🔒 Self-Publishing Off the Amazon Path

Last month, I was thrilled to join Karolina Wudniak of Paperwing Studio in the Indie Book Lab! We talked about how I approached self-publishing without relying on Amazon — including the platforms I used, the (costly) mistakes I made, and how much money I’ve brought in from my book so far (revenue AND profit). I also answered lots of attendee questions: Why did you decide to avoid Amazon? & How much could you really?What size audience would you recommend having before going Amazon-less?Is it realistic to make sales without Amazon’s reach? How do you handle discoverability?What does fulfillment look like without a big platform?What about international sales?Is this only viable for nonfiction or niche audiences? What about debut authors?How much more work is it, realistically?And finally… why is your paperback actually on Amazon anyway?It was a great conversation, and I’m excited to share the recording — exclusively with paid subscribers in the Clubhouse :) Tune in here for a preview, and to hear the whole episode, join the Clubhouse at offthegrid.fun/clubhouse When you do, you'll get access to over 40 bonus episodes (and counting), curated tech + creative business newsletters, and more.

🔒 How Do I Stay Visible Without Social Media?

Today I’m bringing you something really special— A mini-coaching session and marketing conversation about how to stay visible without social media. It comes from a wonderful conversation I had with Jenni Gritters’ community last month, where someone asked me: "I just started a business and everyone I’ve talked to has said: ‘oh so you have to make an Instagram.’ My rebellious self is completely against it, but obviously it’s a very slow build without social media. Do you think it’s possible? How would you go about it?" I get this question a lot, and I wanted to speak to it here! So tune in to this episode preview to learn exactly how I’d grow this business without social media, including what I think comes before you ever begin working on visibility.

Literally the Only Marketing Podcast I Listen To

2025. 10. 28.

Miss Graham

I’m an artist, and you have to be careful with some marketing podcasts because the lessons don’t always apply to us—but this one does. The conversations are so relevant, and it’s refreshing to learn new ways to think and share that have nothing to do with social media.
Brilliant podcast

This podcast feels like home. I’ve been introduced to so many amazing voices through it and even though I haven’t abandoned sm totally, it gives me hope that I can happily do so someday soon. Thank you for your work Amelia!
Amelia’s podcast is so needed!

I was feeling exhausted by social media and Amelia showed up in my world like a godsend at the perfect time. I’ve been off social media for 2 years now and was able to navigate my exit smoothly thanks to Off the Grid and the Leaving Social Media toolkit she has put together. Thank you, Amelia ❤️
So refreshing!

As a business owner who is really into self-development, I love to listen to podcasts. But so many podcasts have the same methods for marketing. This is such a refreshing and new point of view when it comes to growing a business in the world of social media and influencers.
