Does every author need to spend $1,000 a month?
No. Focused assistance costs less, and authors can operate inexpensive tools themselves. Broader managed book marketing can exceed $1,000 a month. These published examples describe different scopes, not a market average or a guaranteed saving. Arkyvus is a software and automation benefit; personal publicist services and media relationships are separate.
