BookFunnel: Empowering Self-Published Authors
Tuesday, February 03, 2026
As a self-published author, you've already conquered the hardest part - writing your book. But getting it into the hands of eager readers? That's where many authors struggle. Enter Bookfunnel.com, a game-changing platform designed specifically to help indie authors distribute their work, grow their readership, and build lasting connections with fans.
What Is Bookfunnel?
Bookfunnel is a comprehensive delivery and marketing platform that simplifies how authors share ebooks and audiobooks with readers. Whether you're offering a free reader magnet, running a promotional giveaway, or delivering purchased copies to your fans, Bookfunnel handles the technical heavy lifting so you can focus on what you do best - writing.
Effortless Ebook and Audiobook Distribution
One of the biggest headaches for indie authors is getting their books onto readers' devices. Different e-readers, apps, and formats can create confusion and frustration. Bookfunnel eliminates this problem entirely.
- Delivers ebooks to Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books, Nook, and any other e-reader
- Provides audiobook delivery with their dedicated app
- Offers step-by-step reader support so you don't have to troubleshoot tech issues
- Works seamlessly with all major file formats including EPUB, MOBI, and PDF
Grow Your Readership with Reader Magnets
Every successful author knows the power of a reader magnet, a free book or story offered in exchange for an email address. Bookfunnel makes creating and distributing reader magnets incredibly simple.
You upload your book, create a landing page, and share the link. When readers sign up, Bookfunnel delivers the book directly to their device and can automatically add their email to your mailing list through integrations with more than 15 services like Mailchimp, Kit (ConvertKit), and MailerLite and then with Zapier to any service that has an API, like ClickFunnels (See our separate post on exactly how to do this).
The result? A growing email list of engaged readers who are genuinely interested in your work.
Powerful Marketing Through Group Promotions
One of Bookfunnel's most valuable features is access to group promotions and targeted giveaways. These are collaborative events where multiple authors in your genre come together to cross-promote their books.
- Join genre-specific promotions to reach readers who love books like yours
- Participate in newsletter swaps to grow your mailing list
- Access curated giveaways that attract thousands of new readers
- Connect with fellow authors for cross-promotional opportunities

Don't Go It Alone
While Bookfunnel is an incredible tool, the most successful authors know that building a career requires more than just great software. It requires community, resources, and ongoing support.
That's why platforms like the AuthorHub exist, to provide self-published authors with the guidance, tools, and community connections they need to thrive. From marketing strategies to writing tips, from cover design resources to promotional calendars, the AuthorHub brings everything together in one place.
I use Bookfunnel to distribute eBooks and Audiobooks that I sell on my own website. The method I use is very simple. I have a "course" defined inside ClickFunnels, and when someone purchases an eBook or Audio book, I give them access to the course. The course has a Bookfunnel download link and goes into their Courses section in ClickFunnels so they can refer back to this link at any time.
I found this to. be easier to support than sending them a link in email, since they can go back to the Course at any time to get the link and they WILL lose the email!
Combine the power of Bookfunnel with the resources available through the AuthorHub, and you'll have everything you need to take your self-publishing journey to the next level.
Your readers are out there waiting. It's time to reach them.
Hi, I'm Tim Hewitt
CEO of AuthorHub.io
I won my first writing scholarship in high school by beating more than 300 other writers in a nationwide contest, and that award gave me something money couldn't buy: the belief that my words mattered. Since then I've spent decades learning what makes writing work: how to find your voice, how to keep readers turning pages, marketing that really sells books, and how to spot the small craft problems that quietly sink good stories. This blog is where I share everything I've picked up along the way.
