Top Five Things You Should Have On Your Home Page
Project Type: N/A
1. Your name. You want it big across the top of the page. But you
should also have it in text somewhere on the page.
This is a great way for search engines to find you. Also, if your name
is written across the page in a weird color or a hard
to read font, this lets people know how to correctly spell your name.
2. The Name of your book. And not just in an image. You want it written
in text. Again, for ease of spelling and for search
engines.
3. Your publisher, if you write for one. This something so many authors
forget, especially if they write for more than one
publisher. Don’t take for granted that your readers know which
publishers you write for. Make it easy on them to find the
book and more information.
4. A way to contact you! Via email, a contact form, snail mail or a
publisher. Have a way to contact you on your home page,
very visible! You never know who will visit your site and want to
contact you. Say, the Boston Globe. Or perhaps someone is
giving away free promo and you’ve won.
5. Your book cover. Whether you like your cover or not, it’s your
book’s face to the world. The cover takes your book from
invisible to visible and you want readers to see it, remember it, and
pick it up at the book store. So include your current
cover prominently on your homepage. Keep all other covers to a minimum
on your home page so not to confuse anyone.
