Vikrant Shaurya is the CEO and Founder of BestsellingBook.com. He’s also the author of two #1 bestsellers: P.O.W.E.R: The Success Mantra, and How to Write a Bestseller: Become a Bestselling Author, Attract High-Value Clients, and Skyrocket Your Authority. 

Vikrant is the most-viewed author for “eBook Publishing” on Quora and is recognized by the National Academy of Bestselling Authors.

A lifelong lover of books, this entrepreneurial bibliophile devoted years of his life not only to devouring the books of industry giants like Tony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki, Brendon Burchard, Tim Ferriss and Eckhart Tolle, but also to mastering the art and science of precisely how they built their business empires.

So in three years, Vikrant started his first company, The Books Factory, to help thought leaders become book authors to get the word out about their products and services. And it was indeed a factory, one that churned out book after book that gave these new authors the platform they needed to grow their business. 

But as it turned out, The Books Factory was more than just a factory. It was a premium, highly specialized, white-glove service that produced not just ordinary books, but #1 bestsellers. 

So in 4 years, Vikrant rebranded The Books Factory as BestsellingBook.com, because the books he and his team were producing consistently transformed their authors’ lives. 

They helped them win massively more clients; get invited to numerous TV shows, podcasts, and speaking gigs; and ultimately skyrocket their business like never before.

Vikrant has already helped more than 500 aspiring authors become bestselling authors, and he continues to be a trailblazer in the book industry. 

With BestsellingBook.com, he provides a totally done-for-you, 100%-moneyback-guarantee service that includes ideating, writing, editing, publishing, and marketing books to become #1 bestsellers on the likes of Amazon, The Wallstreet Journal, and USA Today in just six months or less.

Tim Keen, co-founder of Loop Club, is a LA-based marketer (originally from Melbourne, Australia, with a stint in Montreal) whose previous day job was in a touring rock band. He learned the ropes by dropshipping sex toys and bootleg Harry Potter merch, and leveraged that experience to get his first-ever full-time job at 28, running Google Ads at MuteSix. After scaling 3 clients by 10X in 6 months, he got back into the music industry with a stint at Roland, working on digital transformation on the Global Marketing Team. Then he accidentally co-founded a digital marketing agency and the rest is history.

The agency has grown 10X in the last 2 quarters and is poised to replicate that success in 2021. 60% of clients have received funding or been acquired in the last year, and 90% have increased revenue by at least 100%. We work with high-growth eCommerce brands whose values we can get behind, and are deeply committed to diversity & inclusion within our own organization.

Loop Club also dabbles in progressive politics: we ran paid media for the Nithya Raman For City Council campaign in Los Angeles, which got more votes than any city council campaign in Los Angeles history.
