INSTANT DIGITAL DOWNLOAD!

Learn how to support the systems that turn interested readers into connected subscribers.

Reader magnets and email lists are essential parts of an author’s business—but there’s much more happening behind the scenes than simply uploading a free book and collecting email addresses.

In Author Assistant Training Workbook 4: Reader Magnets & Email Lists, you’ll learn how reader-magnet funnels work from beginning to end and how an author assistant can help build, maintain, test, document, and troubleshoot them.

This practical workbook covers:

• What reader magnets are and how they fit into an author’s larger marketing system
• The complete reader journey from signup through delivery and follow-up
• Common tools including BookFunnel, StoryOrigin, MailerLite, Kit, and Mailchimp
• Lists, groups, tags, and segments
• Signup forms and landing pages
• Reader consent and appropriate assistant boundaries
• File delivery and version control
• Welcome emails and automated sequences
• Testing an entire reader-magnet funnel
• List hygiene, subscriber imports, and reader support
• Troubleshooting common signup and delivery problems
• Documenting systems so they can be maintained over time

Throughout the workbook, you’ll complete practical exercises based on realistic author-business situations, followed by an Answer & Discussion Guide and Skills Check to help you apply what you’ve learned.

You’ll finish with a complete Fable & Fiction Publishing reader-magnet simulation, where you’ll organize and troubleshoot a reader funnel for fictional author Delaney Vale.

Designed for aspiring and developing author assistants who want practical, publishing-specific training—not generic virtual assistant advice.
