Your book's launch

Isn't The End Of Its Story

Welcome to Financially Free Author,  home of the resources you need to make income from your books and build a long-lasting author career!

What is an "author platform"? Simply put, it's the number of people interested in your books. That's your following on social media platforms plus people who signed up for your author newsletter list. You have the attention of that number of people and when you announce that you have a book available, those are the people who have already shown interest in possibly buying it.

Five Easy Secrets

To Growing An Author Platform:

Who Am I?

Hey, I'm Carolyn Choate

I've been an author for seventeen years and I fell in love with self-publishing and the complete control it gives me over my career. To my great shock, as someone with a BA and an MA in creative writing, I ended up really enjoying the marketing side of writing.

I know, no one ever says that!

Marketing came very naturally to me once I realized that it's just letting the people who will love your book know that it exists. I'm never pushy or salesy but I still build websites that bring in readers and buyers.

If you want a career as an author, indie or trad, you absolutely need a website. It is the number one key to a stable income. After that you need to learn about bringing people to that website (what is known as website traffic). This shop provides resources to help authors do both those things, from author website templates to a book launch planner to educational ebooks, and more.

Stop trying to cobble together a marketing plan for your book launch and follow the step-by-step guidance of this planner.

Not just what to do for a great book launch...but also how to do it.

Whether you follow every single step or pick and choose a few favorite ideas to promote your book, your next launch is sure to be your best yet.
