Marketing for Books

Marketing Begins with a Great Book Cover

Make Powerful Sales Copy a Priority

Your book cover is a marketing tool capable of influencing the purchase decision. This applies not just to the front cover, but to the back cover as well.

There’s a reason publishers write the sales copy for their authors’ books. Being able to write a great novel or textbook is not the same as being able to write persuasive sales copy.

We can write it for it, or help you write it yourself. We can help you with the endorsement process, writing book descriptions that communicate your book’s value, and sales bios that establish your authority as an author. We write back cover sales text that is focused, concise, and persuasive!

We can also help you with book proposals, press releases, cover letters for distributors, and more.

Thanks, Michael!  You were a great help in getting the book to market. It is getting in the right hands and starting conversations for me all over the world…
—Brian Beck, author of Billion Dollar B2B Ecommerce

“I love the back cover design you created and all of your points to consider…”
—Brian Cunningham, Curious Human Publication

Design for
Websites and Blogs

Expand your audience

Start blogging and sell directly through your own website. We can set up a WordPress site for you or design and build custom websites and blogs for authors, publishers, and business professionals.

“The website looks great!”

—Patricia A. Brill, Ph.D., Functional Fitness, LLC

Get your own custom website. We design and build custom websites and blogs using open-source WordPress, the world’s most popular content management system. We can also design and build custom landing pages for special campaigns. Create a user-friendly landing page for your book product page by including these features:

Responsive Website Design

Provide an optimal user experience, with easy reading and navigation on any device. All our website designs are “responsive,” meaning they automatically resize to desktop computers, tablets, and mobile phones.

  • Clickable book image with page previews
  • Quick-look page gallery
  • Product video
  • Social Media links
  • Purchase options

Online Purchase Options

Decide how you want to get paid. We can set up purchase options such as a button linked to an online payment system, such as PayPal, or links to online retailers, or an order form download, or any combination.

Product Display with Sample Page Preview Gallery

Let readers preview your product. We can create clickable book product display images and link them to responsive preview pages that open in a separate window. Responsive preview pages allow viewers to see your book pages as spreads when using large screens, such as desktop computers.

Media Kits

Make it easier for reviewers, bloggers, and columnists to accurately represent your books and company by providing them with an online media kit. Your media kit can include the downloadable cover and author images, lists of endorsements and/or reviews, product descriptions, book brochures, and more. Media kits help you shape the narrative and protect your brand.

Landing Pages

Your product can also have separate landing pages for more targeted marketing campaigns. Landing pages provide simple and direct interaction focused just on your product. These pages are only connected to places and marketing efforts which allows you to see how your marketing strategies are driving traffic.
