Own Your Publishing Platform

How to Build, Launch & Automate Your Fully Owned Global Print-On-Demand Publishing Business By Ethan J. Redwood

Product Description

If you are tired of depending on Amazon KDP and other self-publishing platforms to get your books into the hands of the customer… frustrated with unpredictable account reviews… or simply ready to build a publishing business that YOU fully own, control, and profit from — this book is your blueprint.

Own Your Publishing Platform is a transformational guide that shows you exactly how to build your independent, automated, global publishing company using Lulu Direct + your own website (Wix, Shopify, WooCommerce).

No gatekeepers. No inventory. No restrictions. No sudden account terminations.
Just a clean, powerful system that prints, fulfills, and ships your books worldwide — while you retain 100% control and keep the bulk of the profits.

Inside this book, you will learn a complete, actionable system used by modern publishers to build real publishing houses, not just “upload-and-hope” author pages. You’ll discover how to launch a publishing platform that grows even when you’re asleep, using automated POD workflows, global shipping hubs, and a professional brand identity.

This is the most comprehensive step-by-step roadmap available today for independent publishing entrepreneurs — covering everything from setting up Lulu Direct, preparing manuscripts and covers, building a high-converting website storefront, organizing your catalog, pricing for maximum profit, using public-domain content legally, forming a U.S. or U.K. company, activating payment gateways, and scaling into a full publishing empire.

But you must know this upfront:

This book is not for everyone.

It is for serious people.
For builders.
For creators and entrepreneurs who want to own their platform, not rent space on someone else’s.
It is for those who desire to create a publishing business, not just publish a single book.
It is for those who want to build a generational asset — a catalogue, a brand, a company that grows in value over time.

If you want shortcuts, hacks, or “get rich quick” tricks, this is not for you.
If you want a real business, built with real infrastructure, real systems, and real ownership — welcome.
