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. Partner With Professionals Who Want the Same Audience
Here’s where it gets interesting.
Divorce attorneys need clients, and they pay good money for leads.
He reached out to several attorneys and offered:
“I have readers actively looking for guidance on divorce.
I can send them your way. Let’s partner.”
He set up:
- a simple lead form
- a referral tracking link
- an affiliate-style arrangement
Suddenly, the e-book became:
- a lead magnet
- a traffic engine
- a partnership tool
- a recurring income stream
Some attorneys paid per lead.
Others paid monthly retainers.
Some sponsored the next edition of the book.
The single e-book turned into a small media business.
5. How You Can Do the Same
This strategy works for almost any niche:
- weight loss for beginners
- first-time real estate investing
- how to start over after a job loss
- seniors caring for aging parents
- how to build confidence after a breakup
- budgeting for single parents
- anxiety management for teenagers
- how to prepare for your first triathlon
- specific trades/business advice
The formula is the same:
- Find a real problem
- Use AI to write the solution
- Package it into an e-book
- Test it quickly with ads
- Build partnerships around the audience
You’re not selling pages.
You’re selling clarity, guidance, and speed.
6. Your Edge: AI Does 70% of the Work
You don’t need to be a writer.
You don’t need a publishing deal.
You don’t need to spend months typing in a coffee shop.
AI handles:
- research
- outlining
- drafting
- editing
- formatting
- rewriting in different tones
- turning chapters into checklists or templates
- designing covers (with Midjourney/DALL·E)
This lets you focus on:
- choosing the niche
- refining the message
- connecting with partners
- marketing
You’re the strategist.
AI is your writing team.
AI didn’t just make writing easier, it made publishing a real business model for normal people.
One good idea + one targeted audience + one e-book =
A digital product + an email list + partnerships + recurring revenue.
