Publish with Purpose: Self-Publish Your Journal on Amazon in 60 Days or Less

Before Publish with Purpose, I wasn't sure where to start. The process of publishing felt complicated and daunting. Thankfully Publish with Purpose broke it down so that each step was clear and actionable. Publish with Purpose also gave me accountability, having someone to check in with throughout the process helped me stay committed and focused on my goal.

The level of support and accountability in Publish with Purpose cannot be overstated. It was so encouraging to have Sarah and the other members to ask questions and get inspiration from. It kept me accountable throughout the process

By going through Publish with Purpose, I was able to publish the Create Your Confidence Guided Journal: A Psychology-Backed Guide to Overcoming Insecurities and Learning to Love Your Body. But in addition to my published guided journal, I also gained a lot of confidence within myself through this process and I now have the knowledge and resources to publish even more journals in the future.

If you're considering self-publishing, you should absolutely give it a try. Creating something totally your own and later seeing people connect with what you created is such an amazing feeling. You'll have so much fun creating your journal and it won't feel intimidating at all once you get started. Give it a try, you don't have anything to lose and so much to gain.

Publish with Purpose went far beyond my expectations. I feel like I now have this resource that I can use for years to come. Well worth the investment in the long term.

Thank you for all your help, Sarah! I can tell you put a ton of work into this course and it really shows. I could not have done this without you. I can't wait to publish another journal!

-Laura Maloney, Author of Create Your Confidence Guided Journal

I help you organize your brain and business so you can turn your ideas into journals and so much more!

I believe that mindfulness is the key to living a life full of intention, self-awareness, and growth that allows us to take action from a place of ease rather than constant hustle.

In the first year of self-publishing I sold 475 copies of my journals and planners resulting in over $4700 in sales. And while the money is nice, it was always about something bigger.

Creating the Mindful Productivity Planner & The Daily Productiivty & Brain Dump Book has allowed me to help people live more mindfullly productive lives, which is my biggest mission in life.

If you decide to join me inside Publish with Purpose, I'll help you to do the same thing, bring your ideas to the hands and minds of the people who need them!

Creating my own planner was something that I had wanted to do for a while but I just really didn't have the time to try to figure everything out all by myself.

My biggest concern was whether my journal idea was any good and if anyone would be interested in it. The course helped me to get over those concerns and press forward. It was one of those things that I put on the back burner and told myself I'd try to do it "someday."

If you've ever wanted to create your own planner or journal, you will want to take this course.

It covers all aspects of the self-publishing process, from how to fine-tune your journal idea, choosing a size for your journal, how to format and design your journal, and how to publish and market your journal.

The content in the modules alone was amazing!

The accountability and support from Sarah and the other course members were invaluable to me in pushing me to keep working on my planner pages and hold me to my publishing schedule.

On top of that, Sarah went way above and beyond to help me fix a technical issue that I was stuck on.

Hands down one of the best courses I've taken!

I was able to create and publish my planner on Amazon in less than 60 days.

I was able to take an idea that had been in my head for some time and turn it into a tangible, physical planner that I created.

What a feeling!

I can already hear you saying these things, because I did the same thing...

What if NO one buys this?!

What if I make a mistake or someone finds a spelling error?

What if I get a 1 star review on Amazon?

What if people DO buy it and THEN they hate it?

The bigger question is, What if you DON'T do this?

What if NO one ever gets to experience your ideas and your process?

What if NO one ever gets to feel the same excitement you have for the pages you've created?

What if you don't even give yourself the CHANCE to SEE what will unfold if you do this?! Aren't you curious!?

Plus, as my students have discovered, any hiccups along the way are easily solved and tend to be "no big deal" once we tackle them together.

You're in good company and if you decide to join us inside Publish with Purpose, you'll look back amazed at how much you've accomplished as you hold a physical journal YOU created!

I went into Publish with Purpose with the idea to create a 2020 year planner. Throughout the course my idea changed into something better... The Positivity Planner. Because of Publish with Purpose, I created a planner more valuable and more unique than I had originally planned.

The most helpful part of Publish with Purpose is having Sarah as our coach, she is truly amazing and the best coach I've ever had.

We all shared our ideas and supported each others journey. And of course, we had Sarah to answer any questions we might have.

It was incredibly motivating to know that you're all working on your planner together, and to have these weekly calls to ask questions, share your work, get feedback and hear how everyone is getting on.

Sign up! It's honestly so much fun. PWP made the entire process of self-publishing seem effortless. Sarah has so much useful information within her course and she's always available if you need help.

-Laura Beeson, Author of The Positivity Planner

I was able to recreate old journal pages in a fresh, sleek, eye-catching way thanks to the tutorials in the course. Using Canva is an absolute game changer, and I learned so much about how to use it thanks to PWP.

I now have way more confidence when it finally comes to launching a project I've been trying to launch for four years. It's now polished and professional-looking because of what I learned in this course.

If you're even semi considering self-publishing a journal or planner, take Sarah's course! Seriously, even as someone who's gone through the whole process several times on my own, I learned SO MUCH. It was invaluable. I'd hands-down make the decision to take this course again in a heartbeat, so you won't regret it.

-Michelle Kampmeier, Author of Discover Yourself - Morning Routine Journal

I always knew that I wanted to create a planner but I had no idea how to do it, I always thought that it would be so time-consuming and I thought that I would join Publish with Purpose later when I had more time to work toward it because I work a 9 to 5. But this course made it so easy! Before joining I had no idea what I was going to create, I just knew that I was going to create some sort of planner. This course helped me from brainstorming to actually launching this planner in just 2 months and it as unbelievable!

⭐️ Is this only available in the US?

Not at all! The KDP platform allows you to ship worldwide and you can publish your own journal from most countries. When you self-publish through KDP, your journal is eligible for global distribution, meaning it will appear on Amazon sites in Japan, Italy, France, UK, Canada, etc. Students inside Publish with Purpose have published their journals from Canada, London, the UK, and Indonesia!

And as of late 2019, KDP now ships proofs and author copies to Australia!

Please note that I do host all of the video tutorials in the course platform through Vimeo so you will want to ensure that Vimeo is not blocked in your country.

⭐️ I have a basic journal idea but might need help fine-tuning it. Will this course help me with that?

YES! In fact, Inside Module 1 I walk you through a 50-minute Journal Idea Generation training and it will blow your mind. Students have told me that they started with one semi-focused idea and left the training with over 15 ideas for journals and planners!

⭐️ How long is this program & when does it start?

Our next LIVE round starts September 28th and runs through November 16th with Weekly Q&A Support Calls. All materials are available to you instantly once you enroll so you can get started as soon as you'd like. The Framework and self-paced course materials will guide you through the process to successfully create, format, and self-publish your journal in 60 days or less. Your enrollment gives you lifetime access to the entire program and future live rounds, meaning you can join us for live calls again and again in the future each round as part of your enrollment!

⭐️ How do I ensure that my journal gets seen? Will you touch on marketing/promotion?

Absolutely! A huge component of being successful with your journal is making sure people KNOW it exists. We'll be talking about keyword research, what to put in your description on Amazon, and ways to use content marketing to get people excited about your journal! The cool thing about KDP is that it automatically lists your journal on Amazon for FREE - no seller's fees. And since Amazon is often used as a search engine with millions of daily active users, your journal can start appearing in search results.

⭐️ How much does it cost to use KDP and self-publish my journal?

KDP is free to use and when you publish through them, your journal is listed for free right on Amazon! No sellers fees like Amazon Seller accounts require. In PWP we'll be using Canva & Apple Keynote which are both free to use (keep in mind that advanced features in Canva require a pro account but a 14-day trial is available. Apple Keynote is free on Mac computers and in iCloud). Apart from any design elements, you may wish to purchase and proof copies you order before publishing to Amazon, your overhead to create your journal will be next to nothing! I personally spent $50 to launch the Mindful Productivity Planner and most students spent about the same creating their journals.

⭐️ Can I create hardback or spiral-bound journals with KDP?

Kindle Direct Publishing allows you to create paperback books in a variety of sizes (standard print sizes and even custom ones!) and choose between a glossy or matte cover finish. You can also decide on a black and white or color interior (although color will result in higher printing costs). Spiral Bound and hardback are not available at this time but the journals are high quality with bright white paper that works great for planners, workbooks, and anything you might want to create!
