Never Looking Back
From: Dan Pye
Archived Press Founder – Sydney, AUS
Ever thought you could build a real business just by bringing forgotten books back to life?
Most people never will.
They’ll stay stuck in jobs they hate, dreaming of financial freedom—but doing nothing about it.
Meanwhile, there’s a hidden goldmine sitting in plain sight: the Public Domain.
Books that are free to use. Proven to sell. And already loved by readers worldwide.
Imagine earning an income by publishing these books—without writing a word, hiring ghostwriters, or using AI.
Right now, the opportunity is wide open.
And it’s not just an “extra cash on the side” kind of opportunity.
It’s a real business model that’s helped me generate thousands monthly for over a decade—and now my students are doing the same.
Three unstoppable trends have cracked the door wide open:
All of this creates one thing:
An untapped opportunity for regular people to build a publishing business without writing or inventory.
This isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about building assets—books that sell over and over, long after you hit publish.

1. Security Check 2. Customer Information 3. Payment Information
This is a very comprehensive business module, a formula to success, not just with KDP but in all business and your personal life as well. If you dedicate the time to learning the content and then implementing the content, there is next to no chance that you will fail at this business. Let me put it this way, I have student's enrolled that speak no English, ZERO, and they have all managed to interpret the program, implement it and become successful using this strategy, that is how comprehensive this program is. However, you will have zero chance of success if you simply fail to try!
That's me! I'm not a special person or someone who holds some kind of official standing in society, I am a regular Australian man, a father and spouse really no different to you, but I am a serial entrepreneur. If I really think back when I was 8 years old, I sold paper t-shirts in the playground for lunch money, yes it goes that far back.
Over the years I tried my hand at many businesses and I had wins but I never quite succeeded. Eventually I found myself flat broke and without a home, this is when I developed my Amazon strategy. Amazon's KDP changed everything for me, I worked at it for 2 whole years before I figured out the secret sauce so to speak and then my life changed forever.
KDP has allowed me to comfortably father 4 children, purchase multiple properties and most of all given me financial freedom and cashflow to pursue my more audacious dreams.
So yeah, I kind of know a little about KDP, over the past decade I have honed and refined the process and this is the very same process you will now have access to when you join the Period Time Publishing Program.
Absolutely not, you will remember from the above answer that I was homeless when I developed this strategy, I literally sat in the back of a library using free 1-hour internet slots day in and day out building what was to become the catalyst business that changed my life.
Really it is ironic that I built a book sales business why surrounded by books, I am actually in the middle of writing a book about my life story so I won't go into this too much more detail on that and get to the point.
There is ZERO cost associated with implementing this business model besides your initial investment. Now we are adding a paid ads module inside the program but this is optional and not required to be successful with this program. So in short, once you're in and become a student there is nothing more to spend, zero, zilch, nada, nothing!
We focus heavily on getting straight to the point, this means I share my screen and show you precisely how this is done, step by step in great detail. Because of this, we have had students complete the entire training in a weekend and be publishing by Monday, however, I do suggest you give it at least a week to really let the content marinate.
When it comes to time, you need to spend working inside your new business it can be as little as 2 hours a day, this is all I spend every day on my business, 2 hours in the morning and I am free for the remainder of the day. Now in saying this, it might take you longer to meet each daily goal when you first begin but as time goes on you will become more proficient at implementing the workload and you will get it down to 2 hours a day max.
You will get immediate to the training course material, there are hours of short easy to follow over the shoulder video lessons which will become available by way of an email the moment you register for the program.
You will also get immediate access to the daily coaching server as soon as you log in to the student portal.
This is a huge problem inside of this industry and we are aware of it, this is why our approach to training is unique, the entire first module consist of extremely high-level mindset coaching, I have worked with some of the world leading entrepreneurs and spent well over $50,000 on personal development, everything I have learned that helped me become self-accountable, consistent and measurably effective is inside of this module. In truth if the first part of this training does not get you motivated and keep you taking action then there is nothing that will.
On top of this we have the daily coaching server where I will be encouraging you consistently to keep chipping away at your dreams, I will become your personal accountability partner and I will call you out should you fall behind, this is the most important business you have ever been involved with, there is no room to slack off.
We also have one more little motivation technique, you will receive a weekly email from me asking how you went with the specific module, I do expect to hear back from you.
Now as for not getting results, there is very little to say here but if you do follow the program step by step, stay accountable and implement the productivity measuring techniques taught inside the program then it’s not even possible for you to get zero results.
Well, there is the standard email tech support but the thing that makes this program really unique is the daily coaching.
Every student currently inside the program has said their success so far has been enhanced greatly by the accessibility all students have to my team, and I, and the speed at that their questions are addressed.
You see in the group coaching all you have to do is drop your question and if another more experienced student does not put you on the right path my team and I browse the coaching daily and address any and all questions posted within 12 hours, often with a personalised video, showing you precisely how to overcome your roadblock.
In other words, you will get an answer on the day you ask the question, with no exceptions.
The training starts the moment you register and buy in, you will be sent an instant email with your log in details and instructions, all you have to do is go to the Discord, join our server, and get started.
It's not possible to miss a class because all content is available to you immediately. This is really a learn at your own pace environment however, in saying that we do suggest you stay consistent and allocate a set amount of time each day to getting the job done so you can begin to implement the teachings and start to make some money.
NO, this is a myth, my son started learning this business at 12 years old and my current oldest student is retired at 68 years of age and bord.
Look you are never too young or too old to seek success, follow your dreams and achieve your life ambitions. We only have this one life that we for sure know about, so it is important that you do take risks, follow your heart and make the very most of your time here no matter your age. DO NOT ever let anyone else tell you any different!
The answer is YES! I have developed this program in such a way that you can implement it from any country in the world, if you have a laptop, the internet and Microsoft word then you are set to go.
The biggest issue people have with KDP is getting paid from certain countries that do not offer bank transfer integration, this is a non-issue for us. My team and I have devised a number of ways to circumnavigate this problem and have done so successfully for many of our students.
The second biggest issue is tax, certain countries that do not have an Income Tax Treaty with the USA have to pay a whopping 20% tax, well not anymore, we have also found a very unique way around this issue. So, in short YES it will work in your country.
Yes, but there is only one Dan Pye and many of you, so, we have other coaches on duty as well. Dan is very active in the daily coaching server, you will never have a question unanswered that is Dan's personal guarantee.
In the future Dan may offer a more personalised one-on-one service with a fee for those students who have found success and want to take it to the next level but at this stage the daily coaching is your best option and an option not offered anywhere else.
Dan also does a bi-monthly Q&A in the server, where you can get advice live.
You will gain access to the content within 5 minutes of signing up and paying for your training, however, as this is a learn at your own pace environment you can begin the training at will. I do suggest that you stay consistent however and allocate a set amount of time to the course every day in order to achieve the optimal results.
That is perfect, the biggest issue I have seen so far is trying to get students to unlearn what they think they know from watching to many YouTube videos. Look if you have been trying and it is not working for you then there is a reason for that right?
YouTube is great but your only getting half the story. So the fact that you do not even have an account excites me because you are approaching this material with fresh eye's, you will learn, interpret and implement the training without any preconceptions and in many cases it's the new to the game students that excel the quickest.
Also this is a complete comprehensive training, I show you precisely how to create an account, the different types of accounts, the tax W8-BEN form, just absolutely everything you need to know in order to get started with KDP.
Absolutely not, Amazon has marketplaces all over the world and we sell online in all of them. There are no restrictions. Amazon will pay you in USD or EUR which will be easily converted into the currency of your country of origin before it hits your bank account. So, we are not limited to our home countries, we are building global businesses.
So we run the publishing house model, which means we operate as a traditional publishing house, we work with a pool of authors in many genres publishing their books and collecting royalties for sales. The big difference is we do not share the royalties with the authors because these books are in the public domain so you keep all the profits. So, essentially you would be classified as a small publishing house business. You are not limited by boarders either, you can do this from anywhere in the world even as a traveling nomad.
The quick answer? No need to worry about excessive volume.
In our early days, we were churning out 5 to 10 public domain books daily. But guess what? Through innovative process improvements, we've managed to produce just 3 to 5 books a day—yet achieve the same stellar results. And back then, we were only dealing with paperbacks.
The real magic? We've taken it a step further. Now, each day, we publish only three titles but turn each one into a triple threat: paperback, hardcover, and eBook. That's nine fabulous products daily!
This savvy strategy lets us diversify our catalog without overextending ourselves, reaping the same, if not better, rewards. And here's the kicker—many of our students publish even fewer titles and still hit their targets!
Great question and the answer is Amazon prints and ships the books for us completely free of charge!
Many other's have asked this question before you, watch the video below where I go over this in detail with Mark who was interested in PTP and is now a star student.
PS: We also discuss the copyright laws.
Surprisingly, it's not just about accessing literature but experiencing it. Physical books offer a tactile satisfaction that digital counterparts can't match, echoing a profound connection to the content within. Our insight into market desires ensures we meet this need, making free versions merely a shadow of what we offer.
Our strategy transcends the usual market competition through innovation and unique value, effectively making rivals irrelevant. Our cost-effective approach and unique market insights guide us and our students to untapped areas, ensuring overlap is virtually non-existent.
Remarkably, a mere two hours a day can set the stage for monumental success. Dan's own journey from a nightly commitment to a thriving empire is a testament to what focused effort can achieve, proving that transformation is within your grasp.
Boasting over a decade of expertise, our program leads with unmatched strategies and legal insights, making daunting challenges like law and policy navigable. Our holistic support and continuously updated tactics provide a clear path to dominance in this space.
Yes, and impressively so. Our model thrives across borders, empowering individuals in even the most financially restrictive regions. Accessibility and inclusivity are at the core, breaking down barriers to entry worldwide.
Contrary to common belief, no prior experience or tech skills are needed. Our program is crafted for universal accessibility, focusing on strategic learning and practical application, demystifying the path to success.
Uniquely, our business model requires no initial or ongoing investment, setting us apart in the entrepreneurial world. Our commitment to zero operational costs reflects in our all-inclusive training, providing unparalleled value and true passive income potential.
Our approach, backed by a significant legal investment ($8k in legal fees), simplifies the complexity of compliance, offering a seamless experience. This investment in legal clarity is shared with you, ensuring your journey is as smooth as possible.
Through meticulous market analysis and a deep dive into customer preferences, we craft strategies that not only avoid saturation but propel our publishers into niche markets ripe for success. Our data-driven decisions ensure you're always ahead of the curve.
Driven by the dual motives of personal ambition and the desire to empower during times of need (We launched during COVID lockdowns sharing our secrets for the 1st time to the world), Dan's sharing of this strategy opens the door to significant personal and financial growth. The limitation on enrolment underscores our commitment to personalized, in-depth support, ensuring each student's journey to success is well-navigated.
Yes, you have complete control of your account. If you wish to cancel, simply email us 3 days before your next rebill.
We require a minimum 3-month membership because true success in any business, including the one we teach, requires commitment and consistency. If you’re unable to dedicate 3 months to building a business, it may not be the right time for you to undertake any business venture.
This policy is designed to set you up for success. A business isn’t built overnight, and a sustainable, thriving income stream takes time and effort to create. By committing to at least 3 months, you’re giving yourself the opportunity to truly understand and apply the strategies we teach, build momentum, and lay the foundation for long-term results.
We’ve found that this level of commitment is what separates those who succeed from those who give up too soon. When you invest in yourself and your future with consistent effort, you’ll be far more likely to achieve the success you came here for. This is about creating a real business, not just wishful thinking—and with the right focus and dedication, you’ll have the support and tools you need to reach your goals.
Everything, the course, all future updates to the course and program, the daily coaching, our databases, the new services like account reviews, lives with Dan and more. We leave nothing out for the small fee of $45 per month.
To maximize the benefits of your subscription, we recommend engaging regularly with our community, attending live Q&As, and utilizing the extensive resources in our library. Setting personal learning goals and scheduling time weekly to focus on these resources can also enhance your experience.
