I can’t stress the importance for each and every speaker to create a strong online presence. Today about 90% or more of your buyers are going online to find their experts and you want to found quickly and easily. Below are a few tips to help you build a strong online presence.
- The most obvious of course is a website. Have a site that speaks directly to your audience and one that clearly states your message so there is no confusion in the visitors mind as to what you do, what you have to offer and how you can benefit them our their audience. Make your site is easy to navigate and has all pertinent information. No flash, it not necessary and it’s a distraction plus it makes your site load slow and they will close it and move on to another website. Be sure and have your media kit online because this is where buyers want to find it. Don’t send hard copies through the mail unless requested.
- Create videos and more videos! Today a lot of your marketing tools online are free or low cost so you all should be taking advantage of them because they will boost your online presence. Use YouTube to get your videos online and then copy and paste the HTML code and add the video to your website and blog. Your video can become a viral marketing campaign and be shared worldwide.

Public Speakers: Create a Member Site
Posted by: | Comments
If you’re a speaker you have a lot of knowledge and content to share. Why not leverage this knowledge and sell it in many different formats. What this does is not only fill in the gaps when your speaking schedule is slow, it gives you a chance to share with people who may not be able to attend your presentation but want to stay connected to you and your solutions.
Although there are many ways to do this one I am going to briefly mention is starting a membersite for your audience. It is one I am very familiar with and have been running myself since 2002. It’s as simple as putting the concept together, your content, your simple website (use WordPress.org, its free) and a member platform. As far as finding the perfect platforms this is something I have struggled with since 2002 and not until recently did I discover an awesome platform that works perfect with WordPress, its called Wishlist and it’s a one time purchase and that’s it, no monthly fees, no hassles and great customer service.
