Publishing Marketers
build your bestselling brand.

The problem

Everyone uses the same method
It’s been 10 years of the same method.
Everyone says that choosing the right keywords and using Amazon Ads is all you need to do, showing you millions in royalties earned.
Then you try it yourself, and somehow, it doesn’t work…

ads are getting more and more expensive
But how can a beginner in 2025 invest thousands of dollars in advertising when they haven’t earned anything yet?
The cost of ads keeps rising because that’s exactly what Amazon pushes you to do, and the more competition there is, the more you have to spend to get results.

the market is saturated
If people were already saying the market was saturated years ago, competition in 2025 is at its peak, with the rise of AI allowing anyone to create a (low-quality) book in a single day.
The real question is: do we really need to join that fight, or can we find customers in other ways?
Why our strategy works
1
We Build Real Skills to Create Quality Books and Promote Them Confidently
Forget quick hacks and Fiverr shortcuts.
You’ll master the theory and practical skills that make you independent and capable, so you can delegate later with confidence.
2
We Reach Customers Beyond Amazon to Escape the Competition
Stop fighting in oversaturated marketplaces.
Instead, learn how to attract unaware customers outside Amazon, where there’s less competition and more opportunity.
3
We Rely on Smart Organic Marketing, Not Expensive Tools or Ads
You don’t need pricey keyword tools or paid campaigns to succeed.
We teach proven organic strategies that use social media and authentic content to sell your books naturally.
Why us
We’re Dave and Miro, two full-time self-publishers for over 3 years now.
And we’re regular people, just like you.
-
We didn’t succeed during the golden age of self-publishing, we did it when everyone said the market was dead.
-
We started with no budget and still built a business worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
-
Our results come from consistent learning, execution, and constant improvement, not luck or shortcuts.
-
Like you, we were once lost in the noise of “guru” advice and endless conflicting strategies.
-
Tired of chasing trends and quick fixes, we decided to build our own system, and it worked.
This is our best-selling book ever, achieved without using ads or paid tools:
