BookFunnel

 

BookFunnel is a paid app for indie authors to distribute e-books, e-audiobooks, advanced reader copies, and reader magnets. Through their webpage, authors can send digital material to their readers directly.

BookFunnel makes distribution easy. Readers are directed to a landing page to download free books. Authors can use the site as a place to distribute free materials. Reader magnets, free first in series, beta copies, and ARCs can get to readers quickly with minimal hassle.

Writers wear so many hats. Creating links to your free materials simplifies many tasks.

BookFunnel helps maintain your copyright and protects readers’ email privacy at the same time. No one can get the files from the site without the link. Books are distributed as either mobi, epub, or pdf. Authors can choose if they want a pdf or not. Email addresses are not saved unless permissions are given.

The app will monitor your books and give stats on the number of downloads. The site will also connect you to group promotions, book swaps, codes, and ways to sell your stories using Book Funnel as your distributor.

Pricing for BookFunnel falls into three categories. I’ll cover the annual costs. You can pay monthly if you choose. At the bottom tier for $20 a year, authors can use one pen name, have 500 downloads a month, unlimited book storage, custom landing pages, and participate in group promotions. For $100 a year, authors can maintain two pen names and 5000 downloads a month. Additionally, they can collect emails, have secure ARC deliveries, downloadable gift codes, and distribute short MP3 audio files. For an additional $50, authors can also have direct integration of mailing lists (like from Mailchimp or MailerLite). With the $250 a year plan gives authors three pen names, and unlimited downloads, with the additional services of automatic integration of three mailing lists and priority support.

If you aren’t satisfied with the service, cancel for a full refund up to thirty days after enrolling.
