Just Say “Skip Ad”
I did the webinar and signed up. I wish I could say I got a refund after realizing it was complete [censored] but …. I’m clearly an [censored]. After 6 (ish) months I had spent well over the course cost of 9k+ on Amazon lists, platforms, and various purchases directly through Publishing Life.
The products purchased through Publishing Life were of good quality. It wasn’t until I had them write an outline specifically stating that this book would be about my personal experience. When I got the outline back, it had a description of the writer (suppose to be me) as someone much different and flat out lying. Then it hit me - they are teaching all of us how to scam everyone else. How to “become the expert” and “10x” our businesses with just a few more dollars to expedite the process. To start our own FB pages as the “expert” by poaching from similar pages and then having a gaggle of followers to push your books. To this day I question every book on Amazon.
I have 3 audio books, one full length “How To” and a ton of debt. Just do yourself a favor and skip their ad and research on YouTube for free.
Don't do it, it's a mix of simple common sense and nauseating marketing deception. deception
2. All there "contacts" are the top of any Google search
3. You are on the hook for returns
4. These two [censored]s are laughing at you by pointing out [censored] you can find in a Google search.
5. They are using the same old same old with bs "reviews" which they are basically telling you that they trade reviews.
6. It's just a scummy business. Low quality regergitated bull[censored] to poor sucker who is just. trying to improve there lives. It's sad.
7. Anyone telling you to risk your credit on some fly by night idea clearly doesn't have respect or basic human empathy. What if your books all tank? What if the keto diet or whatever gimmick book you right goes out with the tide like the Athens diet? Then what. You wouldn't have money to buy another book manuscript and your left holding your dick with no options and a huge debt.
IF ANYTHING: Just write it yourself and possibly invest in the voice over/cover art if you don't think your voice is suitable and you can't do a cover (there's free templates everywhere so I can't see why you wouldn't)
If you can't write it yourself, even with an editor or something your just in the wrong business. Don't let twits like this destroy literacy like radio and the internet got wrecked. Soon there will be ads in books if you let dicks like these guys have anything to do with it.
There super special deal "ghost writers" are people in India working pennies on the dollar. It's sweat shop in prices. It's just [censored]ing [censored]ty.
[censored] THESE GUYS
It's scummy for them to do this and it's scummy to blindly pump garbage into types of education and self help.
If anything the fiction books are more ethical.
Anyways I'll get off my soap box.
Oh, Hopefully buddy's brother recovers after he donates a liver to his son (thanks to the income from this scam)
I don't know if if you guys caught that by it by yeah he actually said that
Scam written all over
Also I’d like to add Amazon FBA isn’t bad like they said, i do it myself and it gives good income with hard work.

“I’ve not touched my Audible account for about 6 months and it just keeps giving. This program works! And man does it feel liberating to have your life paid for on autopilot. I hope this helps encourage someone. Thank you AIA!”
Or Sarah who finally quit her job after making $10,000 in passive income from her audiobooks. She said…
“Handing in the resignation letter was the most amazing and freeing feeling ever! #10KClub”

Best,

******Please note that the basic cost of the course is $497 and all the additional amounts are geared to increase the sense of urgency
Final conclusion:
Sounds good but facts are not verified.
There is no attempt to explain the additional costs that will be incurred to get the book listed and starting to earn royalty income to you.
They could give examples from others that they use by reporting their income and also report a detailed accounting of their costs.
The twins do not provide contact information such as a customer service number and a physical location.
They additionally do not provide the information on the legal entity that is being used.
Final Conclusion: TOO MANY RED FLAGS!
I have experience selling Amazon FBA
The business model and video ad are almost identical. I can’t offer my personal advice on AIA because I didn’t purchase the course. (Though from what they say in the video ad, it is tempting) But I’m going to tell you about what I experienced from the very similar ad for FBA.
Can you make money? Yes. But Amazon, and paying for “all the work to be done for you” gets old and adds up. I sold yoga towels on Amazon just as the market was becoming saturated. I basically would break even every month… but the amount to get started was a lot. Inventory was around $4000, importing another $2000 plus other various costs. By the time it was time to order more inventory I would be almost out of stock. Turn around time was about 3 months… so by the time I made enough to order more units, I’d be almost sold out. This was a huge problem for everyone. Most people didn’t have $12,000 to invest upfront every few months to up scale their business.
So, among many other issues… the business isn’t necessarily a “scam”… you do receive some knowledge about a new business model. But is it realistic for everyone & will everyone have perfect luck? No. You may find yourself in a not so great situation.

Type of a scam Publishing
Initial means of contact Not applicable
Pressure before paying
First, watching that advertising on YouTube, everything looks easy, fast. Then I watched almost 1 hour of explanations, even easier, faster and then it comes the pressure to pay. They say there are only a few places, like that webinar was live (it is not). And then I paid. And everything becomes more real, they start to say that it's possible, but not easy, neither fast. That we have to put a lot of effort on it. And then I started to think (which I haven’t done before paying) and realizing that is totally against my principles. I have a job, that I love, but doesn't pay me much. I saw this as an opportunity to keep this job and have a financial freedom, an easy money where I don't have to spend a lot of time. Fake. It needs time, especially at the beginning. It needs effort (not easy as they say before we pay). And particularly, I would have to go against my principles.
Yes... I am totally against this superficial economy where everybody buys everything without the necessity. I was imaging myself paying someone to write a book for me, another one to make the cover and other to make the narrative and then myself selling on Amazon. And for all that I had to just choose a title, I probably wouldn't even read the book before selling. They probably don't do it either.
So, when I realized that, like 6 or 7 hours later, I asked for a refund, based on the Contract Policies. They answered me in the next day and made the refund 2 days later.
As I paid in euro and the euro was dropping, I received less money. Maybe I am wrong, but in my opinion, that's not right. They should guarantee I would receive the same amount in my own currency, as there is nothing being said differently in the contract.
Anyway, that’s not the point. I just wanted to ask everybody to think before paying and not believe in the pressure they put on before we pay. There are a lot of wrong things on their process and I hope I could help some people to make a decision.
NOT RATIONAL AT ALL
Also, if you are going to offer a course like this one (high-ticket), you should really take care to make a sales CALL mandatory or at least have the customer complete a questionnaire to see if they're a good fit or not.
I bet so many people are misled when it comes to this course and end up not doing anything with it because of the inital deception.
Not a good look, twins. I would look within and find more integrity.
Type of a scam Other
The scammer is making unsubstantiated income claims very blatantly on their Youtube channel and Website which can be found below.
Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG-mhrxX8teJvYb-kQ33D0Q
Website: https://www.audiobookincomeacademy.com/
Notice that there is also no business address or contact information on their website.
The scammer is engaging in deceptive advertises practices in order to lure customers from their Youtube Channel to their Website to purchase their course which sells for $997. It is basically a get-rich-quick scam that lures customers in with both unsubstantiated income claims and outrageous income claims. You can see these income claims in their Youtube videos on their Website.
Not only do they deceive customers, but they also hurt their competitiiors (such as myself and others) who sell honest publishing courses and who advertise honestly. In essence they hurt the entire industry, thus I have decided to make this report to the BBB.
In one of their recent Youtube videos at this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=za1HQ84hLmw they claim that you can make $300 a day by publishing 20 audio books and that even a 15 year old can do it, and that all you have to do is buy their course.
Skepticism is warranted whenever there is pressure and incentives to BUY NOW.
