Author Website Masterclass: Create a High-Converting Reader Hub That Sells More Books

Own, create, and optimize your author platform with a professional website that converts visitors into loyal readers, newsletter subscribers, and direct book buyers—without technical overwhelm.

Stop sending potential readers to Amazon where they'll get distracted by other authors' books. In this comprehensive workshop, New York Times bestselling editor Angela James reveals how to create an author website that serves as your powerful marketing hub, audience-building tool, and direct sales channel.

Why your author website is your most valuable marketing asset:

• Complete ownership of your platform - unlike social media that can change algorithms or disappear overnight
• Direct connection to readers - without a retailer or platform standing between you
• Higher revenue from direct sales - earn more per book sold through your site
• Professional credibility - essential for media opportunities, speaking engagements, and industry partnerships
• 24/7 passive marketing - your website works while you sleep, capturing readers worldwide

Most author websites fail because they're built without understanding what readers actually want and need. This workshop solves that problem by focusing specifically on reader psychology and conversion principles for authors.

In this comprehensive website masterclass, you'll learn:

• Reader-focused design principles that keep visitors engaged instead of bouncing
• Essential website elements every author site needs (and what to avoid)
• Newsletter integration strategies that convert casual visitors into subscribers
• Direct book sales setup that maximizes your revenue without complex e-commerce
• Author brand showcasing that creates a cohesive, professional impression
• Mobile optimization for the visitors using phones to discover you
• Content planning actions to keep readers coming back without overwhelming you

Unlike generic website courses, Angela James' Author Websites workshop addresses the unique needs of authors at every career stage—from debut authors establishing their first web presence to established authors upgrading their reader experience.

What authors are saying about this webinar: "[O]ne of the biggest surprises for me was, as an author in a serious slump, doing a non-writing writer thing like confronting my website woes actually reminded me that, oh, hey! I am actually a published writer! I should keep doing this! It's been really easy to forget during the low times. That reminder is a pretty special gift" — Renee D., Romance Author

Whether you're creating your first author website or revamping an existing one that isn't performing, this masterclass provides the exact blueprint you need to build an effective author hub that serves both you and your readers.
