The Anti-Amazon Book To Cash System Checklist
If you are reading this, you surely have read my post about the Anti Amazon Book To Cash System case study.
Without wasting your time, let’s take care of business.
The Anti Amazon Book To Cash System is built on the premises of:
- Partner with smart AI tools to create high-value, high- quality books that solve real-life problems that people need solutions to.
- Publishing your books in as many formats on as many non-Amazon platforms as possible.
- Publish your books in as many non-English languages as possible to cater for the needs of billions of readers who don’t speak or read in English
- Rinse step 1 to 3 and repeat every month
The purpose of this checklist and toolkit is to give you the necessary tools and directions on how to implement this system to build yourself a thriving book publishing empire that will guarantee you a stream of consistent passive income every months.
Now the question, how do I partner with AI to create high-value, high-quality books that solves real life problems that people are ready to pay to solve?
Creating books by writing them as good as it sounds isn’t that feasible to drive this system and unless you have the cash to spend on hiring ghostwriters to create books for you, you are better off leveraging smart AI tools to do the job for you.
I have tried tons of AI book creation tools in the past, and for every one of these tools, I have one issue or the other with them.
And as a smart entrepreneur who knows that the way to make real money online is to find problems that people are having and provide a solution in exchange for being paid for solving those problems.
I started out solving my own problem at first, and to do this, I invested in building an AI tools myself that can create ghostwriters like quality-value and high-quality books for myself.
Since then, I have been using PubliScribe, my in-house AI book creation tool, to create books for my Anti-Amazon Book To Cash System’s portfolio.
And unlike other AI book creation tools, it’s not so expensive, and it’s a complete book creation suite that gives you all you need to create quality books.

And then comes the question of where I should publish my books?
The name Anti-Amazon Book To Cash System isn’t a coincidence at all, it’s intentionally named that to show you that it’s possible to make good money publishing books without having to deal with the many bullshit Amazon KDP throws in the way of authors and publishers.
There are tons of other platforms that you should publish your book on to gain more visibility and exposure for your books.
Here is a list of platforms you should publish to:
- Ingramspark : This publishing platform has been a source of revelation for me and other publishers who have been using the Anti-Amazon Book To Cash System to make bread every month.
They publish your books to over 100 platforms, libraries and even physical bookstores in paperback, ebook and hardcover!
This platform has driven a major bulk of my book publishing revenue for more than two years now and one thing I like about them is that people, business and other bookstores buys books in bulk from this platforms unlike Amazon where people only buy books in ones and twos.
Setting up an account is free and only takes two or three days for verification of your identity.
On Ingramspark, you should publish your books in:
– Paperback
– eBook
– Hardcover
– As many languages as possible, starting from English, Spanish, and French for a start
- Draft2Digital : If Ingramspark is the holy grail of the Anti-Amazon Book To Cash System of making bread from books in print (paperback and hardcover), Draft2Digital is the holy grail of making big bucks from books in ebook.
Draft2Digital like Ingramspark is an aggregator and publishes your ebook to platforms like
– Barnes & Noble
– Kobo
– Apple Book Store
– Smashwords
– And 10 other major ebook platforms.
While you can publish your book as a paperback and audiobook on Draft2Digital, I prefer to use this platform for solely publishing ebooks.
While there are other platforms you can publish to, these two platforms got your book covered to be published in almost all the platforms that books are been bought online, so you want to stick with these two with an option of putting your books on Amazon if you want.
Like I have mentioned earlier, one of the main pillars of the Anti-Amazon Book To Cash System is publishing your book in as many formats and in as many languages as you can afford.
When I tell publishers and authors to do this, one question I do get most of the time is how do I translate my book to other languages and in as many formats as possible.
As a lover of what AI can help me achieve, I have tried to use AI and even create a tool that translates my books into other languages in a way that gives readers and buyers in those other languages a good reading experience. AI, I must say, isn’t there yet with this.
I have had to hire a team of human translators who can go through AI translated books and make the right human correction and input as the best cost-effective way to get my books and that of my other publisher students published in Spanish and French.
If you want a turnkey solution to help you translate your book to these two languages (Spanish and French), you can steal a deal here to use my pool of already vetted human Spanish and French editors and proofreaders.
And to answer how to get your book formatted and designed as a paperback and hardcover, the answer like that of translating books is that I haven’t seen or had any AI tool that can take a raw manuscript and format books for ebook, paperback, and hardcover like a human will do.
And again, I’ve got a good deal for you with my in-house book formatting team here.
Note that there are other book translating and formatting solutions online. A trip to Fiverr (where I have been running and book formatting agency for authors since 2015) will give you so many options of pricing and service options.
If you like exploring and would rather not save time and energy going with a proven team and getting a good deal for that, you can go to platforms like that and Upwork to hire your team of translating and formatting experts.
The Anti Amazon Book To Cash System Toolkit
Here are all the tools and links you need to implement this system and get results from it
1. Publishing Sites
These are platforms you want to have your book published on:
- Ingramspark: Publish your book as paperback and hardcover to over 70 bookstores, libraries, book platforms and bookshops
- Draft2Digital: Publish your book as ebook to Apple iBook Store, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Scribd, Overdrive, Smashwords and 6 other platforms
2. Book Publishing Tool
- PubliScribe: This is an AI book creation tool I created first for myself and I have used for months, testing it myself before I rolled it out to the public.
With PubliScribe, you get all you need to create your high-value, high-quality problem-solving books.
Click this link to get free lifetime access to PubliScribe with 2 FREE credits, enough to create your first 2 books.
- ChatGPT or Claude AI: With PubliScribe, you have all you need to create all your books to implement this system.
In the initial days of me using this system, my virtual assistants were using ChatGPT and Claude AI, but really, creating a book alone takes time chatting back and forth with these AI tools.
It’s so time-consuming and tasking as well.
3. Book Formatting
After you have created your books, you will need to format them for all the formats you need to get your book published.
Till date, I haven’t seen a better way to manually format my books that works.
I tried some AI tools in the past but I really don’t like the output.
So with this, you need to either learn how to format your book as a verified EPUB file (for your ebooks) and PDF files (for your paperback and hardcover books) or you hire someone to do these for you.
There are options like Fiverr and Upwork you can explore for this.
And if you would like to have an offer and a solution to handle your book formatting, then you can send me an email at [email protected] to ask for my book formatting offer.
4. Book Cover
Your books need book covers
For your ebooks, all you need is a front page book cover (for Draft2Digital) and for your hardcover and paperback, you will need not only the front cover, back cover and spine (if your book has more than 100 pages) but also a formatted paperback and hardcover pdf cover files for Ingramspark.
I started out paying for a designer to design my book covers but now, I have a semi-automated workflow system that handles all of these.
I am working on a training that will show you my workflow for creating my covers and all cover files you need
For a start, you can use Ideogram AI to create your covers. It needs some initial learning and tweaks for a start anyway.
And if you prefer to outsource this, you can hire a cover designer.
5. Book Idea Research
My go-to guy for researching book ideas is ChatGPT.
If you have got a niche to focus on, then this is as easy as asking ChatGPT what are book ideas you can write that solve problems for your target readers.
Frequently Asked Questions
And now to wrap things up, I intentionally keep this part for only serious people who will read my case study posts online and want more by downloading this checklist and toolkit.
Telling you about the Anti-Amazon Book To Cash System without answering some frequently asked questions won’t be something I would like to do.
And I am sure many who will read my case studies and this checklist and toolkit will have some questions in their mind.
Here are common questions I have seen people ask me when I talk about this system and my sincere answers to those questions.
- I am worried about using AI to create books, isn’t that kind of unethical and something that can get me into trouble with those publishing platforms?
Answer: My books and that of my other publisher students have had one goal – to solve real-life problems for people.
And is it ethical to create a book that solves real-life problems for people who are happy to pay for books that solve their problems? You be the judge.
There are several AI book creation tools, many of which are just hastily created solutions that produce junk.
I created PubliScribe as a publisher and an avid book buyer and reader in mind to make sure there is an AI tool that can create ghostwriters’ standard books that offer quality value for readers.
And for the publishing platforms, for every book I publish, they solve a problem and people buy it. These are signals for these platforms that I am not churning out junk like most people do with AI-created books, and I have made sure I create a win-win situation for the platforms, myself and my end readers.
Of note is that Ingramspark has a book return policy where your books can be bought and returned back and this alone is enough to keep any publisher in check to only publish high-quality and high value books that won’t be returned by buyer.
- How much can I really make from doing this?
Answer: To tell anyone they are going to make an amount of money would be a mere prediction for me.
The real question here is can you make a good amount of money from doing this?
And the answer to this is a big yes.
I have been using this system for more than two years now and I didn’t start to make a lot from the first day.
I was creating and publishing books consistently for like 3 months even when I wasn’t getting the results I wanted.
But I didn’t give up; I was showing up every time, trying different things until I finally figured out what was working.
And you didn’t have to spend that much time figuring out things like I did. You are reading this and you know exactly what to do.
Like anything good in life, this doesn’t come easy. It’s no get rich quick system that will pump money into your bank account doing nothing.
To really make this work and work well, you need to give it the time, effort and energy needed to lay the best foundation for building your book publishing empire.
My best advice is this.
Give it 6 months. Show up every time and do exactly what you have learned from the case study and from this checklist/toolkit.
It works but it takes time, consistency and being persistent.
- I don’t have the time, can I just have someone who can do this for me?
Answer: Of course!
For more than a year now, I’ve had two full-time assistants who run my book publishing empire.
But I didn’t have anyone working for me for the first 8 months. I had to learn how this works before I can even afford to pay someone to do the dirty job for me.
My best take on this?
Even if it’s for a couple of books, try this yourself to know how things work and then take all you know and have learned to create a system for someone else to do the job for you.
- I need some help to get started, can you help me?
Answer: Sure, I can
I will say jump on a call with me and let’s talk here.
That’s not free anyway but affordable.
