A key difference between traditional and self publishing is control over marketing funnels. Traditional publishers manage distribution and publicity, but authors have limited control over targeting, messaging, and optimization.
In contrast, self publishing gives full control over the marketing funnel, from awareness to conversion. Authors can build landing pages, run ads, and test campaigns using CRO principles. Metrics like click-through rate (CTR), cost per acquisition (CPA), and email conversion rates become central to growth.
This flexibility allows for continuous improvement, similar to SaaS growth models, where campaigns are refined through A/B testing and audience segmentation.
