We Don’t Just Talk Self-Publishing. We Do It.

scott-crop

Hi, I’m Steve Scott, a multiple best-selling author who has built a full-time business around self-publishing, with over 80 books and counting.

I struggled with my first few books, but once I cracked the Amazon code I’ve been able to create a steady income around my books year after year.

Steve’s Authority Business Model Lit A Fire Under Me To Pursue Self-Publishing

barrie-crop

Hi, I’m Barrie Davenport, author of 28 self-published books and founder of the top-ranked personal development blog, Live Bold & Bloom.

When I first started self-publishing, I was knee-deep in raising 3 kids and building my online business.

Until I met Steve, it never occurred to me that I would have the time or ability to become a bestselling author and earn a solid six-figure income with my books.

Together We’ve Sold Over One Million Copies Of Our Books.

Overwhelmed By What It Takes To Be Successful As An Author?

This is the struggle we hear from so many aspiring and even established authors.

You’re drowning in information and advice.
You have no idea where to begin.

You get bogged down in one part of the process and feel stuck — so stuck, you might stop trying altogether.

Sometimes it feels like you’re just going around in circles without any specific, actionable direction that leads you to your goal — a published book with lots of sales.

We’ve definitely felt this way too. The self-publishing process IS confusing, and the ongoing changes with Amazon make you want to tear your hair out.

When you search the web for answers about writing, publishing and marketing, you get conflicting advice from so called “experts” who’ve only published a couple of books…and that was years ago.  

Who the heck do you trust to get help?

If you’re like a lot of writers, it can be overwhelming to try to figure out all the steps for a successful book launch. 

And you’ve probably wondered where to find the resources and solutions that show you exactly what to do… without wasting your time.

What If You Had A One-Stop Solution To Help You Build Your Self-Publishing Book Business?

If all we had to do for success was simply write our books, then it would be much easier… But figuring out the whole process is not easy…

And wading through all the outdated online information will lead you down the wrong road…and leave you drowning in confusion.

Who has that kind of time to waste?

Between us, we’ve had years of trial and error, learning what works and what doesn’t work to market and sell our books.

We wish we had someone to lead us by the hand when we first started — or at least someone who told us what NOT to do. 

That’s why we created a one-stop resource to help writers streamline the whole self-publishing process…

If you skip this course…
“If you are going to climb Mount Everest you want the best Sherpas available.  If you are going to climb Mount Publishing you want the best guides available. Authority Pub Academy offers you 24/7/365 access to the expertise of a team of Publishing Sherpas who will teach you to climb where they already have ascended and succeeded.  If you skip this course you are not setting yourself up to win.”

One of the best decisions I’ve made as a writer…
“Joining the Authority Pub Academy has been one of the best decisions I’ve made as a writer.  This course is filled with a wealth of information to not just point you in the right direction, but to provide clear, concise steps to get you from point A to point B.  Before joining I was a little skeptical.  But I listened to my gut that told me that this course was a gold mine. I’m so glad that I listened!”

I secretly dreamed of publishing books someday…
“When I decided I wanted to start self-publishing, I didn’t know where to begin. For years, I thought of writing as my hobby but secretly dreamed of publishing books someday. I researched online classes and found the Authority Pub Academy course was exactly what I needed to get started. The course modules are well organized and packed with helpful information. The short video tutorials are perfect because you can complete one or two at a time at your own pace. I’ve since written several books on Amazon and more are in the works, and it’s all due to this course, which helped me turn my dreams into reality!”

If you’re on the fence still…

Or if other courses have left you stranded (and skeptical)…

Then we want to give you EVERY opportunity to put Authority Pub Academy into action and build a profitable business around your books. That’s why we’re giving your a full MONTH to go through the training, keep up with the assignments, implement our best practices in publishing your bestseller.

And if you reach out within 30 days to show us that you’ve taken action from the lessons (you have to show us proof!), and for some crazy reason STILL aren’t making any progress, then we’ll be happy to return the investment. 

But, you DO have to do the work. Authority Pub Academy is for writers who are committed to implementing our systems and strategies in self-publishing, and NOT for tire kickers only interested in collecting more information without taking action.

And we will be strict on this last point – you absolutely must do the work and put the strategies into action to be eligible for a refund. 

There’s so much transformation waiting for you on the other side of this course, and since our main goal is your success, we’re not afraid to dish out some tough love when it comes to holding you accountable.
