About the Opportunity
Looking to start a digital income stream with zero prior experience? As a Self-Taught eBook Builder, you’ll learn to create, format, and publish nonfiction books to Amazon’s Kindle platform — without writing anything manually or hiring freelancers.
This is a self-driven, royalty-based remote publishing role. You’ll follow a structured content production system powered by artificial intelligence and beginner-friendly templates. Each book you publish becomes a permanent digital product that earns passive monthly royalties. You own the books. You earn from them indefinitely.
There are no clients, no freelance gigs, and no design skills needed. Just a reliable computer, a few hours per week, and the ability to follow a repeatable checklist-based system.
What You’ll Be Doing
This role revolves around taking a nonfiction book idea and transforming it into a live product listed on Amazon’s Kindle store. You’ll follow a 5-stage publishing pipeline, with support at every step.
Stage 1: Finding a Money-Making Topic
You’ll start each project by selecting a nonfiction topic that has demand in the Kindle store. Using our pre-built databases and keyword dashboards, you’ll identify market gaps and select profitable angles.
Common beginner-friendly niches include:
- Personal budgeting
- Daily productivity planners
- Self-reflection and journaling
- Mental health workbooks
- Remote work organization tips
You’ll learn to:
- Interpret Amazon Best Seller Rank (BSR)
- Research keywords with strong traffic and low competition
- Choose topics that readers are already searching for
- Validate demand using real-world market data
Stage 2: Using AI to Generate the Book
You’ll be trained to use ChatGPT or equivalent AI tools to create the core content for your book.
Instead of writing manually, you’ll:
- Feed prompts into AI to produce clean, formatted content
- Organize the book into chapters, sections, and takeaways
- Lightly edit for tone, clarity, and user flow
- Add custom extras like resource guides, checklists, or summaries
Books typically range from 3,000 to 7,000 words. AI handles 90% of the creation — your role is to refine and assemble.
Stage 3: Formatting for Kindle Compatibility
Your book now needs to be formatted for digital publishing. We provide done-for-you manuscript templates for Word and Google Docs that are fully Kindle-compliant.
Formatting tasks include:
- Creating consistent headings and structure
- Inserting front matter (title page, author page, disclaimers)
- Generating a clickable Table of Contents
- Checking layout across mobile and tablet devices using Kindle’s preview tool
You’ll follow a simple checklist to make sure everything looks polished and professional.
Stage 4: Building and Publishing the Product Page
Once formatted, your book will be uploaded to Amazon via Kindle Direct Publishing. You’ll learn how to craft an optimized product listing that boosts visibility and drives conversions.
You’ll use swipe files to:
- Create SEO-friendly titles and subtitles
- Write persuasive product descriptions
- Assign backend keywords and categories
- Upload your manuscript and cover art
- Choose pricing and royalty percentages
No marketing experience required — these templates do the work for you.
Stage 5: Monitor, Expand, and Automate
Once your book is live, Amazon handles the selling and royalty payments. Your responsibility becomes monitoring your sales and launching more books.
You’ll track:
- Royalties from each book
- Kindle Unlimited read-throughs
- Category rankings and bestseller status
- Reader reviews and metadata performance
You’ll use tracking spreadsheets and planning templates to scale your income over time.
What’s Included in Your Toolkit
- Niche research dashboards and validation databases
- AI writing prompt libraries
- Manuscript templates for Word and Google Docs
- Kindle formatting guides
- Swipe files for product listings, titles, and metadata
- Cover design tutorials using Canva
- Upload checklists and royalty tracking spreadsheets
- Full training video library (step-by-step, on-demand)
All tools are beginner-proof and optimized for remote use.
