Your Personal Self-Publishing Assistant. I handle the self-publishing process for you, from editing to print, and everything in between.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but ... publishing and marketing are two different skillsets. You’ll need to master both if you actually want people to buy your book.

[Monique D. Mensah @MakeYourMarkPS]

I don’t know who needs to hear this but ... half-assing a proven system or technique or coaching and then claiming it doesn’t work is some BS. It’s not the system that doesn’t work. It’s you. Nothing works without full effort and consistency.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but ... Amazon is a trillion-dollar brand. They don’t need your help. Stop pushing Amazon’s brand on your readers and connect them with YOUR brand. Let Amazon do Amazon and you do YOU!

While they’re over there teaching the cheapest and fastest way to slap a book together, with “tricks” and “hacks” to hit bestseller, I’m over here empowering my authors with high-quality books, profitable brands, and long-term, sustainable success. We are not the same.🙄

I don’t know who needs to hear this but ... you’ll gladly spend $50-100k on a college degree you’ll never use & put you into debt, but balk at a 4-figure investment for a specialized skill to build a successful career and generate unlimited earning potential. Make it make sense.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but ... I’ve helped 50 of my indie friends self-publish high-quality books in 2020. I will help 100 authors in 2021. What number will you be?

[Monique D. Mensah @MakeYourMarkPS]

I don’t know who needs to hear this but ... confused people don’t buy! Are you an IG model or an author? If readers can’t tell who you are, what you do, and what value you offer at a glance, you’re wasting time and losing money. And wasting time IS losing money. Period.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but ... I don’t launch books. I launch careers. 💅🏽

[Monique D. Mensah @MakeYourMarkPS]

I don’t know who needs to hear this but ... instead of chasing an often meaningless vanity title like “Amazon Bestseller” that may last all of two seconds, you should be focused on building a Bestseller Brand that will earn you a loyal readership and consistent book sales.

[Monique D. Mensah @MakeYourMarkPS]

Amazon is now allowing sponsored ads for KDP authors, YAY! ... but um ... unless you have a genre-appropriate, professional book cover, you’re gonna have to sit this one out. Homemade-looking, DIY-AF book covers DO NOT SELL. Quality comes first! 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Monique D. Mensah @MakeYourMarkPS]

I don’t know who needs to hear this but... selling says, “Do something for me,” but marketing says, “Here’s what I can do for you.” Stop selling a book and start marketing value.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but...piecemealing the self-publishing and book marketing process with blog posts and YouTube videos will have you confused, frustrated, and worse—doing it WRONG! I’ve got you. Join the waitlist now for my FREE live private training.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but ... don’t nobody wanna sign up for your email list—nobody! But they will sign up for that free, valuable thing you’re offering!

I don’t know who needs to hear this but ... that image you got from the Internet and slapped on your book cover or inside your book ... yeah, boo, THAT’S ILLEGAL!

[Monique D. Mensah @MakeYourMarkPS]

I don’t know who needs to hear this but ... it’s not enter, enter, enter, enter, enter, enter, enter, enter, enter, enter, enter, enter, enter, enter ... It’s *insert page break* Bye!

[Monique D. Mensah @MakeYourMarkPS]

I don’t know who needs to hear this but ... when someone says, “Oh, you got a new hairstyle! You did it yourself?” it’s not a compliment. 🥴And the same is true for your book.

[Monique D. Mensah @MakeYourMarkPS]

I don’t know who needs to hear this but ... people can’t buy a book they don’t know you’re selling. Marketing sells books, not telepathy.

[Monique D. Mensah @MakeYourMarkPS]

I don’t know who needs to hear this but ... I am not your publisher. I am a self-publishing assistant. A publisher owns your publishing rights and owns the book. A self-publisher keeps their publishing rights. I don’t want your book!

[Monique D. Mensah @MakeYourMarkPS]

I don’t know who needs to hear this but ... hell, everybody needs to hear this ... MAKE YOUR MARK is now officially a six-figure business! 🥳

[Monique D. Mensah @MakeYourMarkPS]

I don’t know who needs to hear this but ... don’t talk to me about what someone else is charging. Neiman Marcus ain’t worried about what Walmart is doing.
