"My call with Joe was when I began to realize there are other entrepreneurs in the indie publishing industry like me. Other people knew my problems, how to help me help myself, and that I wasn't alone. To sum up? My call with Joe was when I began to change everything for the better."

I called Joe to ask a question, and as I was explaining my author and freelance business to him, he zeroed in on one thing I could do now in a part of my business that I had not even planned on talking about. He gave me simple ways to save a few thousand dollars in taxes. That’s a pretty big save from a free call. And after that, we still had enough time to talk about my original questions. Thanks Joe!

"I'm early in my writing career and a conversation with Joe helped put the business-aspect of self-publishing in perspective. We had a casual, yet powerful, conversation on release frequency (just be consistent) and ads (hard to justify with a small backlist) related to my specific genre. Even in a smaller genre, Christian Fiction Suspense, Joe encouraged me that there are many successful authors. I plan to have more calls with Joe as I build my backlist and newsletter."

With over 40 books across multiple non-fiction subjects, I booked my call with Joe to gain insight on the best path forward for my next level of growth. Before the call, I had already compiled a list of all my books in order of sales from the previous year. From that, I could see that 80% of my royalties were coming from 20% of my books. On the call, I summarized my data and Joe encouraged me to focus primarily on my top-selling series.  I am actively working on implementing his suggestions which will not only increase sales but also address my concern about “almost all eggs in one (Amazon) basket”. By gaining Joe’s clear insight and utilizing his expansive author business knowledge, I expect this to be my best year ever.

I didn't know quite what to expect from my scheduled call with Joe Solari, but I had a number of questions about my planned business model and I thought, why not get the opinion of an expert?

In particular, I had questions about business taxes and the best timing for taking my business to the next level, that is, actually setting up the legal entity. Joe was very helpful in clarifying the issues that I might face, and provided solid advice on the best way to move forward. 

By the end of the call I felt I had a viable business model, ready to take the next steps to put it into practice. He made it easy to express my concerns, and was able to give me concise, informed opinions on both the general business plan and which steps to take next. What a relief! Thanks Joe!

Joe has critical insights for indies about branding and selling in a competitive market. Before reading his book and speaking with him in person, I was unclear about how to find my readers — and so I was paralyzed with so many options.

After interacting with Joe, I had a paradigm shift, and I’ve since reevaluated my entire strategy going forward. In just one hour-long call, I discovered what mega-successful writers — like Brandon Sanderson — are doing differently in their marketing, and I also experienced an “aha” moment regarding advantages small indies like myself have over major publishers. I’m still in the initial stages of putting into motion the ideas I got from Joe, but I’m already feeling miles ahead of a majority of indies who are still spinning their wheels following common and — in my opinion — outdated strategies.

When life was in a dark place, Joe gave me simple steps to follow and encouragement and feedback to get me back on track. He's patient and giving, and beyond generous with his time. 

Joe's friendship and straightforward approach cuts through a lot of hype in the industry. He gets back to basics: writing books, managing cash flow and building a tribe of fans. Thanks, Joe, for helping me stay on track in this industry of  shiny new bright things!

Joe’s matter-of-fact but highly personalized advice has already shifted my thinking about my business and my marketing approach in far too many ways to catalog. All I can say to him is, “Keep bringing it, Joe! And thanks.”

As an indie author who focuses on visibility, I'm always looking for advice from mentors who are successful with wide and direct sales. My consultation with Joe helped bolster my confidence to create my direct store. It's now the fastest growing part of my author business, and the advice and direction Joe provided was instrumental. I highly recommend booking a session with him to pick his brain and chart the next steps on your author journey.

Hi Joe, 

Talking with you was so helpful and appreciated! I had hit a bit of a wall with my DIY approach to my small publishing company and needed someone with experience to talk things over. Not only did I leave the call with hugely renewed enthusiasm for my writing life and business, but actionable steps that will save me significant money. I often think back to our conversation and am so grateful for your time and generosity!

Thanks very much again,
