There is no doubt that the one thing every author needs is a strong digital footprint. This starts with a really good website, one that spells out the key features of your book, builds your credibility, reinforces your authority to write the book, showcases your products and services and enhances your appeal to potential media platforms to interview you about your book and your concept overall.
Now that’s a lot for a website to do, and it’s why a lot of authors really miss a major promotional opportunity because they either don’t have an online presence or the one they have doesn’t really do them justice. Every author needs to start with a well designed, strategically planned website, that can be added to over time, as their product offering increases.
I’ve been working with the team Lightning Sites on developing some really smart author website templates. This means you get to have an author site that has all of the right elements, determined by me, a highly experienced author coach, that can grow over time.
Kody Thompson, the Founder of Lightning Sites, is a very smart man. I’m very impressed by his operation, his team, their approach to building sites, the systemised operating model that they work towards – and the end result. This site is one of theirs, and I’m sure you would agree it’s pretty impressive. I recommend Kody and the team as the “go to” web developers for all of my author clients.
If you want a visually impressive author site, with all of the most important strategic elements included, created in a timely manner, that is affordable, check out Kody’s video above and drop him a line at hello@lighthningsites.com or schedule a call with him below.. Make sure you do this as soon as you can, don’t wait for your book to come out. It’s much better for authors if their website is up and running before their book is published.
