Cue exciting music … dim the lights …
Indie Author Power Pack!
Including 3 of the top-selling books for indie authors
PLUS/ a 1 hour exclusive conversation – never heard before – with me, David Gaughran, Sean Platt & Johnny B.
The PowerPack is at 99c for a very short time in an exclusive deal, and even if you have all the books already, it's worth it for the extra audio in my humble opinion!
Here's what you get in more detail:
Second Edition of How To Market a Book.
I always intended the book to be more about strategies and attitudes to marketing, rather than specific tactics. The second edition is not a radical change to the first, and I'm pleased that most of the information still holds true. However, I have changed so this edition includes updated information about what has worked in my own author life.
There's a new chapter on the pros and cons of exclusivity, as well as using box-sets as part of author collaboration. There's a new section on marketing with visual content, as well as the specifics of SlideShare, and the video and multimedia chapters are updated with new examples.
There's a whole new chapter on using ACX for audiobooks and information on how to market audio specifically. Pre-orders are now included in the launch section, although this is a recent development and the best practices have yet to be teased out in detail.
PLUS/ The Second Edition of Let's Get Digital by David Gaughran
It includes details on how the publishing industry has been disrupted and practical, hands-on advice on the very latest best practices on editing, cover design, formatting, and pricing.
It gives you proven marketing strategies that won’t eat into your writing time and are actually effective at selling books. It also shares tips on platform building, blogging, and social networking, and explains which approaches are best for selling fiction versus non-fiction, and what writers should really focus on.
This new updated 2nd edition now has more options for those on a tighter budget, teaches you how to get your book into print (and why that helps selling e-books), tells you why you should start a mailing list immediately, and shares the pros and cons of going exclusive with Amazon.
Even if you're an experienced indie, you'll find some fascinating insights in the interview section of the book where some of the indie success stories share their tips.
PLUS/ Write, Publish, Repeat – from Johnny B. Truant and Sean Platt with David Wright
In Write. Publish. Repeat., they tell you exactly how they did it: how they created over 15 independent franchises across 50+ published works, how they turned their art into a logical, sustainable business, and how any independent author can do the same to build a sustainable, profitable career with their writing.
Write. Publish. Repeat. explains the current self-publishing landscape and covers the truths and myths about what it means to be an indie author now and in the foreseeable future. It explains how to create books your readers will love and will want to return to again and again.
It details expert methods for building story worlds, characters, and plots, understanding your market (right down to your ideal reader), using the best tools possible to capture your draft, and explains proven best practices for editing.
The book also discusses covers, titles, formatting, pricing, and publishing to multiple platforms, plus a bit on getting your books into print (and why that might not be a good idea!). But most importantly, Write. Publish. Repeat. details the psychology-driven marketing plan that Sean and Johnny built to shape their stories into “products” that readers couldn't help but be drawn into — thus almost automatically generating sales — and explores ways that smart, business-minded writers can do the same to future-proof their careers.
This book is not a formula with an easy path to follow. It is a guidebook that will help you build a successful indie publishing career, no matter what type of writer you are … so long as you're the type who's willing to do the work.
PLUS/ Exclusive conversation in video, audio and transcript
To make this promotion exciting for even the people who already have all 3 books, we organized a private Google+ Hangout and the four of us talked about a whole load of things for both new authors and more advanced stuff.
The chat is available in audio, video and text transcript and includes:
- The epic fails we have had as authors and how to reframe failure
- Tips for people with just one book
- How to begin building your publishing empire
- Thoughts on KDP Select, Kindle Unlimited and Amazon Publishing
- On making assets and a long term career as a storyteller
- How to build your own confidence as an author and as an entrepreneur over time
- Author branding and reinvention
PLUS/ some personal things that you might not know about the four of us … even if you're a long term listener of my podcast or SPP!
I know you want this deal 🙂
Please pre-order or buy now on one of these fantastic stores!
PLUS/ You can ask us all questions live on the March to a Bestseller Facebook event – Fri 7 Nov

1 2 Next »You and your associates are awesome. This couldn't have been offered at a better time. For coming up on a year, I've been promoting my debut novel The Forgotten Gemstone at local conventions in Canada. I decided to focus my first year on writing my next book, direct selling, pitching my story to readers, and networking. As the first year winds down, I'm already itching to start planning out my second year with a focus on marketing online. I already have a website set up, with a newsletter, and have done a little online marketing, but that's about it. A couple of days ago I nearly bought How To Market a Book so I could start the next phase of marketing and am so thankful for deciding to wait until November arrived to make the purchase, and then The Author Power Pack arrived. This is such an amazing deal and arrived at the perfect time. Thank you!
Thanks Kit - enjoy :)
Just pre-ordered this wonderful bundle. I already have Write.Publish.Repeat. but couldn't pass up this fantastic deal at only 99c.
Joanna, David, Johnny, and Sean are self publishing experts that you MUST follow on their various social medias if you want to keep up in this fast paced age of the indie.
Thank you Joanna
Thanks Waymon - we're very happy with the bundle :)
Also preordered it too. Great package and titles I had been thinking about for a while, but now no excuse. Shared everywhere too. All the best.
Done. I'm such a pushover, Joanna! :-D
Great resources and a great deal. I've already got the print version of your book, but couldn't pass up this package. I pre-ordered and tweeted. I'm sure this will be a success!
Crazy good deal... preordered!!! These books are worth a lot more! :)
Wow! This is a fantastic deal - thanks Joanna and The Boys. I've placed my pre-order. ;-)
The only one of these books I haven't read yet is David's, so I look forward to that very much AND to watching/listening to your google hangout. Can't wait.
Joanna, I bought this pack on Amazon.com and then spread the word on Facebook. One of my friends tells me he tried to buy the pack, too, on Amazon.in but was not able to. Don't know why you would ignore a major (even if potential) market. I checked out Amazon.in, too, and did not find the pack.
Hi Venkatesh, The book will be available everywhere on Nov 3rd - it's just that Amazon doesn't support pre-orders in every market. It looks like India is one of them, also Malaysia. Of course we wouldn't ignore India!
I already have all three books, but I couldn't resist getting the pack just for the special podcast. I listen to SPP and your podcast all the time and love all of you guys, so it was a no-brainer! :)
Thanks Mallika - we did hope the extra audio/video/transcript would be enough of a draw!
Joanna, a quick question: when would the special podcast be available and how? When the pack launches in a few days, as a link inside the power-pack book?
Yes, the links are in the book - there's a YouTube vid and downloadable audio link and the transcript is just part of the ebook - so you'll get access to it on 3 Nov - thanks!
Done. Sold. You guys are awesome.
