About this video

Another full run of his 30-day beginner plan, this time using ‘how to stop overthinking’ as the example topic and Claude (Opus) as the writing tool, with repeated pitches for his own Co-author.ai. Validation: search the topic on Amazon, use the free DS Amazon Quick View extension to see BSR on results, and look for multiple paperback books below 80,000 BSR — his example books sit at ranks like 189 and 312. The book itself is scoped as a one-day to one-week project of 10,000–15,000 words solving one problem for one audience. Workflow: list the audience’s pain points first, get a detailed outline, finalize a clear-but-catchy title (he rejects vague options like ‘Unstuck’ or ‘The 2 A.M. Mind’), generate chapter by chapter into a Google Doc, and edit in your own stories and voice — he notes that humanizing AI content is also what makes it copyrightable, and warns that generic AI gets repetitive from around chapter three or four because it forgets earlier chapters. Covers: ChatGPT’s image generation beats Claude’s; he favors text-led self-help covers. He repeats that Gumroad/own-website advice is usually sponsorship-driven, while Amazon supplies the buyers. Student results ($40 first day; $161,000 first year from 10 books) are presented as his claims with disclaimers.

Key takeaways

• Confirm several books below 80,000 BSR on page one before committing to a topic
• Scope the first book to 10–15k words, one problem, one audience; cap the project at about a week
• Expect generic AI quality to degrade after a few chapters — later chapters need more editing
• Text-led covers are outperforming realistic-image covers in self-help, per his observation
• Humanizing AI drafts is both a quality step and what makes the work copyrightable
