How to Build an Email List from Your Author Website with HostingAuthors

Build email list from author website with HostingAuthors — a simple SaaS platform where self-published and indie authors create book landing sites that turn readers into subscribers.

Use free templates, built-in mailing lists, and optional custom domains ($9–$29/mo tiers) to collect emails, deliver lead magnets, publish blog posts, and sell books from a single author hub. Authors who nurture subscribers often see 2–3x higher launch sales and better repeat-buying rates.

“I doubled my launch signups in six weeks after switching to HostingAuthors — the signup forms and automated welcome sequence made it effortless.” — Maya R., author of The Quiet Orchard
