Don't write a book, train an AI

There’s an easier way to use all that content you’ve created and build your personal brand.

Once upon a time, writing your book would have placed you at the forefront of your industry. It was more than just a collection of pages; it was a testament to expertise, hard work, and dedication. But as we’ve transitioned into the digital age, the floodgates of publishing have opened wide. With countless titles emerging every day, the unique prestige once associated with authoring a book has been diluted.

Yet, the desire to share knowledge and establish authority persists. The modern thought-leader is faced with a pressing question: Is there a more efficient, impactful way to disseminate wisdom in today’s digital climate? Enter you very own AI. A dynamic tool trained on your content, offering tailored insights, broader reach, and real-time engagement.

Let’s find out more.

Why today's thought leaders are looking beyond books

The romantic idea of writing a book often conjures a dreamlike scenario, one where creativity and success intertwine seamlessly. You’re in a state of perfect flow, ideas cascading from mind to paper with effortless grace. The first draft, an almost flawless masterpiece, requires mere tweaks. The result? A literary sensation.

Your book doesn’t just climb; it soars to the top of international best-seller lists. Suddenly, your business is a magnet for leads, your inbox flooded with opportunities. Your opinion, once just a voice in the crowd, is now revered amongst industry peers. You’re not just an author; you’ve become a thought-leader, a visionary.

And as you bask in the afterglow of success, publishing houses, once distant and unattainable, are now knocking on your door. They come bearing gifts: six-figure advances, promises of widespread distribution, and the tantalizing prospect of your next mega hit. The pinnacle of literary achievement.

Except it’s not like that. At all. Here’s why:

The myth of authority

There was a time when authoring a book was a clear demarcation of expertise. It signaled a deep dive into a subject, a mastery that few could claim. Today, the barriers to publishing have lowered. With digital platforms and self-publishing avenues, the market is inundated with titles. While this democratization has its merits, it’s also diluted the once-esteemed authority of being a published author. Simply put, having a book no longer guarantees the same level of recognition or respect.

The reality of writing a book

Beyond the allure of being an author lies the gritty reality of book-writing. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Crafting a coherent, engaging narrative demands countless hours of drafting, revising, and refining. And the work doesn’t end once the last word is written. Pursuing publishers, navigating rejections, and the eventual editing process all require time and often, a significant financial outlay. Even with all this investment, there’s no assured payoff at the end.

The truth about book marketing

So, you’ve written a book. Now comes the Herculean task of getting it noticed. With thousands of books vying for attention, marketing becomes pivotal. But here’s the catch: to put simply, people don’t get famous by writing best-selling books, they write best-selling books by getting famous. This reality means that an existing platform or personal brand often dictates a book’s success. For the uninitiated, the path is steeper. They face the dual challenge of not just promoting their book but also building their personal brand from scratch. The result? Many valuable books never see the limelight they deserve.

Train an AI model instead of writing a book

So if you’re not going to pen your life’s wisdom, what’s the alternative?

The emergence of powerful AI technology such as large language models (LLMs) has given creators and thought-leaders an opportunity like never before. They can use their stories, content and frameworks to engage with their network and reach new audiences.

Far from being a lesser option, we’ll see there are many benefits to creating an AI version with a tool like Coachvox AI.

Faster to create and launch

Speed and flexibility: Training an AI to convey your expertise is remarkably swift compared to the lengthy process of writing a book. You can update AI content anytime, making it a very flexible way to share what you know.

Simplified content integration: With AI, you can use content you’ve already created. There’s no need for a set order or narrative. This means you don’t have to go through the usual steps of writing a book, like rewriting, making book proposals, or finding someone to publish it.

Cost-efficiency: Opting for AI training will cost you far less than traditional book publishing, which often involves hefty editing, printing, and marketing expenses.

More effective, more valuable

Personalized engagement: AI can give answers that fit exactly what each person needs. This makes users feel like they’re getting special attention. Plus, talking with AI is interactive, making the learning experience much more engaging and effective than just reading something.

Global reach and multimedia advantage: AI can be used by anyone, anywhere in the world. It’s not just about reading; AI can show videos, graphics, and other cool stuff. This makes learning with AI way more interesting than just using a book.

Feedback and continuous improvement: One of the best things about AI is that it learns from what users say and do. This means it gets better and smarter over time. AI also figures out what topics people like most, helping to make even better content in the future.

Monetization opportunities: AI opens up new ways to make money. You can have subscriptions, charge for each question answered, or make money through ads. These options can bring in money from different sources.

Credibility in the digital age: AI needs to prove it’s trustworthy, especially because it’s not like a traditional book. Working with experts, showing where information comes from, and getting approval from authorities helps make AI more believable and trusted.

Maintaining a personal connection: Books are written by one person, in one way, for every reader. In that sense, they are totally impersonal. A Coachvox AI is friendlier and more human-like. This helps users feel like they’re really connecting with someone.

The perfect lead magnet

Combining many of these benefits, your Coachvox AI is a perfect lead magnet, helping you collect email addresses of prospective customers. Unlike traditional lead magnets, the personalised, interactive nature of an AI-powered chat make it hugely appealing.

Training an AI gives you clear return on investment – adding value to your audience, collecting email addresses and seeing what they’re actually talking about.

In summary

Training an AI for your business is a smart, strategic move. It’s clear-cut and practical, offering immediate benefits that a traditional book just can’t match. By choosing AI, you’re not just keeping up with the times; you’re paving the way for a more connected, efficient, and personalized experience for your audience. And the beauty of it all? It doesn’t close the chapter on writing your book. In fact, it could be the perfect co-author.

Too late? Already written your book? That’s perfect! You’ve now got all the content you need to create your AI version, and your audience will be able to chat to your book with AI!
