Multi-Retailer 650+ Member Publishing Platform Giveaway. A Fastlane Opportunity For Seriously Dedicated Self-Pubbers, Outsourcers, Or Badasses.
Are You Passionate About Self-Pubbing/Outsourcing?
Do You Want To Add Value Back To The E-Book Marketplace?
Is Helping Others Important To You?
Are You Willing To Do WHATEVER It Takes To Succeed?
If so, then holy shit have I got something for you!
You guys know I'm sitting on an online publishing community with over 650 members and gets 10 to 15 ebook submissions a week for free. It's not little either. This is a big website with like 70 to 100 pages.
It has around $3,000 invested in development + the theme, plugins ect. We've published around 100 books (probably over that by now) and users are still registering even though we're not marketing.
The site is set up so that you can easily create and sell e-courses or other services such as Ebook cover design, proofreading/editing, subscriptions etc. It's also set up so that anytime a book is published and earns a sale, you get 20%. The author gets 80%.
You even have the ability to let other people make their own at cost courses that you can set a commission on. It's kind of like Udemy, Smashwords, BookBaby & Facebook all rolled into one.
There's 7 live courses. 2 of them are set up as paid courses, the rest are free. This can be changed at any time, and it's pretty effortless. The blog also has posts and there's a whole page of self-publishing resources.
What I'm saying is, it's already set up to make money.
What Makes It Fastlane?
As Kevin O'Leary would say, it's all in the numbers.
So, let's take a look at the numbers.
If it grows to 10,000 members who submit just 1 book a month that earns just 2 borrows on just 1 retail platform at a rate of just $1.43, and you take a commission of 20%, then you earn $5,720/mo.
That's 10,000 people x 1 book x 2 borrows x $1.43 x .20% = $5,720
But it's gonna take a while to get to that point. So let's look at it from another angle using numbers that aren't so far off. If 1,000 members submit 3 books a month and earn 5 borrows on those books at $1.43, then you earn $4290 a month.
That's 1,000 people x 3 books x 5 borrows x $1.43 x .20% = $4,290.
Remember, this site already has over 650 members.
Also remember that these are the numbers for a single month. But with every book you publish, there's a compounding effect. Each month some of the old books earn sales & borrows. When you get into compounding, the numbers really grow.
The numbers look even brighter when you factor in the courses. The courses can sell all on their own, but they actually serve a double purpose. Not only do they earn money, but they also train your writers.
As your writers get better their books sell more copies. That means more money for you.
A Bird's Eye View So Far
Multi-Retail Sales Publishing Platform Community
Let's talk about that for a minute.
Nonovels is built on WordPress/BuddyPress, so users can easily update their profile's, communicate with each other, form groups, or even set up forums. All of these features extend into the theme itself, so all e-courses work with Buddypress, and can be instantly modified for course forums & groups.
I've started a small Facebook community that has probably 30 writers. This community can easily grow, and can help automate a lot of the repeat questions new users ask. The trick is it needs someone to nurture it.
Nonovels is also set up as a multi-retail sales publishing platform. By that I mean the sales system being developed is capable of loading user's sales from the following sites:
I Will Cover The Remaining $700.00 of Development On The Sales System.
Right now there's 2 ways to show user sales, but they're not very efficient. The first way is our leaderboards which are updated every Sunday. These show sales for all users but aren't very specific. It's just enough info to keep them happy for now.
The second way is the original sales system which isn't very good. It's being fully overhauled right now to fix all of the old problems, plus to add a ton of new features.
There's seriously a lot of cool shit going on here for the right person.
If It's So Awesome, Why...
Lol, as if I don't know you've been thinking it this whole time. The answer is simply this...I'm not passionate about e-books. I'm not passionate about publishing. I don't see myself doing this in 5 years.
But, I also don't want it to stagnate and die. I don't want it to go to waste. I spent the last year fine-tuning my skills, learning to write better, and building this site. Morning to night, I don't know how many hours went into it, but it's a shit ton. I didn't go at this half-assed. I gave it everything I had until the day I realized it wasn't my path.
The model is already proven. Here are some company's that have done it:
What Am I Getting Into?
Like I said from the start, this opportunity is only for truly passionate self-pubbers or outsourcers.
No matter what path you take in life, the road is never easy. You're still gonna have to do some hard work, and probably even invest some money to grow this the right way. But at least you'll skip 6-7 months of figuring out what works/doesn't because for the most part everything is in place.
Here Are The Biggest Challenges I Faced:
There's tons of things I'm probably forgetting right now. But that's part of any business. I've ironed out as many issues as possible, so right now, everything is simply on hold.
Don't Even Think About This Opportunity If You're Afraid Of Going All In. NO ACTION FAKERS!!!
I'm literally handing you a fastlane business that's already earning money. It doesn't get any easier than this. I don't know how the hand off'll go yet, and there's a few things we'll have to work out before you turn the key and drive, but for F*ck's sake it's free!
I'm leaving this offer open to any forum member.
Self-Pubbers & Outsourcers and those who already have a proven record of taking action get priority.

Lol, my index finger hovers over the mouse button. I'm almost sweating in anticipation. I feel fear. So many unknowns. 8 or 9 months of 15 to 18 hour days. Doubts. What if I'm letting millions go?
But you know what... This is gonna help someone, and I'm gonna make it anyway. Let's do it!

Here Are The Biggest Challenges I Faced:
- Publishing a lot of books takes time. This process needs to be further automated, or outsourced.
- There's no easy way to run promos yet. This may or may not be important to you.
- The Facebook Group needs interaction to grow.
- WooCommerce & the Theme sometimes have issues or require updates. I learned how to work with the code. You can do this too, or just hire a developer to help.
- Sending payments through PayPal is a bit challenging since it has to be done one at a time. (for now)
- Writing new courses takes a lot of time. This part may need outsourced.
- Needs a copywriting overhaul. I wrote everything on there before I learned anything about copywriting...
- Cost of domain name transfer to your server
- Cost of site-hosting if you don't already have it
- Any other costs related to operating a website or a business.
NOTE: You are not paying anything to me. - I will cover the $700 of the sales system.
- I will not cover any other cost of any kind.
There's tons of things I'm probably forgetting right now. But that's part of any business. I've ironed out as many issues as possible, so right now, everything is simply on hold.
