We love all of the cool Gumroad integrations that come along from outside of our HQ, because everyone benefits when connecting creators and audiences is a shared mission. While exploring Booklaunch.io to update our Integrations page, it quickly became apparent that we were seeing a game-changer in publishing.
If you’re a writer of books, this might just be the thing that kills the website for you.
With Booklaunch.io, you can create beautiful landing pages for your books in minutes. No coding, no hosting fees, built-in social sharing, no weird template drama—it’s just clean and simple.
There are two options for building a landing page. You can start from scratch and fill in each section, or, if you have one, you can enter your book’s ISBN-10 to auto-populate your book’s cover image, colors, title, and synopsis. And either way, you can fully customize colors and section order.
A basic account with unlimited pages is free, or you can upgrade to unlock email signups, custom domains, leveled-up analytics, custom CSS, meta tags, and to remove Booklaunch branding. A premium account costs about the same as an internet host (which you don’t need with Booklaunch), and as you can see, you get a lot more value.
To see what a finished page can look like, check out Hundred Thousand Heirs.
Let’s take a look. There’s information about the book, a way to purchase it, an email signup, and links for sharing. There are other types of sections you can add, like a video or some social proof. And it’s all there on one powerful page.
Add your cover and other images in fully-customizable sections. Answer FAQs, add a video trailer, share endorsements, add personal social links and an author photo, and most importantly, make your book beyond easy to buy. You can add a dead-simple Gumroad integration (with a free or premium account) for smooth overlay purchases.
What do you need—a dedicated site with ten pages? Hardly.
Take a few minutes to tool around with a free account and you’ll see how easy it is to build and launch a super-professional, impactful site for your book.
What’s that? You’re still here? Great. One last thing. The team at Booklaunch has provided a coupon code for the Gumroad community. After you check out a free account and are ready to upgrade, enter GUMROAD in your checkout and you’ll get two free months of premium access.
We love hearing your feedback. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or comments about this integration or any other part of Gumroad.
