What We Offer 

 

Together, we provide a service bundle for writers and authors to promote their work and spotlight their writings and publications on multiple platforms. Working as a mini-book and author tour via social media, there are five main stages to our book marketing service:

 

1. Firstly, our authors are invited to an online zoom interview which Lachlan conducts. This video is distributed on Lachlan’s YouTube Channel (Author on Author Interviews). To ensure this video has optimal outreach, it is boosted to reach over 200 viewers on YouTube, and will also be distributed across various social media platforms including Twitter, YouTube and Facebook. 

2. Secondally, the audio version of the interview will be distributed across Lachlan’s Podcasting Network (also titled Author on Author Interviews), as well as linked onto the next portion of the service. 

3. Olivia will write an in-depth blog post reviewing the author’s aspirations, their novel, and achievements to date, while highlighting the release date of his or her novel. The interview, as well as links to the author’s book and website, will be attached. 

4. The blog post and associated links to the interview will be distributed across our social media platforms, as well as on our Facebook group. We will ensure the author has optimal outreach across the primary social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram). We will go even further to add the rating and review to affiliated Amazon and Goodreads listings.

5. Finally, we want to ensure the author has ongoing outreach in the community. Every month or so, we will check back in on the author and ask if they’d like anything else promoted across our sites such as release dates, reviews, etcetera.  

 

The total cost for these services is $100 US. Being established author promoters, we want to ensure our authors have the best possible outreach. The book marketing world is a hard nut to crack, and we believe any author is capable of succeeding through the proper implementation of book marketing strategies.

 

What We Ask From You 

 

For optimal outreach across multiple platforms, we ask for a physical arc copy of your novel if available. This will help create authentic, unique content for Instagram and Twitter, as well as the article, to post and promote the book. 

 

If you have written a series and would like multiple books promoted at the same time, this can also be arranged. Bear in mind that the cost of promotion + book reviews will increase per book you wish to promote.

 

Other than that, that’s all we ask! We will also provide the questions that Lachlan will ask during the author interview, so you’ll have plenty of time to prepare your answers.

 

Timeline for our service

 

The review process may take up to 4-6 weeks to complete. Once Olivia has completed her review of the book, we will then schedule the release date of the author interview on YouTube, as well as on various podcasting networks. 

 

It may then take some time to build traction from the interview (generally 2-3 weeks) before releasing the blog post and review across social media. 

 

If you wish to plan your book release simultaneously with the release of your book review and blog post, keep in mind that the expected timeframe for stages 1-4 is two months. 

 

 

Questions

 

If you have any questions about any stage in this process, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us on our social media platforms. We’re a friendly crew and we genuinely want to see you thrive in the book marketing world. 

 

Thank you and all the best!

Lachlan and Olivia
