Thrifty Authors

Web fiction is written works of literature available primarily or solely on the Internet. A common type of web fiction is the web serial. These are stories uploaded on a chapter by chapter basis by the author, usually on a weekly basis. If you have read any fiction books(usually romance, fantasy or one) through apps, chances are you have come across a webnovel before. These apps provide some chapters of the book free(usually the first five) and the rest you will only get access to after you have paid to open it with virtual coins. Did you know that you can become a webnovel author? Pick an app of your choice and sign up to become an author on the app. You can upload your work while it's ongoing or if it's already completed. Wondering how you'll get paid? Earlier I mentioned how you need virtual coins to read a book on the app. In order to obtain these coins, you need to use real money to purchase it. Most apps pay their author 50% of revenue generated from people who read y

There are many ways to make money from your writing skills besides publishing a book. One of such ways is creating a blog of your own. In this post, I will walk you through the steps of how to own a blog of your own and make income from it. But first,                               WHAT IS A BLOG? ?  A blog i s a website or part of a site that contains regularly-updated content about one or multiple topics. The term is short for “web log,” which means to log information on a website.  The content on a blog usually comes in the form of articles on individual web pages called blog posts. The article you’re reading is one such example. A blogger is the individual who writes up these contents and manages the blog. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BLOG AND A WEBSITE? A blog works to present new content periodically, while a regular site provides static information about a person, a group, or a subject. i.e a blog is updated at regular intervals(twice a month, once a week etc) while a website

If you are an author, having your website is a Must Have . Your website is your own domain. It's where you put up all information you want the world to know about you and your writing. Having a website is so much more than just putting up your books and contact information. Your website is your professional image. Everything that there is to know about you as an author should be found here. You can include anything that you want. For example; everything that inspires you to write. Your family life. Your vacations. Your pet(s).....anything you want your readers to know about you. When a reader or a publisher googles your name, your website is the first thing that should pop up. It is where all information about you should be found.  Did you know? You don't have to be an expert to create your own website. Most website builders come with drag and drop features to help you create an amazing website that is also professional. However, website hosting costs money. You have to pay for

Becoming a published author can be hard and sometimes, daunting work. You have to proofread,edit and even convert your book into acceptable formats before you can publish it. You'd think your job would be done when you've finished writing the book? If you're signed to a publishing house, the answer is usually yes. If you happen to be an indie author(that's author speak for self published author) then your work has only just begun. You may have written the best book, have the most amazing cover and even a superb blurb. All that means nothing if there's no one to read it. That's where promotion sites come in. They put your book in front of hungry, voracious readers on the hunt for the next great read. There's a caveat though. These sites charge to promote your book.
