Having a sleek, professional
author website with useful links and great content will encourage visitors to spend more time exploring your pages and to return often.
In this post, I want to walk you step - by - step through building your
own author website from scratch.
Working at a company that specializes in
building author websites, we get to hear from authors about the books that are inspiring them.
Rather than listing a bunch of forums threads, websites and anecdotes from individuals, I've summed up the main features readers are looking for
from author websites they visit.
An awesome
author website needs interactive elements with features that have functionality for you — and a payoff for your fans!
In order to maximize exposure be sure to create your very own
author website as well.
If what readers care about were limited to what's on the page, then there would be no reason for people to
visit author websites.
You might need to learn a little bit of some technical skills or you can
get author website maintenance services.
Let's take a look at some high - quality
author websites so you can immerse yourself in them.
Part of your book marketing plan may be to design a
great author website full of keywords to help drive traffic to you and your books alone.
When you interact with people on the Internet, you should already have set up your own
author website where they can find information about your books and other works.
