Blogging Website Plus Kartra Integration Special Offer for Authors, Speakers, Course Creators, Family Stories, and Entrepreneurs

A blogging WordPress website is one of the best ways to share your messages and offers, as well as dominate searches and attract clients.

The Kartra All-In-One business platform can also provide full websites, sales funnels, multimedia membership portals, email services, surveys, calendars, and more.

I have many clients for each and often leverage the two platforms to create hybrid solutions.

My Special Offer is to create that hybrid solution for you for a ridiculously affordable package.

I register a domain and create the blogging site for you. Then I can integrate Kartra features into the website as appropriate for your goals.

Often, a domain simply based on your name is the most flexible choice.

This is appropriate for Authors, Speakers, Course Creators, and Entrepreneurs.

For Authors

Here is how an author can use the hybrid website.

  • Provide a destination for people to learn about the author, books, courses, apearances, and anything else to promote the author.
  • Create regular blog posts based on excerpts and topics from the books. The call to action is to purchase a book or course.
  • Combine Social Media and YouTube posts with reciprocal links to blog posts to create a dominating online presence with great search visibility.
    I regularly use StreamYard Studio to do this.
  • Integrate Kartra features such as newsletter signups, sales carts, videos, and more.
  • You can also simply publish your book content as a series of blogs.

Recommended Marketing Practice

  • Create SEO optimized blog post.
  • Submit to Google Search Console.
  • Publish streams or articles to many platforms with reciprocal links.
  • Consider boosting posts.

For Speakers

Most Professional Speakers will want everything recommended for authors, plus information about their talks and forms to request a speaking appearance.

For Course Creators

I was first attracted to Kartra for supporting online courses and membership programs.

If you are an author or speaker with content that could be sold as an online course or membership program, I will encourage and help you launch that.

All can be integrated into the hybrid website I am offering.

For Family Stories

A blogging website can be a great way to collaborate with family members to share stories, biographies, photos, videos, and audio.

Consider Creating a Website as a Publishing Destination for Your Book

Emphasizing the Unlimited part of Shared Visions Unlimited Publishing, I encourage and help you to publish your book in multiple formats on multiple platforms, including:

  • Printed Book and eBook through Amazon and IngramSpark
    Put your book out far and wide forever and possibly make some money.
  • FlipBook
    Easy distribution and support for multimedia elements. Help people, build authority, and increase influence.
  • Digital Experience Edition
    Secure multimedia portal for your book content and support material. Great potential for direct sales.
  • Audiobook
    A market for those who prefer to listen.
  • Video Versions
    Illustrated readings, training, …

Today, I suggest adding a blogging website to the mix and possibly starting by writing and publishing your book on a blogging website.

Why You Would Consider Publishing Your Book As A Website

This is for you if your reasons to write and publish a book are along these lines:

  • You have joy in the creating and writing process itself.
  • You have insights or stories you want to share with the world.
  • You want to increase your authority and influence.
  • You may want to use a book as a lead magnet for your products and services.
  • You want to engage your readers with your content and get feedback to improve the print book.
  • You collaborate with an editor or writing coach.

This is not for you if you are a perfectionist who
wants everything perfect before sharing.

I build high-performing and search-engine-optimized WordPress sites for marketing and various other purposes. Here is why this approach can work for your book and why I am going to use this approach for my own books:

  • WordPress provides a great platform for writing and collaborating on posts and articles.
  • Attention to Search Engine Optimization and submitting to Google Search Console can boost your search presence.
  • The pages can have rich multimedia content and links to related resources.
  • WordPress provides a good search function for the site itself. This is fabulously useful.
  • The Google Translate plugin can translate the site instantly. I still think this is amazing! Check out the language selector at the bottom-right of this window.
  • You can invite feedback and comments for your content as you go.
  • Sharing to social media platforms is easy.
  • Linking back from social media platforms and YouTube is easy.

Writing Live and Testing Content

I have a few books in mindThe First Book of Lazy, All My Relations, Adventures in Moving, and The Golden Publishing Sales Machine.

I will create a website and start writing at least one of those books live soon.

Here is the plan:

  1. Register a domain name with the working book title.
  2. Create a website with key plugins, including Yoast SEO, Google Site Kit, and Ultimate Blocks.
  3. Create a home page with a book description and a working outline of topics.
  4. Write the first chapter.
  5. Submit the site to Google Search Console for indexing.
  6. Write a chapter regularly. I will aim for at least three a week.
  7. Post a link to each chapter on social media.
  8. Consider doing a broadcast for each chapter.

I use Grammarly to keep my writing somewhat under control!

If I get readers and interest, I will combine and publish in some or all formats such as a print book, eBook, flipbook, audiobook, and Digital Experience Edition.

At the very least, I will have fun writing and publishing the chapters:-)
