Believe.

I believe each of us has a unique gift to share with the world. For the first time ever, technology offers us the opportunity to make a living from our passion without needing permission. The world is your oyster - go get it.​

It's time to profit from your passion.

The new world of work is fascinating – especially for creative people, entrepreneurs, makers, crafters, or anyone interested in starting their own business. During the industrial age, people "auditioned" for the opportunity to have their creative endeavor released into the world. Those days are ending. Today, if you want to publish a book, open an online store, start a magazine or invent a new product you can – without having to audition to anyone.

That's what Black Pearl Publishing is all about. We want to empower individuals to do what they love and profit from their passion. And never before has it been easier to earn a living from your craft. There's a well-known theory called "1000 true fans", originated by Kevin Kelly, which means that you only need 1000 true fans to make a living. A true fan is defined as a fan that will buy anything you produce. If each of your 1000 true fans paid $80 for your product or service, you would earn $80,000. And with over 7 billion people on the planet, you should be able to find 1000 true fans.

Building your brand, an audience, and keeping it active won't be easy. However, earning a living from what you love to do is very rewarding. We provide knowledge, guidance, tools, and inspiration towards reaching your 1000 true fans (and beyond) and how to earn a living from your craft.​

It is an excellent time for creative people, entrepreneurs, makers, crafters, and small business owners. The world is your oyster, challenge the status quo, and be unique.

Established in 2020

The COVID-19 Coronavirus crisis showed many of us the benefits of digital services. Unfortunately, many people also learned how fragile their employment is. It's time to have more control of your finances by generating your own income (even if on the side).

The Goal

It's never been easier to start your own business, and technology has given you the ability to share your work with the world without permission. The goals is to create a sustainable revenue stream that allows the freedom to spend time doing what you love.

Human Relations

Shelby was rescued from the Humane Society many years ago. Since joining the team, she keeps track of where the humans are at all times.

Just Like You

If money weren't an issue, I would spend my time with the people (and dogs) I care about most while working on my craft. I'm walking the talk. I experiment with a variety of methods, and I'll be sharing some pearls of wisdom about what works and what doesn't so you don't have to learn the hard way.​
