The Package-Deal Believer
Platinum Paula
“I paid $15,000! Of course my publisher has a plan to make my book successful!”Platinum Paula
Running gag: She discovers another essential service that wasn't included in her publishing package.
The mistake
What does a publishing package usually leave out?
Many publishing packages end at publication. Marketing, a website, an email list, an offer and a long-term plan are often extra or missing. Before paying for more services, an author needs a roadmap that shows the whole ecosystem and which pieces are already covered.
Signs you're Paula
- You paid for a package and still don't know the marketing plan
- Every month brings a new add-on to buy
- Nobody can tell you what success should look like in a year
- You own a book, but not a system

Sienna would check which parts of the package bring clients, and which only bring invoices.
