Build a Professional Author Website Easily | Tertulia for Authors
About this video
Note: this summary is based on the Arabic-language caption track, summarized faithfully in English. Dale Roberts hosts the co-founder and author-relations lead of Tertulia for Authors, who build him a live demonstration website. They present Tertulia as an author-first platform offering three things: an easy professional author website with no coding, plugins or manual copying of book data — starting from a single ISBN (an Instagram handle is optional) imports books and covers automatically; direct sales of e-books, audiobooks and print copies (including signed or special editions) with no Tertulia commission, leaving only the payment processor’s transaction fee; and built-in audience tools including email automation and collection, a blog, an events calendar and unlimited custom pages. The walkthrough customizes Dale’s site — logo, favicon, colors, fonts and a banner presenting his positioning — adds his author profile and book library, and stresses that authors should start early and own their audience relationship and data instead of relying only on Amazon or social media, and should be able to update the site themselves without paying a developer again.
Key takeaways
- Start an author website early and own your reader data instead of relying only on Amazon or social media
- An ISBN-based import can populate a site with book data and covers automatically, with no coding required
- Direct sales through Tertulia carry no platform commission per the presenters, only the payment fee
- Email sells books, so built-in email collection and automation are presented as core site functions
- Choose a tool you can update yourself to avoid repeated developer fees for routine changes
