By skyforbes Don’t Get Mislead by the Clickbait.
Recently, I came across a viral post that claimed something like this:
“I created an eBook using ChatGPT, uploaded it to Amazon KDP, priced it at $8, and now I get sales every single day. Making money online is so easy!”
A reader asked for the book link.
Silence. No reply.
Yet the post went viral with thousands of views.
A few days later, I saw a YouTube video with the same message:
“Write an eBook with ChatGPT and earn millions in royalties.
The video had 3 lakh+ views — proof that people are desperate for shortcuts. And content creators know this. They capitalize on this desperation to get clicks, views, and followers.
But what is the reality?
Let me share my experience as someone who has actually published books — not just made motivational videos.
