Self Publishing Hero is a Godsend

Self Publishing Hero is a Godsend! The amount of valuable information here, and the way the content is broken down so as to not overwhelm the students is remarkable. Content is also consistently updated and rerecorded in improved formats and methods to showcase the content. Absolutely love this course and highly recommend inexperienced writers who want to self publish to jump on board. The only downside is that my posts take a while to be replied to on the Facebook group by the top Mods. However, I haven't posted a lot either so this could just be a personal experience. In conclusion I would be lost without this course and I'm happy I took the leap that fateful day after hours of overthinking and wondering if it was worth it. I have my answer - it was!!

Great course, but I couldn't afford it

I watched as many lectures as possible in the month I had to evaluate the course and was very impressed. I learned a lot and wish I could have stayed in the course. I didn't because of the cost. I decided the books I write are in such a low-demand genre that I wasn't likely to make enough on book sales to recoup the cost of the class. But of all the training I've found, this has been the best. I highly recommend it.

The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is the fact that I asked for help with two blurbs and didn't get much. I was told one blurb was fine as it was and the other received only a very minor adjustment. I was hoping they could have produced an improved blurb.

If you write in a normal genre, chances are this course will easily pay for itself and set you on a path toward making a good living with writing.

Self-publishing Hero is a Super Hero

Self-publishing Hero is a great resource for the independent author. There are many organizations offering help, but I have not seen any that is as complete as this one. I am recommending it to all authors I talk with.

Far and Away the very BEST Program!

I've tried more than one method and the only thing I've ever had to show for it was a depleted wallet. That is so not the case here. Kosta's approach is so comprehensive and it's geared so that EVERY writer can gain from it. Whether you're working on your first or you've got a small library with your name on it.

Excellent Program

I'm in my third week and all of the videos and classes are great. I attended my first Q and A yesterday and also emailed them on the side. All of my questions have been answered. The course and program are well worth it.

Accolades are deserved

I have been a part of Kosta's group for about 8 months, and continue to learn from him. To me, that is a high accolade, because it means I am advancing in knowledge, and at the same time, he is always adding to the information he shares. I am extremely happy about the fact that I signed up with him, and I would do so again. I have yet to see results in terms of my part of Marketing, but I know it's because I had so much to do before I was ready to follow his guide. Do i still find it daunting? Oh yes. But Kosta understands that and is patience personified. I'm grateful.

Highly Recommend for Writers Wrestling Self-Publishing

Most helpful in navigating the process of self-publishing, well thought out a great approach. Kosta is an expert in the field, patient with questions, and generous with his time. Marketing is much different than writing and it's great to have someone to guide us. Tamsyn covers various topics on writing itself, grammar issues, book planning, overall guidance in writing different types of books, and the pluses and minuses of different book forms. And as a bonus, the Facebook page provides the opportunity to interact with other writers and help one another progress.

Great program to get started with self-publishing!

This was by far the best program I could have enrolled in to get started with self-publishing my books! When I self-published my first novel, I didn't know anything about the marketing side of things, and I didn't get very far. Then I found the SPH program, and it taught me some core concepts about how everything comes together in the world of self-publishing. Kosta is very knowledgeable about the marketing side of things, which is what I was missing, and gives great personalized tips and advice. He tells it like it is, encourages you to give updates, and motivates you to be consistent. A great coach! The community is very supportive as well. If you don't know where to start, Self-Publishing Hero is a great place to begin!

If you really love writing and want to have a career telling your stories, then you owe it to yourself to learn more about this program.

Exciting, creative course that will focus and energize you

I'm only in my second week and I absolutely love this course. I confess I'm totally clueless about how to market my work and myself. I'm very shy. But this course is teaching me a lot about why and how the pros succeed, and has helped and supported many other writers. I would have run from any dry, boring marketing course, but this one is EXCITING, creative, brilliant, loving and taking a lot that I already know and focusing and energizing it.

I didn’t think it would be this good…

I didn’t think it would be this good…

But if you are a writer who wants to make a living selling your books, then you seriously need to consider joining self-publishing hero. Why? Let me explain…

I have been writing, mostly as hobby, for most of my life. I recently decided that I wanted to supplement my income (as we all do) and though that perhaps I could start selling my books. Well, I was in for a shock. After about a year experimenting with keywords, blogs, social media and ads (which are a minefield) I was a few hundred pounds in the hole. There must be a way though, right? Look at all those books on the bestseller charts!

So I started research how to succeed as an author and that’s when Kosta popped up. His no-nonsense Australian approach (I’m a Brit!) was refreshing and soon I learned why what I had been doing wasn’t working for me. I had no strategy. I didn’t understand the economics, how the *business* side of publishing actually operated. So I decided to take the plunge and dive right in…

Boy was I impressed. I have discovered not only what I was doing wrong, but how to do things right! My mindset has changed completely and I am know happily selling books on Amazon for the first time. I have built my email list to nearly 2000 subs and if things continue to go well I might even be able quit my job and write full-time!

So my advice to anyone reading this go ahead and join the program. It will change your life!

Topnotch Program

The program is amazing, and the support is so uplifting. I'm never afraid to ask a question of Kosta or Tamsyn. Also, the opportunity to connect with other authors allows you to learn and grow together. If you want to succeed as a self-publisher, then this is the way to do it. I'm learning more than I ever thought possible. Thanks!

Kosta and his Self-Publishing Hero…

Kosta and his Self-Publishing Hero program is the real deal! I've been a published author since 2012 and was familiar with many of the concepts he teaches, so I I knew this was the program for me. Since taking his class, I have learned a lot about the business that I didn't know before. Kosta takes you through the process one step at a time, leading you by the hand all the way. I'm looking forward to implementing all of the concepts from his program. It's given me the confidence boost that I truly needed. Once I have my system in place, I plan to implement it with all of my releases. Kosta's program is a must have blueprint for writing and publishing that every author needs to ensure success in this fast-paced business. I thank Kosta for giving me the information I needed to ensure my success, giving my writing career a much needed boost. His course is worth every penny. In fact, it will be the best investment you've ever made for your writing career.

This has been a good investment in my writing career. I haven't finished the classes yet but have justified my cost many time over. The information is well organized and easy to understand. Kosta, thanks for the phone call to answer my questions prior to buying your course....Kudos to "Self Publishing Hero."
I have been writing for a couple of years and finally publishing my work. When you are new you don't even know how little know. This class has opened new horizons to a profitable career as and Author!!! Thanks again Kosta!!!!

Self-Publishing Hero is a wonderful tool for career driven authors.

Self-Publishing Hero is a wonderful tool for career driven authors. This program literally walks you through how to self-publish your books and the best way to go about marketing them. Kosta's videos are easy to understand, and if you are having trouble with a concept, he is more than willing to help breakdown topics.

The course is lengthy, and can appear overwhelming, but that's only because there is a substancial amount of information. The creators of the program understand that the book industry is constantly changing, therfore applies new content on a regular basis. It's obvious to me that this entire series is meant for the author to take full control of their manuscripts and marketing.
I loved the breakdowns in the marketing section. Kosta goes step by step with you on how to set up your ads, and goes into the details behind how to make that ad sucsessful.
Overall I've been very pleased with this course, and find myself still referring to the videos for guidence. I wish this marketing tool would have been around when I first started publishing.
