Zero Spend KDP Journey using AI with a twist

QuizMachine said:

Background

So my quiz sites are doing well (not lockdown well but we’ll enough) so I have decided to set myself a challenge and thought I would share the journey here. I have done KDP stuff before in a different niche so this will be starting from scratch. No list no brand name nothing. Otjer

The Challenge

Make $1000 a month on KDP using AI and all without spending any money.

Making The Book

Unlike a lot of people at the moment I am going to go away from the low to no content books and produce something that will have around 100,000 words.

So am I going to get AI to write an entire book?

Well yes and no. So here’s the twist in the tale. There are books which are year on year best sellers but which were originally authored centuries ago. The content of these books are timeless and wonderful but the archaic language provides a barrier to entry.

My theory is by using AI to update the books for a modern reader we can lower this barrier.

Now because these books are already best sellers they will have a ready made audience that may be interested in this updated version.

With press releases and a littler searching on social media I think I should be able to attract an audience to this project.

Method

This is simply copy and paste. I am going to head over to project Gutenberg pick a book and then copy and paste the book into Chatgpt. I will need to do this a fair few times to get the book fully modernised.

Once done I will read and format the book.

Usong a text to image generator I will get some art together and create a book cover in Canva.

Upload the book to Amazon and let’s see what happens.

current situation

I think it will take 3 days to modernise the book and this is the end of day one.

Any question please ask.

Thank you for this thread. I already have AI-enhanced books on my project list.

I love the Public Domain idea you mentioned because they are PRE-BRANDED both in terms of author and title.

Great Idea!

I also like the idea of MODERNIZING the text. But not in the way you described. I see another approach that actually adds NEW value.

There are a FEW TWISTS missing and I'll experiment with those to see if they make the book more VISIBLE to potential buyers.

Thanks so much!
