How AI helps, and where it stops

AI does the first draft. You make it worth buying.

AI does

Find ideas, outline your product, write your sales page, script your Shorts and draft your ads. 19 prompts, filled in with your own answers.

You do

Add your own examples, check the facts and test it on real people. AI doesn't post, run ads or sell anything for you. That part is you.

The honest part

What this book won't promise

From the book's first page

"Nothing here is guaranteed, and anyone who guarantees you income is selling you something."

What it does instead

It shows you the maths of one sale: the price, the fees, and the most you can pay for an ad to get one buyer. It tells you when not to spend. Most first products need changes, and some never sell. The book shows you how to tell.

Start with $0

Free toolsEvery tool in the plan starts on a free plan. No face and no followers needed.

First buyersFrom your Shorts, your page and a waitlist, before any ad money.

Then adsOnly after people have bought, with $150 to $300 you can afford to lose.

A young man laughing while filming his hands sketching in a notebook, a phone on a small arm above the table. — No face needed: your hands, a screen recording or a voiceover all work.

Before you buy

Your questions

01Is this a get-rich-quick thing?

No. It promises no income, and it warns you off "done-for-you" stores and resell packs. It's a ZAR 489 step-by-step book, with no upsells.

02I don't know what to sell.

Level 1 gives you 36 starter ideas across 12 interests, 5 places to find problems people have, and a scorecard to pick one.

03I can't write or design.

The prompts do the first draft, and the book walks you through making it simple, checking it, and designing it in Canva.

04I don't want to show my face.

You don't have to. Screen recordings, your hands, text on screen and a voiceover all work.

05I've got work or uni.

The plan is 1 to 2 hours a day, in a fixed slot, with a day off every week.

06Why pay when YouTube and ChatGPT are free?

Free videos are scattered. This is one plan in order, with tools that use your numbers, prompts that use your answers and a 30-day tick list.

07What exactly do I get?

An interactive web book. You read it online with your account, and your progress and answers save to your account, so they come back on any device where you sign in.

08Does it work on my phone?

Yes, read it in your phone's browser. Sign in on your laptop and it opens where you left off.

09Can I get a refund?

Yes. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee: ask within 30 days, as long as you've read less than 10% of the book. The full terms are in our refund policy. If it won't open, email us and we'll fix it.

10I'm under 18.

Ask a parent or guardian to buy it for you. The book explains how a parent can own the accounts while you do the work.
