We've all heard the advice, and there are many choices
to make when dealing with such things. If you aren't tech savvy like me, the
choices narrow. When the choice is also made out of necessity because your
current website provider is terrible, the choices are endless.
Looks like I'll be losing my current website hosted by
Yahoo's Aabacco small business because I can't get on their main site anymore.
Don't ask me why, but definitely a technical glitch on their part. So I'm
hunting for a new website provider.
I'll be honest and tell you that I hate this. I picked
yahoo years ago because it was easy to drag and drop in text and pictures.
Well, nothing is easy now.
How much does it matter that an author has a website
when there are blogs, Facebook, Twitter and Amazon author accounts to maintain?
I really can't say. The book industry has changed so much. It's a centralized
location of all an author's books, but so is Amazon nowadays.
Do readers regularly go to author website or do they
browse their other more exciting social media accounts? I pick up paperback
books at the store, but I can't say I've ever visited the website of those same
authors when there is other social media.
Well, just a head's up while I decided on a path
forward. My www.authormaryc.com
website will go dark on July 1st 2017. Keep up to date with me on Twitter, or my Amazon author page.
I'll let you know if July whether I'm going to get a
new website with another company or wing it and just have my social media
accounts.
