HOW SUCCESSFUL SPEAKERS LEVERAGE LINKEDIN

You gave a great talk. The audience loved it. But a week later, they've forgotten. Speaking is one of the best ways to grow your influence and attract new clients. BUT - the real magic happens when you take that talk to LinkedIn and beyond.

BEFORE THE EVENT

• Share that you are speaking and, if applicable, encourage others to attend or listen to your presentation.

• Visuals are best, so select one that reflects the Talk - Venue & Topic.

• TAG @____ the event organizers, other speakers, the venue, and sponsors.

• Create a Video with a sneak peek of your topic and share that as well.

• Once you have posted, highlight them in your Featured Section.

• Finally, reach out to any other speakers to connect and meet at the event.

DURING THE EVENT

• Share the experience by highlighting your arrival to the event

• Shoot a "Behind-the-Scenes Video

• Do a Video of Tips & Strategies for a successful talk

• Sponsors are a great connection and taking the time to visit with them and capture photos are great for sharing (really expands your reach)

• Take a Selfie with you and the audience (make sure the focus is on the audience)

• Each time tag @___ all that are involved using the event #hashtags

AFTER THE EVENT

• Post photos of the event of you with other speakers, attendees, sponsors, etc.

• Post an On-Stage Reflection - about a question or key takeaway

• Break down the main points into bite-sized LinkedIn posts over the following week - Tag @____ and use #Hashtags as well as include all speakers.

• Reach out to any new speakers and also the attendees to connect (be sure to include a message about being at the event)

THE STAGE IS JUST THE BEGINNING

Speaking is one of the fastest ways to build credibility, expand your network and create a ripple effect of new opportunities. Every time you step on stage - you are sharing your message BUT you are also opening doors to...

• Article - Podcast - Blog Interviews

• Collaborations

• Paid Speaking Gigs
