Notice I didn’t title this “Book Website.” That’s because many of today’s popular authors are putting out so many books that it makes sense to only have an author website that contains all their books. Readers are used to this, so it’s good to go with the flow on this.
Your website name (domain name) must be your author name. So Jimmy Joe Schmidt’s site would be www.jimmyjoeschmidt.com.
Put a picture of your book(s) on the home page (very first page a visitor sees). Then you can add other pages or scrolling that includes the following:
- Pictures from or associate with your book (make sure it is a picture you took or is in Creative Commons)
- Creatively formatted description
- Good reviews from Amazon or Good Reads
- Blog
- Links to buy your book (Amazon, iTunes, etc.)
