Boost Your Indie Book’s Reach With Research-Based Marketing Solutions For Indie Authors
At Lumin8 Marketing, our strategies are derived exclusively from peer-reviewed research studies published no earlier than 2022.
These studies performed statistical analyses and predictive modeling on approximately 3,800 unique authors, 930 specific books, and secondary datasets that contained 50,000+ titles to determine the key drivers for indie book sales.
That means our research is practical, not theoretical, and far more rigorous than anecdotal stories that rely on success bias and personal opinion.
From these studies, we’ve learned which tactics drive discovery, readership, and sales for independent authors like you who don’t have the luxury of legacy publishing house resources.
