Making $264,341/Yr With AI Generated E-Books (using Coding)

this kid made over $1 million in one year with a business idea that nobody's talking about AI generated books he's making a living selling thousands of ebooks using an unconventional method with chat GPT initially this wasn't the way I did it but this is the best way to do it now how interesting so basically he uses AI or chat gbt to generate ebooks which he then sells to middle-aged woman but the process he has is extremely manual it takes like a couple hours so what we're going to do is automate the entire process and more what I mean is that with a single click we get a high quality ebook either for reading or resale and we're going to make millions in the process let's head right in so first we need to make ebooks to sell and let's try it with plain Chachi BT first let's ask it to give us a full 30 page ebook about losing weight for middle-aged women and it says that it can't because it's too complex and also there's around a 4,000 word limit for chbt so what this dude tell tells people to do in his paid course is first ask Chach BT to make an outline of the book which Chach BT can do just fine then we ask chat gbt to write each small subsection of the book and then when it's done we copy and paste it into a Word document we repeat this for each subsection design a cover for it and the last thing to do is to turn it into a PDF and then after that you have an ebook that's ready to sell and it actually would probably sell pretty well and yeah remember that these books are for middle-aged women so topics would be like how to be healthier how to lose weight and how to save a marriage so the problem is that this process is extremely manual and tedious it takes like a couple hours to do just to make one ebook so let's make this book better and also just automate the entire process so it takes a few minutes and no human work with coding so there's a couple levels to automation the first one is physical human imitation this is like a robot that would be typing into a keyboard imitating a human in the physical world and yeah this is just overkill for our project and not that efficient then there's digital human imitation when you use a mouse or a keyboard they send signals to your computer so we can just write code that would be emulating these signals but the problem is that all the responses we get are still stuck on this website this is not that good because then it's really hard to do anything with this data so what's even better is using something called apis or application programming interfaces first what actually happens when we're using the Chad gbt website well what we're using is something called the front-end website or the user interface and it takes what we type in and sends it to What's called the backend API then all the logic happens on the back end and then the back end responds with the answer to the front end which is what we see so what we can do is write a program that talks to this backend API directly and then we don't need to go through this frontend at all here we have some code that does this and let's try it out let's just say hi and see what we get back and yeah it works we get pretty much the same response as if we did it on the website because the website more or less uses the same API but now this response is in our code rather than the website which we can do a lot more with so now let's ask Chachi BT for an outline of the book with chapters and sub chapters and we get back an outline of the book however it's in a form that humans are meant to read and the computer isn't going to understand this so what can we do if you think about it humans process the information as a language like English in this case and in code information is processed as data which is in data structures so what we should do is ask chbt to give us the response as a data structure so our code can continue doing stuff on it for example for each subsection we can ask chbt please write me the full text content for the subsection we'll get back the full contents of it and then just keep looping through the other subsections eventually we'll have the full contents of the ebook in less than a minute yes at this point you might be thinking we have the contents of the book so now surely someone has to just copy paste all this into a Word document and then format it to make it look nice but by now you guys should know that with coding you can do anything we can use another API to let us turn our text content into a Word file and then into a nice looking PDF and now for the last last part which is generating a cover for the textbook but wait we actually have some good news this time we have a sponsor we've been grinding a long time for this and honestly I didn't think it was possible after making an AI only fans but somehow it happened let's take a look do you guys want to learn more about coding well do I have something for you it's called Brilliance the best way to learn math data science and computer science interactively Jesse what the are you talking about brilant I is fun and interactive with thousands of lessons in beginner to Advanced topics in AI coding math physics anything that you would want with new lessons being added every month I've actually had the chance to use it myself and honestly guys it's actually really good especially for the coding part whatever your skill level brilliant customizes the content to fit your needs and lets you solve at your own pace when you get started you can take a quick quiz to gauge your level so for coding for example there's some beginner topics as as well as some Advanced topics that will be suited to whatever your skill level is specifically there's a course called thinking in code and it gets you designing simple programs to solve real world problems kind of like we do in this channel if you use the link brilliant.org Nang you get 30 days for free and if you're one of the first 200 people to sign up you get 20% off the annual plan okay check it out now back to the video all right so for the cover there's some image generation models like Dolly 3 but when we try it out to make a book cover the words are almost always messed up so we're going to have to do something else what we can do is have templates for each type of book and then attach related words or tags to each of these templates then when we have to write a book if the title of the book contains any of these words then we should use that template and this is all right but the accuracy of the templates chosen is actually just terrible because sometimes the words don't match exactly so let's try to improve this right now this is just rule-based code log and I guess before AI what we could do instead is to just hire someone to look at the title of the book and then all the tags of the templates and then use their brain to choose the most appropriate template and it probably would be pretty good but this is a really simple task and AI can do it so what we can do is use AI as code logic which is actually a pretty big idea but what we can do is supply the AI or chbt in this case with the same information that we would give the human it'll then give us back the template with really high accuracy and our code can insert the title into this template and yeah now we have a cover that actually looks pretty good and we're finally able to go from a topic and a target audience all the way to a full sellable ebook that cost less than 10 cents to make and that is just indubitably incredible so now let's generate some and sell them with Facebook and Pinterest ads and yeah we made a bit of money which was actually really nice but guys we need to think bigger during the uh the gold Rush right the average person that was digging for gold wasn't making that much money but the people that were making all the money were the people selling these shovels so if we provide this as a service for everybody selling these ebooks then we wouldn't have to do all the ad stuff and um yeah we could probably make more money okay so we have the code that's able to generate eBooks on our computer and we want to make it a platform so anyone can use it making this is not going to be that different than how the apps used on the internet get made like Instagram for example it's like our code is the internal parts of a car like there's the engine the gasoline tank and the carburetor but all the driver wants to do is just press the gas pedal and know that the car is going to move forward also the car manufacturer doesn't want everybody to know how the internals work because it's their secret this concept is called abstraction and pretty much we want to package our code similar to a car and that's what an API does then front ends can just message this API to generate an ebook and the back end will do it so how exactly do we do this in our code well there's a lot of web Frameworks that help with this like in Python there's flask Django and fast API and if you're choosing which one is the best to use my advice is that it actually just does not matter at all your final product will work regardless of which one you choose so for our project let's just go with the most simple one which is going to going to be flask one last thing is that we need to run this backend server on the cloud which just means that we're going to use one of the big company's computers in like Virginia or something that's running 24/7 and yeah now our backend code is packaged like a car except it's on the internet and front ends can ask it to generate ebooks so let's quickly make a front end app and now our project's kind of like the Chad gbt app in the beginning this front end is just communicating with our backend API and yeah hopefully that makes sense this is also how apps use like Facebook or Instagram are set up which is why their desktop website mobile website and app all pretty much work in the same way it's because they're all different front ends accessing the same backend API okay so we have the platform here and let's see how it works you guys can actually use this right now at AI e books. XYZ but pretty much we just give it a topic and a target audience and then we can see a five page preview if it's good we can pay a dollar and within a few minutes we have a fully polished over 30 page ebook that's ready to sell amazing so now let's just blast Facebook ads for this and also we can make some ugc I pretty much just copied all of these successful ads that are kind of like this there's a new way to make passive income with AI and no one's talking about it the idea is selling AI generated ebooks to Niche Target audiences like middle-aged moms here's exactly how we're going to do it step one head over to AI ebooks XYZ sell this will let us generate a highquality eBook in less than a minute and just like that we have money rolling in but uh Midway through this project I changed my mind yes a Twist and yeah I'll be a little bit serious for this part pretty much I went to Italy and I was just on this street with a bunch of luxury stores and I was just watching these scammers on the street what they would do is pretty much put bracelets on people and then just make them pay for it and yeah it's just a scam and so I was thinking like they were making a decent amount of money but it was insignificant compared to what the people shopping at these luxury stores were making and they're probably not scamming and then I was thinking what we're doing right now is not that different from this we're just capitalizing on middle-aged women's insecurities instead of doing something actually useful and also with people like this on the Internet it's actually just so stupid because well for one they're not doing as good as they say because if they did then they wouldn't be needing to sell a course that doesn't teach any skills but anyways on the other hand if you know coding then you can actually do stuff that's useful so now I think that our time is probably just better spent trying to do that instead of chasing small amounts of money so I thought about it for a week and here's a new plan we're going to use what we have so far but instead we're going to make AI generated textbooks for K through 12 schools I actually think this is not that bad of an idea because if you think about it it would make textbooks cheaper for lowincome schools and could make learning more engaging through customization like if a third grader likes dinosaurs then their math problems can have dinosaurs in them okay so I'm sold and I actually think that we should make this into a startup so let's try to get funding through a VC specifically let's try Y combinator and oh god oh we're 2 months past the late deadline but somehow the application is still open I was going to ask Gary tan the CEO of YC for a referral but unfortunately he was only free Wednesday nights which is when me and my friend play anime girl maon so we're on our own but let's just grind out an application and apply and in the meantime while we're waiting we can actually make this useful for people that want to learn from Reading ebooks by making another front end for this I actually wanted to learn some stuff like the history of the Ross child family and also just about Quantum Computing so I generated ebooks for them and they were actually really interesting and oh why is he got back to us let's take a look oh so we didn't get in but it's all right because you know maybe this could be a blessing in disguise like they would just take a lot of equity rights and also it's not even that big of a deal being in YC like you you do this on your own maybe another VC would be better for this or maybe no VC at all would be the best but for real I'll talk about this later on and that pretty much brings us to the end of this video a couple updates I spent like 3 months coding this platform form and so that's why there wasn't a video for a while but I actually stream most of this weekly on twitch.tv so you guys can follow me there it's @ not Nang also please support the channel by going to Nang shop.com there's new shirts there and also just other merch so yeah please check it out also last thing thank you to junun for the animations he actually has a channel himself and it's really good so you guys should check it out okay let's talk about some future plans now okay so first for the ebook startup stuff honestly when I was writing the ation the total addressable Market was not looking very good so I really don't blame them for rejecting me I do think that there's a lot of issues when it comes to trying to do a startup in the public sector space especially when it comes to education I think it was a good attempt but we should move on so in terms of life and YouTube stuff I mean I really like making YouTube videos but as you guys probably already know my dream is to unironically become the next Elon Musk and so on YouTube I've been doing like these small projects right but I do think now is a good time to start doing something bigger or like an actual startup pretty much I've been preparing my entire life to do a startup and try to be successful in it but yeah pretty much for the future I do think that the YouTube videos are going to change it's pretty much not going to be like this project style anymore it's probably going to be about the startup that I am making but anyways at the end of these videos you guys know that I try to inspire all of you as well as myself it could be a big cringe but it's all good I think it's net positive but anyways recently my friend was asking me like how to be motivated um because he's also working at a Quant firm as a coder and he's like oh we're making like top 0.1% of the salary of people our age and so like we made it there's no motivation needed or like there's no source of motivation after that but I will say that it's pretty much relative to kind of where you started and so like for me sure it's a really nice job however the circumstances that I was born in is like 0.01% of people like I wasn't crazy rich or anything but I was born in Silicon Valley the actual tech center of the entire world like my friend so it's only natural like all I've did was kind of follow the like straight path but this if anything that's like not really overachieving or underachieving it's kind of just standard of course like you can't be OD on this like you got to just be content ENT at all times which I do think meditation is really good for however for my personal ambition I do want to improve relative to the circumstances I was born in and so what I see is that a lot of people with the same circumstances as me like in high school would just spend all their time playing video games and stuff because they have a comfortable life like they have a house and stuff but I think for me like if I take that route well one I think it's selfish because you're kind of just taking advantage of the stuff that you born into to but also I think like you're in the position where you have education and resources to actually do something important in the world so I feel like you could do something with that if you wanted to and I mean yeah I definitely want to it's kind of just all I think about whether that's for better for worse but yeah hopefully that makes sense moving forward I am going to try to do a startup and hopefully can make videos about it and yeah this whole last part just take it with a grain of salt it's really just not that deep but thank you guys for watching and supporting the Chann Channel a lot of you guys have been here for a long time so I feel like we're in this together that's about it [Music] peace
