COACHING
Author Collaboration Accelerator
Whether you are an influencer or organization looking to bring together authors to share your collective knowledge, selfpublishing.com has you covered.
For way too long there have been publishing companies producing author collaborations, without any true marketing strategy or consulting beyond the initial launch. The result? Books sitting on Amazon five years later with only 8 reviews and not having the impact they are capable of having. Finally there is a better option.

Coaching
We partner each collection of authors with a bestselling, experienced author as a personal coach to provide you with customized strategic support.
Hands on Coaching
Over 2 Million new books were published in 2022. Every single one of them is unique, and your collaboration is no different. We spend six group coaching calls working with the entire team of collaborators on how to craft a well-written book, put together a plan to publish and market your bestseller, and everything you need to know to use it as a tool to build your brand, grow your business, or share an impactful message.

Book Production
We handle 100% of the cover design and formatting to ensure your book is beautiful, inside and out. You will work collaboratively with our design team to make sure you end with a design tailored to your ideal target market.
Book Cover Design
You've been lied to all these years. The truth is: yes, people do judge a book by its cover. We’ve seen this again and again with the thousands of authors who come to us for help with self-publishing or marketing their existing self-published book. You’ll work with your coach and our design team to create a cover that not only attracts your ideal reader, but one that is created based on genre research so your sales last beyond your book launch.
Professional Formatting
Formatting is the final stage in the book production process and having a well-formatted book is critical to becoming a bestselling author! The experience a person has while reading your book and how it looks is just as important as your book's cover. Our professional design team will format your book for digital and print while ensuring your book’s look and feel is the highest quality, inside and out.

Publishing
The beauty of selfpublishing.com is that you get all of the benefits of traditional publishing, without the strings attached. We handle all of the publishing logistics on your behalf, with you maintaining 100% of the rights, royalties, and creative freedom.
Best of Both Worlds Publishing
We handle all of the publishing in the same way a traditional publisher would, but with you, the organization or influencer, as the publisher. The best part? You keep 100% of your rights and royalties. You also retain full ownership and control over your content, pricing, and marketing strategies.
Categories, Keywords, & Book Description
There are 7,500 new Kindle books published every day, which makes choosing the right categories and keywords the best way to give your book a fighting chance of being noticed (and purchased!) by your ideal readers. Our team will analyze search volume, measure category competition, and help you optimize your book description for consistent sales.
Worldwide Book Distribution
We’ll set up worldwide distribution everywhere Amazon sells. This includes ebook distribution and Amazon’s print-on-demand feature, which doesn’t require you to manage fulfillment or inventory for online purchases. Someone buys and Amazon prints and ships it. In addition, all collaborators will have the ability to order author copies at the wholesale cost of printing (typically $3.50-$5.00 per book), maximizing the profit on sales for all authors working on the project.

Marketing Done-For-You
Successful book marketing starts with a great book. After you have a great book, your goal is to get it into the hands of your ideal readers. We’re cutting through the clutter to help equip you with what are the most important tools and tactics to market your book successfully.
Book Promotion Websites
Partnering with book promotion websites is a powerful way to market your book to your ideal readers, but in an ever-growing industry like ours, finding the right ones can be challenging! As part of your launch, our team will research and pay for ten book promotions on your behalf to market your book to upwards of 300,000+ potential readers who have opted in to hear about books in your genre.
90 Days of Social Media
Social media is one of the most impactful ways you can market your book, and yet it can be difficult to get started. What do you post? Will it attract the right followers? Will it actually help you sell books? Your coach will help you create a sustainable social media marketing strategy and our social media design team will create 30 custom posts for you to use during the first 90 days of your book launch.
“From the Publisher” Amazon A+ Content
Once you have driven people to your Amazon page with well set-up SEO, a great digital marketing strategy, and a high quality cover that appeals to your ideal readers, it is now all about conversion. The biggest mistake most publishers and independent authors make is not utilizing A+ Content by Amazon. We handle 100% of the graphic design and setup to make you really stand out above the crowded Amazon landscape.
PR Game Plan After Launch
It is critical that authors prioritize PR efforts while their book is new and trending. Your entire team of authors will work with your coach to craft a game plan that helps each individual author leverage the early success of the book launch into whatever they envision next! We will coach you through the research stage, how to reach out effectively, what it takes to maximize your appearances, and even equip you with templates for your outreach.
