If you haven't already signed up to follow along, you can do so here: https://free.page/launch Authors PAY ME to build their websites for them. I build them on Kit.com, complete with custom domains. And I set up lead magnets for them (like sample chapters) so that they can collect email addresses and build an email list of potential readers and customers. Here is an example of a website built on Kit: https://riseofthereader.com​ The crazy thing is that these sites have NO MONTHLY FEES. They do 99% of the things that 99% of my author clients need using their FREE NEWSLETTER PLAN (up to 10,000 email subscribers). It's like a "best kept secret". But I'm not one to keep secrets. I've been building sites like this for my author clients and I just finished a new online course that shows you how to set it all up yourself. The course will be free and designed for people who just want to do it themselves. It's not hard, but it can seen confusing or overwhelming if it's your first time doing something like this. I've just made so many of them that I've gotten really good at it. But before I release this course publicly, I wanted to walk through it LIVE with a small group of people (authors ideally, but not required) to be sure that everything is covered and I didn't leave anything out. It's completely free to join along. Even if you already have a website, you'll definitely learn some new marketing strategies that you can use to grow your own email list. We'll cover the following topics: 1. Searching for and buying a GREAT domain 2. Building a simple (but effective) website 3. Creating an enticing digital lead magnet 4. Creating landing pages to collect emails 5. Marketing your new website We'll go through the course LIVE (I'll record it in case you can't make it). At the end, you'll have your own website, complete with your own custom domain, offering a lead magnet and collecting emails.
