Dear Author,
Have you ever had an idea for a book, but wasn’t sure if it would sell?
Maybe you’re already working on a book, but looking to choose the right book title or cover. Because everyone judges a book by its cover, right?
I’ve been there.
I would have a great book idea but would hesitate pursuing it because I thought, “What if it didn't work?”
Other times, after I’d already spent time and energy writing my drafts, I’d get stuck on choosing the title and cover.
I thought I had the perfect title, but I’d ask around and my friends and family thought it was stupid. And they weren’t even my target readers!
Or I’d pay a costly book cover designer to come up with some great options, only to be paralyzed by my own indecision.
So, I thought, there needs to be a service that can get me reliable feedback about my books and projects.
It’d have to be fast and simple - ideally with results in 10 minutes. I mean, have you ever tried running (and waiting for) ads online?
And it’d have to be unbiased, because friends and family are supportive, but too supportive to be truly honest.
Plus, it needs to be private, because who really wants their works in progress and brain farts all over the Internet?
And ideally, it’d allow me to get feedback from only my target audience: people who resemble my customer base.
This led me to create PickFu:
The world's first real-time feedback tool that top authors like Joanna Penn, Jeff Goins and Steve Scott use to test book titles and covers... without risk.
How does PickFu work? You ask a question and give them 1-8 book title or cover options. Then PickFu brings in targeted respndents. They'll answer with their choice and detailed explanation on why they chose it to gather valuable data and new ideas.
In as little as 10 minutes, you can see if that title or cover is really as compelling to your audience as it is to you.
PickFu can also be a powerful innovation tool that you can use at will to come up with breakthrough ideas.
At Tony Robbin’s seminar Business Mastery, he brings in the most successful business owners and CEOs in the world.
He talks about how the #1 way the most successful companies in the world innovate faster: top CEOs always bring in new voices.
Tony goes on to say, "You need people who have a completely different voice, perspective, completely different life experience. They will naturally cause you to innovate. New voices will cause innovation to occur and happen very rapidly."
That's where PickFu can help - by bringing in new voices so you come up with innovative ideas more rapidly.
PickFu.com is my go-to tool whenever I want direct and honest feedback for my cover or book title. What I love is I get results within an hour and how the respondents provide a detailed 'reason why' they voted a certain way.
You'll get honest, reliable, unbiased, and targeted feedback from U.S based people.
Not only can you use this powerful tool to come up with and test new ideas, it can also help you increase sales and conversions.
Simple changes to a book’s cover can dramatically boost sales. But just how much?
Dave Chesson at Kindlepreneur highlights the case of Martin Lake:
“A couple of years ago, Martin Lake’s book sales were dismal. As a self-published author, he was selling just 15 books per month….
Well, Martin didn’t just accept those sales and move on. He changed his book cover design for the first book in his three-part series…and his sales of all three books tripled!
Two months later, he changed the covers of the second and third books to match the first in quality, and his sales doubled again.
He didn’t change his writing, or even his marketing plan... he simply changed his book cover design.”
So yes - the right cover can make all the difference. But how do you know which cover is best? In the past, this was mostly a game of gut and guessing.
With PickFu, there’s no need to guess any more. You can get results in just 10 minutes.
What if you could get targeted feedback on your book marketing within minutes and a full explanation of why they said it? PickFu can help you answer these key questions:
Which book title is more compelling?
Which book title is best for a book on (YOUR SUBJECT)?
Which book cover would make you want to purchase?
Which book (title and cover) would you want to give as a gift?
Which book description makes you want to read more?
JUST ASK and let PickFu tell you within 10 minutes.
With PickFu poll results, you get helpful demographic information. You'll get their age, education, ethnicity, and gender for each response. Or you can limit your respondent pool by their age, income, gender, Amazon Prime membership, and over 30 specific traits.
Have you ever asked your followers which book covers or titles they prefer? DON'T EVER DO IT AGAIN. People tend to just mimic what someone they believe "knows more" said. Instead use PickFu. Immediate feedback from up to 500 real people!
PickFu will help you choose good alternatives (and get some sleep!).I use this service whenever I need to quickly get feedback on a product listing or website design. Within 15 minutes, you can have real people within your targeted demographic answer a poll or fill out a survey about your product or service. It’s totally worth using before you launch anything!
I highly recommend PickFu to the authors and aspiring authors I work with. Having the ability to objectively split test book covers and book titles from an unbiased audience is vitally important. Book titles and book covers can significantly impact purchase conversion, and a non-fiction author's thought leadership. Being able to test these factors is peace of mind.
I use PickFu to split test book titles and covers. It's been extremely helpful to know what readers prefer before I self-publish my books on Amazon. It enables me to make better decisions without relying purely on intuition.
I truly am a happy customer. What struck me the most was the quality and context of some of the comment responses. They will actually inform some choices as I move forward with this project.
Mit PickFu habe ich endlich eine Plattform gefunden, auf der ich verschiedene Buchcover und Texte bei meiner Zielgruppe gegeneinander testen kann. Ein echter Gamechanger für mein KDP Business!
I like to use PickFu to understand what people think about my cover designs and titles. For my books to sell well, I must know what potential customers are interested in and what draws them to my books. The cover must be good because it is the first thing my readers see, and if it is appealing, they may consider the book further and maybe even buy it.I do run polls on Facebook, but they take a long time, and for a survey to be good, a lot of people need to give feedback; otherwise, the result can be misleading. I don’t always get enough input from Facebook polls.I designed two covers myself, and naturally, I was biased and, therefore, blind to the issues that they had. When I put the two book covers on PickFu, I received feedback from 80 people within hours. It was apparent which cover to use after that, and I was surprised how my judgment of how good the other cover was so far off. I saw the light!PickFu is not only useful for cover comparisons, but it is also helpful in validating your business ideas, logos, and ad creatives. It helps you optimize your product listings, and much more.I recommend using PickFu to improve your customer engagement and ultimately, your sales.
PickFu makes it incredibly easy for authors to test their book covers and titles. You can get results quickly since PickFu has an established testing audience, and survey respondents need to say why they made the selection they did — this way, you’ll know they didn’t arbitrarily choose one design over the other.
I have loved PickFu and recommended it to dozens of people already. I've used it to quickly iterate ideas and have some data to make decisions. I'm a huge fan and will definitely continue using it for various projects.
You could do focus groups that take a lot of time.
You could spend thousands to hire a market research company that would take weeks or months to get answers.
You could spend months talking with people on the streets until you get enough data to make a decision.
Or you could do it the easy way, and get targeted feedback within 10 minutes. It’s just $1 per response (minimum order is 50). We’ll even give you 10 PERCENT OFF if you act within the next 7 days... just use “10OFF” at checkout.
If you’re not 100% satisfied for any reason, just send us an email and we’ll give you 100% of your money back. No hassles, no hoops to jump through, and no questions asked.
So if you’re not sure if your idea will sell, or you have a question before you make a key product decision, or maybe you just want a second opinion before you invest your valuable resources, then click the button below to create your first poll within 1 minute and get answers within 10 minutes.
