Self-Publishing Success Stories

Amber is now a self-publisher, author, and one of the first members of PA during its BETA stage. She has been here with AIA since late 2020. That means she has been here for 3 years and she is what we like to call a vet in this program. She is a licensed massage therapist AND an exotic dancer who found publishing as a way to get out of her career as a dancer and into something more long term and permanent. She built her own FB group and it has grown to over 5K people in just a year. In this interview we talk extensively about how she created her cover, outline, all the hurdles she dealt with, and doing deep customer research.

Jeff is a real estate agent in Las Vegas who intends to use his publishing income to support his (very costly) passion for sailing. He joined the course with a friend who had approached him about a different way to earn passive income. Now he has 2 books, one of which is a passion project and the other is a 30k book he published with the help of this program. In this interview we talk about building a relationship with your audience, reviews, FB ads, and how to overcome the inevitable challenges that comes up in business (and in life).

Despite huge setbacks and challenges, Stephanie Cavillini was able to overcome having to rewrite half her book, having a newborn baby, going through sleepless night, and having imposter syndrome. She was able to publish a book that really helps and inspires teen girls. In this interview, she shares how she was able to learn about her customers and publish a book that serves them from a place of faith and commitment. Such an inspiring interview for any moms thinking they can't do it!
