email marketing setup and management for authors

Why is an email list so important?

As an author, it’s essential that you have control of your marketing. While advertising is very important, and many authors also focus on building their social media following, your email list is the only form of marketing you have complete control over. At any point, you can download your entire list. This makes you independent of any specific supplier.

With a mailing list, you have a direct line to your readers. Write compelling books your readers look forward to and you’ll get sales at every launch.

Your books, your website and your email list – the three pillars of your author career.

Leave it to Us

There’s no particular reason why being an author should, in itself, equip you to set up and run a successful email campaign. You have the talent to write great emails (it goes with being an author), but the initial setup can be like an undiscovered country.

So, our email marketing setup service takes the strain out of creating an efficient means of growing your list and interacting with your readers.

You’re a writer – go ahead and write. Leave the techie stuff to us (we love it!)

We love MailerLite as we believe it combines all the features an author is likely to need with outstanding value. We also have extensive experience with MailChimp and ConvertKit but if you’re looking for the best email service for authors, we recommend MailerLite wholeheartedly.
