like it so I know building your landing page in my opinion using a platform such as gumroad which is completely free is a great way to start and build your data list so here is an example of one of my food pages and the free ebook that we provide and we are using gumroad as the host you can simply use chat gbt and canva to kind of brand this page people will put 0 and be able to download the ebook and
trust me this method Works once you start building this email list you can simply go to gun Road and download it as a SV and you will have a list of all the people who have downloaded your ebook which brings us on to the next section so we've created our ebook we have a landing page and we are now collecting data or emails now it's about the email marketing the first thing we need to to do is to find an ESP which is an email service provider some of the popular ones that you've probably heard
of are MailChimp active campaign the list goes on a simple Google search and you'll find loads now you also can do this manually if you want to save money if there is any point in this video where I would want you to invest it would be at this point now in terms of your emails here is what I recommend you do use chat GPT and again again use a rewording tool to provide value to your audience so for example for us we provide free recipes or content related to food for our food page but if
you're a motivational page you could provide tips self-development tips you could literally do anything it's all about value the reason to use an ESP as opposed to do it manually as with software you can create campaigns you can automate it you can schedule it Etc so it is worth it the next section is all about monetization and how to actually make money with these emails and why you need to do it so now you understand the whole process and how to actually send emails now within our email is how we're actually going to make money
now this is dependent on what Niche you're in I'm going to discuss this for my food page so when we send out our emails at the bottom we will always have a call to action which is money related for us so an example for this is this air fryer is currently 30% off click here and you simply put a hyperlink to an affiliate marketing product now the reason why I really recommend using these emails and using the call to action at the bottom is because your Instagram page or your online presence elsewhere you don't want
to be promoting too heavily on that as it will affect your growth and taking your audience to another platform such as your emails will allow you to push sales more allowing you to constantly get an audience to your email list and still generating sales so guys you don't want to become a Spam account to turn your emails into how you attract sales you can do affiliate marketing you can do Drop Shipping guys and one of the most popular methods is once you have a popular email list you can sell promotional space so for example let's
say my food page I can reach out to kitchen gadget Pages kitchen equipment businesses and say to them look I have an email list with a few thousand people would you like a slot in there they could potentially offer me money or a affiliate link so there are plenty of different ways to really leverage these email lists and I really think that this is the future for most online businesses and again I want you to remember that you can still sell on your online profiles but you are diversifying your audience you know let's say worst
case scenario your account gets deleted you still have your email list guys if you want me to dive deeper into any section in this video just let me know in the comments my name is Alex and I'm all about online business and growth let's grow
