September 23rd Tech Tool Box
Author Central Account: Getting an Author Page for Your Books on Amazon

 

*Please Note:

You need to have at least one of your books available for sale on Amazon in order to set up your Author Central account.

Having an Author Page (set up through your FREE Author Central account) on Amazon is a valuable and handy method for authors not only to have customers learn about you, but increase your online presence.

Search engines look for recent activity on web pages and sites; authors can add their blog feed and Twitter account to their Amazon Author Page, which helps increase the likelihood of an author “moving up” in the search rankings.

An Author Page allows authors to include the following details about themselves and their books:

  • Author Bio
  • Reviews
  • Product (Book) Description
  • From the Author
  • From the Inside Flap
  • From the Back Cover

Authors may also add Book Extras such as glossary, characters, quotations, etc. when you add them to Shelfari.com (a community encyclopedia for book lovers).

How cool is this! – authors may add up to 8 images, 8 videos and events to their Author Page.

One of the main “hidden” treasures in an Author Central account: you have the option to receive support by email or phone.

Yes – you can select to receive a call from an Amazon Author Central staff member within ONE MINUTE! (There are live people to talk to at Amazon) 
