As an author, the owner of my own
author website and an avid book
reader, I frequently read articles that
provide tips for authors or
webmasters and are sent to me by
email. I also try to keep up with
the latest exciting book events. As I
get a lot out of this, I think it’s only
fair for me to pay it forward to you.
By coming back here often, you can
become a more successful author or a
more enriched reader through
getting the latest scoop for authors
and book lovers. Below is
information you will likely find
interesting.
New tips for authors
• The importance of enhancing your
image SEO is something big I just
learned about through AIOSEO, the
team who runs the WordPress
AIOSEO plugin, a plugin that helps
you enhance your search engine
optimization efforts for your Word
Press website. Having read their
article titled “Image SEO: How to
Best Optimize Images In WordPress”,
I have taken advantage of their user
tools to create a relevant image that
should encourage Google to send
more targeted traffic my way – I chose
an image featuring a lady holding a
stack of self-enrichment books to
reflect my website theme of you the
reader coming to be enriched through
my self-help and fiction works.
• On another note, I have recently
learned that a low rate of return visitors
is bad, especially because return visitors
are up to 75 % more likely to make a
purchase than first-time visitors – strive
for 30 to 50 percent of your traffic to
come from return visitors. Imagine how
many more books you can sell once you
pull this off.
• How you use social media is more
important than just being a passive
participant in it; engagement is key.
After making posts, check back on them
soon. Respond to others’ questions if you
know a solution for them. Consider
posing a question relevant to the topic
while answering a question from a
fellow member.
• The way you begin a book, notably a
fiction book, can make all the difference
between a sale or no sale. Besides
starting Chapter One with action, try to
begin your first paragraph with an
unusual event or statement that gets
your readers’ attention, immediately
intrigues them to what’s going to
happen next and sparks them to
continue reading your book rather
than moving onto the next one. To
