Writing Books With AI | Content Writer by Dibbly Create 2024

About this video

In this sponsored first part of a six-video series, Dale walks through writing a book with Dibbly Create’s Content Writer, stressing that human intervention is the most critical component and that a first draft still needs editing, proofreading, formatting, metadata and marketing. Starting a new project, he advises listing six to a dozen interests where the author has real experience, then using the Kip research tool’s search term analysis to study Amazon books: for one example he cites a best seller rank around 136,000, about 12 monthly units sold and about $162 in monthly sales, with strengths and weaknesses drawn from reviews and short- and long-tail keyword analysis saved to the project notes. He optionally cross-checks keywords in Publisher Rocket, looking for high demand and low supply. He then uses the title generator for fiction or non-fiction, settles on a homesteading kitchen companion book, and generates an outline for 10 chapters and a minimum 20,000 words, though he suggests 30,000 to 40,000 words would give more depth. Feeding the outline chapter by chapter into Content Writer, choosing chapter type, tone such as conversational and creative writing, and target audience, he populated the whole book in less than half an hour; one chapter ran about 3,900 words. Comparing versions, the draft without research had many redundancies, while the with-research version had fewer redundancies and more storytelling, though it cost more tokens and he burned through almost his whole month’s supply. He shows exporting via the Pro-only Export V2 templates or Export V1 to a document, checking the draft in ProWritingAid, and says the next step is refining the manuscript with human editing.

Key takeaways

• Dale stresses human intervention is essential: AI drafting does not remove editing, proofreading, formatting, metadata or marketing work.
• Research comes first in Dibbly Create: search term analysis surfaces competitor ratings, best seller rank, estimated sales, review-based strengths and weaknesses, and keywords.
• He generated a 10-chapter outline with a 20,000-word minimum and populated the full draft in less than half an hour using Content Writer.
• Generating with research cost more tokens but produced fewer redundancies and stronger storytelling than generating without research.
• He nearly exhausted his monthly token supply on the with-research book, so he advises monitoring token usage in the dashboard.
