Many times a author can't afford to spend large amounts of money having a webmaster create a high tech authors site. The hosting fees per month can run hundreds of dollars per year plus anywhere from $500.00 upward just to have a webmaster design and create a simple authors site.
Author blogs are becoming increasingly more popular. Many authors have the ability to create, design and launch a authors blog using various free templates that are available within the blogging community. It does require some knowledge, experience and history with blogs to create a successful authors blog as there are many important factors to take into consideration.
There are ways for authors to create a authors blog the frugal way. One is to just simply go for it and start designing. The other way is to find someone that will do the creating for you at a reasonable price for their webmaster services.
Regardless of which way you choose to go, you can get a great authors blog online and create a online presence where book lovers will find your authors blog frugally and save money getting the project done.

The Frugal Book Promoter
A title for many authors in their spare time is the frugal book promoter. Authors seeking ways to promote and market their books for free or pennies on the dollar. While free marketing is one way for a author to market and promote their books, a author must set aside a yearly marketing budget and find frugal ways to get the most for their dollars. Free marketing rarely proves to be successful.
A good starting point and budget for a year of marketing is between $500.00 and $1,000.00. If you want to sell books and find success, you must have a marketing budget and money set aside specifically for marketing. While running around to create book buzz at free sites is helpful, it's also time consuming and lacks greatly in true professional and targeted marketing.
Having no marketing plan and budget is like trying to sell something in the middle of the desert 100's of miles away from people. You can have the greatest book cover, story and book and if you don't market it, no one is going to buy it.
You can have your book listed on Amazon, Barnes, Book A Millions and if no one knows who you are as a author or the title of your book, who's going to find it among the millions of other books.
You must promote and market your book and you as the author.

Frugal Author Blogs & Book Marketing
Attention Authors!
Do you have a authors site or blog? Many times authors depend on their publisher to promote and market their books. Some publishers provide authors with a single page that shares the authors book on their site. Other times authors purchase the in print online bookstore data base where thousands to millions of other books are listed and found by the ISBN number. Sounds impressive, however, who is going to search for an author by his name, book title or the ISBN number? It rarely happens.
Having your own authors site or blog to showcase, promote and market your book is very important. Of course you can run around to sites where authors interact and share your book, but then again, so is every other author. I thought authors authored books.
I encourage you to create, design and build your own blog to showcase your book, the book description, an about the author page, reviews, contact information and other important information. A place where readers and book lovers can sit back and read about you as a author, your book, current projects and even upcoming projects.
Here are a few author sites /blogs that we have assisted authors in getting online. If you need some help, advice, information or just some encouragement. Contact us at kingdomexpansion1@gmail.com as we can help. Do it the frugal way and get the exposure you deserve.
