Websites of Writers to Promote Their Books Not Worth the Time and Cost Says Florida Author

SARASOTA, Fla. - July 14, 2015 - PRLog -- Most authors, whether published or not, are under the impression that once their book or E-Book is published, readers will rush to read it. Nothing could be further from the truth unless you are a well know celebrity, politician, or criminal widely discussed by the media.

Many traditional writers, agents, and publishers want you to believe that once your book is in print or digital form, you should design a website and readers will come to look, sample, and buy your book.

There are many web design firms and experts who are eager to develop and maintain the most fancy website for anyone who is willing to pay the price. The problem is that once you have an authors website no one knows about it. You now must tell potential readers where it is, how to get there, and why they should go there.

In fact it is a waste of time and money. If you are published in print or as an E-Book, full details of your book already exist on Amazon Kindle websites. Most important is the fact that only people who are looking to buy a book visit these websites. They come from all over the world and there are millions of them every day.

The Amazon website of your book shows its cover in full color, provides a complete description of its contents, includes any reviews left by previous readers, shows the price of your book in print and digital form, and offers immediate links to buy it. You can also add an author biography in book description and readers can obtain free samples of about 10% of the book.

E-Book versions of your book can be delivered to a mobile device of your choice almost immediately. What's more, Amazon provides advertising and promotion programs for your book, many free of charge, to further bring it to the attention of any reader group that you might discover among your Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin or Pinterest followers and other social media contacts.
