Creating the Speaking Tab for an Authorâs Website From:
When I work with my Book Shepherd clients, websites are always part of our process. Speaking is the #1 to sell books ⦠truckloads of them. When looking at an authorâs existing website, or planning one from scratch, I ask:
What is missingâwhat should be added to enhance the speaking journey? And what does the author need to do to update to what is currently on it?
What your website needs â¦
Within your website, you should have a dedicated TAB for Speaking and/or Consulting that rests along with your dashboard with the About, Services, Book/Store, Media, Blog, Contact, etc.
