Book coaching and self-publishing service
A service business that helps aspiring authors write, edit, and self-publish their own books, often run by an author who had a bestseller of their own.
The idea, in plain language
A service business where an author helps aspiring writers write, edit and self-publish their own books, often positioned as coaching combined with publishing services. Revenue comes from fees paid by aspiring authors for coaching, editing and publishing assistance. Starting requires writing/editing skill plus the ability to market to aspiring authors, and the video provides no revenue figures. Customers are would-be authors who want a guided path to publishing.
