Keep Readers Returning with Interesting, Fresh Content

It often takes several exposures to your book before a visitor becomes a customer. For this reason, you’ve got to give people a good reason to return to your site again and again. One of the most effective ways to accomplish this is have continuously fresh and interesting content that potential customers will want or need.

RSS Feeds

An effortless way to get fresh and current content is with an RSS feed. For example, if you’ve authored a dessert cookbook, you might want to add an RSS feed that presents a new complimentary recipe, such as a dinner recipe, every day. This will encourage viewers to return to your site to find new recipes while your dessert book makes an impression each and every time they visit. By simply pasting a piece of code into the content editor, you’ll have a continuous stream of new content without ever editing the page again.

Events

Having a page dedicated to events that relate to your book’s topic is a fantastic way to attract a readership of those searching specifically for these events. For example, if you’ve written a science fiction book, you may want to list all of the science fictions conventions around the world. Most of the people who find your site through your events page are the prime demographic for purchasing your book so be sure to have an image and a summary of your book in one of the page columns. For ease of maintaining your events page, Easy Website Builder offers a field for the event’s expiration date. Once the date has past, the event will automatically be deleted to keep your site absolutely current.

Self Published Articles

One of the most effective forms of fresh content are articles and short stories of interest to your target audience. If you offer quality solutions or enjoyable reads continuously, visitors are more likely to buy your book. Not only does your book get exposure when visitors return to your site, but you become a trusted source of topical material.

Reprint Articles

There are a few great sources for articles that are free for you to reprint. Adding some free articles in with your own articles can help you to keep your site loaded with fresh and interesting content.

Book/Article/Movie Reviews

Don’t be afraid to talk about other publications that relate to your topic – especially if they are not your direct competition. The more you can get your reader immersed in your topic, the more likely you will get your visitors into a buying mood

Organizing your Articles and Reviews

To ensure that your visitors will find topics that interest them on your page, give a summary list of your articles and reviews with a link to the full story. To do this with Easy Website Builder, simply write your full pages then write a brief summary on your homepage. To add the link to the full story, highlight your summary title, click the hyperlink icon, and paste the URL of the full story into the hyperlink builder.
