The Internet Is Powerful

The internet reaches millions of people. With so many of them out there, someone is bound to find you if you're online.

Create A Webpage
Create a webpage! If you don't know how, then learn, or find someone who does. Maybe you are computer illiterate, but it may surprise you what your 14-year-old is capable of if you hand him a keyboard. Create a page for your book, an online press-kit of sorts, and hyperlink your page to the Publisher (http://www.PublishAmerica.com) so that people can buy your book. (See Below)

Maintain Your Page, Part 1
Keep your page fresh by updating as often as you have news. If you are making an appearance to promote your book-a signing, reading, interview, whatever-post the date, time, and location on your webpage. If you get reviewed in the paper, announce the review, which paper it appeared in, and put the entire review online. The more often you update, the more often people will check back for updates.

Maintain Your Page, Part 2
Your webpage is also a great way to keep your visitors up-to-date on your new or upcoming projects. People who enjoyed your first book will likely be interested in your second. Make a point of using your webpage to announce, discuss, promote your new projects, as well as your old.

Create A Community
It may be worthwhile to offer a discussion group, message board, or mailing list by which visitors to your site may discuss and stay informed of your books. This will provide a great opportunity to interact with your readers, as well as bring return traffic to your site.

Advertise Your Website
Make sure people can find you. Register your site with search engines, get it listed in online writers directories, and get your friends, acquaintences, and online buddies to link to you from their own websites. The more visible you make your site, the more people will come to see it.

Make Your Book Available Online
It's very important to provide your visitors a way of purchasing your book directly from your website. The best way to do this is to link your site to the Publisher's bookstore (http://www.PublishAmerica.com). (See Below)
