Today, I’m going to show you how to start a $100/hour side hustle by creating and selling eBooks with ChatGPT—even if you’ve never written a book in your life.

This method is simple, scalable, and incredibly profitable. Plus, I’ll give you a detailed, step-by-step AI prompt that will help you generate professional-grade eBook content in minutes.

Let’s dive in.

Why eBook Creation is the Perfect $100/Hour Side Hustle

Here’s why eBooks are such a lucrative opportunity:

  • Low Effort, High Reward: With ChatGPT, you can write an entire eBook in hours instead of weeks.

  • High Demand: People are willing to pay $29–$99+ for eBooks on niche topics like productivity, health, or business.

  • Scalable Income: Once you’ve created an eBook, you can sell it repeatedly without extra work.

Now, I’m going to show you exactly how to do the same.

Boring Step 1: Pick a Profitable Niche

The key to selling eBooks is choosing a niche that people are already interested in. This is a boring but must needed step.

Here are some ideas:

  • Personal Development: Productivity hacks, morning routines, mindfulness.

  • Business & Marketing: Social media strategies, email marketing, AI tools.

  • Health & Wellness: Meal prep guides, fitness plans, mental health tips.

  • Hobbies & Skills: Photography, writing, gardening, or learning guitar.

Action Step: Write down one niche you’re passionate about or knowledgeable in. If you’re unsure, pick something related to online business or personal growth—it’s always in demand.

Your career will thank you.

Step 2: Use This Detailed Prompt to Generate eBook Content

Here’s the magic part: Let ChatGPT do the heavy lifting for you.

Use this long-form, detailed prompt to generate chapters, sections, or even entire eBooks: 

Act as an expert author specializing in [specific niche].  
Your task is to write a comprehensive eBook titled "[Your eBook Title]" for [specific audience].  
Follow this structure:  
- Introduction: Start with a compelling hook that highlights the main problem your audience faces.  
- Chapter 1: Define the problem in detail—why does it matter, and what happens if it’s not solved?  
- Chapter 2: Provide actionable solutions or steps to solve the problem. Include examples, tips, and real-world applications.  
- Chapter 3: Share success stories or case studies to build credibility and inspire readers.  
- Conclusion: Summarize the key takeaways and include a strong call-to-action (e.g., "Download my free bonus guide" or "Start implementing these tips today").  
Use a [specific tone: conversational, professional, motivational].  
Ensure the content is engaging, easy to read, and packed with value.

For example:
Act as an expert author specializing in productivity tools.
Your task is to write a comprehensive eBook titled "How to Master Time Management in Just 7 Days" for busy professionals.
Follow this structure:

  • Introduction: "What if you could reclaim 10+ hours every week without working harder?"

  • Chapter 1: "Why most people fail at time management—and how it’s costing them their dreams."

  • Chapter 2: "5 proven strategies to double your productivity in less time."

  • Chapter 3: "Real-life success stories: How Sarah went from overwhelmed to earning $10K/month freelancing."

  • Conclusion: "Start today by downloading my free bonus checklist to track your progress."
    Use a motivational and conversational tone.

Action Step: Copy this detailed prompt into ChatGPT and test it with your chosen niche.

Step 3: Format and Package Your eBook Professionally

Modify above prompt to specify chatgpt to provide content for each chapter. Once you’ve generated the content, turn it into a polished eBook:

  1. Edit and Refine: Review the AI-generated text and tweak it to match your voice or add personal anecdotes.

  2. Design the Layout: Use tools like Canva or Google Docs to format your eBook with headings, bullet points, and visuals.

  3. Add a Cover: Use Canva or hire a designer on Fiverr to create a professional cover.

For example:

Step 4: Sell Your eBook on Easy-to-Use Platforms
