I wanted to get you all the eBook and Audiobook over the weekend. However, I made one last round of edits and added a TON of bonus content to the audiobook. I hope it was worth the wait 😊.
Also, you all smashed through the Kickstarter funding goal for the Author Marketing Superpower Deck! I’m very grateful for your support and so excited to share with you the Readers First Challenge, digital bonuses, and OF COURSE the physical cards for everyone who backs the campaign before it ends.
You can scoop up your sidedeck and all the awesome bonuses at a limited-time discount right here 👇
📚 Free eBook of the 50 Author Marketing Superpowers
Right here you can download the eBook copy of Author Marketing Superpowers in .epub and .pdf formats.
In the coming days, I am setting up a landing page specifically for the eBook and Audiobook of Author Marketing Superpowers and will allow downloads through BookFunnel. This will make it easy for authors not on this newsletter to easily sign up and get access to all 50 Marketing Superpowers completely for free.
However, this is my first time ever offering a digital download through Substack. How is the experience, in your opinion?
Is it a huge pain or a easy enough? I’m super curious to know your thoughts! And of course, if you have any questions or trouble with anything at all I am here to help 💙.
🎧 Free Audiobook of the 50 Author Marketing Superpowers
BONUS CONTENT ALERT 🚨: Despite the physical cards, and therefore the eBook and digital cards being packed with information, there is limited room for me to get into deep personal anecdotes outside of the case studies and examples. HOWEVER, the audiobook, contains many personal stories from me that reinforce the superpowers in addition to the core content.
Essentially, it’s a little Easter Egg just for listening to the audiobook! 🥚
You can listen to the Audiobook of Author Marketing Superpowers for FREE on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and anywhere else you listen to podcasts.
Note: The audiobook will also eventually be posted to YouTube. For now, I’m waiting till I get all 50 of the illustrated cards back as each one will be featured in the video version. I’m also posting it to BookFunnel too, just getting the landing page for downloads set up first :).
❓ Feedback on the 50 Superpowers Before It Goes to Print?
First, I hope you enjoy reading and or listening to the 50 Author Marketing Superpowers. The entire goal of the cards is to be a sidedeck on your journey of putting your Readers First and growing your publishing business.
Author Marketing Superpowers was created with a radical premise. The job of an author is NOT to write books. Instead, it’s to entertain and improve the lives of your readers.
This is a subtle change, but when you truly embody what Readers First means for your publishing career, it changes everything.
These cards were created to combine all of the essential insights in a world-class business course for authors into a format that is digestible, fun, and gives you the customization to mix and match different superpower combos at any time.
With all of this said, I’d love your feedback. What do you like about the cards? What do you wish were different? Are there any powers you really enjoyed? Any powers that confused you?
Feel free to email me your feedback at hello@authorsidekick.com or comment on this post! I plan to make one final round of edits to the cards after your feedback and BEFORE the big print run of 1,000 copies. Of course, the digital version is always easy to change, but I don’t want a print run that big getting outdated so fast!
👀 Sneak Peek at More of the Digital Cards… Coming for Free to an Inbox Near You Soon
I just got some new illustrations in for the Teleportation Powers. Here is the front of some of the cards (the backs are packed with tons more info and action steps!) 😍.





In addition to the Digital Deck of Author Marketing Superpowers dropping at the beginning of April, I have some more useful and free surprises planned between now and then. The adventure of making marketing fun again never stops!
With that said, I’ll be back sometime tomorrow (and maybe later today if I’m ambitious) with my blog for this week all about Self Publishing 4.0: The New Age of Story and Commerce for Authors. It’s gonna be a bit mindblowing.
In the meantime don’t forget…
Together we are boundless,
Michael Evans

P.S. This weekend, I also took a brief detour to Barbie Land. That is not a joke. A last-minute opportunity popped up that I had to jump on, and I have fun plans for us to go Beyond the Book together. You’ll have to wait to find out exactly what I mean. But folks on the Beyond the Book Waitlist already heard about it 😆. You might want to join that!
