Transcripts
I have made thousands from my ebooks but
not by selling them in exchange for
someone downloading my free ebook I will
receive their email and their name and
in this video I'm going to teach you
step by step how to create an ebook from
scratch then how to create a landing
page for it how to Market it and how to
actually monetize the email funnel
process you are about to uncover one of
the greatest methods to monetize an
online audience okay it's time to go
step by step how to create our ebook now
we're going to be using canva and a few
other free tools so stay tuned you can
pause this video and follow step by step
now on canva you have some default ebook
kind of templates you just type in ebook
and you'll see them but for this video
I'm going to be creating one from
scratch now you've typed an ebook and
you've got your template you've got the
a for format now I'm going to do an
ebook for self-development so I'm going
to get an image of a mountain but before
we dive into that I quickly want to show
you something it's important for your
brand to have have a color palette so
simply going on Google and type in in
color palette you'll be exposed to this
website where it will give you color
palettes that kind of go together so if
you really like the color gold then I
recommend kind of trying to find a color
gold and then from there you'll be able
to kind of build something really
professional it's really useful very
important so make sure you check that
but now going back to our ebook so I've
typed in Mountain as I want someone to
be on a mountain I always make the color
of my background black for transparency
purposes and I've picked this image of a
guy on a mountain as I think you know it
kind of shows the right message and you
can literally just type in anything you
want in photos and I think that's the
best way to kind of start the ebook now
the next part is to experiment with some
gradients or you could keep kind of how
the photo is in its natural state for me
I want to try some gradients so I played
around with a few gradients until I
landed on the black one now the next
thing was to kind of add a box to my
ebook the front cover so that I can put
the title of the ebook which is going to
be become the best you I think it's
important even for when you're branding
when you're doing your landing page Etc
to have it a name for your ebook and
obviously pick a font which matches your
Niche so this one's the motivational
Niche so I picked one that suits that
and then of course always put by whoever
you are so I'm grow with Alex so I put
by grow with Alex in the corner it also
I think just makes it look slightly more
professional so definitely add that and
you can see it's already coming together
I pck I ended up picking a font which I
think very minimalistic and very clean
now the next thing was to go to the free
version of chat gbt and you can
literally type in something like write
me a short ebook about how to become the
best version of yourself through self
developmental tools or something like
that and it will give you a list of
ideas for your ebook and you can
literally base your whole ebook around
this giving it further simple prompts
such as expand this point Etc and
essentially you can get all your
information from here you can literally
copy a section type in expand and it
will expand that section for you so for
example I want to expand section two and
it's written everything for me now where
I think people go wrong the most with
ebooks is just literally copying and
pasting exactly what chat gbt says it
isn't always the best readable wording
so it doesn't always make sense it's not
always clean kind of English so what you
want to do is put it through a software
which is going to make it a lot cleaner
and also not AI detectable if you were
ever to do anything further than what
we're doing with it now there are two
different options for this you have
quillbot which has a basic free function
but my favorite is refiner ruin. PT and
essentially what this does it makes
everything super simple and not complex
for your audience which I think for
ebooks especially a free one is super
super value valuable as sometimes chat
GPT you can see that it gives kind of
complicated words and it's not necessary
so I always put everything through Rowan
refer PT and you can see that my ebook
is already starting to take shape even
though it's only black and white at this
point now what you want to do is
separate everything into kind of
paragraphs just make it look clean you
know it doesn't need to be complicated I
think people often kind of complicate
this process and then I wanted to create
a good introduction so the prompt that I
used for that write me a strong
introduction for the ebook so instead of
it giving me like an example or anything
I wanted it to actually write me a
strong example so that's what it did and
there again what I did was copied that
and put it into my refiner and you can
see that it also makes it a lot shorter
a lot cleaner so I got that pasted it
into my ebook you can see refine it so
easy to use pasted it again played
around with the size of the text usually
I just do this manually instead of
putting in a certain number in the top
left so all to to me it's all about the
visual how does it look and I think
playing with it manually is the best
option and you know at this point I
think it's looking pretty good what I
wanted to do was just make this look
more professional so I thought why don't
I add something to do with growth and I
saw this first picture a good thing you
can do on canvas if you go to edit photo
and the BG remover it will remove the
background so I had this guy with a tree
in his hand and all I needed to do is
make it kind of fit the page and you can
see the page has already stting to take
shape and it already kind of looks
professional you know it's really not
complicated the next thing I want to to
do was add a gradient or something to
the background to make it kind of not as
black and plain and you just put that go
to position go to your back and make the
transparency somewhere in the middle
just so that you know it's not too in
your face but it just adds a bit more
life to the ebook and essentially you
just copy and paste this method like now
I've got my gradient I can literally go
duplicate page change the text change
the title change the image and we just
repeat the process and I promised you
that in about 40 minutes maybe even less
you could have an unreal ebook now again
I just play around with some of the text
make some of it Glow Etc simply go to
effects when you press the text and you
can see it's already really starting to
take shape if I was to spend another
half an hour on this it would be done
but not only that I'm providing free
value for my audience so my audience is
going to really enjoy this and give me
their details when you download it or
when you want to finish it go to PDF
standard and that's about it and make
sure all the pages that you want to
incorporate are ticked press done press
download and there is your ebook which
you can then upload to the next section
guys make sure you go to the next
section as I'm about to show you what
you can actually do with this ebook and
how it can generate you thousands it's
not hard to create guys this is one of
the best ways to really monetize your
traffic let's move over to the next
section guys remember if you have any
questions at any point in this video
want me to expand on a certain point and
make another video Simply let me know in
the comment section and if you like the
video make sure you like it so I know
building your landing page in my opinion
using a platform such as gumroad which
is completely free is a great way to
start and build your data list so here
is an example of one of my food pages
and the free ebook that we provide and
we are using gumroad as the host you can
simply use chat gbt and canva to kind of
brand this page people will put 0 and be
able to download the ebook and trust me
this method Works once you start
building this email list you can simply
go to gun Road and download it as a SV
and you will have a list of all the
people who have downloaded your ebook
which brings us on to the next section
so we've created our ebook we have a
landing page and we are now collecting
data or emails now it's about the email
marketing the first thing we need to to
do is to find an ESP which is an email
service provider some of the popular
ones that you've probably heard of are
MailChimp active campaign the list goes
on a simple Google search and you'll
find loads now you also can do this
manually if you want to save money if
there is any point in this video where I
would want you to invest it would be at
this point now in terms of your emails
here is what I recommend you do use chat
GPT and again again use a rewording tool
to provide value to your audience so for
example for us we provide free recipes
or content related to food for our food
page but if you're a motivational page
you could provide tips self-development
tips you could literally do anything
it's all about value the reason to use
an ESP as opposed to do it manually as
with software you can create campaigns
you can automate it you can schedule it
Etc so it is worth it the next section
is all about monetization and how to
actually make money with these emails
and why you need to do it so now you
understand the whole process and how to
actually send emails now within our
email is how we're actually going to
make money now this is dependent on what
Niche you're in I'm going to discuss
this for my food page so when we send
out our emails at the bottom we will
always have a call to action which is
money related for us so an example for
this is this air fryer is currently 30%
off click here and you simply put a
hyperlink to an affiliate marketing
product now the reason why I really
recommend using these emails and using
the call to action at the bottom is
because your Instagram page or your
online presence elsewhere you don't want
to be promoting too heavily on that as
it will affect your growth and taking
your audience to another platform such
as your emails will allow you to push
sales more allowing you to constantly
get an audience to your email list and
still generating sales so guys you don't
want to become a Spam account to turn
your emails into how you attract sales
you can do affiliate marketing you can
do Drop Shipping guys and one of the
most popular methods is once you have a
popular email list you can sell
promotional space so for example let's
say my food page I can reach out to
kitchen gadget Pages kitchen equipment
businesses and say to them look I have
an email list with a few thousand people
would you like a slot in there they
could potentially offer me money or a
affiliate link so there are plenty of
different ways to really leverage these
email lists and I really think that this
is the future for most online businesses
and again I want you to remember that
you can still sell on your online
profiles but you are diversifying your
audience you know let's say worst case
scenario your account gets deleted you
still have your email list guys if you
want me to dive deeper into any section
in this video just let me know in the
comments my name is Alex and I'm all
about online business and growth let's
grow
