Authors, it’s no longer cool to just let retailers take up to 70% of your earnings and not even have the decency to share with you who your customers are.

Take back control. Take back profits. Take back the reader experience.

If you’ve got a book cover, then you’ve got design ideas for your author website! 📚 💻

When your book covers are on genre and on brand, they can be the perfect inspiration when it comes to figuring out how to design your author website. And as a bonus, the more your design and branding elements match across your entire author platform, the easier it gets for readers to recognize you. It’s a win-win! 🙌

Domain names...are they really that serious? 🤔

Quite frankly, yes! This is about more than just choosing a URL for your website because you have to. It’s about good branding, discoverability, and memorability—all important ingredients for building a successful author business in every way.

So take your time. Give it thought. Do some research. You’ll thank yourself later!
