Follow-up questions they answered

Is Book Launchers worth it for first-time authors with no platform?
Yes. Tierra Duncan started with no social media presence or website. Book Launchers helped her build a YouTube channel, Instagram, and website, while providing the credibility needed to secure podcast guest spots and TV appearances. — Tierra
How does Book Launchers handle the complexity of self-publishing?

What is the communication like at Book Launchers?
Tierra describes the communication as great, with regular emails, reminders for scheduling, and questions answered within a couple of days. She felt the structure was fantastic due to regular check-ins. — Tierra

How much time does a founder need to spend on Share One videos?
The process is designed to be hands-off for the business owner. Julie Broad explains that she only provides an introduction, and Share One manages the entire process until a final video is ready for approval. — Julie Broad
Will customers actually agree to do video testimonials?
Julie Broad found that her authors were more enthusiastic than expected, often wanting to 'give back' to the company. They were excited to share their stories to help other authors who were in the same decision-making position they once were. — Julie Broad
