Do you actually need a website, or is social media enough? A website is the one piece of your author platform you actually own — and Tertulia co-founder Lynda Hammes joins The Writers Bridge to show you how to build one that actually works.
In this episode of The Writers Bridge, you’ll learn:
– What actually belongs on an author website (and what doesn’t)
– Why an email sign-up matters more than almost anything else on the page
– How a website helps new readers discover your books through search
– How to keep readers engaged between releases
– Whether to DIY, hire a custom build, or use an author-specific tool like Tertulia
