Meet Your Bootcamp Instructor, Geoff Affleck
I’ve been working in the field of self-development, online marketing and publishing since 2009. As a guide for self-help authors I’ve helped both NY Times bestselling authors and emerging teachers alike to develop authentic, highly engaging, and lucrative non-fiction books, programs and marketing funnels for their expanding global communities.
I was fortunate to be business partners with three master mentors— New York Times bestselling authors who helped me fine-tune a proven system I call the Bestseller Blueprint for creating successful non-fiction books that engage, inspire and transform readers.
My very first eBook, Enlightened Bestseller: 7 Keys to Creating a Successful Self-Help Book instantly became an Amazon #1 bestseller and has been downloaded over 8,000 times. Since then I’ve co-authored five more #1 bestsellers and helped dozens of authors do the same.
My passion is helping conscious entrepreneurs accelerate the growth of their business by translating their knowledge, personal stories and teachings into bestselling books so they can impact people’s lives and create a business around their message.
