Common Questions

What is the Learn hub?
The Learn hub is a collection of evergreen reference guides covering everything from writing your first book with AI to publishing on Amazon KDP. Unlike blog posts, these guides are continuously updated and designed as permanent resources.
Who are these guides for?
Anyone creating ebooks, lead magnets, or digital books - whether you are a first-time author, a coach packaging expertise, a marketer building lead magnets, or an experienced self-publisher looking to use AI tools effectively.
How are these different from blog posts?
Blog posts cover timely topics and trends. Learn guides are comprehensive, evergreen references that cover a topic from start to finish. They are updated regularly rather than published once.
Do I need to be an Inkfluence AI user?
No. The guides cover general ebook creation topics - SEO, marketing, formatting, publishing. Inkfluence AI features are referenced where relevant, but the advice applies regardless of which tools you use.
How often are guides updated?
Guides are reviewed and updated whenever platforms, algorithms, or best practices change. Amazon KDP policy updates, Google algorithm changes, and new AI capabilities are reflected as they happen.
Can I suggest a new guide topic?
Yes. Reach out via the contact page or help centre with your suggestion. Guides are prioritised based on what creators ask about most.
Where should I start?
If you are brand new to ebook creation, start with "How to Write a Book with AI" for the writing process, then "Ebook Formats Explained" for export decisions. If you are ready to sell, go straight to "Ebook Marketing" and "Self-Publishing on Amazon KDP".
