Author Websites
A book author without a website simply isn’t in the game these days. Public visibility is a vital key to building book sales, and a great author website design and blog is the foundation of a good book marketing plan.
Connect with people who care about what you’re saying
Book marketing and publicity is all about access; an interesting, well run, and frequently updated author website or author blog can achieve an audience of immense proportions for your material, and for very little financial investment. There are really two different types of websites: The typical “static” website is like a brochure, made up of a few pages that aren’t updated often, if at all. Then there’s the “blog”, which is made up of lots of pages that are added to frequently, and even allows for reader response and discussion. The ideal author platform is a seamless blending of the two.
The right tools give you a competitive advantage
Web technology is constantly changing, improving, and becoming more complex – even web professionals have a hard time keeping up. It makes sense to hire a someone who can provide you with an attractive yet advanced author website design complete with built-in blog, but also get you started right with search engine optimization, tech support, and even host your site for you. If that someone also knows the book business, well, that’s a match made in heaven!
