The Platform To Host Your Author Page
The space where you showcase yourself as an author needs to be as unique as you are.
There’s no reason why you should be hiding behind platforms that don’t support your creative efforts as a writer, limiting you from presenting your vision the way that you imagine it.
That’s why StudioLink is Third Wheel Publishing’s preferred partner for authors who want to stand out from their competition.
An author page is about you just as much as it’s about the work you create. Having a place where your ingenious concepts can be born and evolve as you connect with readers around the world.
Here are some exciting ways for you to create an author page that sells your imagination:
Flash Fiction Showcase
An article is not just a blog post on StudioLink. It’s a chance for you to highlight shorter works like flash fiction or poetry that create a lens of who you are as a writer.
When you direct readers to your StudioLink from your social media, you can drive them to read your longer work by giving them a preview of your shorter work using StudioLink’s article feature.
It goes hand-in-hand with the article button feature that will keep people reading more of your work that’s like the one they’ve just finished. Think of it as being a writer’s version of YouTube’s “up next” feature.
The best part is – you can embed your stories in different formats (audio, visual, etc) within your article to connect with as many readers as possible. This is as easy as including audio of or video of you reading your story.
Directly Sell Your Book
Using your StudioLink as your home base, you can sell your book directly to readers at the tap of a button.
When marketing your book, it’s hard to get readers from hearing about your book to actually purchasing it. The process is complicated further by social media algorithms that have a tendency to keep new authors from being discovered.
While social media may be a great tool for visibility, it can be rough when you’re trying to convert people to purchase your book.
Sales is a tedious and difficult process, especially for authors but the clear and direct links from StudioLink make it as easy as ordering a cup of coffee.
Your StudioLink is a portfolio of your best work. Through modules and call-to-action buttons, you can lead your audience directly to buy your book.
Attract Agents and Publishers
Having an author page makes it easier for agents and publishers who are looking for new talent to find you.
Having a platform where you can market new worlds and ideas to both readers and publishers is an invaluable resource for an author. It will fast-track your goals as a writer and make your networking efforts more fruitful.
With StudioLink, you can create individual modules that speak to a specific audience and drive them to the next steps of the process, whether that be working with you or reading your work.
Agents and publishers will appreciate that they can get to know you, your style, and why you would be a good fit, being all in one place.
You can monitor your success using simple analytics that allows you to keep track of views and button clicks on each of your modules and articles.
Create a Newsletter
The progress of your book is news. New poetry is news. New social media posts are news.
Creating your newsletter on StudioLink is a great way to keep readers interested in your work in progress and get them to purchase your published works.
It’s as easy as creating an article once a week on StudioLink to send to your followers.
The gallery allows you to add a slideshow of up to 10 images at the end of your article, making it easy to communicate with your readers.
The process pairs nicely with one of the new features on Instagram where you can create a broadcast channel to share information and links with your audience. There, you can send them to new articles you post.
Sell Your Merch
If there’s one thing readers love it’s MERCH!
The internet and social media have created a storm of readers wanting and showing off their merch from the books that they love.
You can make it simple for them to buy yours too.
By creating modules for top products, you can make money from more than just your book.
That’s the beauty of StudioLink: it was designed to make your work and products shine.
StudioLink is a powerful tool that can take you from being a struggling writer to a published author which is why Third Wheel Publishing values them as a preferred partner.
The possibilities of what you can do on StudioLink are endless, allowing the platform to grow alongside you and your audience.
