For book/ebook authors, publishers, & self-publishers

\Author websites can be one of the most important marketing items you have in your arsenal. With the explosion of Web2.0 and the demand of having quick websites, this is the perfect way to drive up sales but more importantly to keep your readers reading. Here are some tips for your website.
1) Make sure your web page is organized and clean. Do not have a bunch of ads all over your site.
2) Make sure that your homepage fonts are consistent. Topic titles all need to be one kind of font and one size and the actual information needs to all be one kind of font and size. The text should be times at 12 pt. just like a book.
3) Have a picture of yourself on your homepage but do not make it a massive image. A small picture is just fine.
4) Have a picture of your book.
5) Make sure you have links to buy your book on places like Amazon.com or BN.com. Yes, you get more money if your customers buy direct from you but Amazon and BN will help you in the long run. The more people buy from these locations the more they will recommend your book.
6) Stores should only have things like tee shirts and stuff, not your book. Again send them to Amazon.com!
7) Make sure you have a blog! Post in your blog daily!
8) Have a page that tells people about events coming up
9) Have a bio page
10) Have a page about your book
11) Look at putting together pages for your main characters
12) Be creative but make sure the website is not cluttered.
13) Google like content not a bunch of pictures! Make sure you have at least 100 words for every HTML add on you put on your website or picture. It will make Google happy!
