A Look Back at Self-Publishing Products on the Warrior Plus Platform

It was another banner year for the self-publishing industry, which was reflected in the new training products and guides that were sold through Warrior Plus. I decided the time was right to examine the best self-publishing info guides and software of 2015.

This post begins a three-part series on popular training, software and educational content published for authors and other self-publishers since January of 2015.

Initially, I intended to have one all-encompassing post, but as I began to go back through my notes, I realized the project was too big for one post.

So, the next thing to do was decide upon a logical place to break up the report. I decided to report in three segments. The three self-publishing product posts will focus on:

1. products promoted on the Warrior Forum
2. products promoted on the JVZoo platform
3. products promoted on Zaxaa

I should make a couple of disclaimers:

• I’m not reporting that these are the ONLY self-publishing information products and software offered on these platforms throughout the year.
• I AM promoting ( many of) the listed products by way of my attached affiliate links and if you purchase through those links, I will receive a commission.

2015 Warrior Plus Best Self-Publishing Info Guides and Software

The products I refer to here are those that were launched in 2015. There are plenty that have remained evergreen for a few years. My designation of “People’s Choice” is based on the overall sales and the product’s refund rate.

In more general terms, I would like to acknowledge the following Kindle Niche Product Creators who used the Warrior Plus platform in 2015:

Most Prolific Product Creator: Temper Thompson

Best Storyteller: Vicky Sharma, for Kindle Money Magnet Pro

Most Original: Alessandro Zamboni, for Kindle Quiz and Dave Lynch for Creme de la Kindle

Best Big Idea: Bolaji O., for using the cliff hanger and serial ideas profusely

Most Epic: Bill Platt, for turning on a dime to seize opportunity, with Coloring Books for Adults 

Note:The growing interest in adult coloring books continues to entice more people to enter the self-publishing game.

Warrior Plus welcomed a few new vendors to the self-pub niche, which is sometimes referred to as the “Kindle,” or “KD” niche.

One new such vendor, Vicky Sharma, charmed all who read his material. His first info product, Kindle Money Magnet Pro, told the story of how he needed to make money online in order to impress his in-laws-to-be. The 75+ page PDF guide sold over 250 copies with a “0” refund rate. Quite a debut!

The top winning product creators on the Warrior Plus platform were head-and-shoulders above the rest, based on number of sales. But the corresponding refund rates for these 2 products speak volumes:
