Create A Book Sales Web Page To Sell Your Book
EXTENDED BOOK CHAPTER #10 from MY SELF-PUBLISHING MANUAL by Bart Smith
INTRODUCTION & WHAT TO DO
Create an "interview me" web page for each book you wrote that's dedicated to helping you get interviewed.
On this page you'll have questions to ask you, sample introductory and author bio scripts to read about you, how to book you for the interview and how about sample video footage of you getting interviewed even if you have to create a mock interview video at first!
You can get a ton of ideas on how to build your own “interview me” web page by looking at my interview me web pages for all of my books. Go to:
BartSmith.com/interviews
Once you’re on that page, click on any book cover and you’ll be taken to what I call an “interview me” web page. Once you see what’s on these pages, and how I’ve designed them, go ahead and borrow any design idea you like so you can build a similar one on your website.
MAIN SECTIONS ON THESE PAGES
Basically, these are the sections below, which you can actually copy what I've got on my interview pages and have AI (i.e., ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) help write for the sections that pertain to you and your book.
1. Page Main Title (Optional)
2. Book Title, subtitle and author's name.
3. Short Introduction
4. Interview Introduction
5. Author's Bio + Intro Statements
6. 10-25 Interview Suggested Questions
7. Closing Statement
8. Request An Interview
9. Print This Page
10. Book Description
11. Sample Interviews
12. Images & Artwork
HOW TO GET THE CONTENT
WRITTEN FOR THIS WEB PAGE
Give ChatGPT the URL of one of my interview me pages. Then, tell it you want a DOCX downloadable file generated based on what it sees on my web page and the content from your book. For example, upload your entire book (via PDF or DOCX) to ChatGPT and it will generate the content for the sections #1-5 above.
Once you place all this information on your interview me page, it'll be easy to help shows interview by just sending them to this one web page! All the information they need to book you is on this web page. That's why I like having them.
