“Working with I Am Self-Publishing has been an educative and enjoyable experience. Ali work more as partners rather than suppliers. I was particularly impressed with their project management process and learned marketing advice. I would say they are an author’s best marketing ally.”
Named by Smith & Williamson on their 2017 Power 100 list for supporting the entrepreneurial community in the UK, Ali’s mission is always about helping authors and entrepreneurs (self-published authors ARE entrepreneurs) achieve their potential.
Ali gained a commercial perspective working for a global magazine publisher in sales and marketing before co-founding award-winning Acorn Independent Press and I_Am Self-Publishing with his sister, Leila. The brother and sister duo have spent the last 7 years working with authors through the rapidly evolving landscape of self-publishing. Although the market may have seen a lot of changes in that time, the fundamentals of what it takes to become a successful author are still the same. Tools and techniques come and go but the blueprint is still the same.

Being a publisher puts me in a unique position to see real world data from hundreds of book launches. We’ve published titles in all genres and know what it takes for a book to succeed, but at the same time, we also see authors make the same avoidable mistakes time and time again."

In this private Facebook group you can connect with other students for peer-to-peer feedback. I am a member of a number of Facebook groups myself for courses, software platforms, marketing societies and mentoring programs, which are incredibly beneficial. Writing and marketing a book can be quite a lonely journey at times. Taking those steps with others who are in the same boat as you, and being able to offer support and share experiences is incredibly motivating. This is why it is so important to me to provide you guys with a community.

I will be answering comments that you guys submit to me, plus I will do live critiques of specific marketing activities for those brave enough to volunteer. When I work one-on-one with an authors for consultations, I charge a minimum of $150 for an hour's session. The Friday Q&A sessions will be at least 15 minutes long (depending on the volume and variety of the questions), so if you tune in to every one of them that is the equivalent to $1,800 of my consultancy time per year. You can ask me any question relating to your book marketing!

How did T.R.A.C.K. come about?
Having guided lots of authors through the self-publishing process, I know that getting a good book on sale is only half the battle. It’s driving sales that really counts. I’ve worked with big brands with huge budgets, but individual authors don’t usually have those kind of resources. Although they still need the same sort of marketing help, if not more.
Marketing, advertising and PR agencies charge a lot of money and will generally only yield results for as long as you pay for them. I believe authors need a more affordable, longer-term strategy. I knew the solution was to educate authors about book marketing to give their book sales and careers as authors longevity.
Initially, I offered consultancy, sitting down with authors and building a marketing plan with them, but I found that demand was too high for me to be able to help every author. Plus, those plans could only be executed fully if authors also spent time filling their skills gaps. They needed more training than I could offer in an hour or two-hour session. I wanted to find a more time and cost effective way to help more authors sell more books, and I knew that giving authors the skills they need to do it themselves was the answer.
The seeds were planted in 2016, when I started offering marketing training workshops and webinars. These were received very enthusiastically, but there is a limit to how much you can teach in just one session. So I decided to build out a more comprehensive, A-Z training programme that would hand authors powerful skills to create every bulletproof book marketing plan they would ever need, for the rest of their author career.

"Becoming a self-published author is not that different from becoming an entrepreneur or a small business owner. First you follow your heart and do the thing you love (write that book), then you find you have to learn to do things that take you out of your comfort zone (like marketing and self-promotion) that are necessary if you are to make a success of the one thing you do love, your book. I was fortunate to have discovered I AM Self-Publishing and consider their services as worth every penny I paid for them."
