How to Make a Website for You and Your Fiction!

It sounds simple enough! You create a three or four page website containing an author's biography, books page, contact page, and if you are lucky a page full of great reviews from your lucky readers. This is so unbelievably mistaken, it's not funny.

A small website on their servers is exactly what the publishing companies throw together for you when they put your name and book on the world wide web. Are they really doing you or your book a service? Well, sure, in one aspect. It is a place to personally send people to purchase your book, but is this enough in the high competition fiction book market to actually foster enough sales to break even?

As an author, you need to make your own website so that it naturally attracts new potential customers, not just provide a place to send people to like over 90 percent of the other author websites out there. The best approach to take in how to make a website is to learn the basics of building a website the right way, including the much needed search engine optimization techniques that get your website on the map of the world wide web.

In order to see the true difference between a standard throw together website and one that is properly developed and produced, here are some web traffic statistics.

Website 1 - 4 improperly built web pages that a publisher throws together in a week.

Website 2 - 50 properly built web pages of keyword rich content that you create about you and your writing.

Website 1 may get 20 to 30 visitors per month after a year including the people you personally send to it. Website 2 may get 10,000 visitors or more per month after a year not including the people you send to it. Believe it or not, that is the power you will have if you learn how to make a website the right way.

If you are thinking about developing an author website or a book website, think about what a well developed and optimized website can really do for you in the future. A website is your 24/7 sales person. You do the work once to set up your website and it will continue to work for you until you pull the plug.

A website attracts people from all over the world to view your content, it walks them through your marketing process, sells you books or services, processes the orders, and automatically triggers delivery of your books or services.

Your website needs to be more than just a spot on the World Wide Web that no one in the world is ever going to find. People aren't exactly looking for you or your fiction books yet...they are looking for information and things of interest - content and information - bar none!

If you just create a website and only put things about you in it, no one is going to find your website. If you just put one blurb on a webpage about your book, no one is going to find your book. Believe me, before I really found out how to make a website, I learned the hard way that if you don't know what you are doing, you are just wasting your precious time.

I'm tired of seeing writers give up on their dreams of successfully selling their fiction because of the lack of book sales from poorly deployed marketing techniques and lack of assistance from their publisher!

I'm sure Stephen King wasn't as popular back when he first started as he is now. But, once you become a well known published author with a few books under your belt, maybe people will be looking for you to get to your books that way.

When you are first starting out in the world as a published author, you need a lot more interesting content on your website that is going to magically attract visitors - visitors from all over the world that are going to purchase the kinds of books they like - the kinds of books you write. You also need to understand how to make a website to get visitors using little effort in the years to come so you don't have to work so hard at marketing your books in the future.

How to make a website is one of those things that everyone takes for granted and no one is really teaching you. Don't be like your competition! Step outside of the box and take this opportunity to learn what most writers and publishers just don't seem to understand and is actually holding them back from achieving their publishing dreams!

Learn how to make a website and see how fast your website becomes a powerful, automatic marketing tool for you and your fiction. Learn the simple and proven methods of developing your own fiction author and book website that will help you find more customers and sell more books than you have ever dreamed possible, even if your book is already on the market and failing miserably!
