How to Create a Children's Book Using ChatGPT and Midjourney AI - EASY Step by Step for Amazon KDP

[Music] hi everyone and welcome back to my channel in today's video I'm going to show you something mind-blowing and that is how to write and illustrate a children's story book made up of multiple short stories using artificial intelligence there has been so much Buzz lately around the use of AI tools like chat GPT and mid-journey so today in this video I will show you step by step how you could harness the power of these two Cutting Edge tools to bring your story ideas to life and if you have never created or published a book on Amazon KDP before then I would highly recommend you start out by watching my other step-by-step tutorial on creating a low content book first that video will provide you with all the foundational knowledge you need in order to successfully publish your first book on Amazon KDP finally before we get started with this video just a reminder to please give my video a big Thumbs Up And subscribe to my channel for more interesting KDP content now let's get started step one generate ideas for your story using chat GPT so first of all what is chat GPT chat GPT is a web-based computer program that uses AI to generate text that resembles human writing in more simple terms chat GPT is basically like a super smart robot writer that has been trained by a ton of books and articles and can come up with its own stories write emails for you answer your questions or even have a chat with you to access the chat GPT tool all you have to do is go to their website which is chat.openai.com and I've linked it at the bottom of my video as well now at the time of recording this video chat GPT is absolutely free all you have to do is click on the sign up button and sign up with your email address and then you're good to go if you already have a specific story plot in mind then you can probably skip this step otherwise chat GPT is a great tool to help you generate some ideas for example let's try to type in please give me some children story book ideas to write about we can now add some specific parameter the story should be geared towards girls aged seven to nine and the messaging of the story should remind children that they should never give up and that hard work always pays off please also include a magical twist to these stories now let's see what happens when we press enter as you can see Chachi BT very quickly starts populating the page with some potential ideas for us in terms of stories that we could write about and it also includes the potential title that we could use as well as a little blurb like a synopsis of the story that they're suggesting and when you read through the actual suggestions that they have you'll realize that they actually took into account the parameters that we have provided like making sure that the messaging about never giving up and hard work pays off is actually there and then also it's geared towards young girls and there's also a bit of a magical twist because we see mentioning of unicorns enchanted forests fairies so it's absolutely amazing how quickly they generated five ideas for us step two ask chat GPT to write your story for you now let's say out of the five story ideas that chat gbt provided to me I like number five the most the fairy tale Factory a story about a young girl who finds a magical Factory that makes fairy tales come true she learns that she can make her own dreams come too by working hard and never giving up so I like the messaging in that story and it sounds like a fun story so what I can actually do and this is the most mind-blowing part of Chachi BT in my mind when it comes to story writing is that you can actually just tell Chachi BT to help you write the first draft so we can ask Chachi PT to say please write this story for me and just paste what you had copied and click enter and see what happens and you can see that very quickly chat GPT has started writing a story for you which would be based on the parameters that you had just put in which means that it should be about the fairy tale Factory and the plot that was provided to it earlier and you can see that it types very quickly it makes a lot of sense it's actually a very compelling story filled with magic it's interesting it's grammatically correct and most of all it is very fast like it basically just types up a story for you within a minute which is absolutely mind-blowing and you can see that it makes sure that your messaging is in there by never giving up and working hard she can make anything happen and so very quickly a short story has been written for you by Chachi PT now while you can totally just take the script and plop it into your storybook I personally would recommend that you augment the ai's output with your own unique ideas to truly make it your own and if you don't feel like doing that then at minimum I would recommend you run a plagiarism check on the script just to be safe step 3 plagiarism check so technically each story that has been generated by chat GPT is absolutely unique but because it has been trained by billions or millions of books and articles being fed into it there could still be a slight chance that they may leverage similar wording as other existing books so you always want to make sure especially if you're planning to use the script as is that you check for plagiarism just to make sure so what we would do is copy this whole script here go to Google and find any plagiarism free plagiarism Checker and paste it in to see if we have any issues so we can really pick anyone let's just say I picked this one basically paste our text here and see what happens I'm not a robot check plagiarism So based on the results is actually saying that 95 unique but five percent there's plagiarism which is the first sentence once upon a time there was a young girl named Lily who lived in a small village so not to worry all you need to do to fix that is to change up the sentence yourself and that way you'll make sure that there is absolutely no plagiarism in your story step 4 storybook illustrations so now that we have the script of our story completed it's time to work on the illustrations there are mainly two options I would recommend in creating the illustrations for this the first option is to take basically the story and break it down into multiple pages so maybe page one we have this blurb then we create an illustration for that blurb page two we have this second blurb and we create an illustration for that blurb if this is the option that you want to go ahead with I would recommend using canva to do most of your illustrations as it would probably be easiest and it would make the most sense for this form format because you're going to try to make a lot of different pages different illustrations with the same character doing different things so if you're interested in doing it that way I'm not going to show you how to do it in this video because we're going to focus on AI illustrations which is the second option I'm going to show you but if you are interested in that first option I would highly recommend you come and watch one of my videos called how to illustrate and publish a children's book on Amazon KDP in that video I will basically show you how to create these different illustration pages that would match back to your story using specific canva elements the second option is to create one story book that has a collection of different short stories so for example the story that we had just generated earlier with Chachi PT that would just be one story of many stories within the storybook that we create so it's basically a collection of short stories and each one would have one illustration associated with it so this is just an example okay so now to create our illustration for the short story that we had just generated from chat GPT we're going to leverage mid-journey mid journey is an AI text to image program that generates images from text descriptions you can simply type in a description and watches the program magically transform your words into a captivating image right before your eyes just like some of the examples you're seeing right here on screen so in order to use mid-journey you'll actually first need to sign up for a Discord account so come to discord.com I've also linked it at the bottom of my video and all you need to do is open Discord in your browser and then create an account using your email and a password so once you've successfully signed up for your Discord account you can then come to www.midjourney.com and sign up for your mid-journey account so what you would do is go to join the beta click on accept invite and it'll basically connect you to your Discord account submit Journey has a free trial plan which will allow you to try it out for free you can generate up to 25 images with the free plan after which you will need to pay for one of their subscription accounts which ranges from eight dollars to forty eight dollars and the differing factors would be you know the number of images you can create and the speed among other things the more expensive plans will also allow you to create your images in private mode which means nobody else can see it whereas the cheaper plans the images that you generate will actually be shared in the community and everyone can technically see it the other thing you should keep in mind is that the free trial does not really allow you to use the images for commercial use so only the paid plans will allow you to leverage the images you create for commercial purposes okay so now that we're in mid-journey let's get into the community and start creating so for example let me click into the Imagine Community it really doesn't matter which one but the key thing is to type slash imagine then space and you'll see this little prompt box The Prompt box is where you want to type in the description of the image that you want the mid-journey bot to create for you so in our case if you remember our story is about a little girl who accidentally stumbled upon a magical Factory that creates fairy tales so maybe we should create an image that matches back to that plot setting so I could say create an image of a little girl with a pretty dress standing in front of a magical Factory a colorful magical Factory in an enchanted Forest and we can also put an aspect ratio so we put two dashes a r stands for aspect ratio so if you want the picture to be horizontal you would put three colon 2 if you want it to be vertical you would put two colon 3 if you don't put anything I think the default will come out as a square so in our case I think I want it to be horizontal so once we put that in let's click enter and see what the AI generates for us so you'll see that I've clicked enter and it says the bot is waiting to start my job for me so we'll just have to wait a little bit and see what happens so now you can see it started to create something zero percent so it's not quite done yet we'll have to wait till it's a hundred percent and then see what we've got how cool is that so what it would do is basically create four different images and you can select the one that you like the most to use or you can modify the images further so I've got to find it sometimes too many people are working on theirs and to scroll back to find yours so this is the one that we had created so let's take a look at which one wow these are really nice I like the first one so if I like the first one see I can make it bigger so what I'm going to do is upscale so U stands for upscale and V means to create a variation so in this case I'm going to click on the one that I like so this is one two three four so let's say if I like number one then I'll ask for it to upskill number one which means to turn it into like the full-blown quality okay so now that the image we had originally selected has now been upscaled we can now click on it to download the full version of it to use in our book as our illustration you can save images save it in their downloads and there we go step five putting it all together okay so now that I have the image that I like downloaded onto my laptop I'm going to come back into canva and put everything together so here's the canva template that I've been using for our short story series and so whatever already done is I've copied over from chat GPT the story script that was generated for me into my story template here so all I need to do now is to add the image that I had just downloaded so we can go to upload upload files go to downloads and click on the photo and then we can add it into our canva template so I would say for your book you can have maybe 15 to 20 short stories and so once you've completed that amount you can put it together into one story book again while this video demonstrates the ability for AI to generate a complete story for you from start to finish I would still highly recommend that you try to augment the story with your own unique content and creative ideas and that's it for today if you enjoyed this video please don't forget to like my video And subscribe to my channel for
