3 Secrets to Creating an Author Website that Sells Books

Many authors struggle with marketing their book effectively so that it leads to sales. Simply having a website with pretty pictures and basic content is not enough these days. Visitors to your site expect more and rightly so. Here are three secrets to having an author website that performs:

Secret Tip #1: Focus On Your Visitors -Not Yourself
Although your website is about you, visitors are looking for what’s in it for them. Place content on your site that adds value or solves a problem for the visitor. Providing details so that your potential audience gets to know you better is important, but keep in mind that the reason for visiting your site is purely selfish. Providing free downloads of sample chapters or mp3s of you reading from your book can be valuable content that keeps them engaged with your brand.

Secret Tip #2: Gather Visitor Contact Information 
Collecting email addresses of your website’s visitors is a smart move. Twitter, LinkedIn and other social networks are awesome for communicating, but email is still the most effective means of selling to an audience or informing them of your latest book release. Offering a free download of valuable content is the best way to encourage a visitor to share their email info. If you are not currently collecting emails from visitors Start Now. Your network that you build will truly determine your net worth.

Secret Tip #3: Engage Visitors With Video
 Video embedded on your site’s homepage is proven to help your site’s search engine rankings. Another immediate benefit is that video engages your audience powerfully, and can reach them in a way mere words cannot. Consider posting a video of yourself discussing key points about your book, or answering reader questions. Creating such interesting video content will help build your brand, engage your audience at a deeper level, and hopefully sell more books.

Employing these simple tips can really help your author website shine and be more effective in the book selling process. As you put them in place, you will enjoy more engaged visitors that keep coming back for more.

Trademarks are Essential for Your Business

Establishing a strong brand is important to business success and a trademark can become one of your company’s most valuable assets.

If your company, however, has not taken the steps to ensure that its name and any other trademarks are available for use, it may be forced to stop using a mark or worse yet, change its name. This could be devastating to business, especially after much time and equity has been put into building a brand.

Additionally, once it is determined that these names and/or marks are available, protecting the brand is of equal importance. Many small businesses overlook these important steps in creating and securing their brand.
Your brand is your identity and an important part of your marketing strategy. Having a federally registered trademark increases your credibility in your market, and enables you to prevent others from using your mark or a mark similar to yours in a manner that could harm your business.

Some Benefits of Trademark Registration are:

• Federally registered trademarks are protected throughout the United States rather than in one state.

• Federal registration provides evidence that you own your trademark. If you ever sue someone for trademark infringement, this fact will save you a great deal of time and legal fees.

• As an owner of a federally registered trademark, you are entitled to “treble damages”, which means you can recover three times your actual damages from the trademark infringer.

• You may also be able to recover any profits that the defendant earned while infringing your trademark, as well as any attorneys fees you incur during litigation.
