Secret Trainings
While many will spend weeks researching to find a book niche you will be publishing and earning. The biggest issue holding people back is your need to choose the "perfect" topic that will make money, instead consider building a huge catalog so that as time changes you always are making money.
How To Hit Publish
Creating Books Comes First
For most this may seem silly, but there are issues for many “wanna be” publishers where they get lost in the pages. They want a Stephen King quality to everything meaning they publish near nothing. Instead change your perspective and hit publish, preferably daily.
Tools can help you to increase this speed of publishing, personally I use eBook Writer AI and this secret course is focused on that platform and KDP. Why KDP you may wonder, well for me its access to a near worldwide population and adding on additional services only fractionally increases that userbase, so its worth very little versus publishing more to the greatest amount of possible buyers.
Phase One
Finding Cracks In eBooks
Building a list of lower competition but higher potential value using Claude or ChatGPT to get ideas of books to write about before I start using eBook Writer AI.
Personally I choose to use ChatGPT while logged out so there is no influence from any previous searches. This tends to provide a better list of results without additional noise. I would suggest giving each a try and comparing them yourself and you may see something similar, especially if you have used ChatGPT previously.
Search the web, and Amazon, and create a list of 10 underserved, high in search volume, highest in sales volume, and lowest in competition, high content, within the "xyz" topic as an ebook for KDP
You can specify any amount instead of 10, or any specific topic/niche like sports, crafts, hobbies, etc you want chat gpt to give you
Phase Two
Prune Down To High Value Topics
Now we will ask the AI to help us consider high value for us against the list provided in phase one above. This begins the process of assembling data to prep for the book creation.
When you click the Google Sheet Link above you will get taken to my ebook template and how I track everything I create and have for easy reuse or access. Make sure to click "File" then "Make a Copy" so you will have a version on your Google account to track your work.
Narrow down the list to the best ones with highest sales potential based on profitability
Now using the Google Sheet above you want to copy and paste the ones you like from whats provided into the sheet.
Phase Three
Building Titles and Descriptions for Topics
Now that you have some good concepts you will need to expand on one or more of them to get information to provide to eBook Writer AI and after that Kindle so this step prepares you.
Provide a keyword optimized and Non-Commodity title and subtitle for the topic(s) I choose. (insert topics from sheet you liked) and limit the length of both to under 300 characters.
Document all this information into your spreadsheet and then continue to grow out the idea with the below prompt, all this is gathering to help get the book writing started and to fill in the KDP information.
Given this topic can you help me build a brief and ebook context for assigning to a writer and keep to under 4000 characters – (insert title(s)
Continue to document all this information into your spreadsheet.
Give me a thorough ebook description for Kindle Publishing and use anywhere from 15 to 20 lowest competitive keywords within the description. Include what's inside the book, and who it is for section.
Give me the best 3 amazon kdp and paperback categories as well as the best, lowest competition 7 keywords to place into the 7 keyword boxes
If you can fit 2 or more keywords that chat gpt gives you into one of the 7 keyword boxes, you can do that and ask for more keywords to fill into the remaining 7 keyword boxes. Don't use a comma, just use a space to separate each entered keyword. Amazon will use any combination from any of the words in the boxes to rank your book. I get 10 or more keywords instead of 7, and copy and paste that into the document.Max characters is 50 per box, don't duplicate words in one box.
Phase Four
Building Your Author Avatar
Most, including myself, use a pen name for their books to ensure some level or provacy from intrusion. Build the avatar here for use in your books.
Provide me a list of 20 author names that would create (xyz content type).
Take time to look through these names, find one that resonates with you.
to give me a brief Author's Bio for the book for {Author's Name} put in any Name for the Author
I use the same Author's Name for all of my books for better discoverability. When or if they search in Amazon for the Author's Name, all of your books will show up in the search results.
You want to copy and paste that into the Google Sheet.
Phase Five
Begin Creating Your eBook
Start putting all of this information into each of the sections within ebook writer ai
I'll frequently create 6 to 12 campaigns in eBook Writer AI at once to have the ability to bulk post for a week at once, instead of day by day.
Within the context area I will frequently choose to start off this this prompt to kind of prep the AI for writing which has given very good results:
I want you to be my co writer for an ebook. Your role is a master storyteller and narrative non fiction author. Your writing style should be engaging, clear, and human, like you are telling a fascinating story to a curious friend. Adhere to these core rules for all content you generate. Your tone must be conversational and compelling, avoiding a dry or robotic voice. Your technique should focus on showing, not telling, using sensory details and strong verbs. Your language must be vivid and original, without clichés or formal jargon. Finally, you must vary your sentence length for a natural rhythm. Here is the context for my book:
Once the books are all created, I then go to the downloads tab in ebook writer and download the epub version and covers of each book and save it to my desktop "ebooks" folder I created, then inside I create a folder for each book to hold the epub and book cover.
Phase Six
Adding a Book to KDP
Head over to Amazon KDP and start the ebook uploading process and enter in the fields: Title, sub-title, description, categories, keywords, etc.
Upload the epub version of the manuscript.and the image using the ebook creator, and follow and answer all the rest of the prompts that it asks to fill out.
Once the ebook has been priced and uploaded. I then immediately start the paperback uploading process. AMazon will show a popup window with a button saying "Start your paperback" button in the popup window. I click on it and start the paperback uploading process.
It will ask you the same questions as the ebook, but keywords will remain the same. It will ask again for 3 categories, and for the manuscript and cover image again, so the process is about 90% done already.
Use the same categories chat gpt gave you already, why you documented this in the Google Sheet right??.
Price the book and you have done both the ebook and paperback in one flow.
I price my ebooks for $9.99, and I price my paperback books for $15.99 but it's up to you whatever you want to price the book.
Once the ebook status is "Live", I then click on the promote button next to the ebook title and set up a 5 day free ebook promotion, for all of the ebook, once they go live. HUGE and Effective:
You will gain discoverability and in some cases paperback sales even though the ebook version is free.
Once the ebooks are finished with the 5 day free promotion, amazon then gives and places the BSR rank of your book for rank. Some may get a #1 new release badge that shows up in the description of your book for a category you have chosen for the book. I have been getting some books in the top 100 in a category. Even if you get a high BSRm you can still see sales regardless due to it being an underserved book, that is a huge advantage over competition.
