In this video, I review different TH-cam channels and websites claiming the Mikkelsen Twins Course is a scam and not a legitimate opportunity to make money online. Most of the video is just me debunking the claims made, but I also talk about things that I think are justified concerns.

I came here for an honest review of AIA and instead, I just got a guy talking about how people who give it bad reviews didn’t use the course, but he didn’t talk about how he is the course and found at work. He didn’t give me any reason not to believe the people who said it was a scam
Thanks for the comment. I completely agree that this video wasn't great, but I'm pretty new to TH-cam, and on the videos where I talked about how it works, people just referenced all the negative websites and videos. It's hard to keep everyone happy :)
This is the video you were looking for, I think:
th-cam.com/video/Yj6eWBldNVo/w-d-xo.html
i agree. No debunking whatsoever ....
What did you want to see? I've covered everything in other videos.
th-cam.com/video/0xBVsVReaDI/w-d-xo.html
Exactly
I believe it is all a big scam
Idk man you didn’t really debunk or respond to anything, moreso just reacted to a few frames, comments and section titles of some videos. Is anything Emma Thorne said incorrect? Is anything in Folding Ideas’ video incorrect?
Sorry you didn't find the video useful. What questions/concerns did you have? Maybe I can address them here. I will do a video on folding ideas but its hard to cover an hour and a half of video and get to everything he says. The reality of these videos is A) They are hit pieces designed to find nothing positive B) These people have never taken the course and it's all their opinion C) I'm just a student who made a lot of money from their course, I don't know anything about there marketing.
I have a question. I’ve seen the original video, have a bunch of book ideas even those that I’ve been working on personally and need some advice about the program.
Hey Ryan. No problem. What are your questions? I'll my best to answer them.
Is the training (all aspects of it listed on the sign up page) available forever or is there a cutoff date for access to the support area (coaching, facebook page ). I just want to know if the support and content is available for as long as the information is online. Also - once a person pays for the course, do we need to buy something else to accelerate our learning? Thank you! I posted this awhile ago, but I don't see it so I may have forgotten to hit the comment button. (or maybe you screen comments before posting which is understandable).
Hi Kathy. Yes, everything is available forever, and you will always have access to it. You don't have to feel like a clock is counting down or that you need to complete things by a specific date it's very much going at your own pace. If I were you I'd at least for the first 6 months try and attend the live Q&A calls and go through the archive of success calls (It's a lot) but it will accelerate your learning curve even more.
You don't have to purchase anything else the course covers everything including how to write books when you're not a writer. I'd suggest starting with the 7-day profit challenge once you join it will get you started quickly.
Most people including myself started for free with this and then as you make money you reinvest into getting writing help and improved cover designs etc.
If you do sign up use my link in the description and ill be sending out the new bonuses to everyone who has signed up with me recently.
@@TrevorSomerville If I decide to sign up I will definitely use your link.
I signed up this morning with your link and sent you an email. Very impressed with the website layout and information in my first few hours.
@@feber16 Awesome. Hang tight we're finishing new bonuses and will be emailing them out. Book your success call and get things rolling! Welcome to AIA!
@@TrevorSomerville I booked my orientation call for tomorrow morning and a Q and A in the afternoon. On Module 5 of Millionaire Mindset right now.
Hey! Thanks for this video; I found it very helpful.
I'm glad it was helpful! Here is a playlist showing all my review videos of AIPA over the years.
th-cam.com/video/_H4nqRF4OKw/w-d-xo.html
Wondering? If we join the course, there are additional costs like paying for the ghost writers right? And, what about copyright? We would need to get each assest copyrighted?
The course is set up so you can get started for pretty much free, even as a nonwriter. In the past yes, to create a long-form book you'd need a ghostwriter, but now that they give you access to their AI software you don't have many expenses.
Copyright is a good idea but not mandatory. It's around $45 and then things like cover design which can be $5-100 depends on where you get it made.
I cover some of these subjects on my bonuses page:

Hi Trevor. I have been looking at AIA Publishing for 6 months. I am not a publisher but I do need to do something mobile. Is this something I can do without any publishing experience?
Hi Stella. Yes, this is, in my opinion, the most beginner-friendly online or "mobile" business. I started with no experience and having failed English in school multiple times haha.
If you decide to sign up use my link in the description and ill be sending you over bonuses.
Thanks for the video, Trevor. As someone who ran across this AIA platform and went through the webinar, I'm doing exactly what you said here: doing some further research to ascertain its legitimacy...which brought me to your video here. So, as someone who has gone through the course and the process, what is realistic in terms of real income from this in your experience? (I don't mean to ask what you're making doing it, but in reality, I guess I sort-of am...at least asking in terms of ballpark realities. I know that everything depends on how much effort one puts into anything.) And if you addressed that question in the video, I apologize for asking here. I didn't get to watch it entirely but you come across as genuine so I'm hoping you can respond. Thanks again!
Hey David. Right now I’m making about $1000 USD a day (profit) which is a bit slower than usual but no complaints. Take a look at some of my other videos on the course I show income from specific brands I’ve built and I think some of the other videos I did a better job on then this one. Good on you for doing the research. The sky is the limit honestly and Amazon keeps getting bigger around the world.
@@TrevorSomerville thanks so much for the reply. One of the things I saw in the webinar that was a bit of a red flag was the fact that all the income examples/testimonials shown appear to be from at least as far back as 2021 (some older.) I realize that this might be a result of not updating the webinar for awhile, but my thought was: if the program is still as viable today as it was 2 years ago, then why would they not update the presentation and examples at least once a year. It just made me wonder if the viability of it is still as strong today. Also, if the AI tool they were developing was in beta 2 years ago, then why would it still be in beta today? I'm not being negative - just trying to ascertain some things before I would proceed. Thanks again for your response. I'd be really happy to get to $1k/month with it - $1k/day is incredible. Congrats!
@@DavidOxford606 I know dozens of people who have been in the program for years and they make a killing (much more then me). Id assume they just don't bother switching things out that often, but I understand where you're coming from. Send me an email from the description ill show you my dashboard.
The only way this program goes anywhere is if people stop reading and honestly to this day I still sell more paperback books then everything else combined.
Been looking at some reviews and it’s nice to see someone who’s actually done it talk on it. The cost isn’t as bad as I thought it would be with the monthly payments. I sent you an email about the bonuses, looking forward to getting them.
Thanks Tyler! I hope you're enjoying the bonuses. There are now 12 in total based on popular demand.
Signed up to check out the bonuses, thanks fir sharing your link
Thanks. I got your email and will send the bonuses out this weekend. Were working on some new ones for everyone who has joined so far.
Hello! Would love your thoughts on joining the publishing Accelerator Program with a cost of $7800. I already joined the AIA publishing program and I am in the process of publishing my first book. The accelerator program is more hands on with personal coaching. Is it worth it?
Accelerator didn't exist when I started, so you can be successful without it. However knowing what I know now after selling 100's of thousands of books I would have joined to become successful faster.
I read somewhere that once you sign up for the course, you are then presented with an upsell, meaning another $8k to join a personalized version of the course. Is this true and is it a requirement to be successful?
I don't know much about any other offers I joined early on but it's possible. I know there is an accelerator program, but I think it's by application due to size constraints.
You don't need anything besides the course to be successful. I do have some free stuff for you should you sign up; I just haven't announced it yet (finalizing things)
trevorsomerville.com/aiabonuses
Lol how can you lie so much and keep a straight face
I appreciate the information. I know it’s not too much money, but that is relative to the individual, such as myself. I am currently financially tapped. Sadly, I would have the time to work on it. Hopefully my current situation will change and I can take advantage of this opportunity.
Thanks for the comment. I’m currently working on a bonus around this subject. Lots of people join using affirm to make smaller monthly payments and I want to give them the tools to succeed without any budget to start.
That being said I’d just learn what you can for free and save up and join when you’re ready.
thank you for your insight
Glad it was helpful. Feel free to email me if you have any questions about it.
I keep hearing if you decide its not for you, they refuse to refund? Why? You just said it could take a yr for one book to pay??
Read their refund policy; it's very generous. People join for months, don't even attempt to publish a book, and want their money back after taking all the resources. You can change your mind in the first few days and get your money back. However, if you join long term, I believe they want you to publish a book first. They even pay you $500 for completing your book and the program.
Really appreciate your level-headed perspective here, Trevor ...
I just watched their full 2 hr video ... Just two questions:
1) If AI does all the work, why do I need to pay an average fee of $800 to a ghost writer?
2) I'm a writer ... will my path to success be any easier or quicker?
Thanks for watching. Well the reality is when this video was created AI was pretty new and more of an assistant. Now it can write whole books and will only get better. If you’re a writer you certainly don’t need to pay a ghost writer and you have a clear advantage although AI is leveling the playing field.
@@TrevorSomerville Thx much for the prompt reply Trevor ...
What actually is it you sold when you said you sold your business for six figures? Did you just sell all the rights and royalties for the books that you had online, meaning the buyer now receives all that revenue? Or is there something more that you gave up i.e. contacts and emails, etc?
When you sell your business, they take over your whole publishing account and own the rights to your books and anything else you agree on, such as a website or mailing list, etc. Consider a publishing business the same as owning a piece of real estate.
@@TrevorSomerville But there is nothing stopping you from starting a new one from scratch. Correct?
@@chrishimsl1321 Correct. You just obviously can't publish in the same niche, and that's covered in the contract typically.
Do you have the link to the podcast you did w/ the twins?
I don't have it on me, but if you search my name on their channel it should come up.
As I look around, Trevor is an employee & his job is pumping AI... If I am incorrect, please let me know...
I'm not an employee. Just a long term student. Watch some of my other videos I share my royalty dashboards and things like that which might explain why I wouldn't want a job :)
how come I cant find any of your books on amazon/kindle?
I don't publish books under my name; they're all under pen names. This is how most (90%) of self-publishers do it, but me, especially because of TH-cam. If I were public, they would be copied many times (unfortunately).
Check out some of my other review videos I show my royalties and stuff like that.
So you just gave us a redirect to your $2K course! I'm really interested but can't swing that much cash.
Hey Dan. Correct, if you buy the course through my link I give you a bunch of bonuses to help you create a six figure business with it.
You can pay for it monthly through Affirm or just keep learning on TH-cam and save up.
Please don't waste your money
Is it possible to learn how to sell books on Amazon without paying for the course ? What about people that can’t afford these courses especially today when inflation has affected many of us .
@TrevorSomerville so what you're saying is that this is legit but you need to put in a little work to make it happen?
All I'm seeing and hearing is canadaian and US dollars is this even possible outside of US and Canada?
Those who have published books but not made money, what is your oppinion on that?
Have a great day hope to hear from you soon
Hey Joshua. Yes watch some of my other videos I show you the royalties I’ve earned. The course is great but requires some work at first to get going. You can be paid in most currencies and do this from any country I get paid in USD and am in Canada.
I’d say it’s impossible to complete the course and publish a book and not make money. The people not making any money either never publish a book or don’t know what they’re doing because they didn’t take a course.

03:13 That guy calling the twins a scam is a scam himself. I left a comment explaining to him why he was wrong and he deleted it in less than 2 minutes. He is making his money, like others, just calling it a scam.
How much money have you made profit not net profit for Aia publishing?
Averaging 100k or so a year profit on this new account. It could be more but I prefer to spend less time on ads. More if you want to include audiobooks and expanded distribution.
@@TrevorSomerville what other e commerce do you recommend?
@@jomedial I don't recommend anything but self-publishing for beginners.
Run the other way folks. No one will take time away from making money, to help you make money. 😂 Who uses paper checks now? Find what you love. How does this guy know who signed up, and who didn't? He doesn't! Write an ebook on what you know about, but whatever you do, do not send this guy a dime. Honest!❤
@@Judy-et4ex Clearly, you're interested in the course if you're leaving all these comments. If it's out of your budget right now why not start watching some videos on TH-cam to get your first book out.
I need more information. I’m ready to start
Hi Paty. I can answer any questions you have right here :)
And here is the bonuses I offer when you sign up with me: trevorsomerville.com/aiabonuses/
Dot waste your money it’s a scam
i dont even have the money for a course like that right now, but the idea is genius creating a digital book with AI, its getting the work done takes time and and money paying for ghostwriters
Yeah, it's a massive opportunity. If I were you, I'd keep watching videos and learning and just save up for the course. Alternatively, you could make monthly payments with Affirm. In my bonuses, I also cover starting with little to no money because that's what I had to do.
I have a question. I actually joined the AI publishing academy and I am in the process of publishing my first book. They are now offering me to join the publishing accelerator program with a cost of $7800. Is this worth it to join?
Accelerator didn't exist when I started, so you can be successful without it. However knowing what I know now after selling 100's of thousands of books I would have joined to become successful faster.
You give them $1500 to learn how to generate a book using AI. Then up to you to find a publisher who believes in you and wants to print your AI book.
There is no finding a publisher we self publish through platforms like Amazon and Audible. The old days of needing a publisher are long gone.
It isn’t a GIFT.. you need to work at it.. and if you don’t read or understand words well, you should do something else.. because in the end, you are responsible for the content of the books.. Some sell well, some don’t.. you can’t expect to be wildly successful the first month. And this program is like any other education, trade school or University/College. It is information. Your effort afterwords is what makes it worth it or not. And like I said, if you don’t make time to read you won’t understand how to make a good book or pamphlet for other people who do that. If you just pick a topic, farm out all the work and expect 20K a month.. you will be disappointed.
I absolutely agree. If people put the same effort into AIA and publishing as they with any traditional education, they would be very pleased with the results.
Just another scammer. Never answers the question. Which means it's probably a scam.
My 999th scam comment. Too bad you almost won a prize.
This is probably the video you're looking for:
th-cam.com/video/0xBVsVReaDI/w-d-xo.html&t
This is such a biased unrealistic review. Your goals was views and to advocate for these people. Waiting a year to make 2000.00 back is insane. Just stop.
You’re right it is biased. That’s what happens when you make six figures a year from what you learned in a course.
Bottom line is if you don't put the effort you won't see the results everyone who is trying to debunk the twins are just the type of people who are ignorant but yet are making content for there own formula for making it on the net.
Exactly. Beautifully summarized.
Honest opinion, I didnt have the money to purchase, but the concept seems profitable (since royalties is one of the easiest passive incomes). I have never sold books on Amazon and there is a lot to know to start. It seems reasonable that someone would take the time to shorten that learning curve and provide their knowledge for a price. The price is reasonable (considering I paid over 75k on a Macc degree that earns me under 50k year). Im looking to get into this program due to all of the papers I have written in college, that I could put it to use, and if it just earned me 1k a month of passive income after creation, Id be happy!! Thank you for the video!
Thanks for watching! And yes, I always tell people the money I wasted on the university is 20x more, and there are no refunds. 1k is extremely easy, and a lot of the time, people can get that done with their first book if they follow the course and don't deviate. If I were you id save up and then use Affirm to make payments I think you can get them as low as $70 a month. That's one of the bonuses I'm working on to help people get that first 1k a month without spending anything.
Total plant. Like every comment.
Do you enjoy scamming people?
@@davidmorrison803 You're about three years too late with your scam comment. There are about 500 of those on my original video from three years ago.
th-cam.com/video/0tmLySqPZF4/w-d-xo.html
Did you buy the course or do anything with it
You can see "ME" here. Not you can see "MYSELF" here.
Thanks, Mike. Although the fact you had to edit your comment makes me think you would make mistakes speaking as well, lol.
Get to the point Scam or Legit?
Yeah this wasn't the best video I made on the topic. Check out this play list it will be more helpful.
th-cam.com/play/PLryaEnEW4jy3skP-EACNIqhKUOtFc5UV9.html
And here are the bonuses I'm offering for new students who sign up on this page:
trevorsomerville.com/aiabonuses
Omg this guy is using a scam to sell his scam. Please don’t fall for this stuff people, these people are predators.
I’m talking about people like you in the video actually. Calls a publishing course a scam, has never taken the course.
Anyone looking for reviews on this course go through my AIA play list I have videos covering most the questions I get asked and show my royalties and stuff like that.
I think if a course is legit, and almost guarantee results, then it can be 100% refunded if student didn't make ROI in the first 6 months, providing proof of time and effort vested.
Hey Eddie. They have an amazing refund policy up to a year and the only requirement is that you actually publish a book the way they teach. And if you do they will also give you $500 back for following through.
If you have any questions about the bonus package let me know.
trevorsomerville.com/aiabonuses
I still haven't found an individual or a company, who can give me a process for converting & selling a successful paperback, as an E-Book, on Amazon. Imagine that ..., if you can ...? I have an audience of several million, I'm a successful entrepreneur in Billiards. It seems the E-book business is a secret...
Well you have found the right course if that is your goal. However I have no idea what the demand if for books in the Billiards space.
It's not hard at all, just find a person with publishing experience (perhaps a graphic designer) to go through the creation process for you on KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) or look for videos here that explain for free how to do it.
I just did a Google search for "find people to create e-books" and got an AI-generated response from Quora. Seems like a good outline.

Hiring people to create eBooks for you can be a great way to leverage the skills of professionals to produce high-quality content. Here are some steps you can follow to hire eBook creators:
Define Your Requirements: Before you start looking for eBook creators, it's important to clearly define your requirements. Consider the topic, length, style, target audience, and any specific guidelines you have in mind for the eBook.
Find eBook Creators: There are several ways to find eBook creators:
- Freelance Platforms: Websites like Upwork, Freelancer, Fiverr, and Guru allow you to post your project requirements and connect with freelance eBook writers and designers.
- Content Creation Agencies: There are agencies specializing in content creation that can provide eBook writing and design services.
- Referrals: Ask for recommendations from your network or in online communities related to writing and publishing.
Review Portfolios and Samples: Once you have a list of potential eBook creators, review their portfolios and samples to assess the quality of their work. Look for experience in writing eBooks in your niche or industry.
Discuss Project Details: Reach out to the eBook creators you are interested in working with and discuss the project details. Make sure to communicate your requirements, timeline, budget, and any other relevant information.

Payment: Once you are satisfied with the eBook, make the final payment to the eBook creator as per the agreed terms.
By following these steps, you can hire eBook creators to help you produce high-quality eBooks that align with your goals and objectives.
Why are you talkin about other people and not the course ???
I think you just landed on the wrong video I've done several on the course.
th-cam.com/play/PLryaEnEW4jy3skP-EACNIqhKUOtFc5UV9.html&si=nBYoh30uKXvhUqcS
Because it’s a scam
Wow, your own video is almost a scam. You are obviously a fun boy. the only useful bit of information is that the seminar is designed to decide people and that their claims may be a bit exaggerated.
That’s an interesting take but I admit this wasn’t my best video. You should watch one of the other five I did I show my royalties and how the program works.
m.th-cam.com/video/_H4nqRF4OKw/w-d-xo.html&t
Let's ask for the gentleman's tax return. 😅
So let me guess you think me showing you all those royalties is also a scam? Pretty typical. Hey id get you a tax return but then you'd say it was fake too.
Scammer
Thanks for watching. Id love to hear about how I'm a scammer.
