Author: Stuart Swain, Platform: Amazon

Genre: Non-fiction, Mental Health, Social Commentary

Stuart Swain’s Mental America delivers raw, first-hand insight from his work as a crisis counselor, presenting 72 sobering observations that shed light on America’s deteriorating mental health landscape. The book aims to raise awareness, inspire conversation, and offer a rare perspective from someone working inside the system.

Project Overview

The Challenge

Despite its relevance and urgency, Mental America was struggling to gain visibility in the crowded non-fiction and mental health book markets. As a self-published title on Amazon, it lacked the organic exposure needed to attract its intended audience.

Key Challenges:
  • Limited public awareness about the book’s message and author.
  • No existing digital infrastructure (website or email list).
  • No traffic funnel to convert awareness into Amazon sales.

Project Scope

To solve these issues, we proposed a two-pronged digital strategy to build visibility, generate traffic, and drive conversions:
  • Custom Landing Page
  • Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Campaign
