This has been overall a really great experience and that's why it's 4 out of 5. I tend not to give 5 out of 5s for much so 4 out of 5 is quite good from my perspective. What's been really great is the community. It's been the quality of the talks and ongoing information, there is always something new. The improvements and overall quality of tools and the degree and range of services that are on offer. There's an option to kind of do it alone, do it in a semi-supervised way, and to give a full service. There are plenty of good options. The experience of the people is really what makes this valuable. People are talking about their experience and of course they're doers. They have experience, they've stress-tested things, and they're continually learning. They take this repository of knowledge and are continually making improvements. I feel that I'm with an organization here that has experience, capability, and is continually refining things. One last comment, and it can be overlooked, is that when you start on something completely new, there's a massive learning curve. Having a group of people around you that encourage you and help you through what could be psychological barriers or glass ceilings that you've constructed really helps you get to where you like to be. It helps you change your internal thermostat as to what you could achieve.

I originally found this community through YouTube and decided to join the free group first. After seeing the value and the level of knowledge being shared, I chose to invest in the paid course and later hired their team to help produce my first book. Overall, this is a knowledgeable and supportive team. When you have questions, they respond honestly and clearly, and it is evident they know the publishing space well and have built real assets themselves. That said, there are areas for improvement. Customer service during the book production process could be stronger. Also, some of the messaging around building a “$100,000 business with a single book” feels unrealistic. Publishing does work, but it requires a portfolio, time, ads, investment, and a steep learning curve. This is not passive or overnight success. If you approach it as a long-term, hands-on business, the program can be valuable.

Before joining PublishingOS I wasnt able to gain any traction with my books, I was picking the wrong niches and didnt know how to scale. PublishingOS breaks the process down into categories and provides validated and verified methods of picking the right keywords and niches, how to create the book and how to have a successful launch. They have developed the AI aspect which really reduces time to launch by weeks and the guys genuinely do put a lot of effort into the community.
