“Before selfpublishing.com I had written a book but didn't know what to do with it. I shipped the manuscript to publishers and never heard back. selfpublishing.com gave me a plan, accountability, and a community, which helped answer my questions and get the book noticed. My first book, Speak with No Fear, has sold over 40,000 copies. I accepted a traditional publishing deal by Wiley for my next book – Speak with Confidence.”

Author of the ‘Speak with No Fear'
What We Are Looking For
Impactors
You thrive by deep diving into organic traffic and content quality. Your passion, belief, and enthusiasm changes lives every single day.
Top Producers
Simply put, we need someone that can come in day one and perform at a high level. Our team is made up of top 1% performers from their previous position.
Innovative Authors
Every author, influencer, and business builder is unique. This is not a one size fits all job. We needs strategic thinkers that are nimble, creative, great listeners, and quick on their feet!
Learners
We look for people that seek out growth opportunities any chance they get, whether through books, podcasts, courses, or other avenues. We are lifelong learners.
Action Takers
This is a 100% work from home position. Our employees would tell you that our culture is second to none, but it is virtual. There is amazing support, but you need to be highly self motivated.
Optimists
We are looking for “find a way” people that understand their attitude has a massive impact on performance and are constantly solution oriented in the way they approach challenges.
About the Position
Job Responsibilities
The VP of Digital Marketing/Demand Generation is responsible for driving the economic engine at selfpublishing.com. The purpose of this position is to grow Qualified Appointments (Qapps) and Revenue as fast as possible while also reducing CAC (cost to acquire customer).
This is done by managing our growth channels (see chapters 10 & 11 in Extreme Revenue Growth) and the leaders of those channels. There are 2 main ways to drive revenue:
- Filling up the sales team’s calendars with qualified appointments
- Generating “non rep revenue” via marketing funnels
MUST be great at 3 things:
- Scaling paid acquisition channels past $10M/year (FB/IG/Google/YT/LinkedIn)
- Proven leader of a marketing / demand generation team at scale
- LOVES marketing & is passionate about it
The VP of Marketing focuses the team on growing the channels that are working, pruning the channels / campaigns that aren’t working, and breeding a culture of testing/innovation to sprout new marketing campaigns and channels.
All of these decisions are made by data and rigorous testing…NOT… “gut feel”. Trusting your gut (informed by conversations with customers) is great when coming up with new tests to run…not when making big decisions on how to allocate marketing budget.
KPI's
- Revenue – grow by 40%+ or more per year
- # of Qapps – grow by 40%+ or more per year
- Cost to Acquire Customer (CAC)
Compensation Structure
- Competitive pay: $125,000 – $250,000+ total comp
- Approximately 1/2 base, 1/2 incentive comp based on revenue growth
- Top tier healthcare: Your choice of high quality healthcare (For US-based full-time employees)
- Self-Care budget: $3,000 annual to be used for massages, house cleanings, or even date nights with your spouse
Work remotely: save $5k/year in commuting costs and 100+ hrs each year (aka. 2 ½ extra weeks of vacation time)
Benefits
Benefits include health insurance, paid time off, 401k match, $250 monthly self care budget, paid travel opportunities, personal development budget, and more.
Weekly Schedule
This is a 100% work from home position with the expectation of 45 hours a week of availability. You are welcome to open additional slots on a given week if you would like. The hours can be quite flexible, since we have apsiring authors all around the world.
Qualifications
Required:
- Experience running marketing for a company doing at least $20M in annual revenue
- Ability to create & grow multiple marketing channels (and manage the leaders of those channels) in a way that drives down CAC while also growing revenue
- A visionary with a deep understanding of innovative online marketing strategies and a proven track record of creating campaigns and initiatives that will drive down CAC while increasing revenue.
- A strong leader / executive who can lead a team
- Thorough hands-on-keys experience building, implementing, and maintaining marketing campaigns and automated systems.
- Solid grasp of copywriting
