Frequently Asked Questions
Can authors sell books directly through Carrd?
You can embed buy buttons from Amazon, Gumroad, or Payhip, but most authors link to retailer pages (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, indie bookstores). Carrd works best as a book landing page with purchase links rather than a direct storefront. Include multiple purchase options to maximize conversions.
Should freelance writers include writing samples on their Carrd site?
Yes, but strategically. Link to 5-10 best published pieces rather than hosting full articles on Carrd. Use excerpt + "Read more" links to external publications. This shows range without overwhelming visitors. Many writer templates include elegant portfolio sections designed for this.
Can I build an email list through a Carrd author website?
Absolutely. Carrd Pro integrates with Substack, Mailchimp, ConvertKit, and other email platforms. Create a newsletter signup with a compelling hook ("Get exclusive short stories" or "Writing tips monthly"). Many author templates include newsletter sections. Building your list is crucial for book launches and reader engagement.
