Publishing.com, founded by the Mikkelsen twins in 2019, has been implicated in a Federal Trade Commission investigation amid complaints of high-pressure sales tactics and deceptive practices regarding its courses.
Customers allege that Publishing.com pressured them into taking on debt to afford training programs, with one complaint stating, 'They constantly say to use credit cards, borrow money, put yourself in debt to afford this program.'
While Publishing.com promotes itself as a platform for anyone to publish books, its disclaimer notes there are no guaranteed financial gains from using its products, raising questions about its marketing practices.
Critics like Vox have described the output from Publishing.com users as 'garbage books,' arguing these products contribute to a cluttered e-book market and serve more as schemes than educational tools.
