Questions We Hear Most Often

We work primarily with published authors, but we also support authors in the final stages of writing or approaching publication. The strategy session works best when your book is published or close to launch.

It is a 30-minute conversation with one of our author consultants. We review your book, your current platform and marketing situation, and give you an honest assessment of your revenue potential across the five income streams. There is no pitch, no pressure, and no obligation to engage our services.

We share complete pricing information during your strategy session, after we understand your specific situation and goals. Every engagement is tailored, so pricing depends on which services are most relevant to you. There are no lock-in contracts.

Absolutely. We handle the technical side — website, email systems, ad accounts, Amazon listings. You bring the expertise and the book. We build everything else. Most of our clients had never run a social media ad or sent an email newsletter before working with us.

The timeline varies by author and genre, but our case studies show meaningful income typically appearing within 3–6 months of implementation. Full activation of all five revenue streams generally takes 12–18 months. We will give you a realistic projection based on your specific book and market during the strategy session.
