To focus on my audience. That's the best pre-speech routine I know. It really helps me connect much better than when I'm focusing on the room details. I meet the audience.

Building Your Online Community: Social Networks & Beyond™ ...virtual presentation Oct 6th - designed for speakers

Today’s community isn't happening in Main Street coffee shops, over the phone or even through e-mail. Time constraints and generational transitions have led to the rapid growth of communities through Facebook, LinkedIn, blogging, Ning, Twitter, YouTube and other social networks. Certified Speaking Professional Michele Payn-Knoper has closely monitored the ever-changing social media world and grown her speaking business by applying these lessons to her niche in the agrifood business. She has been booked through these tools, had #AgChat (weekly streaming conversation on Twitter) featured in CNN and connected with reporters at The New York Times. You'll learn from her experience developing online communities and how social networks are impacting popular opinion about business.

MPK will help you find a road map to get started with an online community, understand differences between the major sites and how to stake your claim in Web 2.0. You'll be surprised with your ability to build online networks efficiently by creating a strategic social media hub. If you want to be seen as a leader in your community, Michele believes NOW is the time for you to be a part of social media in managing your image online. Her employment of these tools, initiative with NSA XY and leadership in agricultural advocacy landed Michele on this summer's "25 Hot Speakers" list in The Speaker magazine.

Bring your questions to this interactive session about social media strategy. You’ll learn:
 6 social media tools you can use in business
 Social media’s role in levelling the marketing playing field
 Demographics that will likely surprise you
 Action plan to get started on social networks in a matter of minutes

Grow your network, build stronger relationships and become seen as a resource through the strategic use of social media in your speaking business. Michele looks forward to learning with you!

Hi Everyone...watch your emails this week. We have a TERRIFIC new program in which you're going to want to be involved. I tested it over the past 2 days and have received nearly 50 notices for "speakers wanted" in my topic areas. It provides info about you and your topics to nearly 200 corporations and planners locally and 1000 media outlets nationwide. If you know others who are speakers and need publicity, tell them to join this group. Must be a member of this group to get into the program. More in a few days...

Steve, thanks for the plug! You did all the work, though...and who wouldn't want to hear from you?! Hope you had a good time with Coach Crean! I was thinking about you :)
