🔒 Self-Publishing Off the Amazon Path

What this episode covers

Last month, I was thrilled to join Karolina Wudniak of Paperwing Studio in the Indie Book Lab! We talked about how I approached self-publishing without relying on Amazon — including the platforms I used, the (costly) mistakes I made, and how much money I’ve brought in from my book so far (revenue AND profit).I also answered lots of attendee questions:Why did you decide to avoid Amazon? & How much could you really?What size audience would you recommend having before going Amazon-less?Is it realistic to make sales without Amazon’s reach? How do you handle discoverability?What does fulfillment look like without a big platform?What about international sales?Is this only viable for nonfiction or niche audiences? What about debut authors?How much more work is it, realistically?And finally… why is your paperback actually on Amazon anyway?It was a great conversation, and I’m excited to share the recording — exclusively with paid subscribers in the Clubhouse :)Tune in here for a preview, and to hear the whole episode, join the Clubhouse at offthegrid.fun/clubhouseWhen you do, you'll get access to over 40 bonus episodes (and counting), curated tech + creative business newsletters, and more.
