If I had a 9-5 and wanted a way out...

I wouldn't buy stocks.
I wouldn't start a dropshipping store.
I wouldn't invest in real estate.

I'd use AI to create quality books, self-publish them on Amazon, and repeat until I hit $5,000+/month.

Here's exactly how it works:

The opportunity right now is insane.

AI tools like ChatGPT and BookBeam have made it possible to create professional books in days instead of months.

But here's the key:

You're not just letting AI write everything.

You're using AI strategically to speed up the process while keeping quality high.

Step 1: Find profitable niches (30 minutes)

Use BookBeam to research what's already selling on Amazon.

Look for books with:

• 50-500 reviews
• Self-published
• Consistent sales

AI helps you analyze data faster, but you're looking for proven demand.

Step 2: Use AI for research and outlining (1 hour)

ChatGPT can:

• Generate topic ideas in your niche
• Create detailed book outlines
• Research competing books
• Write compelling titles and subtitles

This used to take me days. Now it takes an hour.

Step 3: Create the content (Days 1-5)

Here's where you have options:

Option A: Hire a ghostwriter ($500-$2,000) - what I do most
Option B: Use AI + heavy editing for shorter books
Option C: Combine both for best results

The key?

Quality matters more than speed.

Step 4: Get a professional cover (Days 2-3)

You can use:

• Fiverr designers ($100-$150)
• AI tools like Midjourney for concepts
• Professional design services

Your cover stops the scroll. Don't cheap out here.

Step 4: Get a professional cover (Days 2-3)

You can use:

• Fiverr designers ($100-$150)
• AI tools like Midjourney for concepts
• Professional design services

Your cover stops the scroll. Don't cheap out here.

Step 5: Format and optimize (Day 6)

AI tools can help with:

• Book descriptions
• Keyword research
• Formatting for multiple formats
• Author bio

This used to be tedious. Now it's automated.

Step 6: Launch strategically (Day 7)

Use AI to:

• Analyze competitor strategies
• Create launch plans
• Write promotional copy
• Generate ad copy variations

Then execute:

Reviews + Amazon ads + promotion sites.

The math on this is simple:

One quality book = $100-$500/month passive income
Create 10-20 books = $1,000-$10,000/month

I've published 300+ books since 2014. Made over $1,000,000 in royalties. Never lost money on a single book.

Real example from my program:

Someone published a book that struggled initially - rank sitting at 391,000.

After optimizing the product page and Amazon ads based on my guidance, his rank jumped to 44,000 in just a few weeks.

He wrote: "Last 4 days were the best sales I've made outside a free promo period."

The book now has 4.9 stars with 220+ reviews.

The potential was there. It just needed the right strategy.

The difference between 2014 and 2026?

Back then, everything took longer and cost more.

Today, AI cuts your time by 70% and costs by 50%.

You can create a profitable book in 7 days for under $1,000 with just a laptop, BookBeam, and ChatGPT.

I went from 6pm-6am warehouse shifts to passive income while having lunch with my daughters every day.

Now with AI, you can build this faster than I did.

The key? Use AI as a tool, not a replacement for quality.

Speed up research and creation, but always prioritize what readers actually want.

In 8+ years, I've never lost money on a book.

With AI making the process faster and cheaper, the risk is even lower now.

You just need to start.
