Author Website Service

Every Author Needs Their Own Website/Blog

Why? It gives you the opportunity to escape social media and have a platform to build genuine relationships with your readers. I explain why in greater detail in this video.

Did you know you only need 1,000 fans to support yourself as a writer? I explain how to do it in this video. You can stop the endless promotion of your book when you understand the process. It is probably the best investment in book marketing you can make.

Many authors feel intimidated about starting a website to increase their fan base and sell more books. That’s why I have created this special service to offer you a basic, functional, clear, easy-to-use WordPress website for a very low price. It is by an author for an author, and it’s too good to miss.

Here’s what you get for $195:

1. Basic, fully functional custom website set up and ready to use. The perfect look on computers and mobile devices.
2. Includes these 5 ready-to-use Main menu options: Home Page, Blog, About the Author, Buy My Book (I’ll set up your Amazon KDP link), Contact.
3. Additional 2 Footer menu options required by law: Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. These include standard boilerplate legal information for you to edit.
4. Install your email marketing system (to collect email addresses and send bulk emails to them).
5. Custom color and font settings on the standard template I use. See sample template images below.
6. Install the WordPress “plug-ins” you need:
   • Site backup/restore
   • Security to help guard against outside attacks
   • Classic Editor (makes posting easier)
   • Visitor Post Hit Counter
   • SEO module so your site can be discovered
   • GDPR Cookie Consent (required by some countries)
   • Free Assets Library (insert images easily)
     Note: These are the free versions of these plug-ins. You may upgrade to paid versions if you wish, but there is no real need to do that.
7. My support. Note: Individual services offer support for their products. My personal support includes:
   • A custom PDF booklet explaining how to get the most out of your author website. It includes how to add posts, edit images, best blogging practices, and how to gain extra income by becoming a product affiliate yourself.
   • Free email support for 30 days. Have questions about site functionality or procedures I didn’t cover in the PDF? I’ll respond in 24 hours, often less. There is a limit of four emails during this period, but you are free to ask as many questions as you need in each one.

When I release the site to you, everything is in place, ready for you to add your content. Find a “bug?” I’ll fix it fast at no extra charge.
Glamor is not the issue with an author’s site. Your purpose is not to dazzle them with fancy graphics or add-ons. The purpose is to create a pleasant, easy-to-use space that engages readers, helping you build a relationship with them and sell your book. Note: Extra customization beyond what I provide above is available at an additional fee. Ask for a quote.

Conditions

Does $195 seem too good to be true? Others charge far more for a website like this. But this is a website by an author for an author, so I know it is important to keep costs low. To do that, you are required to use the options I provide for

• Hosting
• Email marketing service
• Custom domain name purchase (if you do not have one).

You will have to pay monthly fees directly to providers for these anyway, but when you use my required services, I receive a one-time affiliate commission from those services at no extra cost to you. That makes it possible for me to cut your cost to $195 for the website, setup, and the support I provide. This is an outstanding offer by a seasoned professional in the USA.

Your Next Step

Contact me today with your name, email address, and the name of your book, and any questions you may have at VelocityWriting@gmail.com. I’ll respond within 24 hours or less with the location where you can make your payment and access the required affiliate links. I guarantee your site will be ready to use within 6 business days (M-F) from the time I receive payment and your affiliate purchases have been confirmed.

This is a limited offer. Start now BEFORE you publish your book. If it has already been published, your new website will help you boost sales by building your audience.

This is the generic look of the author’s website/blog I created for you. I customized the title, font, and color scheme and add limited text (noted above). YOU customize it over time by adding your blog posts and other features as your fan base grows.
