You’ve heard all about social media, you may using it to some extent – now is the opportunity to learn how you, as a speaker, can use social media to your advantage! At our July meeting, Linda Coles, Social Media Expert will share:

Successful Social Media Strategies for Speakers
"We don’t have a choice on whether we do social media, the question is how well we do it.” - Eric Qualman

A recent Nielsen study showed that 78% of people trusted peer recommendations or word of mouth marketing and only 14% trusted advertisements. What does that do to your conventional marketing strategy?

In this session, we will look in detail how to use the following sites to promote and build  your speaking career:

  • LinkedIn: Find out how to showcase your own brand on a professional and business oriented  networking platform.
  • Facebook: Learn how to make the most from your business Facebook page with the right look, content, engagement and Facebook ads.
  • Twitter: Where does it fit in, not only as a platform to publish what you have to say, but for listening and liaising with people you want to connect with.

By using the social media tools correctly, you can put  yourself on the radar of those you want to do business with in the best possible light, people you may not ordinarily come into contact with. I will share with you  real life stories to back this up.

There is so much to squeeze in to this session, so be prepared to take plenty of notes to action the tips ASAP!

Also, in our second session, we will be exploring the social media topic further, with our popular interactive passion-cafe style tables. We will have experts facilitating on blogging, writing on the web, protecting your online reputation and more!

Pursue Excellence

Whāia te iti kahurangi Ki te tūohu koe, me he maunga teitei.

Pursue excellence: If you stumble, let it be to a lofty mountain.

Whaia e koe ki te iti kahurangi; ki te tuohu koe, me maunga teitei.

Seek the treasure you value most dearly: if you bow your head, let it be to a lofty mountain.
