Background:
An Indian author launched a trilogy on Amazon Kindle but initially did not optimize series setup or cross-promotion. Early sales of Book 1 were modest, and Books 2 and 3 were at risk of underperforming.
Challenges:
-
Low read-through between books
-
Weak series branding and inconsistent covers
-
Limited discoverability of sequels
Strategy Implemented by Write Right:
-
Linked all books using Amazon Series Pages
-
Ensured consistent cover design and sequential numbering
-
Set up cross-promotion at the end of Book 1 and Book 2 to encourage purchase of the next book
-
Provided guidance on pen name vs real name branding to maintain author recognition
Results:
-
Books 2 and 3 contributed 60% of total series income
-
Higher read-through boosted category rankings
-
Stronger brand presence improved visibility for future releases
Write Right’s Role:
Write Right managed series setup, cover consistency, and cross-promotion strategy, maximizing revenue and building a sustainable author brand.
