Foreword
I recently built a website on my own and I did it within a day. Admittedly, I have no experience in building a website barring a two day crash course in HTML I took over ten years ago which is all fuzzy memory now. I built my own website so I could sell my e-books from there as the big retailers I submitted my e-books to, such as Amazon and Apple, were not selling in Asia.
Every time someone I knew wanted to buy one of my books, they got the annoying ‘Not sold in your territory’ message. And after a few attempts they invariably gave up. I wouldn’t blame them, people have their lives and buying my books is not a priority. I had to make it easier for them to buy, as I didn’t want to miss out on a fairly large audience, a continent full of audience as a matter of fact.
You need a website, a dot com website.
That was the first lesson. I had just finished writing my stories and published them at Amazon, Apple and other retailers, and I was wondering what else I could do besides telling everybody I knew and sharing my links on my Facebook page. I had three books and many retailers, and many links, so it could have been a bit confusing for the people wanting to buy.
I figured I needed a single portal which could direct people to all these retailers so I set about researching which was the best way to get the process going. All the findings led me to one conclusion: if you are serious about selling your goods, whether it’s an e-book or mp3 recordings, or whatever it maybe, you need a website. Something like yourdomain.com, I gathered, was the most effective way to get into search engines and make your presence felt in the vast world of the Internet...
