🧠 About Us
At selfpublishing.com, we help purpose-driven people turn their ideas into published books—and those books into life-changing impact. Through online education, coaching, and done-for-you services, we empower aspiring authors to get their stories out into the world.

Our mission? Help 100,000 people publish a book by 2035, impacting 120M+ lives through "Leveraged Impact.” (Check out our TEDx talk here).

We’ve been featured on the INC 5000 list four times—and we’re just getting started.
🔥 The Role: Sales Development Representative

We’ve got an incredible product and more inbound leads than we can handle—400+ every single day. That’s where you come in.

As an SDR, you’ll be the first point of contact for aspiring authors who’ve opted into our resources. Your job? Learn their story, understand their goals, and set up meaningful consults with our Publishing Strategists to guide them forward.

In addition to your day-to-day outreach, you’ll also represent selfpublishing.com at live events—traveling to 2–4 events per month to connect with attendees, share our mission from stage, and introduce new aspiring authors to our programs.

If you love speaking to large audiences, enjoy traveling, and get energized by being the face of a powerful brand—this role is for you.

(Brownie points if you’ve spoken at live events before!)

This is a high-impact, high-growth role where your hustle = real results.
