If you’re looking for passive income, eBooks are an entrepreneur’s dream. They’re simple to create, and when it is complete you can sell it forever with minimal extra effort.
If your eBook ranks on Amazon, then you gain exposure to a completely new type of audience. That means eBooks work wonderfully in conjunction with other digital products. For example, if you have a course, it can be a great funnel that leads potential customers to that course.
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.
PLEASE NOTE: You are the author of the book, not ChatGPT. Use ChatGPT strategically to help you save time. You need to feed it context, data and, information. If you rely solely on ChatGPT, your book will be too generic to enjoy any success.
1. eBook Titles That Sell
Your eBook title should grab someone’s attention, create excitement and generate anticipation – all in a few words. If you’re struggling, then ChatGPT is your friend.
Titles that solve problems
Prompt: I am writing an eBook. It is about [TOPIC]. My target audience is [TARGET AUDIENCE].
Write me a title that: - Tells the reader how your eBook will benefit them. - How it will solve their problem. - How it will answer their questions.
Examples: “Fall in Love With This One Simple Technique” “Use My System to Become a Successful Forex Trader” “The Secret Food That Prevents Colds.
Make a big promise
Prompt: I am writing an eBook. It is about [TOPIC]. My target audience is [TARGET AUDIENCE].
Write me a title that proposes a “big promise” that will be sure to grab the reader’s attention.
Examples “I Will Show You How to Lose 10 Kilos in 4 Weeks” “How to Make a Six Figure Salary on Only 10 Hours a Week of Work” “How to Add 10 Years on to Your Life”
‘How to’ titles

Write me a title that includes 'How to' in the title.

2. 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.
3. 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:
[INSERT DETAILS]
