About this video

Dale reviews Storyad, a sponsored author marketing platform, walking through its five main features. The author profile lets you add a photo, tagline, social links, a three-part author interview, and book listings with cover, description, audio and PDF samples, buy links, review-copy links and publishing details. He stresses using a universal book link so readers land on the right retailer for their region. Next is a customizable WordPress website built with Elementor, largely auto-filled from the profile. He then covers the Marketing Wizard, which asks about audience, genre, time and target market and generates a per-book action plan, and the Outreach Manager, which he says contains over 40,000 contacts for bloggers, reviewers and influencers with bulk email and templates inside the dashboard. The fifth feature is a profit-and-loss and book-worth calculator. On cost, he says Storyad normally offers a 7-day free trial, a Pro plan for less than about a dollar a day, or $280 for lifetime access, with a limited-time AppSumo lifetime deal he cites at $59. He cautions that Storyad is a tool you must actively use — it does not bring traffic or broker connections for you.

Key takeaways

• Complete the author profile first — the Storyad website is largely auto-built from those details.
• Use a universal book link as your Buy Now link so international readers reach the correct retailer and region.
• Use the Outreach Manager’s contact database and templates, but personalize emails rather than copy-pasting.
• Use the profit-and-loss calculator to track what a book earns and costs, especially on a tight budget.
• Storyad does not generate traffic itself; results depend on the author actively using its tools.
