About Driven Publishers

The free group has daily discussions, video lessons and recordings of past coaching calls, and live Q&A calls with experts.[1] Discussion topics include niche research, ads and AI integration.[1]

The paid DPE membership is invite-only and aimed at self-publishers who already have books on Amazon; applicants apply online and then talk with a member.[2][3] It includes two or three live calls a week in US and EU time zones, a DPE AI Coach available between calls, and courses such as TikTok Shop for Publishers, Amazon Ads Mastery and Niches Masterclass.[3] DPE also runs two live masterminds a year, one in the US and one in Europe, with keynotes and hot seats; earlier ones were held in Barcelona, Las Vegas and London.[2] DPE Miami is scheduled for November 7-8, 2026, and as of September 2026 tickets started at $797 early bird; a London event for 2027 was open for pre-order with dates to be announced.[2] The brand's YouTube channel promotes DPE, the London event and this free Skool group.[4]

Membership is an annual commitment that includes both live events, and its price is not published.[3] The membership page states that the results it shows are individual experiences, that earnings and outcomes are not guaranteed, and that results vary with effort, niche, budget and market factors.[3]

This community is published as free, so the figure is zero. Its members are an audience, not customers. Nothing here estimates what that audience might be worth, and no price is applied to it anywhere on this site.
