About

BookSparker is a web-based book marketing platform for indie and self-published authors. It brings audience-building and book-promotion tools together, including a genre- and list-size-matched newsletter swap marketplace, group promotions, reader-magnet and advance-review-copy delivery, sign-up landing pages, author websites, and universal links to booksellers. Authors can upload reader-magnet files for delivery in common ebook formats, collect subscribers, and connect supported email services such as MailerLite, Kit, and EmailOctopus. Free-plan features include limited monthly swaps, a landing page, email collection, and reader-magnet delivery. Paid plans add direct ebook sales through the author's Stripe account without a BookSparker commission. The platform is intended to help authors organize promotional activity and build relationships with readers.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • BookFunnel is the place to go for authors looking to build a newsletter following. It has the best group promos with big-name authors in independent publishing. It also lets you deliver ebooks securely to ARC teams and readers. It also lets you build beautiful and professional-looking landing pages for your books.
  • I like the fact that Book Funnel collects email addresses for me for a reasonable price. It's also very low cost if you aren't interested in collecting email addresses.

Cons

  • Be aware that the least expensive tier of service is good for little except delivering ebooks. You can join group promos, but BookFunnel will not collect emails for you, so doing promos on this plan are pointless. So the only tier that's truly useful is the more expensive one. Even on that one, if you want newsletter integration, you'll pay extra on top. StoryOrigin gives you the equivalent of BookFunnel's lowest tier for free.
  • Some of my readers have found the download process to be confusing. I have frequently had to direct my readers to a You Tube video that explains how to download a book from Book Funnel onto a Kindle reader.
