When I wrote my first AI book, I didn’t imagine it would become part of a business generating steady global revenue.
But over time, it turned into something bigger, a content ecosystem powered by AI and automation.
This isn’t about being an author.
It’s about building a system where your ideas work even when you’re not online.
Here’s exactly how I turned AI writing into a predictable side hustle.
1️⃣ Start With a Clear Theme — Not a Random Idea
The first trap most creators fall into: writing what feels interesting.
Instead, write what solves a problem.
I started with a single focus — “How can people use ChatGPT to save time?”
That led to the ChatGPT Prompts book series, which became an entire library across 20+ niches.
💡 Prompt Example:
You are a content strategist. Identify 10 high-demand topics where people struggle daily, but AI can provide immediate solutions.
Rule: Don’t chase topics. Chase problems with emotional weight.
2️⃣ Use AI to Build Faster Than You Think
Once I found the problem, I used AI to:
- Outline the structure
- Draft examples
- Generate titles, blurbs, and keywords
- Even write promotional copy
AI wasn’t replacing me, it was accelerating my execution speed.
This is how I created 40+ books in one year — without compromising quality.
3️⃣ Focus on Multiplying Output, Not Effort
After publishing a few books, I automated everything:
- Use AI templates for formatting and cover design
- Connect Zapier + Notion to track royalties
- Repurpose book insights into Dev.to posts, YouTube lectures, and ReThynk AI Magazine articles
Each book now becomes a product, a blog, a video, and a course — all from one core piece of content.
4️⃣ Stack Small Revenue Streams
Instead of chasing one big launch, I built multiple streams that flow consistently:
Once you have 5–10 digital assets feeding each other, $10K/month becomes a system, not luck.
5️⃣ Promote Through Value, Not Ads
Every book or course I launch is linked in context, inside an article, tutorial, or Dev.to post.
I don’t sell; I teach, and the product becomes the next step.
“Inbound marketing is just education with direction.”
Final Thought
You don’t need millions of followers.
You need a repeatable system of creation + distribution + automation.
With AI, you already have the tools.
All you need is consistency and clarity.
Start small: one book, one topic, one product.
Then build systems around it until your side hustle becomes a self-running engine.

I’m really glad that the message about clarity and automation resonated. That line, “Inbound marketing is just education with direction,” came straight from my own journey of figuring out how to make impact scalable without losing authenticity.
Really appreciate that, Jaideep 🙏 Your writing always feels actionable and genuine — that “education with direction” line stuck with me too. Excited to see where your next post goes! 🚀
