Author Websites
Why have an author website?
With an author website, you can promote your books and author brand exactly how you want, working to establish your authority and credibility as an author among the crowd. Author websites give you as an author a dedicated platform to connect with your readers and showcase your work in real time, while even giving you the option to market and self-sell your books directly to readers.
Self-published authors in particular benefit significantly from having an author website. As a self-published author, you have to work harder for your book to be recognised, so having an author website is a powerful marketing tool to have under your belt. You can use it to not only showcase your books, but to also keep you in the minds’ your readership through blogging, newsletter subscriptions, and more. A dedicated author website also lets you view your analytics and website traffic and help inform your marketing efforts.
