Self-publishing can be a lucrative way to bring value to your audience in a new format...and you don't need Amazon to find success.

At the age of 35, Cepee Tabibian upended her entire life by selling her belongings and moving to Europe—and since then, has never looked back. Now, she teaches other women how to do it too, through her community based business, She Hit Refresh: a global community of over 10,000 women age 30+ who want to move abroad.
She has even turned her overseas expertise into the digital book “I’m Outta Here! An American’s Ultimate Visa Guide to Living in Europe”—which was featured in Forbes (spoiler alert: it’s easier than you think).
