Using AI To Write Ebooks For Amazonā€™s KDP

Iā€™ve talked about books and publishing on Amazon a few times already, but I continue to get questions about the actual writing of the books.

Let me start by saying that in my experience, you can use AI for non-fiction books but itā€™s not a great idea for fiction.

You see, with non-fiction there is bound to be tons of blog posts out there on your topic that AI has trained on.

Letā€™s say you want to write a book on some psychology topic. Well, the AI more than likely trained on authoritative sites like Psychology Today.

And that means youā€™ll end up with AI content that works for ebooks.

Also with non-fiction, itā€™s normal for books to be shorter in length than your average fiction book. And thatā€™s great since chatGPT likes to deliver short replies to your queries.

Iā€™ve also had requests to explain what I mean by ā€œnon-fiction.ā€ I can only assume this is due to some of you not really knowing the variety of topics you can cover with non-fiction.

While you can browse the non-fiction categories on Amazon or any online bookstore, hereā€™s some non-fiction niche ideas for you -

  • cookbooks

  • history

  • informational guides on pretty much anything (see the ā€˜For Dummiesā€™ series)

  • politics

  • natural health (is that what itā€™s called?) - things like alternative natural remedies

  • survival - things like everything you can eat in the wild, etc.

And this is just me scratching the surface of what you can do.

So, spend some time on Amazon seeing what others are doing. Or, just get on the email list of this guy and wait to see what hot niches he sends you.

The last person I sent that link to told me they had to dig around the site to find the email list sign up, so know that in advance.

I also had someone challenge me to TRY writing a fiction book with AI - and I think I will accept that challenge because I think it will be a flop.

Iā€™ve never published any fiction books, so weā€™ll see how this goes. Iā€™ll use chatGPT for the book content and Iā€™ll use Midjourney for the cover image.

But since chatGPT does short content, I first need to identify a fiction niche where itā€™s normal to have short books.

Iā€™ll keep you updated on how this goes.

Also, lemme know if you decided to give this idea a try as well!

Beehiiv Ads Giveaway Update & Winner

Okay, so Iā€™ve got the final total for the ads earnings for July that Iā€™m giving away.

screenshot taken earlier this week

And this is my first time earning from Beehiiv ads for any of my Beehiiv newsletters. So, I learned that they donā€™t just automatically pay you.

Instead, it goes into your online ā€œwalletā€ and you have to request payout.

So, Iā€™ve done that ā€¦. the extra monies you see in the screenshot is the paltry amount this newsletter has earned from Boosts. Final total for the winner is the $217.20.

It hit my bank account yesterday.

Iā€™ve already used the random number generator to pick the winner and sent an email to that person. Iā€™ll share their name once I get a reply back.

If your email address starts with midā€¦.and is a Gmail.com addy, check your inbox and spam folder for an email from me!

Had a total of 86 entries - while you can get multiple entries by clicking the ad in each email that has an ad, some of you clicked a single ad several timesā€¦.but I only count that once cause it only pays me once.

And only 3 people had a click in every mail (a total of 8 emails with ads) that contained an ad.

Canā€™t wait to see how much goes out to the August winner!

Next Timeā€¦

Iā€™ll be out of town for a few days seeing family, so expect the next few newsletters to be shorter (I hope). Iā€™m trying to write what I can in advance.

If time permits, maybe more tips and ideas on Etsy and KDP. I also had a request for more details on how Iā€™m getting local newsletter subscribers.

Are any of you doing local newsletters?

Otherwise, if you have a topic you want covered just reply and let me know.

Stay awesome,

Shawna

P.S. Beehiiv just changed the newsletter game - you now get a custom app for your newsletter (in addition to the first 2,500 subs for free). Havenā€™t turned the app for this newsletter on yet though.
