Nick Stephenson’s Background

Nick is the best selling author of Leopold Blake, a thriller series, Supercharge your Kindle sales and Reader Magnets. He’s considered one of the most influential indie author marketing experts on the web. He has reached over a million readers with his fiction books and helped thousands more with his teaching methods.

Nick’s Approach to Online Book Marketing

Nick is using a very smart approach, he does not want to rely on book retailers, like Amazon, or other social platforms, like Facebook. Because even when you manage to sell books or products through these mediums, you have no control over the customers, you don’t even know who they are, these customers belong to the platforms.

Nick is trying to build an audience on his own and keep a relationship with his customers, afterward. He manages to do that by offering free items on large book retailers/online shops and then drive those people to his website and landing pages. From there he tries to get that traffic into his mailing list.

Just like email marketing but in a more personal tone. He is trying to create a friendly atmosphere by uploading for example personal images to connect with the audience on Facebook more effectively, which differs from connecting with people via emails.

With emails, we try to sound more professional, on Facebook we want this personal touch.

What Makes a Great Book Description:

• It gives the reader all they need to know, all they need to feel
• Without getting bogged down in “this happens, then this happens”
• It paints a picture – and does so with the intention of sparking curiosity and an emotional response
• The “good” examples also summarise the key premise of the books
• But it does so in a much more interesting way
• Using short, punchy lines – designed to get people to read the next one
• With non-fiction: include what the book will show you/teach you specifically (and why that’s important)
• Then, by the end, people are so curious and excited by the promise they are more likely to buy

Other factors:

• Reviews. These are easy to get when you have an email list
• Look inside: don’t mess it up. Keep it simple. Less is more. Clean formatting, no ragged right, no intended first paragraph, proper chapter headings + test
• With your books optimized for clicks and conversions, you can start looking at the next part

Other SEO factors:

• Keywords and categories
• Choose 2 categories with low competition/high traffic
• This means narrowing down – eg romance – paranormal romance – werewolves and shifters
• Looking for search terms that are not too broad, but still have healthy traffic and low competition

Keyword examples:

• Use the Amazon search bar for examples
• Check out the results
• Try to get results with fewer than 10,000 competing titles
• Or use an automated tool like Publisher Rocket/KindleSpy to find the best choices
• Use your keywords in the KDP dashboard and also your title (if you can) and book description for better indexing
• One way Amazon decides whether to show a book for a particular search term is by Keywords – so having the right meta-data is essential

Free/Perma Free:

• Free books work as a way to get traffic
• That traffic still needs to convert
• Having a perma-free book means free traffic 24/7
• If you’re in KDP select, running free promos (with advertising) means big spikes in traffic
• Free books are around 50x more likely to be downloaded vs paid (even 99c)
• The value is in the traffic – if you’re using it strategically and converting that traffic into email subscribers or sales 

The Key:

• Optimizing for read-through and Lifetime Value (LTV) encourages organic visibility
• Using Reader Magnets – an incentive to sign up for your email list – inside the book to grow your list
• That free download might then actually earn you an average of $5 per downloader (you can work out your own figures)
• All costing you…absolutely nothing
• If you’re in KDP select – run regular free promos instead

Steps:

• Ste your book to $0.00 on ibooks, Nook, Kobo, etc using a distributor like Draft2Digital or Smashwords
• When the book is listed for $0.00 email Amazon KDP Support and request it be price matched (supply links for them to check)
• In most cases, your Amazon version will be price matched to $0.00 within a few days

Other benefits:

• Free promos/permafree means lots of traffic for you to benchmark your conversion rates, read-through rates, and reviews
• Meaning you can find out what’s working and make some sales without spending anything
• But you do need more than 1 book (they need to be able to buy something)

Joint Promos – 4 Key Promotions:

• Cross-promotion (sales + list building)
• Joint promotion (sales + list building)
• Joint Giveaways (list building)
• Boxed sets & anthologies (sales + list building)

The Concept:

• Instantly double, triple, quadruple your audience by working with authors with a similar-sized audience
• Simply cross-promote each others’ books (either individually, or as a group bundle)
• No email list? team up and run a contest/giveaway and split the cost
• Find authors in forums, BookFunnel, ProlificWorks, FB groups etc…

Contests/Giveaways:

• Run a contest
• List on dozens (or hundreds) of giveaway/contest directories like GiveawayPromote or GiveawayFrenzy
• Get tons of entrants
• Offer each entrant a copy of your book for free
• Those people who claim the free book = keep
• Those who don’t, delete/unsubscribe them
• So you only keep people who actually like you & want to be there

Giveaways – Example:

• Offer something your perfect reader wants
• eg a bundle of paperbacks, a Kindle…
• Collect email addresses and follow up
• Keep those people who engage
• When you’re ready to launch, those people will be the first in line

Software:

• We want viral sharing where entrants win points by sharing with their friends – can boost results by 30% or more
• We don’t want to do all this manually – use KingSumo Giveaways, Rafflecopter, UpViral to manage the whole thing (you don’t even need it to be on your own website)

Next Steps:

• Team up with others to cross-promote
• Or run a joint contest
• Or run your own contest
• Promote on the directories (either do it yourself or pay a small fee for lots of listings)
• Repeat
• Then drive clicks from your email list to your book pages 

Merchandising:

• Get featured on the front page of iBooks, Kobo, Walmart, Nook, and others

Steps:

• Make sure your book links go to al the stores (not just Amazon)
• Publish direct with Kobo – they have a “promotions” tab you can submit to frequently
• Everywhere else, Draft2Digital – they look to curate deals with iBooks, especially “first in series free” – email their team to find out when their next submissions period is

Paid Ads:

• Two main types
• Self-serve pay-per-click/pay-per-impression ads platforms (Facebook, Amazon, Bookbub)
• “email blast” featured deals (Bookbub, FreeBooksy, ENT, Booksends, many others)

Self-Serve:

• Facebook’s ads manager lets you target readers by interest (eg – similar authors) or behavior (visited your site, is on your email list, have interacted with your FB page)
• Amazon ads let you target readers by keyword search or by-product/category specific placements on Amazon itself
• Bookbub ads let you target readers by which authors they “follow” or are interested in

The Key to Self-Serve Ads:

• Find profitable niches – not going straight for the big, obvious targets (eg “likes books”)
• Running lots of ad variants, paying attention to which are working, and turning off the bad ones/increasing budget on the good ones
• You will need a few books to make this work
• It’s very difficult to make a sustainable profit from the sale of the first book
• The ROI comes from read-through
• Especially on Amazon – where you will pay more/not show up at all if your book does not (a) convert and (b) deliver a good LTV
• So this is really an option for people with multiple books – or if you’re focusing on a low budget (eg $5 per day) you can often find profitable “micro-niches”
• But scaling up beyond that is difficult without a deep series and good read-through

Email Blasts:

• You pay for a spot in a book promo service’s daily/weekly email
• This is sent out to people who have expressed an interest in your genre
• Very effective for limited-time promos (eg – a 99c deal)
• But not something you can really systemize to run continually

The Key to Email Blasts:

• Make sure your cover and description are top-notch – not all services accept everyone (especially Bookbub featured deals)
• Often, you’ll use multiple promo providers – key tip: stagger these over 5-7 days
• We want our paid traffic to mimic organic traffic
• :Promo stacking” is an effective way to maximize the “long-tail” effect of traffic/sales spikes

Reader Magnets:

• Reader magnets are what turn casual browsers into committed fans
• Reader magnets are something of value that you give to your readers in exchange for an email address
• If you get this right, you can 100x your results
• But what can you offer, and how do you deliver?
• Inside of all Nick’s books, there is a banner (a big ad) at the front page and at the end of the book that says “Get this free ebook when you join the author’s mailing list” with a link underneath it
• They’ll get redirected to a specific landing page that has nothing else but the book and a button
• People download the free book
• Then, you follow up with an automated email blast series

What is all About

To bring readers that are truly interested in what you have to offer. An irresistible force that draws readers to the promise of getting great/valuable content and building a strong connection. It’s about a meaningful interaction with the right set of people and creating a direct line of trust in the long run.

The key thing is not to go after a quick and dirty sale, you can build the foundation of a successful business for years to come.

What Nick accomplished using the “Reader Magnets” technique:

• He launches new books in the top #200 on Amazon.
• His last email campaign brought in thousands of sales
• He does not need to rely on Amazon, iBooks or any other retailers to make a living.
• He does not pay for advertisers to get sales and compete for spots. He got 1,000 subscribers in a couple of weeks
• His audience continues to grow on auto-pilot

How is he doing that?

It is all about getting readers to commit.

Then Nick describes the whole process from start to finish. A step by step guide to help any aspiring author get his work in front of the right “Eyes”. And that can be accomplished by making readers subscribe to your list by offering free books on giant retailers, and extra bonuses with the help of a landing page.

It is not enough to have people sign up for your email newsletter without offering superior value first. And Reader Magnets will clarify everything for you.

Key Points:

The power of email is huge compared to social media traffic and PPC (pay-per-click) campaigns.

You own your list. Nobody can take it away or change the rules (Facebook, Amazon, Google)

You dictate the content. You can write whatever you want, promote any product you like, cover any subject or topic. You don’t have to pay extra money for advertising.

You can use your email list to launch your new books and/or run promotions on your existing work to give it a boost.

Important Steps

I won’t go into much detail but rather I will give you a summary of what’s included in the rest of the book.

Step #1 – Set Up your books: what to do if you don’t have a book ready yet, what to do if you do have one ready. Examples and instructions on how to use retailers’ sites and what free bonuses to offer.

Step #2 – Drive traffic and convert it into subscribers. How to set up a landing page the right way and make visitors hungry for more.

Step #3 – Integrate your landing page with your email provider.

What you Can do Using Reader Magnets

The entire process takes about 5 days to implement. Then you will have an email list that is growing as long as you have something to offer to your readers.

Additionally, you can expect

• Extra sales as a result of the mailing list
• Get reviews for your books by segmenting your list into a specific group of loyal readers that are willing to give reviews on new items. Nick is using this tactic with pre-release copies of his books.
• Beta readers
• Build a social media platform later on. You don’t build a loyal following by making connections with random people. First, you have to bring fans of your work into your mailing list. Then you can ask them to follow you on social media.

The Reader’s Journey:

• Readers see Nick’s free book (either perma-free or a free promotion, or via Facebook ads)
• Or, readers see his giveaway
• Then, readers see his Reader Magnet offer (either a book or something else)
• Readers sign up to his mailing list
• Then, Nick is emailing them about his other work – when he’s ready to put out a new release or run a promotion on existing books

GDPR:

• If you’re in the EU (or market to the EU) you need to be aware of GDPR
• Takes existing privacy law and combines it into one regulation (with harsher penalties)
• Designed to prevent gross privacy violations (eg Facebook)
• For smaller businesses the principle is “make sure people know what they’re signing up for”
• The laws have not changed all that much – the main changes will be to your disclaimers and privacy policy, which you need to make available before someone signs up (and you have some kind of record for this)

Your Website:

• To convert traffic into email addresses – you need a landing page
• A simple page with an offer + call to action
• Nothing else – no links, no other “stuff” to distract
• A good landing page will convert at 50% or more
• Everyone joining your list is your target reader

After Sign-Up:

• Redirect to a thank you page
• Send an automated email with a link, where people can download the book
• Provide download links in mobi, epub, and PDF file formats + instructions on how to load the book

Next Steps:

• You can set up additional emails to go out at regular intervals
• Introducing your readers to your catalog – getting them to move through your series
• When you run a launch, you can run a campaign
• Use your list to recruit review teams
• Boost your sales on launch day/promo day

Structure of an Email Campaign:

• 2 main types:
• Automated emails, running continuously. For engagement and also sales of your backlist
• Broadcast emails: this might be a monthly newsletter, or a more frequent campaign for an upcoming launch

Launch Campaign:

• 4 weeks before launch, email your list and invite them to join your launch team
• Send them an ARC and remind them to review on launch day
• For those NOT on your launch team – 1 week before launch, send 2-3 “building buzz” emails (cover reveal, preview chapter, early ARC reviews, etc)
• Then during the launch week, offer a bonus if readers BUY NOW (instead of waiting…then not buying at all)

The Biggest Sales Killers:

• Indifference – the reader is not excited
• Procrastination – the reader wants your book, but has no reason to take action right now (then never does)
• STATS: for every 100 people on your list, around 10% will buy from you without a second thought. 10% will never buy. That 80% – those “sideliners” are who you need to focus on
• Build buzz ahead of the launch and offer a “launch bonus” with a deadline to drive sales
• You can even team up with other authors to offer their books for free (gets them exposure too) or bundle several together – so long as the bonus adds value and is for a limited time this will work

Automate:

• Take your best emails, and copy them into an automated sequence in your email provider
• There are free options like Mailchimp
• So this does not cost you a penny either (free clicks)

What Others Are Saying/Testimonials

Russell Blake wrote: “

RECORD-BREAKING INDIE LAUNCH: “Nick’s system helped me more than triple my email list, the first test of which was my launch of Ramsey’s Gold, at the most expensive price at which I’ve ever tried to sell a novel. 

We hit the top of the charts in several popular genres on the first book in a series with no buzz. I’d say Nick’s worth every dime, because given the rate at which I grew my list, as well as the effect his approach has had on this launch, has done me more than right. 

I rarely endorse anyone, ever, for much of anything. I’d gladly pay whatever it cost to take my launch to a new level. His approach did. I see no reason it wouldn’t work for other authors, either established or not. Consider this an endorsement. That should speak volumes.”

Russell Blake, New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author

Joanna Penn wrote: 

TRIPLED HER PLATFORM: “I’ve been studying marketing for years, but sometimes it takes someone new to point out how to take things to a different level. I asked Nick for some help with how to improve my income from my non-fiction work and how to grow my fiction platform.

Within a few weeks, my fiction fanbase more than tripled – and conversion rates on my non-fiction website improved by over 50%. And with over 80,000 visitors a month, that makes a big difference! I recommend Nick’s course if you’re just starting out, OR if you’re ready to take your author platform to the next level.”

AUTOMATED HIS MARKETING: “Following Nick Stephenson’s techniques and spot-on, always humorous coaching I was able to increase my author platform four-fold in about as many months… 

And this is while simultaneously writing two books and negotiating a publishing contract.”

Renee Pawlish wrote: 

THE 10K READERS COURSE PAYS FOR ITSELF: “I’ve gone from 180 subscribers to almost 3500. Also, I used your launch strategy for my latest mystery and I sold over 200 ebooks in one day. I actually hit #4 in hot new releases for Private Investigator books.”

Renee Pawlish, Author of Private Investigator Fiction

Tracey Cooper-Posey wrote: 

THE DIFFERENCE IS NIGHT AND DAY: “I implemented Nick’s system at the very end of March. In March, I had a total of 6 subscribers for the entire month, and that was about average for my newsletter since inception. In April, I had 195 subscribers, and in May, 389.

My sales on Amazon were so-so before using Nick’s system, in part because the launch of Kindle Unlimited in late 2014 slaughtered my sales. Since putting Nick’s system in place it’s been night & day in comparison. My books have received over 50 four and five-star reviews within 48 hours of release, sales have spiked and the books have appeared on their category best-seller lists.”

Tracy Cooper-Posey, Author of Erotic Romance

EXPLODING SALES: “During the course of the past 8 months, I have made less than $300 selling my books in Kindle, paperback and audiobook formats. I went all in, but the results were horrible. And then I read your material and watched your videos. And then I took action!

The result: Since January 23 my sales have more than quadrupled. In fact, I went from selling 3 books per week – to 10-12 books per day and that was just in the first couple of days. It is now one month later, or thereabouts. I am now selling (actual sales and KU sales combined) 90 – 120 books per day and that number seems to keep going up! I am amazed and truly grateful.”

BUILDING HIS PLATFORM ON AUTOPILOT: “My mailing list has grown from around 100 to almost 3,000 in under two months. I get 35-70 sign ups DAILY and the click-through rate on the emails is awesome. My sales have INCREASED due to huge about of traffic of drawing in.

Never thought I’d be able to get the “best of both worlds”, but it seems that I have! I’d HIGHLY recommend this course to anyone looking to make SERIOUS changes to their marketing. Nick is the real deal and I can’t thank him enough. You rock dude!”

Official FAQ

I am not quite ready for the course yet. Can I start the material later?

Yes! If you enroll today (and lock in the bonuses and pricing) Nick can start your 30-day guarantee and access to the community whenever you like. All you need to do is sign up, confirm, and let Nick know

Does this training work for X, Y, Z genre?

This training is not genre-specific. Nick show you how to find your audience and get them onto your mailing list. Then he’ll show you how to use this list to boost sales, launch like a pro, and how to scale up, up, up. It doesn’t matter what you write. Go check out all the testimonials at the link below, from fiction writers, non-fiction writers, children’s book writers, sci-fi writers, and more. You name a genre, it works

Do I need a ton of books to make this work?

No. You can get started right now, even if you only have one book (either already published or soon-to-be published). You can never start building your audience too early

What if I don’t have my first book yet?

Remember, one of the big bonuses for this launch is “The 60 Day Author” – an 8-module class that will show you how to go from “no idea” to published in as little as 60 days.

So, even if you don’t have a book yet, Nick can get you where you need to be as quickly as possible

I haven’t written or published my first book yet. Will this course help me?

Yes! One of our exclusive bonuses for this launch is a full breakdown of how to come up with a rockin’ book idea, how to plot, format and structure it – how to upload it to the major retailers, and how to get the best cover design and editing so your first (or next) book can rival the biggest authors out there – in as little as 60 days. And, once your book is ready, you’ll be able to move on to all the marketing goodies I’ve got lined up for you!

I’ve Only Got One Book, or I’m Traditionally Published – Will this Course Work for Me?

Definitely. I’ve shown you in the free videos leading up to this course that you don’t have to have a ton of books to make this work. All you need is ONE book where you have publishing control or own the rights and I’ll show you how to turn that into an asset that brings you new readers each and every day.

I Write Non-Fiction, Romance, or [insert genre here]. Will this Course Work for Me?  

Absolutely. This system works for any genre. I’ve seen great results from Non-Fiction authors, Fiction Authors, How-To authors, children’s authors, Teen and YA authors, Romance authors, Mystery and Thriller authors, Science Fiction authors, Fantasy Authors… the list is endless! The concepts apply whatever genre you write in. It’s all about finding your audience and building a connection (a universal benefit!).

I don’t have time to learn something new – will this get me instant results and millions of dollars overnight???

In short, no. You will need to review the material and – the most important part – put it into action. But don’t worry, our support network of over 1,200 other students and help from the 10k Readers team will help you get the support you need to get results. If you’re looking for a “magic bullet” then this course probably isn’t a good fit for you right now (eg – you will have to put the work in).

If you are an indie author you can choose to publish a book on your own or follow a marketing training, like Nick Stephenson’s. The problem when you go alone is that you don’t know what to expect and you will miss a ton of opportunities that arise along the way.

Marketing is more important than writing a perfect book, it is about selling and how to maximize profits on every single step that you take.

Nick is a successful and very well-known author that already has helped thousands of students publish their work.

The price is affordable and somewhere in the middle of other alike trainings in the market. And is absolutely worth every penny.

But…as I already mentioned it is not enough to buy a premium course if you don’t plan to follow the instructions and work on your own consistently.

Marketing needs continuous actions, no excuses may apply.

10K Readers is included in my ELITE marketing programs list

It is one of the most concrete trainings I have ever seen. Nick has broken down all the important details so you can focus on creating your books and products. No more trial and errors, no missing hours, days and weeks on guessing what works and what does not.

Nick’s methods are ethical, he never spams people and he engages audiences in the most effective ways. In fact, his readers are delighted with every new launch and book that Nick puts on the market.

There are really 3 options when it comes down to the final decision.

• #1 – You do absolutely nothing, and obviously you can’t expect any results
• #2 – You can go your own way, through trial and error. You have to put the effort and probably spend thousands of dollars on advertising testing things out.
• and the best way #3 – you choose to purchase the Premium Course that has everything laid out for you. This way you can ensure that your platform is growing while you focus on the things that matter the most. Thus, creating your own digital products.

You don’t want to miss on that training. I can guarantee that it will be proved one of your best decisions ever.

P.S. – You can also check the free video training series that Nick has put together plus a Free PDF case study on another author’s experience.

Enroll now in the 10K Readers training program and grab my huge bonuses

But before I announce the bonuses I need to introduce myself very briefly.

I do marketing since December 2014. I live, breathe, and dream marketing. This is what I do for a living. I help companies sell more of their products, both locally and globally. I offer marketing and advertising services to clients directly and as a marketing publisher indirectly through this website.

My approach and marketing methods are very similar to the “Your First 10,000 Readers” program.

Because that’s what YF10KR is all about. It’s about marketing yourself as an author and self-publishing your work without relying on other book stores and publishing companies.

To help you even further I decided to add some extra value to the already extreme package that Nick compiled. And this is to help you realize how much I believe in this program.

And I have to be honest, I only promote HIGH-QUALITY programs that I firmly believe in. It would have been very easy for me to promote every program under the sun, but during my online journey that started in 2015, I only promoted the BEST of the BEST, and I will continue to do so in the future.

I am a huge fan of quality and I don’t promote mediocre or incomplete programs.

So, here are my bonuses…

Look, every year I help dozens of people create their own online businesses either with my free Digital Business Roadmap training or through private sessions and workshops. I can do the same for you.

If you want to go faster, if you don’t want to struggle with trial and error, if you want that something extra that guarantees results, then look no further than these bonuses.
