Question 1

Q1. How are your marketing programs different?

Accepted Answer

We take a different approach from most book marketing services. Instead of jumping straight into ads or social media, we start with strategy, understanding your goals, audience, and book positioning—so every move supports long-term visibility and continued sales rather than quick sales.

Our programs are built specifically for independent authors, focusing on cost-effective methods that help you sell more books while maintaining full creative and financial control. We don’t use cookie-cutter packages. Instead, we do the heavy lifting initially and then collaborate with you through personalized coaching and implementation support, giving you the knowledge and tools to manage your marketing confidently. Afterall, we are only with you for several months.

We focus on credibility and discoverability, emphasizing reviews, metadata, book awards, and visibility with libraries, bookstores, and book clubs. Our campaigns are guided by real data and proven results, not hype or outdated tactics. The result is a clear, sustainable marketing plan that reduces stress and helps you stay focused on what matters most: connecting your book with readers and allowing you to continue writing books.

Also, instead of charging you the full marketing cost upfront, we make it simple by dividing it into affordable monthly payments. This way, you can plan your budget with ease—and know that we’ll be by your side every step of the way.

Question 2

Q2. What if I want to handle my own marketing. Can you still help?

Accepted Answer

Some authors have the time and motivation to market their own books, and we understand that, because we’ve done it ourselves as a publisher. To help you succeed, we provide expert guidance, structure, and the knowledge you need to market with confidence and clarity.

We start by helping you define your audience, message, and goals so your marketing feels focused and authentic rather than scattered or overwhelming. You’ll learn what to prioritize, where to invest your time and budget, and how to build a repeatable system that keeps your book visible over time.

Through personalized coaching and practical tools, we show you how to plan effective campaigns, use online retailers and social media strategically, attract reviews, and connect with libraries, bookstores, and book clubs. You stay in full control of your marketing while avoiding the confusion and trial-and-error that come with doing it all on your own.

In short, we make self-marketing easier, smarter, and far more effective, all without the stress.

Question 3

Q3. Won’t getting reviews be enough?

Accepted Answer

Book reviews are important, but by themselves are rarely enough for an author to be successful. Reviews provide credibility and can persuade interested readers to buy your book. But they work best when combined with other strategies like developing a social media presence, ads, and creating content. Building credibility through book awards, media mentions, and connections with libraries or reading groups or book clubs also helps attract attention.

Ultimately, reviews are powerful social proof, but they need a marketing system around them to drive awareness, engagement, and sales.

Question 4

Q4. Can you help me set up proper distribution for my book?

Accepted Answer

Experience has taught us that selling books online takes a lot of hard work, knowledge, experience and the right skills. Throughout the years we learned how to create effective book descriptions, author biographies, proper keywords and other content that takes advantage of online algorithms. If you set your book up correctly and validate the writing with customer reviews and then promote it efficiently, you will sell books consistently.

Online selling is just one avenue for book sales. There are dozens of other ways to sell your book, and we will work with you to penetrate every channel of distribution that makes sense. We will leverage our relationships with book wholesalers, resellers, specialty stores, organizations, and bookstores to introduce your title to them.

Question 5

Q5. I keep on getting emails with enticing offerings, guaranteeing sales and reviews. Are these legit?

Accepted Answer

Authors should be cautious about emails or calls promising large numbers of book sales or reviews. Many of these offers are not legitimate and can put your account, reputation, and hard-earned money at risk.

Red flags include guarantees of sales or reviews, claims of #1 category status, or other “quick success” schemes. Be especially wary of anyone contacting you immediately after publication or a review from a reputable company like Kirkus Reviews, since this information is public and often monitored by bad actors. Also, be cautious of outreach from generic email addresses, such as Gmail accounts.

Legitimate marketing focuses on building visibility, engaging readers, and establishing credibility. It supports long-term growth rather than offering quick, guaranteed results. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
