Why Isn’t My Book Selling?

You’ve got a book. As far as you’re concerned, you’ve done all the right things.

The cover is good.

The book is AWESOME.

The description is great.

BUT IT’S JUST NOT SELLING.

Let me help you out. I’ve written over twenty books in several different genre and hit the USA Today bestseller list– twice.

Within three months of putting out my first novel, I was making a solid four figures a month and haven’t looked back. I matched and then replaced my husband’s income.

My books have made it into the top 200 of the whole Amazon store and sold thousands of copies with millions of page reads.

And I’ve worked hard for it.

I’ve studied the market. I’ve honed my blurb-writing. I have studied and tested ads–all in multiple genres. I’ve had successes and I’ve had failures. I’ve read books, taken courses, worked one-on-one with coaches, and continue to grow and adapt as the market changes.

With this new service, I will take a look at your sales page on Amazon and will give you specific, actionable changes you can make to help you sell more books. 

This may include tweaks to your description, cover updates, or ways to target new readers. Some suggestions might cost money. Let’s keep it real: books don’t sell without promotion. But I’m a bootstrapper at heart and don’t like wasting my money or yours.

I want to help you sell more books without breaking the bank. (Or your spirit.)

You can choose one of two options: get your feedback via email or via zoom call. Both packages will include an email with action items, but the second package offers a 30-minute private coaching call (via zoom or phone) where we can talk it out or cover any other concerns.

Let me help you sell more books!

I can’t wait to work with you! I want to see your book selling just as much as you do.

Let’s get to it!!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING…

This past spring I decided to venture into writing sweet-clean romance. I didn’t know if I could do it, so I sought Kirsten out to ask her input and expertise. She took me under her wing and coached me through the steps of refining my manuscript, gathering the right kinds of beta and ARC readers, pricing my book, advertising my book, and even helped me discern the types of support and exposure the book needed. She didn’t only help this book become a successfully launched publication, she set me on the path to write the next books in series with confidence and skills I didn’t have before I worked with her.

FAQ

How does this work? 

As soon as you enter your payment info via paypal, you’ll be taken to a google form. Fill that out, then I’ll get an email with all your information and will get started. If you choose the option with the zoom call, I’ll be in touch scheduling that call. I take these first come, first serve, and will let you know the wait time. I generally should take one week to get feedback to you, but if I have a lot of clients, I’ll be setting up a different schedule.

What will you give me? 

If you choose the email option, you’ll receive an email from me with 3-5 action steps that I believe will increase your sales. Some of these may cost money. That’s just part of the way it works to sell books. But I am very budget conscious and will suggest options that are free and low-cost as well wherever possible.

What are your qualifications? 

My books sales speak for themselves. But I have also worked with a number of authors in different genres and been active in this space for years. I’ve also interviewed other successful authors and tested a lot of things with my books and with others. I’ve spoken at a number of summits, conferences, and writing events on everything from writing to market to metadata. In terms of my writing, I also hold an MFA in Fiction. Doesn’t hold a ton of weight in terms of marketing, but it’s considered the terminal degree you can achieve in fiction.

What exactly will you look at? 

I’m going to check out your sales page and identify the weak points, and also the strong points that could be stronger. I’m going to look at your blurb, your cover, your reviews, and even your look inside page. I will also look at the comparable books in your category to make sure I understand the overall landscape of what you’re trying to sell and what is selling in your niche.

What if you can’t help me?

I cannot guarantee sales. I can, however, assure you that I have done this successfully for my books as well as helped other authors bring their books to the tops of their categories and increase sales through help with blurbs, promotion, covers, and ads. If I look at your book listing and feel like I can’t help you, I’ll refund your money.
