An author page is a must have. With an author page, otherwise known as a Website, authors present themselves in the best light. In addition, this (online) platform is a place where authors promote and sell their books. A Book Business, on the other hand, might not be an ambition for most authors.

A year ago, I started a Book Business and named it BLACKWOOD: Self-publishing Made Easy. The website: https://blackwoodself-publishingmadeeasy.com/ explains the company’s purpose. I simultaneously launched an author website called The Progressive Authorpreneur: Olive Rose Steele. As an authorpreneur, I keep my website current, attend to promotion, marketing, sales and every thing in-between. Writing, self-publishing and maintaining an author website is necessary. The ambition to start a Book Business is mammoth and worthwhile.
