The Most Important Part of Your Website — The Link to Buy Your Book

The prime purpose of a book website is to sell your book! So why not make it easy for your readers? Include a prominent link to where your book is available to buy. In many cases this will be an Amazon Buy Button.

Your Buy Button

You don’t want your Buy Button hidden on some interior page. You do not want people to search for it!You want visitors to arrive at the site and see it right there.

So place it prominently on the front page. After all, you do want to sell your book, don’t you?

If your book is available on Amazon, put an Amazon buy button on your website. If it’s online elsewhere, say via Lulu, use that button.

Why Not Just Use a Text Link?

But why not just post the Amazon text link and not a button?

Firstly because buttons are much more compelling. Everyone knows what they’re there for. We all know what they do. They are instantly recognisable in the way that text links just aren’t.
