This Publisher Made $3,750 in a Day With One Viral Video (No Ads)

From the creator

Amar joined my program a week and a half ago — and went viral in his first week. The wild part? He did it on Instagram (he hasn't even touched TikTok yet), he's based in the Netherlands, English isn't his first language, he's got a full-time job and a newborn, and he filmed dead-simple b-roll of his book. Within days his best book dropped from a ~100K BSR to under 3,000, and he had a single day that beat his previous best MONTH — around $3,750 in one day, with no extra ad spend. Here's exactly how he did it. 🚀 Want tutorials, feedback, and the cutting-edge TikTok strategies for your books? Check out my program 👉 https://www.viral-publishers.com/2-step-order-form ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ In this interview we cover: - His first week: simple b-roll → a video that hit 220K+ views on Instagram - How going viral dropped his BSR from ~100K to under 3,000 — and pulled his whole catalog up with it - The day he made more than his best month ever ($3,700+), with zero extra ad spend - Why being outside the US, not being a native English speaker, and having no TikTok didn't matter - How little time this actually takes (~one day a week of filming + editing) - Why he finally booked the call — and the mindset shift that made the difference - The hard part nobody warns you about when you go viral — and how to handle it If you've been telling yourself "this won't work for me because…", watch this. ⏱ Chapters 0:00 Meet Amar — 3 years on KDP, doing it on the side 0:40 His first week: simple b-roll → 220K views 4:21 What happened to his KDP royalties 5:02 The numbers: BSR from 100K to under 3,000 7:06 The day he beat his best month ever 8:23 Did he touch his ads?

The third AI workshop taught by our legendary teacher, Nick Sarafa. In one of the last events we did an asset manager raised an additional £25M on their fund within a space of 9 months. This is a full-day hands-on training workshop for purposeful co-creation with AI using Claude Code. Imagine having access to hundreds of billions of dollars of computing power and knowing exactly how to make it work for you through the power of super intelligence. One person did.
