How does the AI's context window affect the writing of fiction compared to non-fiction?

đ Writing High-Quality Books with AI
Sean, who has built a 7-figure publishing business and helped over 12,200 people profit from Amazon KDP, shares insights on writing a high-quality book using AI. He emphasizes the importance of focusing on quality over quantity to avoid producing subpar books. Sean explains that while AI can reduce production costs and speed up the writing process, it is crucial to ensure the book's quality. He addresses the common misconception that AI can simply pump out numerous books to increase the chances of sales, which is not a sustainable strategy. Instead, he advocates for a methodical approach to writing non-fiction books by breaking them down into smaller sections to fit within AI's context window, which is essential for maintaining coherence and avoiding repetition.
đ Crafting a Book Outline with AI
Sean demonstrates how to create a detailed book outline for a non-fiction book on decluttering with AI. He requests 10 title and subtitle ideas from AI, emphasizing clarity and the inclusion of power words and numbers. Once satisfied with the title 'From Chaos to Calm' and subtitle 'A Comprehensive 30-Day Decluttering Plan to Transform Your Home and Life from Overwhelmed to Organized', he instructs AI to generate an 8-chapter outline, with each chapter broken down into sections and subsections. This structured approach helps to stay within AI's context window and ensures a coherent and non-repetitive narrative. Sean then uses the outline to generate the introduction and subsequent sections, tailoring AI's output style to his preferences and providing clear instructions to avoid a list-style format.
đïž Editing and Finalizing the Manuscript
After generating a first draft with AI, Sean stresses the importance of editing and polishing the manuscript. He advises against directly publishing AI-generated content without significant human intervention, as it may not meet the quality standards required for a successful book. He suggests using tools like Grammarly Premium for plagiarism checks and editing. Sean also touches on the option of hiring ghostwriters for a completely hands-off approach and provides resources for those interested in learning more about high-quality book publishing with AI. He concludes by recommending the hiring of a designer for the book cover on platforms like Fiverr and invites viewers to explore his programs for further assistance in publishing profitable books on Amazon KDP.

Transcripts
in this video I'll show you how to
actually write a high quality book with
Chad jbd that's actually going to get
you sales so my name is Sean and I've
built a 7 figure publishing business for
myself as well as I helped more than
12200 people make money from their
Amazon KDP business so with that being
said let me show you how to actually
write a book with chib so when it comes
to writing a book with chatab there's a
lot of misinformation online you have to
understand that most AI written books
are complete crap especially if you
follow other YouTube videos talking
about this topic so if you're going to
sell the B on Amazon KDP or anywhere
else you must focus on quality and this
is the number one biggest mistake people
make is they think just because it's so
easy to write a book with AI they just
go and play the volume game they just
Spam as many books as possible and they
hope that one of those books will hit
and make them some money but
unfortunately that is not how you do it
right you want to focus on quality over
quantity so when most people hear about
Ai and how it can write books for you
they think of how to pump out as many
books as possible and honestly this is a
very very quick way to lose your KDP
account or just not make money at all so
AI is very very useful in reducing
production cost and improving the speed
of writing the book but you still have
to make sure that the book is good so
the big question is how can you create a
high quality book with chat GPT so let
me show you exactly how to do that the
first thing you have to understand is
the context window so this is the
biggest issue with writing a book with
AI context window is essentially how
much AI remembers what it wrote in the
past right so this is right now the
biggest issue when it comes to writing a
book with AI because when it comes to
Shorter outputs it's very easy you know
it's very easy to use AI to create book
outlines description title where the
output what it actually writes is very
short book outline is just one page
right description is just a paragraph
title is just one sentence those are
very very easy to do with AI but longer
outputs when it comes to writing the
entire book right this is we're talking
100 page 200 Page you know content here
it becomes tricky because it becomes
very repetitive and surface level
information and the reason why is
because AI doesn't remember what it
wrote and that is why context window is
very important and this is also why it's
very hard to write Fiction with AI
because when it comes to fiction you
know you often refer back to like the
beginning of the story at the end of the
book right so at the end of the book you
refer back to what happened in the
beginning and because AI doesn't
remember what it wrote at the beginning
of the story you just cannot do that
with AI at least without editing the
content and that's why editing the
content is very very important right you
cannot just copy paste it because it
becomes extremely hard to write you know
books like fiction books now when it
comes to non-fiction books though it
becomes a little bit easier because you
can break down the output chapter by
chapter non-fiction is not like fiction
where you have to make a lot of
connections and referring back to
different parts of the book right it's
usually you know this chapter talks
about this tip the next chapter talks
about the next information and it's
often segmented by chapter by chapter so
this is a little easier to generate with
a AI because the context window doesn't
have to be huge right AI just has to
remember what to write within that one
chapter because the next chapter uh it's
going to be different you don't have to
refer back to the last chapter so the
key to writing non-fiction with AI is
you want to break down the chapter in as
much subsection as possible so that you
can write in as little section as
possible then after that you want to
heavily edit the output but just as a
disclaimer that this still doesn't mean
that you can just copy paste content
from chat jpd you still have to heavily
edit the output to humanize the content
later on so let me actually walk you
through this step by step so let's just
say that I want to write a non-fiction
book on how to declutter your home I use
decluttering often because as you can
see it is a very profitable topic there
are books on this topic that's making
really good money this book from the
audiobook alone is doing $200 a day that
is $6,000 a month so we're going to try
and write a book on this topic the first
thing you want to do is go to chat jbd I
created a new conversation and I asked
can you give me 10 title ideas for a
book on decluttering make it catchy but
also clear that it is a decluttering
book it's very important to make your
non-fiction book title clear on what the
book is about it's better to be clear
rather than fancy okay keep that in mind
so these are the ideas that we got so we
got clear the Clutter transform your
space in mind declutter your life simple
steps to a stress-free home the joy of
bless a guide to minimalist living and
we got 10 examples here so these titles
are good but I want my subtitle to be a
little longer I wanted to explain the
book a little more talk about the
benefits of buying the book so my next
prompt is this one please give me 10
subtitle ideas subtitles should clearly
describe the benefit the reader will get
by reading the book please also
incorporate power words and numbers to
make subtitle as attractive as possible
focus on longer subtitle rather than a
short one okay so with that being said I
got these 10 additional subtitles so we
got seven steps to achieve a calm
organized home and a peaceful mindset 10
proven techniques to create a Serene
environment and boost your productivity
discover the freedom of minimalism and
how to embrace a life of abundance with
less so these are much better than the
first example we got it's much longer it
has the numbers uh I really like these
ones 15 powerful strategies to eliminate
clutter enhance focus and increase
happiness just by adding these numbers
you know it makes it sound a lot better
like this one right here a comprehensive
30-day plan to transform your home and
life from overwhelmed to organized so
that's the subtitle that I like so I
decided my title on from chaos to calm
the subtitle a comprehensive 30-day de
ing plan to transform your home and life
from overwhelmed to organized okay so
that's my title now that I have the
title what I'm going to do is create a
detailed book outline so this is the
next prompt I asked it to please create
a detailed 8 chapter book outline for
book on decluttering the title is this
the subtitle is this and break each
chapter into three sections break each
sections into three subsections and this
is what I got now e chapter is just an
example you can do shorter longer but 8
chapter is a pretty good place to be at
for a non-fiction book so just like that
we got a very detailed book outline
starting from chapter 1 understanding
the need for decluttering and we broke
this down into multiple sections we got
section one section two the benefits of
decluttering section three preparing for
the journey and then even within the
section we have multiple bullet points
right so this makes it very very easy to
write with AI because now we are
literally breaking it down in such small
segments that when it comes to
generating the content it fits within
the context window that chat GPT has so
that we can avoid the problem of being
repetitive and having surface level
information so basically as you can see
I got chapter 2 chapter 3 chapter 4 all
the way up to chapter 8 a detailed book
outline literally within seconds so if
you're wondering how long a non-fiction
book should be so this is what I
recommend obviously it doesn't have to
be exactly this but this is a good
Benchmark to aim so what I recommend is
you have 30,000 words now 30,000 words
is about 120 to 150 Pages depending on
the formatting and how much images you
have but that's like the average so if
you divide 30,000 words by eight
chapters that is
3,750 words per chapter now if you
divide 3750 words by three sections per
chapter that is 1250 words per section
so now that we have this information
we're going to go and start filling out
this book outline one section at a time
okay so the first thing I did is the
book outline didn't cover the
introduction section it started with
chapter one so I'm just going to ask
Chach to write me 1,000 words
introduction chapter which we got right
here so this is the introduction chapter
now I'm not going to do this in this
video but for you if you're following
along you want to take this and put it
into your Google doc so you can edit it
later but just like that we got a pretty
good introduction uh first draft right
so welcome to this book if you're
holding this book chances are you're
feeling overwhelmed by the Clutter that
has taken over your life the hidden cost
of clutter the benefits of a declutter
life 30-day declaring Journey starting
with day 1 Day 2 to 17 uh day 8 to 14
tackling the kitchen and so on so now
that we got the introduction we want to
start filling in the chapter one of the
book so we identifi that each section
should have 1250 words obviously this
can change but you know to make it as
simple and streamline as possible we're
going to do 1250 words per section right
so the prompt that I asked is please
write 1250 words for chapter 1
understanding the need for decluttering
section one the impact of clutter cover
these points physical effects how
clutter affects your living space Mental
effects and emotional effects if you're
wondering where I got this from I
literally got it from the book outline
right so if you scroll back up here you
can see that I just basically copied
chapter 1 section one and once I'm done
writing this section I'm going to do the
same thing with section two Section 3
and so on so this is the content that we
got so chapter one understanding the
need for decluttering section one the
impact of clutter clutter can can have
profound effects on various aspect of
Our Lives the physical effects uh reduce
living space increase safety hazards
difficulty in cleaning and maintenance
and whatnot obviously make sure to read
each one make sure that the content is
actually good okay make sure it's not
surface level uh but this is just a
first draft you still have to edit it
after but we're just going ahead and
filling in the first draft so once
section one is done I just asked you to
do the same thing for section two I got
section two back and one thing you
notice here is that section two and
section one both are kind of written in
a lisal style so the listicle is like
you know 2.1 2.2 very small paragraphs
and then it's the next thing and the
next thing it's like a bullet point list
right and this is not my favorite way of
writing non-fiction and for that reason
for the next prompt in section three I
asked the same thing but I also added a
note here that says don't write in a
list style focus on practical advice and
use stories to make the information more
personal and that basically fixed the
output of having a list style you know
content so now it's not in a list we
have section three preparing for the
journey and then for the setting goals
tip you can see that it is much longer
it's not like one of those BuzzFeed
listicle style content that we have okay
and we have other tips like creating a
vision uh Gathering supplies and whatnot
so that is how you start filling out
section by section and you obviously
will do this for the entire book so
you'll do this for all eight chapters
once you have that next is to generate
your pen name ideas you you can totally
use your real name to publish a book
under or if you want to use a pen name
you can use chat ToBD to get some ideas
as well so I just asked it to give me
five pen name ideas for this book and we
got five pen name ideas Claire Harmon
Morgan Sage Laya Everly Reed Lon and
obviously you know this is just ideas so
you can generate more or just pick from
here one tip is make sure to search the
name on Amazon to make sure nobody else
use this name because it can get
confusing if you use the same pen name
as somebody else although it is allowed
it's kind of confusing and that is why I
recommend you find a pen name that is
unique next is to generate your book
description so I asked it to write me a
350w book description for this book and
just like that we got a 350w book
description so that is step- by- step
how you can create your first draft of
your non-fiction book it's pretty
straightforward but you're not done yet
right I said it's your first draft and
the next step is you have to go and
polish your manuscript so this is your
first draft you're not done here right
never just copy paste what you generated
from chpd into a book and just publish
it with no editing no humanizing nothing
because that rarely makes a good book
there's a 99% chance that that book is
not good enough to make it actually good
you have to heavily edit it from here
chat is amazing because as you saw you
laid the groundwork you laid the
foundation of the book extremely fast
it'll help you with idea generation of
the title the outline even writing the
first draft but you still have to do the
final touches and edit the content okay
so make sure to do that read through the
entire book edit wherever is necessary
make sure that the book is flowing well
and also fact check because chat is not
always factually correct as well as
check for plagiarism just in case when
it comes to checking for plagurism I use
grammarly premium that is the best
plagurism Checker in my opinion although
you have to pay 10 bucks a month for it
if you guys want to check it out I'll
leave a link below this video so as you
can see it's actually a lot more work
than just copy pasting from chat GPD
because you need to do significant to
actually make it good but if you're
willing to spend the time and do that
then AI is actually an amazing way to
get your first draft of the book fast so
even if it saves you a lot of time you
still have to put in more time to
improve the content if you just want to
make few sales here and there and maybe
make five bucks here 10 bucks here uh
then perhaps spamming lowquality AI
books will work but if you want to make
this your full-time income then that
approach is definitely not going to work
now if you don't even want to deal with
writing the book yourself even with the
help of AI then you can actually hire
ghost riders to write the book for you
which is completely hands-off you just
have to hire The Ghost Writer send them
your project and they can write the book
for you I actually have a step-by-step
tutorial on this on how you can hire
ghost riders on upwork so if you guys
want to check out this video I'll leave
a link in the description below and once
you have your book manuscript ready the
next step is to get your book cover
designed so I recommend you hire your
designer in Fiverr it makes the process
very easy and these are some of the
designs that you can get on fivers so
this person will design your book cover
for $55 and these are some samples which
look looks pretty good and if $55 is a
little too high then there is another
one for $30 and she specializes in
non-fiction so if you're doing
non-fiction this is perfect and you can
see that these are her samples if you
guys want to test out both of these gigs
then I'll leave a link in the

help of AI then you can check out the
