Indie Author Tools to Fill Your Toolbox
At BookFunnel, we have the author’s needs in mind. We’re authors, too, you know! Our mission is to help you succeed and feel confident in self-publishing, marketing your ebook, and connecting with readers using all the tools you can dream of, from landing pages to ebook delivery.
Customized Landing Pages as Unique as Your Book
You and your book are fabulous—your landing page should be, too. We’ve got the tools that indie authors need to make their landing page shine from playing with color and text to adjusting the layout.
So, what can you use a landing page for? Just about anything you want to deliver: reader magnets, review copies via Certified Mail (for your advanced reader copies, or ARCs), or selling your book using BookFunnel’s easy-to-use digital fulfillment. We’ve got you covered.
The best part? You’re not going to have to read an instruction manual to set up your landing page. Our landing pages are designed for simplicity, whether you keep the original design in place, or add your own flair.
You’re In Charge
Our unique ebook delivery settings allow you to control who receives your book and who doesn’t, so you get your book in the hands of the right people at the right time.
Download Limits
Only want a select number of people to download your book? Great! You set a limit and we’ll close downloads when it’s met.
Automatic Expiration for Downloads
You set a date, and we’ll pause downloads from then on. It’s that easy.
Real-Time Stats
Know who is downloading your book so you can adjust your landing page, download limits, and expirations as needed.
Replace Rogue Links
If your download link gets shared online, we’ll help you easily replace it.
Build Your Email List and Monitor Downloads
When you sign up for the Mid-List Plan or higher, you’ve got options—like requiring readers to provide their email address before downloading your book.
Why does this matter? Because you’re working to grow and sustain your self-publishing business, and having a solid email list is a great place to start! Add in our Direct Integration feature, and we’ll send new subscribers to your list automatically.
Direct Email Integration
Take the hassle out of building your email list with BookFunnel’s simple, direct integration tools that allow your readers to sign up for your mailing list AND download your ebook all at once!
Even better, readers will automatically receive your carefully crafted welcome sequence (because you totally have one, right) that will make them feel all the warm fuzzies about you and your book so that you can start building a meaningful relationship with your readers.
If you’re concerned about security, BookFunnel’s direct integration feature gives you complete control. You can create protected pages that confirm a reader is subscribed to your list before they can download your book, so you can rest assured that your book is in good hands.

Give the Gift of Your Book
Did you make a new author friend, or connect with a new reader? Then, why not gift them your book?!
With one click, you can send your book with a unique link just for them. All you need is their first name and email address, and off it goes!
Find Readers in Your Genre with Group Promos
The Promotions board on the BookFunnel dashboard can help you find new readers! When you cross-promote with other indie authors in your genre, your book is exposed to new readers who are searching for books just like yours. Get the most out of promotions by sharing them with your mailing list and on social media, because sharing is caring (about your readers and your new author friends)!
