Hey Aspiring Author!
First of all, HUGE congratulations! It’s not an easy decision to make to write a book, so I’m super proud of you for taking that first step.
You’re now one of the 1% of people who will publish a book in their lifetime!
As exciting as that is, I also understand how completely overwhelming this can be. There’s a huge gap between deciding to write a book and actually having a best-selling book on the shelves!
I remember exactly how I felt when I finally said to myself: “I want to write a book.” On one hand, it felt like the best decision of my life. I always knew I was born to be a writer, and this felt like the first major step on that path. On the other hand, I was absolutely TERRIFIED! Like most people, I thought that you just wrote a good manuscript, slapped it on the shelves, and watched the royalty payments come rolling in.
Boy, was I wrong.
Don’t get me wrong, the whole process was still absolutely worth it, but there were so many more moving pieces than I thought. There was actually a point where I was about ready to give up and just put my manuscript on the shelf for a few years.
For example, do you know how to successfully choose your book’s categories on Amazon to give yourself the best chance possible at becoming a best-selling author? I didn’t.
How about the best book promotion out there to get your book into the hands of as many people as possible? Nope, me neither.
Or, what about the single check-box you need to leave unchecked during the KDP publication process so that your book will get worldwide distribution into places like Waterstones, Barnes & Noble, and Target? Yeah, I had no clue.
The worst part? I had to figure out the answers to these questions all on my own.
I had to scour the internet for blog posts explaining the whole thing.
I had no one to ask for help from when I didn’t understand something or when something went wrong.
I knew I had a manuscript that could change people’s lives, but the whole process was like being stranded on a desert island with a broken oar and half a bottle of tequila.
How about I save you that crappy desert-island tequila hangover and show you EXACTLY how to write, publish, and market your best-selling book?
(Hint: I’d say HELL YES!)
The 8-Week Aspiring Author Incubator
Everything in the incubator is worth $3600, and the time I spent learning all this was probably worth 10x that, but a seat in this incubator is only $2000.
Before we dive into how I can do that, I better introduce myself: my name is Jessi Beyer, and I’m the #1 best-selling author of How To Heal: A Practical Guide To Nine Natural Therapies You Can Use To Release Your Trauma. My book was a #1 best-seller in nine categories and reached the top ten in an additional five. Furthermore, I’ve had hundreds of sales around the world in nearly a dozen different countries.
The feeling of holding your first book in your hands is absolutely surreal — my name is on the cover!!! It’s a moment I’ll never forget, and I’m not too much of a woman to admit that I shed a few tears.
I want to give you that moment. I want to give you that moment of insane pride and accomplishment. I want to give you the tools you need to write a book that can change the world.
How? Through my 8-week Aspiring Author Incubator, running live starting September 1.
Who The Incubator Is For:
- Women with a message they want to share with the world
- High school or college seniors who want a kick-ass capstone project
- Entrepreneurs looking to take their business to the next level

Who The Incubator Is NOT For:

Rachel Tindall, Writing & Creative Confidence Coach
“It was awesome! I’ve been writing my book for about a year and, while I’m not quite finished, I did want to keep my eye on the publishing process that I didn’t know much about until she shared a lot of great information with me. Despite the fact that I’ve been a writer for a long time and I know a lot of people with books and a lot of people who have been published, I didn’t actually know too much about the process until I talked to Jessi, who was super helpful. She gave me a lot of really great information that I’m so excited to put to use later this year when I’m done with my manuscript. I wish I could do it now! She made me really excited about it. She was really good at asking questions and figuring out what I needed to know, even when I didn’t quite know myself, which was pretty cool. 100% recommend.”
Look, I get it — you’ve probably looked at some other programs or other coaches. You may have even hired them, but if you’re here with me today, there’s a good chance you haven’t gotten the results you’ve wanted elsewhere.
I get it if you’re skeptical! I spent thousands of dollars on coaches and courses that did absolutely nothing for me, so I get what’s it’s like to be faced with yet another investment and wonder whether it’s worth it.
Here’s the deal: I can’t tell you if it’s worth it. That’s a decision you have to make for yourself.
I can, though, tell you what writing a #1 best-selling book has done for me:
- I felt like I finally accomplished something worthwhile for the first time in my life
- I changed other people’s lives all around the world
- I got exponentially more press features and opportunities
- My speaking fees went up by $2000 overnight
- I felt more confident and intelligent
- I healed parts of myself I didn’t know still needed healing
These are changes you can have in your life, too. I 100% believe that, or I wouldn’t be sitting here at a dirty plastic table writing this sales page and trying to convince you to work with me.
If you don't believe me, check out what Hillary and Sarah had to say:
“My experience with Jessi was nothing short of amazing. She was very attentive and was able to recommend different resources that were beneficial to the projects that I was working on. My consultation with Jessi was very relaxed and informative as she helped me understand what things were needed and what obstacles I could face.”
– Hillary Woodall Franks, Entrepreneur and Mom of 1
“In need of a smile and words of wisdom and feedback on writing? Jessi is the girl for the job! She is very knowledgeable and down to earth. You can tell she loves her job and loves serving others. She is well informed with current trends and on top of her industry. It was a pleasure talking with her.”
– Sarah Swysgood, Freelance Writer & Administrative Process Consultant

I really don’t believe you won’t get your money’s worth from the incubator, but I want to make this as much of a no-brainer for you as possible.
Do you want to travel this journey alone, spend hours and hours scouring the internet for blog posts that answer your specific question, and make loads of costly mistakes along the way?
Or do you want to have the personal guidance and support of someone who’s done it? I know which I would choose.
Jaime Rivetts, MSEd, Executive Director and Social Learning Specialist at the Idaho Social Learning Center
“I am looking to publish my first eBook, so I’m completely new to the industry, and Jessi gave me a wealth of information — things I didn’t even know I needed to do! I need a launch team, I need influencers, some wonderful websites for how to upload the book, I need an ISBN number, how to do that, how to maximize getting my book out there via Amazon and via small bookstores. She’s a wealth of information, professional; I definitely recommend reaching out to Jessi. Don’t take this walk alone! I’m so glad that I did, and I know you will be glad, too!”

Karie Babbitt, Project Manager, Design Manager, and Future Memoir Author
“I attempted to help my mother-in-law write her memoir several years ago. We are at a point where we don’t know what to do next. We have the outline and a rough, rough draft but need further direction. Seeing that my MIL has a 5th-grade education and I have a slight interest in writing, we are far from writers’ abilities so I have been looking for our next step. I booked a call with Jessi and was excited to learn that she would be able to help me. She had some great suggestions on our next steps to get this book out and my MIL’s voice heard. I look forward to learning more from Jessi.”
Maddi Green, Videographer and Photographer
“In only one session with Jessi, I was able to see my business from an outsider’s perspective to further grow and expand my business. Even though Jessi is from America and I’m from Australia, I now have a mentor in the industry who can help me and follow me on my journey as a small businesswoman.”
