What Can You Get for £99.95 These Days? A Pizza, a Tank of Fuel… or a Full-Blown Book Marketing Campaign?

So You Want People to See Your Book, so it's time for a Book Marketing Campaign…

So, here you are, your book has been written, and it's time for a book marketing campaign. What you do from hereon in is critically important while simultaneously being at the precipice of hope and existential ruin.

One path leads to your dream: real readers, thoughtful reviews, maybe even the phrase “I couldn’t put it down” typed unironically.

The other path? A cracked pavement of shady promo deals, suspicious five-star reviews, and some guy named Kevin who swears he can “blast your book to 50k inboxes” for £399 and half a tuna melt.

You’ve been here before. You’ve been brow-beaten, wallet-lightened, and algorithmically ghosted. You’ve read the phrases “guaranteed exposure” and “global reach” so many times that they now feel like spells from a dark wizard trying to bankrupt you.

And if you’ve dared to try one of the “real” services, say, the £400 push that promised to ‘rocket your sales’, you already know how this ends:

Your book is “featured” for 6 hours on a carousel no one clicks.
You get 7 sales, a couple thousand Kindle Unlimited page reads.
And a grand total of £37 in royalties.

That’s not promotion. That’s a system rigged to make them look useful, and you look foolish. The algorithm worked, just not for you.

So what do you get for a one-off fee of just £99.95?

Let’s break it down. For the cost of one overambitious Friday night takeaway (plus the regret), two weeks of parking in central Belfast (plus the fines), or a full tank of fuel and a mild existential crisis, you could get something far more satisfying: a legit book marketing package, built by someone who reads your book, reviews it like a human being, and promotes it like they don’t secretly resent you.

Included in the Amplify package:

✅ A professionally built, SEO-optimised landing page

✅ Your book cover, blurb, and a sharp summary

✅ A podcast-style audio review

✅ A TikTok video review or reading to hook visual scroll-happy readers

✅ A blog post featuring your book

✅ Your author bio, because yes, you do matter

✅ All links pointing to your actual book sale page, not ours

✅ Plus routine social shares, just because we're nice like that

✅ No additional fees or costs. We'd love it if you also list your next book with us :)

Compare that to the industry standard:

Service Type	Cost	Actually Reads Book?	Sends Traffic to You?	Built by a Human?
“Exposure Package”	£299–£999	❌	❓	🤷‍♂️
“We'll Tweet Your Book Twice!”	£59.99	❌	❌	Probably a bot
Amplify by Write Publish Books	£99.95	✅	✅	100% human

Why So Affordable?

Because we’re indie too. I write and publish books myself, and like many of you, I’ve been inundated with spammy promoters, “marketing experts,” and mysterious offers that vanish faster than your royalties. My timeline’s been clogged with overpriced promo packages that scream limited time only while quietly playing a psychological game: hook the hopeful, fleece the desperate.

I know the signs. I’ve been there. And I built Amplify specifically to be the opposite.

This isn’t about hype. Will it sell you a million books? Unlikely. But what it will do is put your book in front of actual people, with a proper landing page, a podcast-style review, a TikTok video, a blog feature, and multiple backlinks that all point straight to your sales page. In short, it helps people find your book and decide for themselves.

This is promotion without the predator tactics. Because honesty’s still cheaper than snake oil, and a lot easier to sleep with.
