The day in detail
Morning sessions
The morning sessions are about how to create your product and your platform. The afternoon sessions focus in on marketing – with an emphasis on the techniques most suitable for newer authors.
Welcome and intro
With Harry Bingham
A short welcome – plus one author’s story of how going indie blasted his career to a whole new level of sales.
Rachel Abbott in conversation
With Rachel Abbott
One of the UK’s first self-pub superstars, Rachel’s books have sold in their millions. Here she talks about how it all started, where she is today – and what she’s learned.
Your book and Amazon page
With Harry Bingham
All you need to know about building your book and your product page. The emphasis of this session is on how to maximise sales, rather than how to master any particular tech.
Reader magnets and email list
With Harry Bingham
Building a strong email list is the rock at the base of nearly all indie marketing success. Harry runs through the basics of building that list and how to deploy it around book launch.
Afternoon sessions
Creating your cover design
With David Gaughran
Your cover is a key conversion element: it’s got to be right. David explains how to commission a cover that will be right for your audience.
How Amazon works
With David Gaughran
As an indie author, you need to understand how Amazon markets books – and how it chooses which ones to push. David reveals all.
Email marketing
Panel
We discuss how to make a success of your email marketing, from maximising deliverability to finding the right voice.
Book promotion sites
With David Gaughran
Book promo sites (such as BookBub or Robin Reads) are simple, cost effective tools for promoting your book. All brilliant starter tools.
Ad platforms
With David Gaughran
Digital marketing makes it easy to advertise – and easy to waste money. An expert advertiser himself, David helps you navigate the platforms.
The day will end with a short round-up and a general Q&A
