1. eBooks
Writing a book can take a long time to research, structure, and write. Here are all the ChatGPT prompts you need to do all of that in a fraction of the time it usually takes.
Structure your eBook
If you’re not sure how to structure your eBook, then ask ChatGPT to help you out. The more context you can give here, the better.
Prompt: I am writing an ebook on [TOPIC]. The target audience is [XXX] and I want to help my audience to [XXX]
I want my ebook to include the following topics: [TOPIC 1] [TOPIC 2] …
It should be structured as a how-to book as follows: 1. Introduction. 2. First Step. 3. Second Step. 4. Third Step... Conclusion.
Please brainstorm 3 different structures for my ebook.
Writing Your eBook
In theory, ChatGPT can write your whole book. The problem is, without adding your own personal flavor, opinion, and expertise – it will be generic. So, the secret sauce is to add as much context as possible. You are the expert, and ChatGPT is your minion. Use it accordingly.
PLEASE NOTE: ChatGPT is far from perfect. You will still have to proofread and edit the text to make sure it is accurate, engaging, and not completely embarrassing. ChatGPT is a tool, not a professional ghostwriter.
Use micro-prompts
Rather than asking ChatGPT to write whole chapters, ask it to write specific sections and feed it as much detail as possible.
Prompt: I am writing an eBook called [TITLE]. Write an introduction for a Chapter called [XXX]. The introduction for this chapter should hook the reader and convince them that it is important they read this chapter in full. In particular, it is important that this chapter talks about [XXX].
Use as much detail as possible
Prompt: I am writing an ebook called [TITLE]. I want you to write a case study about one of my clients. The case study should be emotional, and use storytelling to highlight the effectiveness of my services. Base the case study on the following facts:
