The Scoop on the SpokeHub App + Details On My #FierceFemalesHub Event (August 14)
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of SpokeHub. The opinions and text are all mine.
I was asked by Carusele to participate in the #FierceFemalesHub campaign, sponsored by SpokeHub. Although I have been compensated, all opinions are my own.
Have you ever read an amazing article or watched a crazy video and wanted to start a conversation voicing your thoughts where others could see them and reply? Now, with SpokeHub you can do just that! SpokeHub is the new trendy social media app that allows you to start conversations about the things that interest you. Through this free app, you can stay updated on news, and see entertaining content tailored to the things you care about and want to chat with others about. Here you can voice your questions, comments, and thoughts on a topic and have others, with similar interests, converse back allowing you to control your narrative! This new platform offers genuine conversations, in real time, around topics that matter to you! Listen, laugh, talk, cheer, debate, explain, and grow with SpokeHub.
How it Works
When you first download the app, you create a profile. You then are given a list of topics and categories to choose from that best interest you, to help get you started and find the hubs that fit you best. I chose current events, travel, arts & entertainment, inspirational, health & wellness, fashion, and sports! After you’re all set up, you can surf around the platform and find other hubs with topics that catch your eye. Your profile stores all of your Hubs (conversation groups) in an easy to find location which shows Hub Invites, Owned Hubs (if you create your own) and Hub History (Hubs you’ve viewed and may want to join one day). Hubs can contain informative pieces like news articles, fun videos, gifs, you can upload images or engage with more interactive content like polls. For all you sports lovers, there are live scoreboards from sports events and plenty of Hubs for specific topics that you can join!
Features
Some other features that can be found in the SpokeHub app include private messaging, augmented reality, a collection of the Hubs you’ve joined and even a feature to allow you to start a public or private Hub!
-
Private Messaging
- The messaging tool on SpokeHub is your standard, and easy to use, messaging feature. This is a great way to reach out to specific users about topics and ideas you may have!
-
Augmented Reality
- This feature is a unique experience because the app uses your phone ’s camera to uncover videos containing more information about certain hubs in a more interactive way. All you have to do is scan a brand’s logo, or designated picture/object, to activate the AR feature. As you watch the video you also have an option to visit that specific Hub and join in on that particular conversation!
- Here I scanned the Atlanta Hawks logo and it brought me to a Hub talking about the latest news on the team, which happened to be the NBA Draft 2018.

-
Hubs
- Each hub contains a community of people who are interested in the same things you are. It’s a place to talk about your passions, hear other perspectives, and find new topics that interest you.
- The SpokeHub app stores all the previous Hubs you’ve been a part of so you can continue the conversation at any time. If there isn’t a Hub already created for something you’re passionate about, then you can create one and make it public or private (invite only)!
SpokeHub is a great way to stay informed and also engage with other users about topics you care about. It allows you to follow topics instead of friends which makes it unlike other social platform out there.
#FierceFemalesHub Event
On August 14 at 8pm EST, I’ll be hosting my own SpokeHub chat segment to talk about Women in Business within the new #FierceFemalesHub. As a former first grade teacher I took the leap to work for myself. I had been blogging since college and my little side hobby was turning into a business of its own. It was scary, uncertain and honestly one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. But, after four years of teaching and working in a somewhat typical 9-5 job, I quit.
I remember walking into my principal’s office to tell him the news. It took me two weeks to get up the courage to actually quit. I had kept my blog life pretty quiet at that time so he was definitely shocked. I look back to that year, that day and I am so happy that I had the courage to be a Fierce Female and go after the dreams I had of working for myself. As much as I loved teaching I feel so fortunate that I somehow found that inner strength to go after even bigger dreams. I want to encourage all of you to be a Fierce Female. If you have something that you think, what if? Maybe I should? The answer is YES! You’ll never know if you don’t try and you can always go back to where you are.
I encourage all of you to download the app and join me in the Fierce Females Hub. We are fierce females and it’s time we talk about our strengths and empower each other! During this chat we can discuss all our opinions, stories and share ideas to bring positive changes and important topics to the forefront. We’ll be discussing Women Who Work For Themselves, Women Taking on Stronger Roles and Women Taking Side Gigs. Follow along with me and my co-hosts as we listen, talk, debate, explain and grow in this forum all about Fierce Females!
The conversation shouldn’t end with me, I’m just getting it started 🙂
There will be other segments going live in the hub through August discussing all types of Fierce Females, including topics on “Celebrating Moms” (including, struggles with infertility), “Pursuing Your Passions Without Compromising Your Sanity” and “Body Positivity + Anti-Cyberbullying”. You will NOT want to miss any of these so make sure to stay tuned in the hub and share your input with us and the rest of the #FierceFemalesHub hubsters!
You can download the app at the App Store or Google Play!
