Steven Pieper – Author Marketing Mastery Through Optimization 4

Build a career income selling directly to your readers.

Join some of the world’s most successful indie authors inside the world’s most effective Direct Sales program.

Your success will come from writing excellent books that readers love, and from optimizing six business assets.

• Advertising is essential in a world with 60,000,000 books. You’ll construct high-converting advertisements by testing headlines, images, and text copy.
• Your sales page will welcome new readers into your world, and invite them to purchase from you.
• On the way to checkout, you’ll offer an opportunity to enjoy another title at a great price. This is called the “order bump,” and readers love these bonus offers.
• You’ll use the world’s highest-converting checkout process inside your own ecommerce store, hosted by Shopify.
• You’ll congratulate your new customer and invite them to enjoy a great deal the next title in your series. This is the post-purchase upsell, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how many readers love these bonus books!
• Your email system will contribute 25% to 50% of the total revenue to your business, and will keep your customers coming back to purchase from you.

You’ll optimize these assets to work for you 24/7, rain or shine, while you work on your next book.

Selling directly to your readers is more profitable and sustainable.

Most authors are 100% reliant on Amazon. They trust Amazon to find readers for them, to convert prospects into paying customers, and to pay the author’s share of the royalties on time.

This arrangement works for some authors, some of the time.

But is it working for you? If so, how long will it continue to work for you?

The reality is, you’re only one algorithm change away from losing your income.

Why not control your own destiny by building a sustainable business around your books

All The Skills and Tools You Need To Build A Successful Direct-Sales Book Business.

What You’ll Learn In Author Marketing Mastery Through Optimization 4

AMMO Phase 1: “Click Testing”

There are probably 100 true and accurate ways to describe any book under the sun.

Click Testing answers the question, “Which of these true and accurate ways of describing my book actually produces sales?”

We’ll show you how to set up, conduct, and evaluate your Click Tests to produce high-converting advertisements that sell more books and earn more profit per sale.

This phase usually lasts 2 to 3 weeks.

• Test 1 – Tagline / Motivations
  Storytellers (Novelists, memoirists, and story-based nonfiction authors) will test book/series taglines, while Problem Solvers will find their market’s strongest motivators for positive change.
• Test 2 – Headline / Transformation
  Storytellers will test ad headlines, while Problem Solvers will find the most compelling transformation statements for their audience.
• Test 3 – Testimonials
  All authors will find compelling “standalone testimonials” from prior readers and customers to help prospective readers decide if your books are right for them.
• Test 4 – Images
  A great deal of human gray matter is devoted to digesting visual information, so ad images are a powerful way to give prospective readers a sense of the experience of your book(s).
• Test 5 – Primary Ad Text
  You’ll discover the best way to use the “primary text” section of your advertisements to get readers excited about your books and products. The “primary text” appears above the image on Facebook ads
• Test 6 – Stress Test
  This is the final “sanity check” from your market to confirm that your testing has produced at least one high-converting advertisement to power your book sales.

AMMO Phase 2: Once you’ve conquered click testing…

Here’s the direct sales awesomeness that awaits you inside AMMO V4’s “Direct Sales for Authors” Module:

• Lesson 1: Understanding direct sales economics
  Take a tour of the AMMO direct sales system that you’ll be building and optimizing. Discover the key economic drivers we’ve discovered through our work with hundreds of authors, and how our entire process is designed around these realities.
• Lesson 2: Fundamental principles
  We’ve designed AMMO V4 as a complete business education for authors, built on the fundamental principles that have produced over $1B in client results across 75+ industries. You’ll apply these hard-won lessons to your book business to grow profitably and avoid common pitfalls.
• Lesson 3: Shopify!
  We’ll start getting our hands dirty as we set up your book products for sale inside your very own Shopify store. We’ll also welcome you to the excitement and independence that come with owning your own e-commerce store!
• Lesson 4: Bookfunnel + Shopify
  You’ll be able to fulfill your customers’ electronic purchases easily, automatically, and professionally through Damon Courtney’s brilliant app, Bookfunnel.
• Lesson 5: Selling book bundles without breaking the bank
  Four out of every five book purchases today are physical copies, and we’ll guide you through the process of putting together your paperback offers. This is a critical part of every successful author business today, and we’ll give you the financial tools to quickly and fully understand your unit costs.
• Lesson 6: Your business’s Golden Ratio
  Avoid the crippling operational pitfalls that prevent talented authors from succeeding in their book businesses. You’ll discover a powerful framework that gives you full clarity and allows you to run your business like a pro.
• Lesson 7: Creating your “Doorbuster” offer stacks
  A killer offer is critical to attracting new readers. You’ll use our proprietary tools to help you design your introductory “doorbuster” offers for ebooks, paperbacks, AND audiobooks (if you have them). The tools will do ALL of the math needed to understand the gross profit you’ll earn with each sale. This is crucial to your ability to scale your business!
• Lesson 8: Implementing your doorbuster offer (and order bumps!)
  We’ll walk you step by step through the process of setting up your doorbuster offer and order bump pages to make them customer-ready. This is a tremendously satisfying step in the process — your offers are the engine that will power your business growth for years to come.
• Lesson 9: Unbounce tips & tricks
  It’s not enough to create functional offers. We must test, iterate, and optimize those offers to best serve our customers, which allows us to build a profitable business. We’ll walk you through one of the most powerful business growth tools in our arsenal to help you quickly reach profitability.
• Lesson 10: Setting up your sales page
  We’ll hand you a number of battle-tested, powerful, proven sales page templates as a springboard to build the pages that will sell your books to new readers. Each of these templates has sold millions of dollars worth of books, and will save you weeks of work and thousands of dollars in testing.
• Lesson 11: Post-purchase upsell offers
  Readers LOVE a great deal on a great book, so once they’ve chosen to buy your doorbuster offer, we’ll give them a “would you like fries with that” offer to enjoy another great title at a compelling price. This little offer will go a long way toward securing your profitability!
• Lesson 12: The best email system on the planet for your store
  In lesson 12, we’ll walk you through setting up your Klaviyo email system. Klaviyo is the most powerful and profitable email system for Shopify store owners, and we’ll show you the procedures we use to develop, test, and iterate the two most important email flows in your entire business: the welcome sequence and abandoned cart sequence.
• Lesson 13: SHOWTIME! It’s time to bring new customers into your store!
  All of our hard work to this point will really start paying off. We’ll show you how to deploy the ads you built inside of the Click Testing portion of AMMO V4 in order to bring new customers into your system. This will give us the necessary data and market intelligence to make constant improvements and build a highly profitable bookselling system!
• Lesson 14: The Ledger of Legends
  This “legendary” tool will take all of the confusion, messiness, and frustration out of tracking your advertising results. It will give you a clear picture of your business’s financial performance every single day, AND it will evaluate your performance numbers and tell you which of your marketing assets to iterate next. This tool gives you knowledge, insight, and autonomy to run your business like a seasoned professional.
• Lesson 15: How to get your sales page not to suck
  Testing and optimizing your sales page is the hardest part of the direct sales process. You can think of it as a rite of passage, foisted upon us by the business gods. I’m going to give you insight and instruction from thousands of sales pages that have produced many millions of dollars in results, and this will save you weeks of aggravation and thousands of dollars in testing costs.
• Lesson 16: Krushing the rest of your Klaviyo flows
  We’ll return to Klaviyo to fully harness its unique power. You’ll create smart email flows that will automatically meet your customers wherever they are in their customer journey with you. Over time, this effort can double the revenue your business makes, 24/7/365. It’s an extremely powerful system, and we’ll show you how to make the most of it to grow your business profitably and sustainably.
• Lesson 17: One Click Gold
  In this lesson, we’ll spend some quality time setting up another exceptionally powerful tool: the upsell offer system we use inside of Shopify to increase customer happiness by giving them more amazing books at compelling prices. You’ll also learn how to A/B test these offers, and this will help you increase your store’s revenue and profit — automatically — by up to 50%!
• Lesson 18: Where to learn how to SCALE YOUR BUSINESS
  In this lesson, I’ll show you how to unlock our Capstone Bonus Module (see below), and you’ll have immediate access to the bonus lesson that answers the most common question from AMMO graduates: How do I scale my ads profitably and sustainably? You’ll benefit from what I’ve learned by spending over a million dollars of my own money on Meta ads. And you’ll also receive MORE bonus lessons, released at a comfortable pace to allow you to take full advantage of them.
