Hi there! Duolit is on hiatus, but please feel free to explore our extensive archive of posts and our free Weekend Book Marketing Makeover. Thanks for visiting!

Project: Rockin’ Indie (That’s You!)

The Duolit gang: Shannon (the author), Toni (the geek), and baby Olivia (the intern!)

Last year, we shut down our generic consulting services. We probably won’t offer them again.

The main reason is that, while we loved helping out indies with small hurdles, we know that what you can really use is long-term support, guidance and focus.

Because of this, we want to work with a couple of select indies…and give them 3 months of intensive mentoring, coaching and support.

You know that self-publishing is a long game. And we know that, by working with you long-term, we can ensure you have the pieces in place to achieve success!

Anyway, if you’re chosen, you’ll get our personal phone numbers, Skype handles, email addresses, smoke signal coordinates, etc., and we’ll be doing everything we can to help you build (or make over) your indie career and grow your fanbase.

The Rockin’ Indie (That’s You!) Program

We’re really excited to work with you to move you toward publishing success! Here’s how it’ll work:

  • Every week, you’ll have a strategy session/coffee chat with us via email or Skype.  During this strategy session, we’ll work together to determine the #1 most important project/task for you to complete this week.  And we’ll create a plan of attack to ensure you accomplish it.
  • You’ll have full access to both of us via email, Skype and phone for support throughout the week as you work on your  project (i.e. the project/task we decided upon during our strategy session)…. so we can collaboratively address any questions that come up.
  • If needed, we’ll help you out by using our skills (web design, graphic design, copywriting, social media setup, etc.) too.

Here are some things you need to know about the program:

  • It’s going to cost $997. This is a steal when you consider our regular rate of $97/hour! To be frank, this fee is a filter: we don’t want you to drop out after a few weeks (especially after we’ve been working our booties off for you!) If you prefer a payment plan, you’d need to send in $397 for the initial deposit and $300 payments 30 and 60 days after that–at which point it would be paid in full.
  • We love you. But if you’re going to call us like 10 times a day and wake Toni up at 10pm or Shannon up at 8am, please don’t take us up on this opportunity!
  • You must agree to take action. We’ll do absolutely everything we can to help make you a thriving success, but YOU must take action and apply the strategies and ideas we give you.

The Bonus

As a bonus, you’ll also become part of our Indie Ninja Lifetime Membership program. That means you’ll get every future product we produce PLUS exclusive discounts, coaching calls AND an additional Kick-Booty Coffee Date every year. For free. Forever. This bonus alone more than justifies the cost of the program!

If you want one of the five slots, please do the following:

  1. Send the program fee ($997 or $397 initial payment) to our PayPal address: [email protected] (shoot us an email if you’re unsure how to do this)
  2. Send in an application email to [email protected] sharing: (1) Where you currently are in the publishing process, (2) What part of writing and publishing you’re most passionate about, (3) What you’ve done so far to build your fanbase, (4) How you most think we’d be able to help you, (5) The number of hours you have available to work on your indie career and (6) Your time zone and the best time of the day to reach you.

Applications will be considered on a first come, first served basis. There is no application deadline and the spots will be filled by the first and BEST eligible indies! :-)

Very important note: We will not review your application until we’ve received payment. It’s not because we’re meanies (promise!), but because we can’t afford to review a ton of applications from authors who, after an extensive selection process, eventually decide this opportunity isn’t isn’t for them.

Bottom line: we will ONLY work with you if we are 100% confident we can help you achieve success. If you’re not a good fit, we will (of course) refund your money ASAP!

With all this in consideration, we very much look forward to working with you IF this program is the right fit for you. We LOVE LOVE LOVE to see our indie friends reach their goals!
