The Smart Way to Write E-Books with AI: From Robot Text to Best-Seller
The internet is currently flooded with low-quality, AI-generated “trash.” You have seen it—books that repeat themselves, use fancy words like “tapestry” and “delve” every two sentences, and offer zero real value.
If you want to build a reputation and make money, you cannot just click “Generate” and publish. You must be smarter than the average user.
In this first part of our “Digital Publisher’s Guide,” we are going to teach you the professional workflow: Ideation, Drafting, and the crucial “Manage Rewrite” phase. This is how you use AI to do 80% of the heavy lifting while keeping 100% of the quality.
Phase 1: Strategic Ideation (The Outline)
Most beginners ask ChatGPT: “Write me a book about digital marketing.” This is a mistake. The AI will give you a generic, surface-level mess.
The Expert Approach: Treat the AI as a research assistant, not the author. You need a “Chapter-by-Chapter” breakdown before writing prose.
- Expert Prompt: “Act as a professional book editor. I want to write a comprehensive guide on [Topic]. Create a detailed 12-chapter outline. For each chapter, include 3 bullet points covering the key problems the reader faces and the specific solutions this chapter will provide.”
Why this works: You are forcing the AI to focus on problems and solutions, which creates value for the reader.
Phase 2: Segmented Drafting (Beating the “Memory” Limit)
AI has a “Context Window” (limited memory). If you ask it to write the whole book at once, the end of the book will be terrible.
The Expert Workflow: Write one subchapter at a time.
- Copy the bullet points for Chapter 1.
- Feed them into the AI (Claude 3.5 Sonnet or ChatGPT-4o are best for writing).
- Prompt: “Write Section 1.1 based on these bullet points. Use a conversational, authoritative tone. Avoid jargon. Use short paragraphs.”
Phase 3: Manage Rewrite (Where the Money is Made)
This is the step that separates amateurs from professionals. “Managing the Rewrite” means identifying and fixing “AI-isms”—the tell-tale signs of robotic writing.
The “Red Flag” Checklist: When reviewing your AI draft, look for these issues:
- The “Sandwich” Structure: AI loves to start with “In this fast-paced world…” and end with “In conclusion…” Delete these immediately. Get straight to the point.
- Repetitive Words: AI overuses words like crucial, pivotal, landscape, delve, foster, and tapestry. Replace them with simpler words.
- Lack of Evidence: AI states facts but rarely gives examples.
The “Humanizer” Prompt: If a section feels stiff, do not rewrite it manually yet. Instruct the AI to fix it first:
- Prompt: “Rewrite the text above. Make it sound less like a textbook and more like a advice from a mentor. Include a metaphorical example to explain the concept of [X].”
Phase 4: The Final Human Polish
Once the AI has structured and drafted the content, you must read it aloud. If you stumble over a sentence while reading, your reader will too. Cut it out. Add your own anecdotes. Your personal experience is the one thing AI cannot replicate.
