Amazon A+ content for authors.
Enhanced Amazon book branding
Greater visibility beyond Amazon
Amazon A+ Content gives self-published authors and independent publishers the opportunity to enhance their Amazon book pages with richer visuals, branded graphics and supporting text. Rather than relying solely on a standard product listing, A+ Content allows you to present your author brand, publishing identity, featured titles and promotional messaging in a more engaging and professional way.
Spiffing Publishing can manage the full A+ Content process, from account activation and publisher logo setup to bespoke banner design, content development, product linking and final publication on Amazon. Because this added content can also be indexed by Google, it can help improve discoverability beyond Amazon itself, supporting both reader engagement and wider book visibility.

Websites for self-published authors.
For authors building a professional online presence.
Create a polished homepage for your publishing life.
An author website is far more than an online brochure; it's the home of your author brand. Whether readers discover you through Amazon, social media or word of mouth, a professional website helps establish credibility, showcase your books and give potential readers a place to learn more about you and your work. It can also serve as a hub for blogs, news, mailing lists and links to retailers.
We create flexible, professionally designed author websites that can grow alongside your writing career. Starting with the essentials and expanding as your audience grows, each site is designed to help you connect with readers, strengthen your online presence and support long-term book sales across multiple titles and series.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When should I start marketing my book?
Ideally, marketing should begin well before your book is published. Building an author website, establishing your online presence and preparing your promotional materials early gives readers time to discover you before your launch, helping create momentum when your book finally becomes available.
Q: Do I need to market my book if it's already published?
Absolutely. Many books continue finding new readers months or even years after publication. Updating your book listing, improving discoverability and maintaining an active online presence can all help extend the life of your book long after launch day.
Q: What's the best way to market a self-published book?
Successful book marketing usually combines several approaches rather than relying on a single tactic. A professional book cover, strong Amazon listing, author website, search engine optimisation, social media activity and reader engagement all work together to increase your book's visibility over time.
Q: Do I need an author website?
An author website gives readers a central place to learn about you and your books. Unlike social media, it's a platform you own and control, allowing you to showcase your work, collect mailing list subscribers, share news and provide direct links to retailers.
Q: What is Amazon A+ Content?
Amazon A+ Content enhances your Amazon book page with professional graphics, additional text and branded content. It helps create a richer buying experience for readers while also providing additional content that can be indexed by Google, helping improve your visibility beyond Amazon itself.
Q: Can book marketing guarantee sales?
No marketing service can guarantee book sales. However, effective marketing helps more readers discover your book, improves your professional image and increases the opportunities for your work to be seen by the people most likely to enjoy it.
Q: How important are Amazon keywords and categories?
Keywords and categories play an important role in helping readers discover your book while browsing Amazon. Choosing them carefully improves your chances of appearing in relevant searches and reaching readers who are already interested in your genre or subject.
Q: Should I be active on social media as an author?
Social media can be an excellent way to connect with readers, but it's most effective when approached consistently rather than trying to be everywhere at once. Choosing one or two platforms you genuinely enjoy using is often more productive than spreading yourself too thin.
Q: Is Amazon enough, or should I promote my book elsewhere?
While Amazon is an important retailer, many readers discover books through search engines, websites, newsletters, social media, podcasts, blogs and word of mouth. Building your presence across several channels gives your book more opportunities to be found.
Q: Why is SEO important for authors?
Search engine optimisation helps readers discover your books when searching online. Whether through Google or retail platforms such as Amazon, carefully written content, relevant keywords and well-structured book listings can improve your visibility and attract more potential readers.
Q: How can I encourage readers to discover my other books?
Building an author brand rather than promoting a single title makes it much easier for readers to explore your wider catalogue. Author websites, Amazon A+ Content and professionally linked book pages all help introduce readers to your other books and series.
Q: How long should I keep marketing my book?
Book marketing is most effective when viewed as an ongoing process rather than a one-off launch campaign. Regular updates, fresh content and continued reader engagement can help your book remain visible and continue attracting new readers long after publication.
Q: Can you help first-time authors with marketing?
Absolutely. Many authors feel overwhelmed by marketing because it's unfamiliar territory. We explain the available options in plain English and help you focus on practical activities that will make the greatest difference to your visibility and long-term author brand.
Q: Is book marketing worth the investment?
Publishing a great book is only part of the journey. Marketing helps readers discover that your book exists in the first place. Investing in professional marketing materials, discoverability and author branding gives your book a stronger opportunity to stand out in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
