Step 3: Creating Your Book using ChatGPT
Using Google Trends, you can find trending topics to write book on. After you’ve found a good topic to create book on, it’s time to actually create your book.
You don’t have to write a single line of the book yourself. ChatGPT will do it for you!
First, you need to find a good topic or title to write your book on. To find that, just go to ChatGPT and type this prompt:
“I want to write an eBook on [YOUR BOOK TOPIC]. Can you give me 10 best ideas to write my book on. I want the ideas to be catchy and something that people actually want to know about.“
After typing this, ChatGPT will come up with 10 different ideas you can write your book about. Choose an idea that you think will sell the best and follow the further process.
To create your book, you can use a simple prompt like this one:
“Create a 20-page eBook tiled [TITLE OF THE BOOK YOU JUST PICKED]. Use the latest data and information while creating the book.“
Within a few seconds, ChatGPT will create the book for you! Even though the book is ready to publish, make sure to manually check the numeric data like dates, number of people involved/injured, etc. to make sure the information in your book is correct.
If you don’t like anything in the book or want more details in your book, then tell it to ChatGPT saying something like “Can you explain more about [the topic/paragraph you want to rewrite]”
To make your book more interesting, you can add data, examples, graphics, etc. ChatGPT can do these all if you ask it to.
Step 4: Creating a Cover Image for Your Book
You can again use ChatGPT to create a cover image for your book. You can use a basic prompt like:
“Can you create a cover image for this book?“
After typing this, ChatGPT will create a cover image for you. As much as I know, you can create up to 5 images everyday for free using ChatGPT. So, creating a cover image will be free as well.
Step 5: Save Your Book as PDF
Even though your book is ready to sell, you need to convert it into a PDF file before you can sell it.
To convert your book into a PDF file, you can either ask ChatGPT to convert the book into a PDF file or you can use free text-to-PDF converter tools on the internet to do it.
Step 6: Uploading Your Book to Google Books
The very final step to sell your book is to upload it to Google Books. To upload your book to Google Books, you need to fill in some basic details like:
• Book Title
• Author Name
• Book Description
• Category
• Price, etc.
You can use again ChatGPT to create the description for your book.
Remember, Google Books takes 30% of every book sold as their commission. If you sell your book for $10, you’ll get $7 and Google will keep $3.
So, price your book accordingly.
