Wow – so much fabulous information! I need to get my a** in gear over this next month. What I have isn’t working – for a huge variety of reasons – I’ve moved a lot into nonfiction, I’m questioning my novel, and so on. I’d love to chat!
ReplyTyler,
With it being Sunday, I think most people are still at church. Your post is as comprehensive as they come, very informative. I did not know by “Keeping your site updated will also help your chances of ranking higher on major search engines, which use frequency of updates as one of the criteria for boosting ranking.” That’s beneficial information to all those with websites and blogs.
Rachel has gone above and beyond in providing some of the very best guest posts for #NaNoProMo 2019.
Sincerely,

I would so love to have that book! I’m still learning everything I can about self-publishing. 🙂 Websites are also an area I’m learning about…slowly lol.
ReplyWow. All things I didn’t think about when it came to websites. Thank you!! I will have to give my “in house tech support” (aka my husband) this info. Je would better know how to put this into motion.
ReplyWow. You have me thinking about things I’ve never considered before. I’ve been pretty pleased with my website design, wanting a clean, easy-to-read site that’s also easy to navigate. I like blogging, so my site isn’t static–it’s updated regularly and I have over a thousand subscribers. But your post here makes me realize there are a lot of things I haven’t thought about, and I really need to do an overhaul. Thanks for sharing your insight!
ReplyI can spend many happy hours tinkering with my own website, and it’s surprising how quickly information can get out of date… “coming soon” becomes “now available” and “upcoming talk” becomes “catch the replay here”, for example. Thanks for the reminder to test widely, too. It’s scary how different things can look on different devices & browsers.
ReplyThis is a well-written and user friendly article about a tricky subject. Web design can be so daunting to authors because it combines two areas where many have issues (IT and marketing). Okay, maybe it’s just me. Anyway, I appreciated all the checklists and references included. This is a complex subject, but also an important one. Thanks so much for helping to make it easier.

I love this idea Rachel. Folks ask how I promote my 100 plus eBooks. Thru my blog. Sure I Tweet Amazon Associate links too but listing thru my blog and building my tribe boosts my sales.
ReplyFab info and certainly some tips I can take on board. I was glad to read some of this and feel I already had some of this in mind. Jen
ReplyI’m certainly reconsidering all aspects of my website now. While I like to think it is in decent shape, I will take a closer look and try to put myself more in the reader’s shoes.
As always, even though I’ve been doing it a while now, I know I don’t know everything about self-publishing. There is always more to learn, so I would love to see what I can be taught. In addition, a little extra advertising never hurts. This package is a great giveaway.
Thanks, Rachel, for always providing great content and professionalism. #NaNoProMo is one of my favorite events of the year!
ReplySomething is amiss with my website. Enjoyed reading this article, would love to have the resources. Plus an ad! Goes without saying
