Projects

First time author consistently in the top 10 of her category

Pam first came to me unsure of her cover and confused as to what marketing tactics would work for her book.

Together we came up with a marketing plan that works for her, adjusted the cover and blurb, launched the book with a bang.

Her book is now consistently in the top 10,000 books on all of Amazon.com and maintains a spot in the top 10 of her main category.

She also maintains a log to track exactly how well her ads are performing. She uses this to make adjustments to her marketing in line with how the market shifts.

With the success of her first book, she's now eagerly working on a follow-up to the series.

3x in sales, 4x increase in book ratings

Peter came to me feeling overwhelmed and without a clear action plan to connect his book with readers.

After one month of coaching and direction - we updated his cover for under $100, optimized his blurb, categories, and keywords. We also started running advertising to his book.

The results?

His ratings increased from 16 to 65 rating and his sales shot up 3-fold!

He is now writing his next books and applying the same lessons to replicate the success.

Optimized Categories and Keywords

Mark Q came to me knowing that categories and keywords were important but not confident on how to find them. Together, we used best practices and found 8 US-based eBook categories that his book fit into. We then found an additional 6 for the UK market.

What did this get him?

Best-seller in two categories!

And another writing achievement he can show off.

Goal: Gain exposure for new author in mystery genre

We worked together over three 1-hour sessions to update and improve her cover, description, and started Amazon ads. We also worked to improve her website to capture email addresses and build her following. Since she was in KDP Select, we worked together to organized a price promotion where her book would be discounted temporarily to reach a new audience.

Results: Her book was downloaded 3,625 times in ONE DAY! and jumped up to #45 on all of Kindle. She added dozens of emails to her list and grew her following to prepare for an even better launch of her second book.

2592.66% increase in page reads in just 4 months

Despite a fantastic book, Avery struggled to gain traction, investing hours in Facebook groups, newsletter swaps, and blogger outreach with minimal results.

One transformative coaching session with us led to a tailored marketing plan that suited her budget and genre. In just four months, her income and sales soared.

Page reads leaped from 6,454 (June 2020) to a staggering 173,784 (Sept 2020). With only two books, she generated nearly $1,400 and amassed over 500 ratings on one book alone!

As a writer new to the world of marketing, JD offered me tremendous value and insight at a very reasonable price point. Knowledgeable, kind, and a natural coach, JD knows how to make authors feel comfortable and prepared. Self-publication can be scary, and I gained a lot of confidence from his expertise and guidance. He has great written and spoken communication, and all his training materials ...

JD is the real deal. He took the time to understand me, my interests in writing/publishing, and what I wanted to accomplish with my book. He analyzed it from top to bottom. I had an (ineffective) plan in my head. The best thing I did was hire JD, scrap my plan, and listen to him. He walked me through a marketing plan, helped me get the proper ads set up to generate consistent sales, and was a p...

Working with JD has been a pleasure. He's always patient and accommodating. He's knowledgeable about what he's talking about and will give you honest opinions (which I live for). He's helped me in the pre-launching stages of my book and eased a lot of nerves and the overwhelming tasks and made them simpler. He explains things well and takes his time and is always welcome to questions.

I've looked all over for help with marketing my projects. JD is the only person who gave a broad overview, provided a plan, and gave me the tools and research to execute it. The response to questions is excellent. The meetings and videos are extremely helpful. He is patient with a novice like me, and also those who are among the higher maintenance people he coaches. Everything else I've tried h...

JD is a game-changer for authors striving to succeed in the competitive publishing world. After self-publishing since 2018 with over a dozen books, I was still struggling to gain traction with my marketing efforts. I tried numerous services and courses, but nothing clickedโ€”until I started working with JD. He quickly pinpointed where I was missing the mark and has helped me turn clicks into sale...
