Amazon Author Central

If you want to be found on the Internet by different search engines like Google or Bing, then you need to have an Amazon Author’s Page, and you can find that at Amazon Author Central. Amazon is the largest seller of books in the world, so it’s to your advantage to have your own Author’s Page so that readers can learn more about you, even reading a short bio about you. They can also see a listing of books that you’ve published, both EBooks and in paperback, and you can even list your own blog there. When people are searching for subjects or authors, the Amazon Author’s Page is vital because it often shows up in the search engines, and so that’s all the more reason that if you are Christian author, you need to go to Amazon Author Central and set up your own page. Most of the major authors have their own page on Amazon, so it’s to your advantage to have one too. Being listed on Amazon may be the best tool for authors to gain exposure and to promote their books. This only happens if you have an Amazon Author Central page. Did I mention that it’s free?
