As the former CEO of a major technology company for over twenty-five years, Brumbarger understands effective web design and online content creation. First, keep your website simple and limit the amount of copy throughout, he says. Too much text will turn readers away. Second, integrate video where you can. The videos can include you talking about your book, interviews that you&#39;ve done, interviews with other authors, book trailers, and more. Last, provide your back-story in your author biography. Readers will want to know the driving force behind your work. Once you have a simple, but impactful website, Brumbarger recommends expanding your presence to online platforms such as YouTube to continue maximizing your reach.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-64/Key-Elements-to-Include-on-an-Author-Website-to-Maximize-Effectiveness.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../Key-Elements-to-Include-on-an-Author-Website-to-Maximize-Effectiveness.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: Nonfiction, Subscriber, video</div>
