Make a Website

You Need a Website or at the very least lots of exposure on the internet. How will anyone buy your book if they haven't heard of it or you?
Why you need a website
Efficiency
Putting your work and bio online acts as your writing portfolio. You can display your work, resume, reviews and interviews are all available to the hungry media and your website should sell your book for you, allowing customers to click to buy it and pay for it immeditately.
Branding
Your name is your brand and your calling card through which you can build the trust of your editors and readers alike – and let them be able to find you easily.
Business
It's more business-like to have a web site, you are more easily accessible to everyone and your promotional details, bio and even interviews can all be available in one easy access place.
Developing Skills
Creating and maintaining a website means that you exercise your writing and editing skills. It’s a great disicpline to keep and maintain a site. A huge learning curve, but it that means you are in control of your site and its content.
Build Your Own Website
How? I use
It taught me, held my hand all the way and continues to do so.
I'm no technie, I'm 51 years old and hadn't used a computer until about 1997.
Have a look at my other site www.world-travel-options.com I use SBI for that too.
No way could I be doing this alone, check out SBI for your own personal website. If you can send an email and write with a Word document you can build your own website.
