Off The Grid: Leaving Social Media

🔒 Self-Publishing Off the Amazon Path


Listen Later

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 :)
