Here’s a complete step-by-step guide to help you create and sell AI-generated and human-perfected 🙂 ebooks successfully.

Step 1: Choose a Profitable Ebook Topic

Before you start writing, pick a high-demand topic that people are already searching for. Search on Google Trends for some trending keywords. Check out Amazon bestsellers for what’s trending. Some profitable Niches to consider :

• Self-Improvement (mindfulness, productivity, habit-building)
• Finance & Money Management (budgeting, investing, side hustles)
• Health & Wellness (fitness guides, mental health, nutrition)
• Business & Marketing (social media strategies, freelancing, entrepreneurship)
• Hobby & Lifestyle (travel guides, DIY crafts, home organization)

You can even go to YouTube for some inspiration.

Step 2: Use AI to Generate Ebook Content

Once you have the idea of what you want to write about, AI can help you write full ebooks, guides, and workbooks in minutes. Let AI do the heavy lifting in terms of template generation. Remember, you still need to add in your magic after the template is generated. Best AI Tools for Writing templates for Ebooks:

• ChatGPT / Claude AI – Generate structured, high-quality text.
• Jasper AI – SEO-optimized, long-form content.
• Writesonic – AI-powered blog & ebook generator.

Use this structured prompt to generate well-organized content:

“Write a [# of pages] ebook on [topic]. Include an introduction, [# of chapters] with subheadings, actionable steps, and a conclusion. Write in a conversational and engaging tone.” Use this prompt: “Write a 30-page ebook on ‘How to Start a Profitable Etsy Shop.’ Include an introduction, 5 detailed chapters covering niche selection, product creation, SEO, marketing, and scaling. End with a conclusion and bonus tips.” This will give you a template; add sections where it is relevant.

Step 3: Edit & Refine Your AI-Generated Ebook

AI content needs a human touch for quality and originality. And originality sells! So, this is the most important section for you to make sales. AI should ONLY be your assistant!

AI hallucinates! Check for factual accuracy. Add the human element to it. Make it engaging. Add some personal insights, case studies, and examples. Make it SIMPLE! Remove unnecessary overformatting. Use bullet points, short paragraphs, and bold/italic highlights. Improve readability and grammar via Grammarly.

Step 4: Design a Beautiful Ebook (Without Design Skills!)

If you are just a geek and not a designer, use AI as your assistant and generate beautiful content. Pretty sells! A well-designed ebook increases sales and makes your content more engaging. Use Canva for drag-and-drop kind of designs. Customize your brand colors. Use Visme for Professional layouts for reports & guides. Add charts, icons, and images. Stick to clean, readable fonts like Lato or Open Sans. Add links to resources, affiliate products, or your website. Offer both PDF & editable Canva versions to increase value!

Step 5: Create a Compelling Cover & Sales Page

Your ebook cover and sales page play a huge role in conversions. Again, pretty sells. Use Canva or BookBolt for professional-looking covers. Make the title bold & easy to read. Add a high-quality background image related to the topic. Use DALL·E, GoogleImageFX or MidJourney to create custom AI artwork for unique covers.
