Should you build a website for your book?
Of course you should! In fact, there are few things that can help you sell more books than to have a website dedicated to your book’s success.
If you’ve never built a website before, then this may seem like a daunting task. Fortunately, building a website for your book is extremely easy and FREE!
Here’s how to do it:
- Create an account on Google’s Blogger system (https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount?service=blogger). It is important to think about your blog’s name because it will appear like this: yourblog.blogspot.com. So, if the name of your book is “The Happy Chef”, then you might name your blog thehappychef.blogspot.com.
- Once you have created your account, go to the Dashboard for your blog and click on the “Layout” link. You can customize the look of your blog here by clicking the “Pick a New Template” link.
- Now, you can start putting content on your website. This is easy. Just click on the “+ New Post” link on your dashboard and start writing! You can format your text, add pictures, insert hyperlinks to make everything look like you want.
- When you have finished your first post, just click on the Publish button, and it will show up on your site!
There are a number of other Blogging systems out there if you prefer to work with something else. A couple others you might investigate are Wordpress and Typepad.
Regardless of the system you choose, there is no reason to spend a lot of money (or a lot of time) building a website. The most important thing is to go ahead and do it!
Once you have a website, you have a platform you can use to promote your books with advertising and word-of-mouth marketing techniques.
