Taking you from 3 months before your book's release to 6 months after.

Introducing the Nine-Month Launch Plan,

Chapter 9

Taking you from 3 months before your book's release to 6 months after.

Hey there,

I'm Jo Wildsmith

...and this is what I do.

As a long-term self-publisher and print on demand seller, with a strong sales and business background, I have been benefitting from the magic of POD to passively bring me worldwide royalties from my books and merchandise.

With a keen eye for detail and a virulent streak of Virgo fastidiousness, delivering exceptional service and products that you are hugely proud of is my absolute mission.

You've done the hard bit.

You've put the hours in, you've written and re-written, read and re-read, the tens of thousands of carefully chosen words you've artfully placed in each chapter. And now it's just sitting there, staring at you!

Now what?

Stick it on Amazon and hope for the best?

Doesn't your masterpiece deserve more?

Welcome to my world.

One where The End is just the beginning...

A weekly video series, showing you how to market your book:

  • What to do and when.

  • Regular masterclasses run by guest experts, covering concepts including: applying to podcasts, direct sales, crowdfunding, and many other ways to promote your book - and when to do them.

  • Weekly WhatsApp Support from Jo.

  • Monthly live Accountability Session with Jo.

Why a nine-month plan?

It's essential to build a buzz around your book way before its release date - and, once that rush of excitement of the Big Day subsides, you want to ensure your book is still making waves.

Let's go beyond the birth of the book.

A sustained approach, giving your book staying power.

Far too many books are launched and then disappear without trace - don't let that happen to yours!

You can start Chapter 9 at any time

Because this nine-month launch plan is video-based, you don't need to time your book's release with our next cohort. You can begin at any time. Just make sure you're prepared to do the work, though, as the more you put into it the more you will reap the rewards.

Your book, in as many hands as possible. Changing as many lives as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you would like more details before you book your chat with Jo, here she answers the questions most people ask...

When is Chapter 9 going to be available?

As soon as possible! We don’t want to hold you up, but it’s important to be sure we are creating the most comprehensive and effective weekly plan for you. If you would like to be the first to hear about Chapter 9’s release, make sure you are signed up to our mailing list at https://jowildsmith.com/the-contents-page

Why is a longer-term launch plan necessary?

There are a number of reasons, including more sales, far wider reach, stability, ever-increasing visibility, building your fan base, becoming known… but also times are changing. No longer is it viable to orchestrate a glut of sales on a given day to guarantee and Amazon Best Seller. Marketplaces such as Amazon are now favouring books that show a sustained sales pattern.

Why isn’t Chapter 9 being delivered live?

We fully appreciate and understand that writing a book is an involved process, and that every author is finishing their masterpiece based on their own timelines, so it’s simply not practical to run live sessions on dates that work for everyone.

Instead, you will be sent the videos weekly, every week for the full nine months.

Is there a 1 to 1 element with this Nine-Month Launch Plan?

No, I’m afraid not. Imagine the logistics! However, there will be a weekly opportunity to ask me for help in our dedicated WhatsApp group for the duration of your plan, and I will be hosting monthly live accountability sessions.

I’ve already released my book, is it too late for me?

While Chapter 9 is based on the ‘3 months before and 6 months after’ concept, the fact is that doing this Nine-Month Launch Plan will help you even if your book has been on sale a while.

Is this just for print and ebooks, or for audiobooks too?

t’s for all of them. Yes, audiobooks too! Also fiction, non-fiction, children’s books…

Why are there two prices, why can’t I pay in full, and why isn’t it free if I have an Opus or Vox package?

There are two different prices because one is for those who have published their book with Jo Wildsmith Publishing, at £99 per month.

The £149 price is for authors who haven’t published with us.

There is no pay-in-full option deliberately. For a start, paying monthly helps to hold you accountable and remind you that this is something you are committing money to, but also it keeps it straightforward, you don’t pay, you don’t receive your next videos.

I have also made the decision not to include it in our packages because it needs to be recognised as a commitment, as opposed to our packages which are very much done-for-you.

Can I dip in and out of the Nine-Month Launch Plan?

While yes, technically you can, I'd say to get the best out of it you need to follow it week-by-week, as often one week will lead to the next.

I recommend you follow the whole plan in order, and if you do have to pause, you will probably need to go back to the beginning again to get the most out of it.
There is no penalty for only doing the work that particularly suits you and your book, but the more you make the effort and follow the plan, the more opportunities for success will open up.

Is there a done-for-you version of Chapter 9, the Nine-Month Launch Plan?

It is my intention that there will be, though it will not be until 2027. It will also be at a much higher price point, as I’m sure you can imagine.

Generally, much of the content of Chapter 9 benefits from you taking the action yourself, but yes, one day there will be a ‘Chapter 10.’
