Why write a book when you can earn 100x more with the same content? In this video, I break down the AI writing trend no one is talking about—how nonfiction writers can repurpose their work into high-value long-form AI prompts and digital tools. I explore why books have always been training prompts for human beings, how AI can now deliver those same insights more reliably, and why this shift opens up exponentially more lucrative monetization models. If you're a nonfiction writer, author, or content creator, this is the biggest opportunity you're missing—and it’s hiding in plain sight. Let’s talk about how to turn your knowledge into scalable income in the age of AI.

(02:37) Why Books Have Always Been Training Prompts

(08:43) The Valuable Skill Non-Fiction Writers Aren’t Monetizing Effectively
