Position Stage

POS.01

Position

Clarify your author brand, your genre positioning, your reader promise, and the market advantage that makes your book different from the next hundred in your category.

Key Output: Author brand architecture, genre positioning statement, competitive differentiation strategy.

Discover Stage

DISC.02

Discover

Build discoverability through SEO, metadata optimization, author website architecture, and a content plan built around what readers actually search for.

Key Output: SEO architecture, metadata strategy, discoverability audit, content roadmap.

Capture Stage

CAP.03

Capture

Convert visitors into email subscribers using a reader magnet and a landing page built to convert. Not just collect names.

Key Output: Reader magnet, landing page, opt-in funnel, email capture system.

Nurture Stage

NUR.04

Nurture

Build reader trust through automated, value driven email sequences that keep your audience warm between books.

Key Output: Welcome sequence, nurture emails, reader engagement system.

Launch Stage

LAU.05

Launch

Coordinate launch assets, review strategy, promotion timing, and audience activation so launch week works with the system instead of against it.

Key Output: Launch timeline, review strategy, promotional sequence, activation plan.

Expand Stage

EXP.06

Expand

Turn one book into a long term audience ecosystem that supports future books, speaking, media, and business opportunities.

Key Output: Multi book strategy, audience ecosystem, long term growth architecture.

Why a framework, not a checklist

Order matters

Skipping a stage is why most book marketing fails

Most authors jump straight to Launch. Ads, a release week push, a flurry of posts. All without Position, Discover, or Capture in place. There is no audience to launch into, so the spike fades in a week. The Book-to-Business Funnel™ builds each stage in order, so Launch has something to activate and Expand has something to compound.
