Four ready-to-use templates that helps indie authors turn a scattered platform list into an intentional system — from first discovery to loyal superfan.

Most authors are active on five, six, sometimes ten platforms — but without a system connecting them, that effort doesn't add up to sales or superfans.

The Author Funnel System Template gives you a clear structure to map your own reader journey across five stages:

• Discovery — where strangers first find you

• Capture — where you get a way to reach them again

• Nurture — where you build the relationship

• Convert — where the sale happens

• Retain — where readers become superfans

Inside, you'll find a funnel stage reference guide, a fill-in-the-blank funnel map, an 8-row Platform Role Worksheet to assign every platform you use to its right stage, and a Funnel Health Checklist to spot gaps before they cost you sales.

Delivered as an instant-download, editable Word document. Built from a real, working author funnel — adaptable to any genre, platform mix, or stage of your author career.
