Who is Ink to Influence for?

This is the right move if:

You have a book out (or coming soon) and you want a plan for selling it, not more random tactics.
You want feedback on your plan, not just a plan to follow.
You're publishing seriously and ready to scale, not dabbling.
You'd rather invest in support than keep guessing on your own.
You want accountability and a coach who knows your books.

This group coaching experience is exactly what I didn't realize I needed... The level of service has blown me away, far more than I expected or anticipated from a group program.

My win is that in the first week of Thorne's release the KDP pages read equaled what I had done all year ahead of it ;) So in one week I doubled my KDP pages read for the year.

Hello

We're Method Agency

At Method Agency, we’re a digital marketing agency specializing in authors and fandom-driven brands.

Since 2013, we’ve partnered with hundreds of clients and authors across all genres – from debut novelists to established bestsellers – helping them turn publishing goals into sustainable, long-term careers. Our work sits at the intersection of marketing strategy, reader psychology, and fandom culture, helping authors understand how readers actually discover books today and how attention turns into lasting momentum.

Through coaching, custom marketing strategy, and programs like Ink to Influence, we combine big-picture thinking with practical execution. We don’t believe in chasing algorithms or short-term tactics. We help authors build repeatable systems that grow readership, increase visibility, and support consistent book sales over time.

Just a quick heads up: we do not work directly with or consult with authors in our coaching programs who use generative AI to create their books and products (including illustrations for picture books). Skip this if that's you!

All Your Questions Answered

Is this for me? Do I need to have a book out already?

Ink to Influence is built for authors who have already published at least one book and are past the beginner stage. Ideal for authors who have seen a little success but know there is more they can achieve. Authors with the most success are ready to put in a few focused hours a week to build a real audience and real sales. They are coachable, and excited to do the work to grow their audience and sell more books.

Here's who it's not for. Authors who haven't yet finished their book. Come back when the book is ready to launch (or better yet- when there are a few books published!).

Is this specific to my genre?

No. We teach you to build the strategy around your book, genre, and readers. The tactics change by book; the strategy doesn't.

I am Traditionally Published, will it work for me?

Yes. We have been working with traditionally published authors since 2013 and know how much of the marketing falls on you as the author.

I am Indie or Hybrid Published, will it work for me?

Yes. It is vital that Indie/Hybrid authors own their own marketing plans and strategies. Working with a coach is often the key to unlocking that next level of success you're after.

How much time will this take each week?

Our goal in the program is for you to get your marketing done in as little as 4 hours per week. Our Ink to Influence curriculum has two pacing options (8-week and 16-week).

Why don't you just tell me what this costs?

Fair question. There's more than one way to work with us inside of Ink to Influence: Accelerator, and the right one depends on your goals, your books, and where your career is right now. That's why we start with a conversation instead of a checkout button. On your call, an Author Strategist will talk through what you're trying to build and point you to the program that fits.

What we can tell you up front: our coaching programs are a four-figure investment, built for authors who are ready to scale and want real support getting there.

What happens after I apply?

You'll book a call with an Author Strategist. It's a real conversation about your goals, not a pressure pitch. If Accelerator is the right fit, great. If something else serves you better, we'll tell you that too.

Is there a payment plan?

Yes, we have options. Your Author Strategist will walk you through what's available on your call.
