Book Marketing
You must optimize your book listing, have a catchy title and subtitle, a great book cover and a professionally designed and edited book FIRST because putting marketing dollars into a book with poor reviews or mistakes and blunders will not entice people to buy the book. If you are driving traffic to your book, you want it to be worthy of an immediate BUY!
STOKE assists authors looking to be supported as they get their marketing efforts off the ground. We also like to empower the authors to take control of their marketing because no one markets a book better than the author. Doing one marketing task a day can go a long way!
Author Website – Design Only $697
If you need a professional author website so readers can find your “home” online, look no further.
Your website becomes your “command center” in the virtual world, and you can feature content that best represents your brand and book(s), including reviews, events, social media links, blog, and author profiles.
Your website can be connected to all your other accounts and allows people to contact you easily.
Some authors may think having a Facebook Page or Instagram Account is enough, but as an author in business, you must control your representation online and be in control of it. Many authors have had their social media accounts shut down, and they have lost contact with their followers and readers and had to start from the beginning again. An author’s website provides a professional online presence and puts you in control. You can also (and should) use your website and list-building strategies to grow your list and readership.
Our Author Website Package includes a 5-page author website. The author provides all the content for the five pages, but we handle the design. We use a platform that will allow you to easily update your website when needed. Our Author Website Package is for the design services and does not include your annual domain name (authorname.com) or hosting fees (the place that houses your website).
Author Audit -$197
If you want professional eyes on your Amazon listings and an audit of your entire book and author presence, this gets our eyes on all aspects of your online presence. The audit report lists all the areas that could be improved. It can include visiting your social media channels, website, author pages, and book listings on Amazon.
Positioning + Analysis: Keywords and Categories – $297
Your book’s metadata matters. This service optimizes your positioning with keywords and category placement of your book. Ideally, we optimize your 7 Amazon keywords and category placement (for both ebook and paperback in the .com market) so that upon a strategic launch, you rank well in several categories and keywords, increasing your visibility and book sales. We can run your existing keywords and categories and find alternate ones that may increase your visibility.
A+ Content – $197
If you need custom A+ Content created for your book listing, let us know and we can pull the designs together for you. We will apply best practices in using this “real estate” to promote your book.
Book Launch Planning
If you need assistance planning your book launch, we can dig into the details with you to make sure you have thought about both online and offline launching. Often a new author approaches the launch of their book from a traditional perspective and we encourage you to stretch! Launches are as unique as the books – so this is never a one size fits all approach and if you are new to this, some assistance with planning will go a long way.
