Crushing it with WordPress: How to Publish an Author Website

Are you satisfied with your book sales? It doesn’t matter if you are a published author or a self–published one. One thing is certain – you are responsible for marketing your book to increase sales. Most authors are not marketing experts. Nor are they technology experts.

That’s why I created this course, for you!

An author’s website is a foundation for increasing book sales. The uses of a website are numerous:

Add a link to your website on your book’s back matter to direct readers to find more of your books

Use your website to grow an email marketing list, which always leads to more sales

Post updates on your website’s blog to keep your readers engaged and help them know you better

Sell copies of your books directly on your website

Link all of your social media accounts so readers know where to find you

Host giveaways and promotions on your website

and so many more uses!

Most authors rely on easy–to–use websites like Wix or Weebly to create their websites. That’s a great idea if you’re just getting started, but you’ll quickly find those sites have too many limitations and can get quite costly long–term. You don’t own any part of the platform on Wix, so the amount of control you have over your website is limited, too.
