The Author to Influencer Success Path

We take the guesswork out of the book promotion process. Our learning library and weekly lessons walk you step-by-step through our proven 5-step process to get your book the attention it deserves.

Step #1

PREPARATION 
Laying The Foundation
Why are you writing a book?  What do you hope to accomplish?  Is there a need for your book?  Doing the hard work up front can save a lot of heartache down the road.

Step #2

PLATFORM
Build Your Digital Home
Around 7 out of 10 Americans connect to one another using social media.  You're missing out on connecting with your tribe without a platform and a solid content strategy.

Step #3

PRODUCT
Optimize Your Book
Do you have a "publisher quality" book cover?  Do you have a professional editor?  What about distribution?  Having a high quality product is essential to compete.

Step #4

PLAN
Strategize Your Launch
When do you plan to publish your book?  Do you know the best time to publish to maximize exposure?  Do you know how to build your tribe and activate them?

Step #5

PROMOTION
Spread the Word
Do you have a strategy designed to reach the media?  Do you know what angles you will use for press materials?  Do you have any news of the day angles?  How will you pitch the media?

Success!

You've worked all the steps along the success path and have reached the finish line. Congratulations!  Now you're thinking about your next book so you can start the process all over again!

FAQs

Will this make me a bestseller?

While we can't guarantee bestseller status, we can guarantee that if you do the work, you'll get your book in front of the right people—your ideal reader—and open up opportunities to share your message with the world. 

Why would I use the Author to Influencer Accelerator instead of hiring you?

If you want to hire us to run your launch, great! But if you want to take a more DIY approach to your book launch (at an affordable price), then this is for you. 

How long does the process take?

That's up to you. Inside, you'll unlock the success path that gives you everything you need to launch your book. You can go as fast or as slow as you like!  New educational content will be added every week, all year long. You'll also be a part of a growing, passionate Facebook author community, a place to share ideas, use as a focus group and learn from others. 

What will I get for my monthly investment?

There will be a library of content that you can access that follows the success path of book promotion, membership to a group of authors eager to learn more about book promotion and new content that is published weekly.  Also included is an Office Hours Q&A once a month with Marika Flatt to get all of your burning questions answered (her typical hourly rate for this alone is $150/hr).

Can I cancel my membership?

With any option, you can cancel at any time within the first 30 days and request a full refund. When you join at the annual rate, you secure the lowest monthly rate for the year, therefore there is no cancellation within that year. With the monthly payment, your credit card is simply charged monthly. You can cancel at any time. But we aim to serve you well, so you'll want to stick around long-term!
