How Estorytellers Rescued a Struggling Book and Turned It Into a Bestseller

Vinay Patel (name changed for confidentiality) had self-published his sci-fi thriller a year ago, but despite positive feedback from friends, the book wasn’t selling. No visibility. No reviews. No traction. It was buried under thousands of titles on Amazon.

He believed in his story—but knew something wasn’t working.

The Issues He Faced

  • Poor Amazon discoverability (bad metadata, no keywords)
  • No social proof—barely any reviews or media mentions
  • Weak cover design and generic product description
  • No structured marketing plan post-launch

Estorytellers’ Revamp Strategy

Amazon Optimization

We started with a complete overhaul of his Amazon listing—rewriting the title, subtitle, and book blurb to improve keyword relevance and appeal. We added backend tags, proper metadata, and SEO-rich descriptions that aligned with reader search trends.

Cover Redesign

The original cover lacked genre alignment. Our designers created a bold, visually striking cover that immediately signaled “sci-fi thriller” to browsing readers.

Influencer Outreach & PR

We created a tailored list of sci-fi bookstagrammers, YouTubers, and podcasters. Gifting campaigns, ARC requests, and interview pitching helped us generate buzz and build authority around the book.

Strategic Book Promotions

We ran limited-time Kindle deals, Amazon ads, and genre-specific promo campaigns. Our timing was intentional—launching during a peak reading season to capture audience momentum.

The Outcome

  • 400% increase in sales within two months
  • 45+ new reviews (from real readers)
  • Ranked Top 20 in Sci-Fi Thrillers on Amazon
  • Featured on a niche sci-fi book blog and podcast
  • Invited to speak at a regional comic con on indie publishing

Timeline Of Progress

Sci-fi genre-aligned cover redesign

400% sales spike + 45+ organic reviews + media features

Vinay’s Words

“I was ready to give up on my book. Estorytellers gave it a second life—and a much better one. Their marketing and optimization work didn’t just save it, they made it fly.”
