Client Testimonials
The first time we saw a client with a five-book series break five figures a month we nearly had to check into a hospital. That really happened, and the month that client first came to us, she’d made $14. Here are some testimonials from our clients, both past and present:
“Can’t find enough good words for the marketing efforts and results of Julie Smith and her cohorts. They took our “Bone” series from Duh to Wow! in an unbelievably short period of time … and have kept the books in the upper ranks for two years now.”
“As an indie author it has been my distinct good fortune and pleasure to work with booksBnimble for the past three years. When they agreed to take me on I had one eight series books and five stand-alone novels, and was making the princely sum of $80 per month. They worked with top notch cover artists to remake my covers, produced enthusiastic new copy, and with their marketing, in three months my income was literally 29 times what it had been just 90 days earlier.
Rather than spend time attempting to market in dozens of wrong directions I can work on the next book, make it better than the last one and release it. Now I’m able to write full time, I have three series and I’m currently working on my forty-first book. I sleep comfortably knowing that a very capable team has always got my back. My advice, don’t wait.”
“I had three terrific mysteries. Each one had received great trade reviews and author blurbs. But, they were moldering on a virtual Amazon shelf, and bringing in zero dough! I got in touch with BooksBNimble, and my entire income stream did a 180 turn. I am ever and always grateful for BooksBNimble, their marketing, and the entire staff — all smart and funny — who turned my writing world around.”
