Tools and Resources for Indie Authors
I get asked A LOT about the apps, reference books, and resources I use as an indie author. Below is a select list of highly recommended apps I personally use and books I often refer to.
ESSENTIAL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT APPS
MAILERLITE
Mailing lists are VITAL for indie authors, and MailerLite beats MailChimp hands-down (I know because I switched). FREE up to 1,000 subcribers, also.
PUBLISHER ROCKET
These days indie authors can’t afford not to run Amazon Ads. Publisher Rocket is an INVALUABLE tool for discovering the best ad keywords and phrases for your target audience.
With Adobe Creative Cloud I can re-purpose my books’ cover art for ads, bookmarks, business cards, and my website. I have the Photography Plan, only $10 per month and includes Photoshop.
WORDPRESS
Website creation made easy. Simple to use, and thousands of available plugins.
