Ines Johnson
Using Vanessa’s box method has allowed me to work less and make more simply by doing more with the intellectual property I’d already created. When I release I don’t need to achieve a high ranking on Amazon because I earn high revenue and maximize my books into as many formats as I can make available.
Elana Johnson
Vanessa has such a vast knowledge of Indie publishing. Whenever I see a post from her or talk to her, I learn something. Her methods are straightforward and simple, and they make my checklist heart happy.
Renee Rose
Using Vanessa's box method I doubled my income and reduced my ad expense by 50 percent in one year!
Natalie Dean
Vanessa's class was amazing. I'd highly recommend it to both new and experienced authors. It's not a "How to do ads" or "How to publish" type of class. It's more of a business minded class, which I think is an area many authors struggle with. I've gone back and tightened up my branding, auto-responders, spreadsheets, the way I plan my series out and more with this class. Without a doubt, my "brand" is looking better and I'm geared to be a more successful author after taking it.
Cynthia Woolf
Vanessa’s box method and this course have been so beneficial. I learned everything from presenting your book for success to pricing your book in all markets consistently. The thing I appreciated most was that with her box method, it doesn't matter what genre you write for her method to work. It works as well for me and my sweet western romances to Vanessa’s super spicy books. And it will work not just for romance but for mysteries, women’s fiction, thrillers. Every genre you can think of will benefit from her methods. I highly recommend this course. It’s worth its weight in gold.

Vanessa Vale
Within five years, Vanessa forged two pen names from scratch to seven figures—each using the strategies and techniques in the Thrifty Tips For Authors class. The beginnings of this program came when she was banned from Facebook ads, forcing her to develop strong branding and marketing steps that are enduring and withstand the changes and whims of the publishing industry.
She is still the go-to author for steamy small town romances, however has retired from her second pen name. The enduring Interstellar Brides Program is left in the capable and amazing hands of her BFF co-author.

This course is self-paced so you can build your bricks on a schedule that works for you. You will have forever access to the class with your one-time purchase, including any content or recorded video call updates or additions.
I'm a successful author. Is this course for me?
Congrats and yes! There's always something more to learn, right? I'm not only teaching 'do this' activities, but concepts that help you become more efficient—which not only means more time to write, but that you can make more money while working less. Plus, if you've already got several/lots of books published, this means you've got a backlist you can power up... right away!
You're a romance author. I'm not. How can you still help?
Some topics and content do lean toward the romance genre and sub-genres. However, the concepts will work whether you write space opera or cozy mystery as well.
I'm published exclusively with Kindle Unlimited. Will this class help me?
I'm a Wide author (meaning I don't exclusively publish with Amazon through their subscription program) so my marketing strategy encompasses EVERYTHING I've jammed into this course.
This class is useful for any author, regardless of where books are published. No matter whether you're in KU or Wide, you need a solid foundation made up of enduring marketing bricks and more. Right? So this is a class for everyone!
