How to Write a Scammy Ebook in One Afternoon
Choose a Topic That Sounds Rich in Keywords
The secret to writing a scammy ebook isn’t deep research—it’s searchability. Pick a topic that looks profitable on Google, not one you know about. Use a keyword tool or just type “how to make money” and grab the first idea that appears.
Examples of instant gold:
- “Manifest Money Fast”
- “AI Side Hustles That Work”
- “Passive Income from Pinterest”
- “The Law of Attraction for Broke People”
- “Digital Freedom: Work Less, Earn More”
If people are desperate enough to search it, they’ll probably buy it.
Copy-Paste Inspiration from Everywhere
Scammy ebooks thrive on recycled wisdom. Read five blog posts, skim one Reddit thread, and watch two TikToks. Then rewrite everything in your own “voice,” which is just copy-paste plus emojis and phrases like “trust me” and “no one talks about this enough.”
Structure it like this:
- Big promise
- Fake science
- Generic steps
- Random mindset quote
- Call it a “system”
Congratulations—you’ve just summarized 80% of the ebook market.
Write a Dramatic Hook That Promises Salvation
Your intro is not about honesty—it’s about urgency and belief.
Start with something like:
“Last year, I was broke and lost. Then I discovered one simple shift that changed everything.”
Or:
“You’ve been lied to. The truth about success isn’t hard work—it’s alignment.”
By paragraph two, your reader should feel both inadequate and hopeful. That emotional cocktail is what sells.
Stretch One Idea Into a Whole Book
A scammy ebook is basically one idea repeated 10 times in slightly different fonts.
Example core idea: “Believe in yourself and take action.”
Now expand it into chapters:
- Mindset Is Everything
- You Deserve Wealth
- Stop Doubting Yourself
- The Secret to Alignment
- Why You’re Not Rich Yet
- The Power of Belief
- Action Creates Results
If it feels repetitive, perfect. Readers will mistake redundancy for depth.
Use Subheadings That Sound Profound
Nobody reads scammy ebooks word for word—they scan. Make your subheadings emotional, vague, and motivational.
Examples:
- “Energy Doesn’t Lie”
- “Clarity Attracts Cash”
- “The Universe Responds to Intention”
- “Your Vibe Is Your Business Model”
- “Trust the Process (Even When It’s Fake)”
Every subheading should make people nod without thinking.
Add Fake Research and Quotes
Cite “studies” with confidence, and no one will check.
Examples:
- “According to a Harvard study, mindset accounts for 87% of success.”
- “Neuroscientists agree that belief reprograms your DNA.”
- “Top CEOs use this same morning habit to generate millions.”
You can even quote yourself. Just add quotation marks and italics.
“Success isn’t a choice—it’s a frequency.” – You, apparently.
Fill Space With Lists and Affirmations
When you run out of content (around page 7), pad the ebook with bullet points and affirmations. It looks structured and psychologically comforting.
Example:
- I am ready to receive abundance.
- Money flows to me easily.
- I am a magnet for aligned opportunities.
- I am not refunding this ebook.
Ten pages of this = instant “transformation guide.”
Design It Like a Luxury Bible
Scammy ebooks rely on vibes over value. Use Canva templates with beige gradients, cursive titles, and motivational stock photos. Add gold sparkles and the word exclusive in at least one place.
Layout tips:
- Huge chapter titles
- Minimal text per page
- Page numbers optional
- Author photo: serious, filtered, mysterious
If it looks like it could sell for $97, it doesn’t matter what’s inside.
Name It Like a Spiritual Investment
The title determines your income, not the content. Combine a power word + vague benefit + hint of transformation. Just pretend to sounds smart (you may read How to sound smarter online using jargon and buzzwords,
Examples:
- “Magnetic Money Mindset”
- “The Freedom Formula”
- “Aligned to Abundance”
- “7 Shifts to Quantum Wealth”
- “The Unseen Algorithm”
Add a subtitle like “A Practical Guide to Effortless Success.” The word practical makes it sound legitimate.
Price It for Psychological Profit
Pricing a scammy ebook is art, not math. Here’s the formula:
| Price | Perceived Value | Strategy |
| $9 | “Cheap, low risk” | Good for beginners |
| $27 | “This must be real” | Sweet spot |
| $47 | “High-end wisdom” | Works well with fake bonuses |
| $97 | “This will change my life” | For desperate buyers |
Always end with 7 or 9. It feels more “aligned.”
Sell It Like It’s a Revolution
Your marketing should scream movement, not ebook.
Tell your followers they’re joining a wave of awakened entrepreneurs. Post lines like:
- “This isn’t just a guide—it’s an energetic transmission.”
- “Hundreds are already transforming their reality.”
- “Don’t miss your chance to quantum leap with us.”
Add a countdown timer and testimonials from usernames like @soulwealthqueen.
You’re not selling a file—you’re selling hope with good typography.
Automate and Repeat
Once your ebook sells once, the system is eternal. Post screenshots, call it “passive income,” and then write your next one in three hours.
Each ebook sells the previous ebook’s dream.
Each buyer becomes your next case study.
Each paragraph gets you closer to “thought leader” status.
You didn’t write a scam—you wrote a blueprint for belief.
