Hi again and welcome to our lesson. In this lesson, we will see how to use ChatGPT to create a children’s book using KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing). First, you need to create an account on KDP. Once you have an account, choose the category of kids’ books as they are easier with little text and some illustrations.
To get started, you can use Chachi Material to provide the story and Blue Willow to get the illustrations. Chachi Material is an AI software that can generate story ideas. You can ask Chachi Material to give you low competition niches for KDP kids’ books. For example, you can ask for stories that focus on diverse and underrepresented groups, such as featuring main characters with disabilities or from different cultures and traditions.
If you need more niche ideas, you can ask Chachi Material for suggestions. Some other niche ideas could be books that focus on specific hobbies or interests like gardening, cooking, or robotics. You can also consider books that teach social-emotional skills, problem-solving, or personal finance. Another idea is to educate children about lesser-known historical events or figures.
Once you have chosen a niche, you can use ChatGPT to generate a book in that field. For example, you can ask ChatGPT to write a book that teaches life skills like personal finance or time management. Let’s say we choose the niche of teaching life skills. The title of our book could be ‘The Adventures of Penny and Nick: Learning to Save and Spend’.
Now let’s move on to the illustrations. We will use Blue Willow, an AI software similar to Chachi Material, to generate illustrations for our book. Blue Willow allows you to create amazing photos and characters. You can specify the characteristics of the characters, such as two boys, seven years old, with black or gray backgrounds in a cartoon style.
Once you have the illustrations, you can use a tool like Canva to add text and make any necessary changes. Canva allows you to remove the background of the images, even without the premium version. You can also add elements like a forest in the background to match the story.
After adding the text and finalizing the illustrations, your KDP children’s book will be ready. It may take a few hours of work, but it will be worth it. I hope you found these ideas helpful and that they serve as a good beginning for your career. Thank you for your attention, and good luck!
