For Indie Authors
Author Websites for Indie Authors
Own your platform. Build your list. Stop giving Amazon all your readers.
As an indie author, you already know the value of doing things yourself. You write, edit, design covers, and market your own books. But your website shouldn't be another full-time job. It should just work.
Folio is built for indie authors who want a professional website without the WordPress headache. Import your books, set up direct sales, capture reader emails, and launch on your own domain. No plugins, no themes, no hosting bills.
How indie authors use Folio
Build your email list
Capture reader emails with built-in signup forms. Offer a free chapter or bonus content in exchange for an email. Own your audience instead of renting it from Amazon's algorithm.
Sell direct and keep more
Amazon takes 30-65% of your ebook revenue. Folio's direct sales let you keep 85%. Set your own prices, run promotions, and build a direct reader relationship.
Professional presence on a budget
Starting at $7/month, Folio gives you everything a traditional author website needs. Custom domain, book catalog, responsive design — without the $2,000 web designer invoice.
Why Folio
Common questions
How is this different from an Amazon author page?
Your Amazon author page lives on Amazon's platform. They control the design, the algorithm, and the reader relationship. Folio gives you a website you own, with your domain, your design, and direct access to your readers.
Can I import my books from Amazon?
You can add books by ISBN and Folio will pull metadata and cover images. You can also add books manually with full control over descriptions and pricing.
Is $7/month enough for a full author website?
Yes. The Basic plan includes your book catalog, custom domain, responsive design, and an about page. The Pro plan adds blog, analytics, and email capture. The Store plan adds direct sales.
