One of the first things I learned when I handed a copy of my book to a publisher is that you HAVE to own the domain name of your Book Title.  Rick Frishman, http://www.rickfrishman.com/ explain that a domain name has to match your book title to be recognized by a publisher as a legitimate book.  Rick said that if you could not get the .com then CHANGE the title of the book – it is that important.  Since then I have learned a few things about how important consistency in your brand is.

As a web designer I start with the following list when I agree to help a client create a website for any product.  This is very important for SEO (search engine optimization).  I let them know that they have to set up the following:

1. domain name – using the name of your book or as a speaker your name (kimburney.com)
2. gmail – using the same name as your domain name (example: kimburney@gmail.com)
3. youtube – using your domain name
4. facebook – using your domain name
5. twitter – using your domain name

There are more places you can add social media accounts, but this is the minimum that you should do.
