About Us
Here’s the Top 20 pain points authors experience and what we attack so you can sell more books
1. "I don’t know who my target reader is."
They write books for “everyone” and end up selling to no one.
2. "II hate marketing—I just want to write."
They don’t see themselves as marketers and avoid promotion like the plague.
3. "My book is on Amazon… now what?"
They launch to crickets with no post-launch plan.
4. "Why isn’t anyone finding my book?"
Their metadata, keywords, and categories are off or missing.
5. "I don’t know what to post on social media."
They’re stuck staring at a blank screen, feeling like an imposter.
6. "My email list is tiny—or non-existent."
No lead magnet, no automation, no way to nurture future readers.
7. "I don’t want to sound salesy."
They struggle to pitch their book without feeling cringe.
8. "My book cover isn’t converting."
It’s DIY or dated and turning potential buyers away.
9. "I can’t get book reviews."
They don't have a launch team or review funnel in place.
10. "I’m overwhelmed by all the platforms."
Facebook, TikTok, Amazon Ads, BookTok—it’s too much, too fast.
11. "I don’t have time to market and write."
They need systems, not just more stuff to do.
12. "I’m not tech-savvy."
Mailchimp, BookFunnel, Canva, websites—it’s all intimidating.
13. "I don’t know how to price my book."
They’re either underpricing or overpricing with no strategy.
14. "I launched once—and that’s it."
They don’t know how to create a long-tail launch or evergreen promo cycle.
15. "I’ve tried ads. They don’t work."
Because they didn’t know how to test creatives, audiences, or retarget.
16. "I don’t know how to build a brand."
Their author brand is inconsistent, unclear, or completely invisible.
17. "I’m not sure which tools to use."
They waste time testing random platforms with no clear ROI.
18. "I feel like I’m doing this alone."
They crave guidance, mentorship, and a like-minded community.
19. "I have one book and no clue what’s next."
They don’t have a plan to turn one book into a career.
20. "I just want to know what works TODAY."
They’re tired of outdated advice from forums and YouTube rabbit holes.
