Beyond Amazon KDP: Are You Limiting Your Reach?

Writer: Jan ZuckerJan Zucker

Hi everyone,


I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was exciting. I spent a good deal of time exploring and navigating the world of AI “agents.” Spoiler alert – If you thought what you have seen with AI up till now was mind-bending, Wait 6 months—more on this in coming newsletters.


This week, we are going beyond our borders. Yes, there are other people who read and want to learn beyond both coasts. We will learn what markets are hot, how to use AI in global marketing, and why there’s a whole world waiting to discover.


If you’re self-publishing books—or thinking about it—it’s easy to assume Amazon KDP is the 800-pound gorilla in the room. And sure, it’s the biggest name in self-publishing. But here’s the reality—if KDP is your only strategy, you’re leaving money (and potential clients) on the table. There is at least 20-25% of the market you are not reaching.


For coaches, authors, and content creators, going beyond Amazon isn’t just about book sales—it’s about building authority, expanding into new markets, and creating multiple revenue streams. That’s why our next roundtable will explore new publishing and marketing options and how they can open doors to new audiences.


And here’s the best part—International Publishing Consultant Julie Trelstad will be joining us to break it all down!


Beyond Amazon: Expanding Your Reach & Revenue


Platforms like Streetlib don’t just help authors reach international readers—they offer coaches and course creators a way to scale their expertise to new markets. With Streetlib, you can distribute books and digital content in over 50 countries, tapping into audiences that Amazon doesn’t dominate.


✔️ Expand into global markets—English is now almost ubiquitous. Or try our translation services.

✔️ Increase royalties & control pricing—no hidden platform discounts—more money in your pocket.

✔️ Sell multiple formats—ebooks, audiobooks, and print-on-demand. Piggyback marketing your course as well.

✔️ Position yourself as an industry leader—a book is your best credibility tool. Share your journey to becoming an influencer.


Already Have a Book & Course? Here’s How to Maximize It


Publishing beyond Amazon is just the first step—marketing and monetization is where the real opportunity lies. Here’s how to make sure your book and course actually generate results:


📢 Use Multiple Sales Channels – Get listed on Apple Books, Google Play, Kobo, and Bookshop.org to attract new buyers.


📧 Leverage Email Marketing – Build an engaged audience that’s ready to invest in your expertise.


📖 Engage with Book Communities – Get active on Goodreads, BookTok, and Facebook groups to drive interest.


🌎 Consider Translations – Books and courses in Spanish, German, or French can open doors to entirely new markets.


Don’t Have a Book Yet? Let’s Change That.


If you’re a coach, consultant, or course creator and you don’t have a book, you’re missing a huge opportunity. A book is more than just words on a page—it’s a marketing tool, a credibility booster, and a gateway to higher-value offerings like courses and coaching programs.


And here’s the good news: we can help you create your book in just 3 months. If you’re ready to expand your influence, let’s talk.
