Do you want to reach and impact more people with your ideas?

Would you like to generate new, consistent leads for your business?

Does the idea of being the premier thought leader in your niche or industry appeal to you?

If you answered yes to any of the above, you're in the right place.

In "Zero to Bestseller" I'm going to show you how to accomplish all of the above by leveraging the power of a bestselling book launch...

And no, you don't need a big name, or a ton of Twitter followers, or be traditionally published...

The strategy I outline in "Zero to Bestseller" is one that will allow you to:

1. Launch from scratch (as in, no audience, no connections, and a limited budget)

2. Rapidly grow an email list

3. Go from unknown to #1 in your niche or industry

And much more.

This is the exact same strategy I've used with dozens of clients and students (not to mention for my own books), and the results speak for themselves:

Here are just a few of the books I've helped market and launch, all of which leverage the underlying principles I teach in this course (did I mention some of these are New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestsellers?):

So the question is, are you ready to go from Zero to Bestseller?

If so, sign up at the top or bottom of this page, and I'll see you inside the course!

What students are saying about the course:

“This info is ridiculously good. Seriously.”

"Tom. Thank you for opening my eyes to a successful book launch. Thank you for a fabulous training course."
Sharon S.

"I recently dropped a lot of money on [a well known self-publishing course]. Between you and me, your free email course taught me at least as much as that paid course did. My main appreciation for your work is the integrity behind it. You're not interested in just pounding out a book and working the Amazon system to get passive income -- you're teaching people to produce actual, authentic, I'm-really-doing-my-best-work-for-you-dear-reader books that help people, and then leveraging that work toward Reach, Impact, or Revenue.”
