For authors, publishers and author-experts
Turn your book into a brand readers discover, trust, and buy from.
HQ360 combines brand, websites, SEO, content, social media, advertising, automation and reader technology into one connected growth system for authors and publishers.
We do not just promote books. We build the growth system that turns discovery into readers, readers into buyers, and buyers into an audience you can sell to again.

Where author and publisher growth usually stalls
The launch was quiet
Publication came and went. There was no plan for the weeks that actually decide a book's momentum.
The listing does not sell
Wrong categories, a flat description and a cover that does not earn the click. Readers who find it still bounce.
Reviews are thin
A handful of ratings, no system for getting more, and no idea which requests are compliant.
No platform beyond the book
No email list, no press, no reason for a producer or event to call. The book is the whole footprint.
Everything is bought piecemeal
A cover here, a publicist there, a funnel somewhere else, and nobody owns the result.
What is usually holding it back
- No dated launch plan
- Metadata and categories left at defaults
- No review-generation system
- No email list or reader magnet
- No press or podcast pipeline
The 360
The HQ360 Author Sales Flywheel
Every stage of the catalogue is one turn of the same wheel. Discovery feeds engagement, engagement feeds capture, capture feeds sales — and retained readers feed discovery again for the next book.
- 01Discover
SEO · Social · Ads · PR
Readers who do not know the author yet find the book at the moment of intent.
- 02Engage
Video · Content · Book hooks
The book's hook lands as something worth watching and sharing.
- 03Capture
Website · Landing page · Free chapter
Interest becomes an email address you own.
- 04Nurture
Email · Retargeting · Reader community
Warm readers are moved toward the buy decision.
- 05Sell
Amazon · Retailers · Direct purchase
The reader buys, on the retailer that suits them.
- 06Retain
Newsletter · App · Community
The buyer stays connected instead of disappearing.
- 07Sell again
Next book · Series · Audiobook · Course · Event
The audience is sold to again — and re-enters the cycle.
Back into the cycle. Each turn of the wheel lowers the cost of the next. Discovery you paid for once keeps producing readers; readers you captured once keep buying. That compounding loop is the 360.

How we run it
How an author engagement runs
- 01
Discover
We audit what exists — positioning, site, pipeline, spend and results — before we recommend anything.
- 02
Strategise
A written plan with owners, dates and target metrics. You approve it before work begins.
- 03
Build
Creative, sites, funnels and automation are produced and connected as one system.
- 04
Launch
Campaigns go live in sequence so each channel feeds the next, with close monitoring in the first weeks.
- 05
Optimise
A regular review where we cut what underperforms and move budget toward what is working.
- 06
Scale
Once the system is stable and measured, we add reach, channels and capacity deliberately.
