If you’re an author, it’s essential that you have your own author website. Most of the big chain book stores won’t stock a self published book but many self published authors have found success by taking their book marketing efforts online.
Mark Landsberg launched Self Publisher’s Place as a way for self published authors to promote their book. If you want to list your book at the website Self Publisher’s Place, having your own book author website is a requirement for listing your book. When Mark asks for your URL, he’s not asking for your publisher’s URL. He wants the address you’ve established to promote your book.
If you’re an author, it’s essential that you have your own author website to promote your book. That website should have a domain name that is yours and yours alone. Ideally, the domain name is either the name of your book or your author name.
Your book is your PRODUCT and you need to have a place where people can go to purchase your book. That’s why every author should have a website to sell and promote their book.
