Every Writer Should Have a Website

Once you have a blog, the next step is to have a website.  Ideally, the two should be combined.  WordPress.org allows you to do that.  One mistake often made is to have way to much information on your site.  Your website isn’t a magazine, people don’t read, they scan. Make sure your site isn’t so crammed with text that it’s not scannable. Ideally your home page should have no more than 200 to 250 words. Also, make sure you have a clear call to action. You want your visitors to do something on your site, yes? Make sure they know what that is, clearly and precisely.

  • Your advice is valuable and so timely for me! I’ve recently published a book on job search for midlife applicants: “Land the Job You Love! 10 Surefire Strategies for Jobseekers Over 50″ http://bit.ly/8xi4Oo. I do host a blog that’s done quite well but not, as yet, a website dedicated to the book. I’m taking your suggestion to heart because I’m certain you know whereof you speak. Thanks for not only being a fabulous writer, but a mentor to others as well!

    I’m happy to share. And as a fellow HR professional, you know I think your book is one of the most comprehensive guides I’ve ever seen. Good luck with it!
