Gina Akao: My Author Hub

Hi everyone,

Check out the link to my Toastmasters speech about My Author Hub!

Here are a few key points from my speech:

  1. If you have a passion, talent, business, or book to promote, a blog is an affordable and easy way to get the word out to your audience.
  2. You can create a blog in a few hours for free on Google Blogger or www.WordPress.com.
  3. If you would like to create a personal brand, you can buy a domain name for your blog. Domains cost anywhere from about $10 on www.GoDaddy.com or you can buy one directly on WordPress.com for $18 per year. The domain is integrated with your WordPress site, and goes live within as little as a few hours.
  4. Link your blog to social media. This connects you with friends who can help you share your ideas and connect you to future clients.
  5. Encourage people to subscribe to your blog by offering a free gift.
  6. If you're not tech savvy, you can enlist the help of a virtual assistant to set up your blog for you. If you would like me to help you, please contact me here.
