Unlimited Bestseller Coaching
$9,995.00 Online or Offline payment
1 hour
I'm your coach and mentor in every step of the book publishing process, including Amazon research, writing effectively, launching to bestseller status in multiple categories, partner selection, and so on.
What this looks like in practice
- Whenever you have a question or need help, just set up a 20-minute Zoom call with me. I'll assess your situation and will give you the exact steps to take next.
- You can also send your questions via email. I answer in 24 hours (during weekdays), either in writing or by recording a video for you with the answer.
- We work at your pace. If you wish, you can set up a Zoom call even every day. (Most people I work with end up having 1-3 calls per week, and more during launch.)
- We work until you are a bestselling author. So, this is an unlimited coaching program that goes as long as it takes to become a bestselling author.
- "No questions barred." If you feel something is integral to making your book successful, you are more than welcome to ask for my coaching. We can also discuss your digital courses, developing your website, putting your webinar together, finding partners to promote you, or any other marketing activities.
The first session is the kickoff and is scheduled for one hour. The future sessions are 20 minutes long, and you'll receive a separate email with the instructions to set them up.
While the idea is to continue “until you’re a bestselling author,” we won’t stop there. Instead, we continue to work together for 45 days after your book first becomes a bestseller on Amazon. That way, you can leverage my knowledge for any marketing campaign you want to bring your book to new audiences after it’s published.
Why am I doing this?
I want to help 100 people to become bestselling authors on Amazon. My dream is to see some of these authors go even higher and become ranked among the prestigious bestseller lists of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today.
Having this bold dream also has a flip side: Unfortunately, I can't work with everybody, but have to choose my clients very carefully. I can only work with people who both are working on a topic that shows great potential, who are coachable, and with whom I have the right chemistry. If we are not a great match, I'll let you know.
(For this reason, I assume you had a conversation personal with me before making the purchase decision. If you haven't, please schedule a 15-minute Zoom call before going further.)
My promise to you:
When you work with me, you can be sure that I'll help you
- PUBLISH a really good book (something you’re proud of and what your readers really like)
- LAUNCH successfully as a bestseller in one or more categories (and once you get the grain out, you can easily repeat this with your next book)
- MAKE THE BOOK A SUCCESS so it becomes a profit center for your business and a phenomenon with the help of partners and earned media - which helps in collecting leads and selling your services.
What is included?
Since this is an "unlimited" program, there are no restrictions on what you can ask in our coaching sessions. The main thing is that you achieve your goals!
For example, I work with my coaching clients on the following issues :
- DEMAND AT AMAZON: What keywords or themes are in demand on Amazon? Is some topic too competitive and not worth a try? If you want to get to the top in category X, what is required of it?
- CONTENT: How can I make the book even more convincing and engaging? Does the book manage to grab the reader? How should it be changed?
- LANGUAGE / EDITING: How should my text be honed to make it work better? Can I somehow "automatically" eliminate grammatical errors?
- EXPERTS: "I need a book cover, or book formatting, or some additional illustration. Who can you recommend?"
- AMAZON FORMALITIES: How do I deal with paying taxes on Amazon? What should all these fields answer? In what categories should my book be placed?
- SCHEDULING: How do I get writing into my busy week? How can I free up time (and focus) on writing?
- PARTNERS: How do I find good partners who can recommend my book for their own lists? How do I get partners to give away free bonuses for my book? What kind of message am I approaching them with? How do I make collaboration really easy for them?
- BOOK NAME: How do I choose a good name for a book? Which of my options would be the best - or would one be even better?
- BOOK PRICING: At what price should you sell an ebook, physical book, or audiobook? What about my online course, coaching, or other additional services?
- COPYWRITING: In particular, filing the most important parts of a book into sales text that draws the reader in (title, subtitle, back cover, description, Amazon sales page, and first chapters)
- MEDIA RELATIONS: How do I get this in as many local or national media as possible? At what different angles could I approach suppliers? How to write a bulletin and backgrounder? How do I get editors to add a link to my website to the article?
- PODCASTS: How do I get to appear in podcasts? How do I tell about my book in a way that makes listeners buy it?
- SEO: How do I leverage my content and media to rise in search engine results? How do I get my book to the top of Google's search engine results?
- ONLINE COURSES: How do I build a video course to complement my book? What course platforms should you use?
... and much, much more!
In practice, you can ask anything related to writing a book, publishing, marketing, partner recruitment, media relations, and contacting TV channel makers.
Not only will I advise and coach, but I will get along with you. For example, I can fine-tune your text, do background research with my tools, write ready-made messages to contact decision-makers, and so on. I will give you all my know-how, contacts, and know-how.
Above all, I will help you understand what your most important next steps are so that you can focus on taking them - and you are accountable for taking them. So I make sure your gaze stays on the ball. This will get your vision ready and published as a bestseller, and then raised to an eye-catching phenomenon.
Payment options
I also offer two payment options:
- You can pay the full amount at once when we start ($ 9,995).
- You can pay in three installments once a month for $ 3,350 (a total of $ 11,050)
A one-time fee is therefore the cheapest option. If the payment is made through a company that is registered in the EU, 24% VAT will be added to the price. For countries outside of the EU, no VAT is added.
What happens when you decide to start?
Fill in your information below and choose the right time for your 1-hour kickoff meeting, where we will plan the project framework and key milestones.
I'll send you a pre-kickoff assignment that takes 20-40 minutes to complete.
After the kickoff, we continue with 20-minute coaching sessions as often as you need.
As the next step, please choose a convenient time from my calendar below.

“The ghostwriting and book launch of Crushing the Fear of Public Speaking gave me instant credibility, new international leads, a great ‘sales hacking story’ to use in client meetings (for my primary business), plus a nice extra stream of income."
“In less than two months, I got 3x extra sales than what I invested in the book ... and received several invitations to judge in international speaking competitions."
“Also, with the help of the book, I received an invitation to a VIP retreat for top Finnish keynote speakers (I didn’t even apply, but the organizers headhunted me to come instead of over 100 other speakers who had applied.)"

I attended Sakari Turunen's webinar on becoming a bestselling author because that is my goal. It didn't hurt that the offer landed in my inbox at the perfect time - just as I am launching my new book.
Throughout the webinar, Sakari offered all sorts of tips and free resources. He is knowledgeable and up to date in the fast-paced, ever-changing, landscape of indie book publishing. I liked his suggestions for quickly getting a book written, ready for publication, and to market. He had us do quick, thought-provoking exercises throughout the presentation and encouraged us to share our ideas with other participants. It was fun and I came up with a few ideas that I will write in the future.
When I followed up with Sakari a few days later in a Bestseller Strategy Session, he had more tricks and tips to share with me. I truly believe the tactics I learned from him will help me become a bestselling author.

I received from Sakari really good information about the different paths to writing a non-fiction book or having it written for me, as well as the available opportunities to sell on Amazon.
I also saw, how publishing Amazon bestselling books could grow my credibility as an expert in my field and thus help me get more leads for the products I sell through Amazon.
