BACKMATTER STUDIO
FREE AUDIT

Your book deserves more than a Linktree.

You're spending real money on covers, editing, and ads — and your hard-won clicks land on a list of links. No email capture. No brand. No reason to remember you.

I'm a published dark-fantasy author. I built my own series platform — website, email list, Discord, the works — and now I build them for other authors. In 5 days. At a fixed price. No agency games.

Founding rate: $497 for the first 3 authors · standard $1,250

A COMPLETE READER FUNNEL — NOT JUST A WEBSITE

AUTHOR WEBSITE

Home, Books, About, and a reader-magnet page that turns visitors into subscribers. Series-aware, genre-styled, fast — and yours. You own the code, the domain, and the list.

EMAIL ENGINE

Kit (ConvertKit) configured, signup forms wired, and a 3-email welcome sequence written for you. The readers your ads buy become readers you own.

SMART LINK HUB

Replaces your Linktree with a page that captures emails while it routes readers to every retailer. Your bio link finally earns its keep.

DISCORD COMMUNITY

Channels, roles, and a welcome flow ready for your readers — the gathering hall where casual readers become superfans. Optional, included.

BOOK SEO

Schema markup for your books and series, per-book social cards, and the technical foundation that helps your name surface in search.

BACK-MATTER LINKS

A copy-paste link block for the back of your books — so every reader who finishes chapter one is one click from your list. The highest-ROI page in publishing.

I'll run a free 15-point audit of your author platform — where your ad clicks leak, what your Amazon page is missing, what your link hub fails to capture. You get it either way, including a fix you can do yourself today. No strings.

HONEST ANSWERS

WHY YOU AND NOT A WEB DESIGNER?

A web designer has never stared at a KDP dashboard. I have. Every choice on your site exists to do one thing: turn a stranger who clicked your ad into a subscriber who buys your next release on day one. My own series site is the demo — go click around it.

I COULD BUILD THIS MYSELF ON SQUARESPACE.

You absolutely can. Honest math, though: 30–40 hours of your writing time, $200+/year forever, and the funnel parts — welcome sequence, magnet delivery, capture-first link hub — are the bits the DIY guides skip. What's your writing time worth?

DO YOU GUARANTEE SALES?

No — and run from anyone who says yes. I guarantee the scope, the timeline, and that every visitor your ads buy gets asked onto your email list. The list is the asset; sales follow your next launch email.

WHO OWNS EVERYTHING AFTERWARD?

You do. The code, the domain, the email list, the Discord — all under your accounts from launch day. No hosting hostage fees, no $99/month maintenance plan you're trapped in.
