Here's how to publish your book on Amazon for a Killer result
Hey everybody! I hope you are doing well. I know I've been a little quiet the past few months, but I have some interesting news and wanted to share a little 'sauce,' if you will, that I came across while writing and publishing my new AI book on Amazon. By the way, I highly recommend that if you have ever wanted to write a book, you just do it!!! Here's my story: #1. I happened to come up with a new way to use AI (July 2025) and wanted to test whether anyone was even interested in learning it, so I posted my ideas on LinkedIn. #2. After about a month of posting almost every day, I had a good idea of what people were thinking and saying, and how to lay out the book (so I thought LOL), and I started writing. #3. I had the first version of about six chapters done and shared it with 10 people on LinkedIn who expressed interest, and 4 of them actually read it. #4. I took their feedback, revised some chapters, and wrote a couple more. #5. I then gave the book out again (V2) and connected with two people who had read the whole book and were willing to jump on a Zoom call with me. #6. As I watched the first person start using AI the way I thought it should be done, I realized she had built her 'AI Intelligence System' correctly but was still using it like a search engine, and I realized I was MISSING half the book. 🤣 #7. So I condensed the now 8 chapters down to 6 and then wrote the second half of the book, showing people how to use AI not like a search engine or an answer machine. (I call it briefing AI like a CEO.) #8. I gave that version of the book (V3) to about 100 people (A mentor of mine a couple of years ago mentioned that when you do write a book, try to get 100 people to read it before you publish it; that will give you the truth you need about whether it should be published) I received more feedback, made some tweaks, and, after writing the book 4 1/2 times, I went ahead and published it. And believe it or not, I hit best-seller status in two days. The 'secret' is to send your Amazon book link to everyone who read it and ask them to buy it at a low price the day after publishing.

Go comment and like the video on YouTube as well ! Lots of cool ideas in this one.

What an interesting problem to solve and what a great way to solve it. And setting up a local AI to do it is the icing on the cake. Well done Sir.
Welcome to Clief Notes. Here's where to start.
1. Go check out 📚Navigating The Course to see how to get around and what's here. 2. Start with The Foundation. Concepts, folder architecture, prompting framework. Everything else builds on this. 3. Check in at the bottom of each lesson. Polls, discussion posts, other members working through the same stuff. Use them. 4. When you're ready to build real things join in on our Biweekly competitions and win some real cash. ⭐ Competitions Mega Thread 5. If you are wanting to dive into the masterminds, grab all the past templates, artifacts and resources. Upgrade and head into the The Vault for Premium and The Drawing Room (VIP) for VIP 6. Post your work. Ask questions. Help others when you can. What are you here to build?

@Marc C. Vasquez Yes it will be an irresistible offer. AI is very good at analyzing data and can help uncover where a business is leaking in many different areas. As a quick example, say you have ten employees making $40 an hour each. If you have a weekly 1-hour meeting and only about 5 minutes of each meeting is focused on each person, they're sitting there for 55 minutes listening to the owner or manager talk, that's a significant cost per month. $36.60 wasted per person X 10 = $360 X 52 = $18,720 per year. This is a bit over-dramatized, but you get the point. With AI, the owner or manager could dictate the entire meeting or ideas into an AI, the AI could assimilate them and send each person their 5-minute marching orders, ideas, or whatever via email, text, Slack, etc. I'm still researching and mapping this out, but I think this is a great use of an AI operating system to help all businesses slow or stop as much leakage as possible.

@Joshua Hubbard The contents of the book are meant to help the business owner understand the different potential leaks in their business, how to actually see them, and how much money they may be losing, not how to build an AI operating system. And yes, researching the book is bringing many more things to light, and it's helping me really figure out what I want to build when I approach a business and say, "Here's what an AI operating system looks like." To answer your second question I believe both things are happening. The book is shaping the product and the product is shaping the book. I will definitely chime in here when I get this all figured out. Thanks for weighing in.
I build AI operations for businesses. Here's what that looks like.
I'm building an AI operations practice. I set businesses up with folder based systems that actually run their work, not just a chatbot that answers questions. Two real examples. First, I built an entire CRM for a mobile vehicle wrap company. It runs the whole business in one place: - Leads come in, the system sorts them and divides them up among the salespeople, then tracks every job through the pipeline. - All the customer messaging lives in one inbox, including Instagram, so nothing slips through. - It runs the money side too. It works out what each person on the team earned, shows who's owed at the end of every week, tracks booked value on a weekly dashboard, and updates a job the moment the customer pays in QuickBooks. - One rule I never break: it tracks and calculates the money, but it never moves a dime. A person makes every actual payment. The system just tells them what's owed. Second, I run one on my own business. I'm a property field inspector, so I made my own operation the first test case: - It builds the weekly routes for me and a few other inspectors on its own, no button push. - It prepares the inspection paperwork automatically, the part that used to eat my evenings. - It never submits anything by itself. A real person reviews every job and does the final, irreversible submit. Notice the same line in both. The hard part isn't getting the AI to do the work. It's deciding what it's not allowed to do without a human. Moving money and the final submit stay with a person. The system runs everything right up to that line. If you're building AI operations for other businesses, how are you drawing that line for your clients? Where do you let the system run on its own, and where do you force a human sign off?

@Bryan Alva Thanks for the breakdown. This is what I'm starting to build. I appreciate the ideas.

@Bryan Alva I'm building out a Foundational AI operating system that stops leakage from local service businesses. I have a couple people I work with but I don't really have a team. I'm documenting everything I'm doing and also writing a book about it.
