Reputation Audit Packages
Every indie author has a unique voice, but finding the best path to success can be challenging. Our Reputation Audit shines a light on that path. We delve into the world of your favorite authors, your peers, and those whose writing style matches yours. By understanding their successes and lessons, you gain insights into your own journey.
Think of your favorite authors as your guiding stars. By studying their path, we can help you envision your potential milestones. Your peers offer real, achievable goals, showcasing areas you can shine in. But the real magic happens when we explore authors that readers compare you to. This provides a clear picture of your niche and how to thrive in it. And of course, we take a close look at your work, celebrating your strengths and identifying opportunities to grow.
With our Reputation Audit, you're not just writing; you're strategizing. You'll gain the clarity and confidence to shape your author career, making every word you write a step closer to your dreams.
Your Reputation Audit Options
Our Reputation Audits provide an empowering, in-depth analysis of any author you choose, whether it's yourself, a competitor, or someone you admire. Knowledge is power, and our goal is to support your long-term decision-making process for a thriving author career.
Based on the chosen author's results, we can help you answer important questions:
Should you consider translations? Which languages might be most profitable?
Is branching out to audiobooks a good idea? Are hardcovers worth it? How do paperbacks perform in today’s market?
Do perma-free books effectively convert to sales?
What is the typical readthrough rate from one book to the next?
We begin with a 30-day income review, highlighting their most profitable books, series, and formats*. If available, we also calculate conversion rates from one book to the next and assess the effectiveness of perma-free books in converting readers**.
Next, we analyze reader reviews to identify key strengths and opportunities, which you can leverage in your marketing strategy. If the author uses review services, we will include this information.
To complete the assessment, we provide the top three Amazon categories for the author's bestselling series or a series of your choice. This helps you understand reader expectations within the author's chosen genres and assess if those expectations are being met, an area where many indie authors can find significant advantages.
* Please note that we cannot determine the specifics of an author’s ad spend, which may influence high royalties and overall profit.
** There may be a slight margin of error in conversion rates if the author offers their perma-free book through their newsletter, potentially skewing results higher. This is not a negative aspect but something to be aware of.
