How to Make Money Using AI to Write E-Books (Even If You’ve Never Written Before)
Most people don’t realize this yet, but we’re living through one of the biggest content opportunities in history. AI makes it possible for anyone, not just writers, to create and sell e-books that solve real problems, build an audience, and generate income. And you don’t need to be an expert. You just need a topic people care about and a system for packaging the knowledge. Here’s how you can do it: 1. Find a Problem People Are Actively Searching For Great e-books don’t start with inspiration, they start with demand. People will pay for shortcuts, clarity, and guidance through stressful or confusing life events. Here’s a real example: The Wedding Planner Who Discovered a Hidden Opportunity A guy was planning his wedding and realized something surprising: There are thousands of books, guides, blogs, and videos on wedding planning… But almost nothing on how to navigate a divorce. Not the emotional stuff, the process: - how to prepare financially - how to separate assets - how to handle custody - how to hire the right attorney - how to avoid common mistakes He realized this was a painful moment, but also a high-demand niche where people desperately want guidance. So he turned it into a business. 2. Use AI to Write a High-Value E-Book Fast He outlined the key topics, then used AI (ChatGPT + Claude) to help: - Expand each chapter - Add expert-style explanations - Provide examples, checklists, and frameworks - Format everything into a clean, readable guide Instead of taking 6 months, it took 6 days. He spent time editing the tone, adding personal stories, and making it feel human. The AI did the heavy lifting and he did the polishing. 3. Run Simple Facebook Ads to Test Demand With a $20–$50/day budget, he ran a series of ads Within a week: - he sold hundreds of copies - his email list exploded - people asked for more support He now had something far more valuable: attention. 4.
