What are Author blogs
Author blogs are online diaries of authors. They are authors’ ‘online office’ or platform where they write consistently, articles and updates that are useful to their intended audience.
What is the benefit of author blogs
There are lots of benefits to author blogs. I will show just one of them in this post. It’s a very valuable one that will appeal to you.
Blogs help you sell more books
Read our experience below:
We decided to start selling our ebooks on other platforms apart from Amazon. We chose Payhip and Gumroad.
But we observed that the ebooks were selling on their own the way we have them on Amazon. We knew this was because these two platforms don’t command the types of huge ready-made buyers of ebooks like Amazon.
What we did
For Payhip and gumroad, we started putting the links to our ebooks directly on some of our top-performing blog pages at https://sesanoguntade.com
and https://kdpcollege.com
This is the reason why it’s great if authors have their blogs and invest in making the blogs rank higher on Google. We just affected these changes so we have not seen any appreciable results but we know the results will come.
