Join Me: $5,000/Month KDP Challenge in 2026

You saw the chart. Eight months, 22x royalty growth, 15x profit. Not magic – process.

Now I'm setting the next target: $5,000/month by the end of 2026. And I'm doing it publicly, with full transparency on what works and what doesn't.

Here's what changed in my thinking going into this year.

Low-content got me to $50/month on autopilot. Switching to a quality-first mindset got me past $3,000. But scaling further requires something I spent the last few months building: a repeatable system that doesn't depend on my mood, my schedule, or lucky niche picks.

I'm calling it the Guided Publishing System.

It's not a course. It's not a prompt pack. It's a structured workflow — built around the idea that AI can do the heavy lifting in execution, while the decisions, creative direction, and judgment calls stay with us. That's what produces defensible, platform-compliant books that actually sell. And that's what separates publishers who plateau from publishers who compound.

I'm not ready to open it up fully yet. But I'm looking for a group of serious publishers – people already making something on KDP, already past the "does this even work?" phase – who want to run this alongside me in 2026.

What that looks like in practice: Real numbers shared. Real process documented. No cheerleading – just what's working, what broke, and how I'm adjusting.

If you're plateaued somewhere between $50 and $1,000/month and you're done waiting to figure out what the next level actually requires, this is worth paying attention to.

If $5,000/month is a thing of the past for you, it's amazing! Let's target 5x growth, for example.

More details on the Premium tier upgrades will be available soon. Watch this space.

The chart shows my trajectory from Jan-25 through Dec-25. Your numbers will be different. I hope you will crash it.
