I own a company called BookPrint where I work closely with authors and independent publishers everyday. It is exhilarating helping authors see their dreams manifest as a physical book – but, depressing watching them struggle to sell their books online. Often they’ve built a website on a free platform that is ugly and doesn’t communicate the quality of their books, let alone result in google rankings, sales or media exposure.

Free sites are ugly, and beautiful e-commerce sites are expensive.

The ugly and expensive problem is solved by purchasing a $1,790 website from us. It is built and hosted in our online ecosystem. This means we can create and launch your website fast. Right now we are scheduling websites for launch in January and February – so buy yours today to get at the front of the list. A full e-commerce website for $1,790 don’t these normally cost $3,500 or more. Yes. Our websites are built on a template that we created for authors, this means it includes everything you need. Contact Page, Media Kit Page, Blog, e-commerce with checkouts and a homepage. It is a full WordPress website, using woo-commerce for the store, and Stripe for payment processing. This is a best in class solution. It is how Timmy (founder of BookPrint and AuthorSites) wanted to build his websites, in fact, this website is built exactly the same way.

If you already have a website, don’t worry you can still join the club. We have a $790 online e-commerce portal we can plug into your site.

You don’t want to waste your time, packing and posting books.

Well, whaddya know… the painful posting problem is also solved by paying us money 😉 To enrol in our ‘handsfree’ programme and host your website there is a monthly cost of $40. Hmm, what do I get for $40 a month? Everything. Well, not everything. But everything, you need to sell books. We will store 2 cartons of your books (or more if you are selling more than that per month). Whenever you get an order we will process the order, process the payment, pack your book, label it, courier it, and deposit your money directly into your bank account – keeping the credit card processing fee, pick/pack fee and courier cost. So at the end of the month, you have nothing to do. Automatically you’ve got your money and we’ve got ours. So we can all go to the beach on the weekend rather than doing paperwork.

AuthorSites solves both those problems for some people. It is built at a service level to cater to authors who are selling or aiming to sell 10 or more books per month.

If you don’t want to order online, we can chat and sort it out offline :). Send me a message right now and let us get your domain name purchased as a starting point:
