David Mathison: Building an Effective Author Website (continued)

Tips for author websites:
  • The key to an author site is to get contact information. To do that you need to offer something of value, like a free download.
  • You need a way to drive people to your site.
  • For search engine optimization put important information and key words at the top.
  • Promiscuously place a button to buy the book.
  • Find services like Paypal of One Shopping Cart to manage sales. Sales Force helps you manage your customer information.
