The Long Game.
I first got into publishing with coloring books. I bought into the hype of making a coloring book, uploading it to KDP, and getting instant sales. That's what they kept saying on YouTube. I believed it was that easy. The reality is, at least for me, without the professional guidance of Sean and his team, you're just spinning your wheels.
The step-by-step approach, watching over the shoulder as Sean actually does it, and then the one-on-one calls all add up to a successful approach to creating, marketing, and enjoying the whole process of publication.
This is not another get-rich scheme; this is the real deal for individuals who are willing to invest the time and effort to learn a new career, work diligently to develop it, and then see it flourish. This program is an investment in yourself and your future.

This is a 5 star product if I ever saw…
This is a 5 star product if I ever saw one. You're not just buying an online course and that's that. The team behind Royalty Hero put in great effort to keep it updated. That, together with the quality of the content is worth 5 stars but ontop of that theres weekly group Q and A's with the coaches, free of charge, and admission to the RH closed FB group where you'll be part of a friendly and supportive community

I could not be happier with this program!
I’ve been a student for almost 8 months now, and I’ve had an excellent experience. I think what’s important for people to remember is that you are purchasing an education. Just like you would pay for college - what you put in is what you get out. Take your classes, learn your trade, and then build your business. But unlike college, Sean goes above and beyond to continue educating you even AFTER you’ve already done all your courses. Depending on the course you purchase, there are weekly ongoing Q&A calls with the coaches at no additional cost, continuous updates to the course with new information, and an entire Facebook group of people who love to cheer you on and help answer your questions. The value just keeps on coming! I haven’t been able to find a better program than this one, and even my 15-year-old son has started writing books.

Save your money - AVOID this course!
I'd like to help someone save their money and avoid this course. First of all, the free 7-day challenge he does is AMAZING, but the $1997 course is far from that.
Amazon KDP can definitely work IF you have a huge budget to spend on ads. (On top of the initial cost of the course, you should have at least another $3,000 for book production, editing, illustrations/cover, book review sites, advertising, etc.) So, already at $5,000. BUT I think it's in module 3 when he starts pushing the 'Elite' program...which is only another $5,000 or so. ("If you are really serious...", "if you really want to turn a profit...", "If you've got specific questions...") So, now you're up to well over $10,000. There's now another tier being offered...god knows how much he's charging for that.
The advice they give everyone is exactly the same. I compared the info I got on my coaching call with a few other people in the course, many of whom were also unhappy with the course. If you don't have a big budget "Make a colouring book", if you get the coach that specialises in medium content books "Make a wordsearch", otherwise you're strongly encouraged to go down the high content route and everyone is churning out cookie cutter crap books on 'decluttering / communication skills / how to stop overthinking / stoicism /etc.'
I don't know how much he is making from actually selling books, but I joined in Nov/Dec 2024 and there were over 100 people who joined the FB group at that time, many of them went onto join the elite program because he threatened that the price was going up. You do the math...about half a million.
Does he know what he's doing? - yes, undoubtedly. But, it's all about buying reviews, setting up lots of different accounts under different names so Amazon doesn't catch you, and spending a fortune in advertising to get a good BSR and maybe after 4-6mths you'll start breaking even and might start making a profit.
He does not share any new information in the course. The youtube videos available to the public are actually far better than the course itself.
Save your money and stay away from this course.
Please note: I was given a full refund when I pointed out issues with the structure of the course from an instructional design point of view, and when I expressed my utter dissatisfaction with the coach I had unfortunately been assigned to. In addition, the Facebook group is heavily policed with any comment not singing Sean's praises being immediately deleted.
Response from Royalty HeroJun 29, 2025
I'm extremely disappointed in this review, because not only did we gave her a FULL REFUND when she requested (as she states in her review), we allowed her to keep FULL ACCESS to our programs and facebook group which she used for months after the refund. She even used a coaching call AFTER the refund, which I paid the coaches out of my own pocket.
We genuinely tried to give her a great experience, and that's why we let her keep the program, which we NEVER do normally.
However, we noticed that she continued to spread fear and misinformation within the Facebook group to where we had to step in and remove her access.
Out of all the students we dealt with, she was the only one who ever got FULL ACCESS on top of a FULL REFUND and yet she still left a one star review which again, I'm extremely disappointed Anisa.
The reason for removing her access was because she continued to spread misinformation in the group, which discouraged other members who were genuinely trying to make it happen with KDP.
To clarify all the points she mentioned:
1. "Amazon KDP can definitely work IF you have a huge budget to spend on ads"
- That is not the ONLY way to succeed in ads. We literally have an entire bonus course on low and medium content books, a coach that specializes in DIY style books, and tons of students who succeeded with those low budget publishing strategies. We always offer multiple publishing options depending on their budget.
2. "I think it's in module 3 when he starts pushing the 'Elite' program"
- In the entire course I literally mention the Elite program once, in Module 2, as an optional upgrade. I specifically say it's "optional" in the lesson so people don't feel pressured to join. And we created the Elite program in the first place because people asked for more coaching calls.
3. "everyone is churning out cookie cutter crap books on 'decluttering / communication skills / how to stop overthinking / stoicism"
- While some students may be in those niches, it's definitely not "everyone" and it's definitely not "cookie cutter". That's the whole point of offering coaching calls so we can review your books and make sure it's not "cookie cutter" so it has the highest chance to stand out and succeed in the market place.
4. "many of them went onto join the elite program because he threatened that the price was going up."
- We didn't "threatened" anything. We said we would raise the price incase anyone wants to join before that, and we DID raise the price. It wasn't a fake scarcity tactic.
5. "it's all about buying reviews, setting up lots of different accounts under different names so Amazon doesn't catch you, and spending a fortune in advertising to get a good BSR"
- This is not what we teach at all. We don't teach to "Set up different accounts so Amazon doesn't catch you". We teach to build a brand and focus on one niche. "Spending a fortune on advertising". You should spend some on ads, but you should be recouping your investment on the way not just spending and losing money for no reason.
6. "He does not share any new information in the course."
- It's unfortunate that she is not in the program anymore to see all the new lessons that will be added soon, such as an entirely new module on TikTok marketing coming in a week, and tons of other lessons coming up over the next few months.
7. "Facebook group is heavily policed with any comment not singing Sean's praises being immediately deleted."
- No, you can talk bad about me all you want. Just don't spread misinformation that may discourage people who are genuinely trying to make it work with KDP.
Again we really try to be fair. We don't make people jump through hoops if they want a refund, we even try to go above and beyond to make sure they end with a great experience, and despite that, Anisa decided to leave a 1 star review.
I really hope you find what you're looking for Anisa, whatever that is. I wish you the best of luck.

Royalty Hero has been a game changer!
Royalty Hero has been a game changer. I was new to publishing and knew nothing about it, and this course takes you step by step through the entire process and teaches you everything you need to know to be a successful publisher. You get one-on-one coaching and access to a private Facebook group of like-minded people who also are and want to be successful publishers, and the support has been so great. I highly recommend it if you truly want to be successful in this business.

Royally Late
I had an appointment with someone from their team for an online meeting. Stupid of me to delete it, I would have put his name up here. Anyway, I waited in Google for almost twenty minutes, no one showed. Later that day, I received an email from that person, told me that I should be more mindful of other people's time. Good thing I took a screenshot of me all alone in that Google Meet. I replied, told him that THEY should be respectful of other people's time & take their business seriously. SCAMMERS! And if they're not, they're not serious about their career/reputation. I know it was earlier this year, but not sure exactly when. Don't waste your time buying into his nonsense and paying thousands for something you can figure out yourself with the help of AI.
IMPORTANT: As stated before, I deleted the email. I have no way to find out what the douchebag I spoke with his name is nor the day of said interview. All I know is that it was earlier this year.
Response from Royalty HeroJun 21, 2025
Hey we’re sorry this happened but we don’t use google meet, we use Zoom. The email you received is an automated email we send out when the call is booked because we've had a lot of people who book calls but don't show up. It says the following:
"This is a discovery session to see if the Royalty Hero program is the right fit for you.
Please respect our time and others' time by only booking an appointment you can attend. If you cannot make it, let us know or cancel the meeting in advance.
Thank you and talk soon."
Our records show that our coach was waiting for you on the call, but due to the confusion, you didn’t show up to the Zoom.
I get that tech can get confusing sometimes, but it’s unfortunate that it lead you to leave a one star review

Created a book with my own hands for the first time in my life.
Thanks, Sean. Thanks to you, I was able to create a book with my own hands for the first time in my life. Who would have thought that I'd be able to utilize Amazon KDP, which I had only heard about! Finishing the book content went really smoothly just like you showed me, and I was able to wrap it up in just three days. I had fun designing the cover in Canva too. The real challenge came with editing and uploading. The editing process using Reedsy turned out to be quite complicated, and uploading the manuscript and cover to KDP has been so difficult that I eventually had to ask a professional on Fiverr to complete it. Apart from that, everything went smoothly just as you explained. Although it's a very small book, it's my first book that I completed on my own (of course, with your help and the editing expert's help from Fiverr). I was planning to order the book right away and post a photo, but I had to go on an overseas trip, so I couldn't receive the book. I finally received my book a few days ago. I'll post a photo of the paperback. Thanks again for the practical guidance! Thank you so much!

Royalty Hero Delivers!
After watching countless YouTube videos from Sean on publishing with Amazon KDP, I became thoroughly convinced that publishing was the right path for me. I decided to invest in myself and enrolled in the Royalty Hero program, and I'm so glad I did. This course is exceptional! The step-by-step guidance is clear, actionable, and designed for results. The private Facebook community is also a tremendous bonus; supportive, knowledgeable, and incredibly motivating. Every question I've had has been met with quick, practical answers that align perfectly with the course content. If you're ready to take publishing seriously, this program delivers. I wholeheartedly recommend it!
