How To Build An Author Website
Author websites! I have FEELINGS about them! And lots of knowledge!
This video is a comprehensive overview of why you need an author website, buying a domain, where you can and should build your site, how much it can/will cost, what I think is a waste of money vs. what is a good investment, the best website platform for authors, how and where I built my website AND MORE. At the end, I have my key recommendations for each type/price point with a snazzy on-screen demonstration.
