If you're an author, you need a dedicated website. A site is the foundation of your author platform. Use it to grow your email list, and sell more books with Amazon links.

In this video, I show you how to make an author website, even if you have no technical experience. I go over the key pages your author website should have:

-A home page, which should convey the genre you write in and provide a link to your reader magnet (a free digital item you give out in exchange for an email address)

-An about page, which should contain a brief author bio, and link to your social media accounts and a contact form

-A page for each of your books, which should feature your covers, descriptions, Amazon purchase links, and chapter previews

Making an author website is especially important for self-published authors who sell books via Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing). 

These writers are responsible for their own book promotion. Having a great author website not only simplifies book marketing campaigns, but makes them more effective.
