I have been able to overcome the emotional fear of being published. The 7DPC got me an aggressive timeline and task to get it done and I did it. The book is published and many, many lessons have been learned.

I created something I can hold and give to others.
I autographed a book for my wife at her request.
I have shared items on how I think as a legacy to my children.

It has been a great process that now sort of consumes me. Still a lot to learn and some of the lessons are hard as they are undoing things that I have cemented in my thought process. However, that is what is exciting as I can rewrite that story of my life with a new one.

Very young at this but knowing it will change my life. Can I define it today, no, but I will someday and maybe that will even be a book.

There are an incredible amount of resources that are consistently updated. Lots to take in, but it's done in a logistical way and walks you through the many apps and steps needed to pull off publishing a successful book in today's market. There are videos, transcriptions of the video, and a huge amount of bonus resources and trainings. My coach, Brandon, was phenomenal, so patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to share a new resource and available via email, group and private coaching. Customer service is excellent, done via chat, and if there's an issue, always seeks to resolve. Overall, an awesome experience. I've just signed up for the platinum publishing.ai version as I want to move fast for the publishing of another 6-8 books in the next year. Tip - stay engaged and attend all the group coaching even if it's to listen. When you listen to others challenges, you learn so much!

The biggest win so far has been (my husband & my) decision to trust our intuition & the authenticity of everyone we talked to at Publishing.com beforehand and take the big step to do the course! The big step towards changing our lives! While I've not yet published my first book, I am well on my way to doing so. I signed up for the Accelerator course, which I highly recommend. And, my husband signed up for the "bring a partner along" bonus. Both the Platinum.ai & The Publishing Accelerator programs have proven roadmaps, so you can go step-by-step to learning how to publish your book(s). You are not alone. Everyone I've interacted with has genuinely wanted me to succeed. Though I don't yet have a photo of me smiling, holding onto my first book, I know I will soon. I think it is important to hear from students like me, to encourage folks to trust their gut & take that leap of faith. Now, I'm less than 3 months away from publishing my first book. If I hadn't taken that leap, it'd be 3 months down the same, old road, and me being stuck in the same, stagnate place. Now, I'm revitalized and on the verge of having my life transformed! Actually, my life is already being transformed. I look forward to coming back in a few months with my first published book! Then, my first $10K month! You don't get too many opportunities to transform your life. This one is genuine. Trust your intuition. Take that leap to changing your life!

There are several reasons why I have selected to devote my efforts to publishing several books and to become a part of Publishing.ai. (The twins were instrumental in motivating me to move forward and fulfill this dream).

First and foremost, I have had experiences in my life that need to be shared with those who have the same interests as I do. That includes many experiences with skin diving, mountain biking, and romantic fine dining. I have traveled extensively worldwide and have seen exotic fish up close and personal. I have been on many mountain bike trails and seen nature at its best and in its most natural habitat, and I have had romantic dining experiences that included tasting unique cuisines, which I remember fondly. These experiences have moved me to share my knowledge with those who may benefit from my past endeavors. It is a desire that I am passionate about, and I hope to see it become a reality.

Wish I could say I had already published--I'm up to my outline and writing samples.

Meanwhile, this is a positive experience on many levels. When I do start producing books and selling them, that will add to my financial security—I do not have a pension. It's uplifting to be around supportive, practical go-getters, several of whom are Boomers like me.

I gain much from the energy and information Christian and Rasmus instill in their modules.

They have shared their process so openly. (I even appreciate the slides describing the Valley of Discouragement, which is coming in very handy right now.) I love the Success Journey spreadsheet that is part of Accelerator. It covers everything.

Basically, it's all here. It requires commitment to learning it and doing it, that's the main thing.

So much thought and caring obviously goes into this product, and I consider it a blessing AND one of the biggest challenges I've ever faced.

There is a lot to learn, but you do learn it and, again, the whole team is quite supportive with this.

Thank you and great success to us all.

This has been the best experience ever! I really appreciate all the professionalism, all the help and all the guidance this company and all of its wonderful employees have given me during my entire journey from beginner to expert. The trip is easy if you know the path! These guys all know the path, and helped me learn it as well. I HIGHLY recommend them!!!! Its kind of like driving in the dark on a road in a car (trying to do this all yourself) as compared to having these guys guide you every step of the way which is like driving that same car, but in broad daylight. You tell me which way would be easier? Right?! Trust them, they will guide you all along the way in the right direction. They are experts at this and know the path already. We only live once, why not shorten the learning curve here and get the help from these guys. It definitely worked for me, and I know it will work for you as well. They are EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Publishing.com has been amazing! Everything they teach is spot on and they know what they are talking about. They guide you step by step in the publishing process. I just published my book in February and it is now April and I have made over $1,000 in April alone. I cannot recommend the program enough.

I think you did a great job I learned a lot about how to publish a book and plan to continue that, but more importantly, I've learned how AI tools work, and it's opened up applications for my existing business I would have not realized before taking the course.

The AIA and PA program experience has certainly exceeded my expectations. There are so many modules and videos to go through (that's a good thing); information and resources that cover every single aspect about publishing; the coaches are so kind, patient, and incredibly helpful; the FB communities are also supportive and I love that we all champion each other. Last but not least, the program and the software are constantly being improved which I appreciate. I feel like my dreams are possible because of Publishing.com. Thank you!

Publishing.com is a really great course to teach you how to self-publish book using AI. They have a really great sales team that will make you think its easy, and fast, but truthfully, it isn't, unless you spend lots of money. That's another thing, they make you think the only cost associated with self-publishing is what you pay for the program, but that's not true either. They don't tell you about a lot of the publishing costs along the publishing process. Every step of the publishing process costs money, or time. I found the program valuable, and I'm glad I got it for what it has taught me, but it was not the blue sky dream I was sold in the sales video. I will say the support team and resources are amazing, but I found the 6-month subscription to not be long enough to get the full value from the program, and I did not want to spend another $4K for another 6 months. If you've got extra disposable income and love to write, read, and publish, this program is great for getting started. If not, don't get trapped in something you may not be ready for.

This company is a SCAM, They just want your money and they don't respond on emails.
The worst experience ever.

I hit some bumps in my journey and reached out to support and Paulette was an absolute life saver. She listened, understood the nuance of my situation, and helped find a real solution.

If you’re kind, clear, and willing to put in the work, this company will meet you there. Huge thanks to Paulette for showing what true support looks like.

Hi , y'all ! Everything about AIA is new to me , as I've been in science my whole life without any other experience . However , the day I was going to QUIT my current business and walk away from 25 years of work because of anxiety and discouragement , I stumbled onto Christian's YouTube link . Now , I'm doing my day job , and I added Publishing.com because I'm excited and scared about this opportunity and business . Building something new with y'all . *breathe in , breathe out* This is GREAT !

Publishing.com is one of the best things I've done for myself since I retired. I found a way to make an income by investing in myself. I am learning to successfully publish my own books. I work at my own pace; I set my own schedule and answer to no one but myself. This is a great experience. I am focused, I work hard and am having a blast!

I appreciated the 7-Day-Profit-Challenge (7DPC) where I was shown, step-by-step, at no additional costs, how to publish a book for profit. This is the essence of the program. It took me 8 days, but I finished it myself, 55 pages written, images, cover, proofreading and editing and uploaded it to Amazon. The Mikkelson Twins buy your first copy and send it to you. I love seeing everyone's posts on FB with their book. This publishing program focuses on teaching you how to run your independent publishing business by writing non-fiction, self-help, 30K word books from start to finish.

FYI...I am 5 months into this program and that little 7DPC book is generating royalties (average $14) every month, with no ads or additional expenses. For me this is proof of the profit potential of the Publishing.com / AIA Academy program. You bet I am excited to get my first 30K word book published.

The program is self-directed study via a learning system of modules which include videos, downloads and action steps. There is a chatbot to ask questions of staff anytime. Your fellow students in the FB group is a great source for answers as well.

I chose to upgrade to the Accelerator Program with one-on-one coaching. I have Yasmin Akhtar, as publisher as well, who is nothing short of brilliant. She listens to me; she understands my publishing goals and expectations for this program. I am grateful for her wisdom and patience. She has office hours twice a week where all of her students, including myself, get together and share our progress. Accelerator offers live workshops on specific topics, there is access to all the past workshop video archives, there are bonus modules for (cookbooks, low content books, coloring books, building a coaching program, upscaling your brand and so much more). And best of all is the live zoom call, every 2 weeks, with the owners of the program, the Mikkelson Twins, talking all things publishing, answering questions and sharing.

The Twins are wildly successful with a system they learned from and are perfecting more and more. It is refreshing to have leaders that willingly share their knowledge and expertise. It is clear they want you to succeed. The independent publishing business is laid out step-by-step. The support is of the highest quality. I highly recommend investing in the Accelerator Upgrade if you want to speed up the learning curve and get all the extras. It's an additional investment yes. It's an investment in yourself.

I found just what I was looking for in Publishing.com and it's worth it!

I highly recommend Publishing.com! The program guides you step by step through every stage of the publishing journey—from research and content creation to publishing and marketing your book. The instructors and support team are outstanding, and the lessons and resources are exceptionally thorough.

Publishing.com provides all the support you need to navigate the process with confidence. In addition to comprehensive, on-demand course materials, there are live Zoom calls where you can ask questions, connect with instructors, and learn from fellow students.

I’m just two months into the program and have already gained a tremendous amount of knowledge about publishing on Amazon and other platforms. I’ve especially enjoyed exploring AI and creative tools, and I recently published my first short book—which brought immediate rewards! I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the Accelerator program, where the support has been phenomenal.

With a strong background in education, multiple advanced degrees, years of experience working with publishers, and a track record as a best-selling creator of children’s educational software, I can confidently say this is one of the best learning experiences I’ve ever had. Thank you, Publishing.com!

This entire process has been so inspiring! I love learning new things and writing, publishing and marketing my book is beyond anything I expected. I published my 7DPC in Aug 2024, after losing my beloved dog Ghibli. Writing it helped me process my grief, and inspired me at the same time. My 30K was published in Jan! ACX in Feb and I’m now translating to Spanish!

My second 30k will publish in April! I’m so thankful for this program and the twins, and the wonderful AIA community.

I’m building my publishing empire one book at a time. 📚

I had a lapse with progress towards publishing.. during the last year. When I saw that you were taking "support" phone calls, I jumped in only find that no time slots were open.
Then onto the scene jumps Nasser and we conversed and he showed me how and where to pick up where I had left off over a year ago.
Nasser was a Godsend for me.

I'm working on publishing my first book and expect to do so within the next 30 days. So far, my experience with Publisher Accelerator has been spectacular! The training modules are great and straightforward to understand and follow. I've had a few coaches during this process, and the level of quality and engagement from each coach has been instrumental in keeping me informed, focused, and confident throughout each phase. I particularly love the office hours as I get to interact regularly not only with my coach but also with other self-publishers in a more intimate setting. A huge thanks to the team!

High Hopes, Good People, But Too Many Hidden Costs

The Publishing.com / AI program is, in many ways, very well put together. Most of the coaches and staff are incredibly kind, responsive, and genuinely helpful. I believe this company has hired some very high-quality people who care about their students and are excellent at their jobs.

When I first started, I was excited. I enjoyed the modules, I enjoyed doing the work, and I felt optimistic. I still believe that if someone has the financial resources to invest, it’s possible to succeed. But that’s the part I wish I had known up front: how much more money you’ll need beyond the cost of the program itself.

I was under the impression that the Platinum program would give us what we needed to publish a book and start earning income. But it doesn’t cover many essential parts of the process. You’ll need to pay for:
• Cover design
• Book formatting
• Editing
• Cover formatting
• Facebook review ads
• Amazon ads (which are very expensive)
• And you’ll absolutely need reviews—or your book will be invisible
These are just a few expenses.. there are more!

Getting reviews is not easy, especially if you don’t use social media or have a large following. You need to ask hundreds of people to review your book and only a handful will come through. And Amazon ads are complicated and expensive to manage well. You’ll need spreadsheets, data tracking, and a lot of follow-up. This is not passive income—maybe someday, after you’ve spent hundreds or thousands on advertising and reviews.

The Mikkelsen twins are clearly very smart and successful. I believe they have good intentions, and I admire what they’ve built. But the sales process and lack of full disclosure are disappointing. If they had just said, “Look, you’ll need to invest at least this much more to really launch a book,” it would have saved so much heartbreak.

They don’t tell you that. And I believe that’s intentional, because full disclosure might cost them sales. I understand that businesses need to sell, but this crosses a line. We were told that the program included everything we’d need to succeed. It doesn’t. And the reality is: most students never publish a book, and many don’t get past Module 4. I now understand why—people get discouraged when they realize the financial burden ahead.

We worked hard and made it to the review stage, but because of illness and delays, we missed the critical window to get reviews in time. That impacted our ability to run Amazon ads, and now the ads we can afford won’t perform without reviews.

If I had known about the true costs of publishing and marketing a book, I never would have signed up. I still wish I could continue, but the truth is, I don’t have the money needed to keep going. I’m not a young pup like the Mikkelsen twins—I’m doing the best I can, and I trusted that what was sold to me was more complete than it turned out to be.

This program has potential. But please, if you’re considering it, ask them to tell you exactly what’s not included and what additional expenses to expect. If they can’t answer that clearly, be careful.

Being part of Publishing.com has genuinely transformed the way I approach self-publishing. What sets this program apart is the well-structured curriculum, which walks you through each publishing process step—from market research and writing to launching and scaling. The video lessons are detailed and easy to follow, and the live workshops provide direct access to experts who generously share their insights and strategies.
I've especially appreciated the supportive coaching environment. You're never left alone to figure things out—coaches and fellow students are incredibly responsive and encouraging. I attended a session on optimizing Amazon Ads and was blown away by the depth of information I received in just one workshop. It gave me the confidence to apply changes that brought real results.
I can't recommend it enough if you're serious about building a self-publishing business. It's an investment that's already paid off for me in knowledge, confidence, and real-world outcomes.
