What do you need to do as a speaker when it comes to Social Media? To make the most of your speaking engagement, follow this Speakers' Social Media Template to help you market and promote your presentation. Just like preparing for the presentation itself, this template offers suggestions for you to maximise your marketing around the presentation. Before: Share the event with your social media followers, upload your slides to Slideshare, engage with other attendees During: Encourage the audience to tweet, share your twitter handle and hashtag, share resources and links After: Post photos to Facebook, follow up attendees with an email And lots, lots more. These are the exact same processes we use to make the most of every speaking engagement. We'd love to hear your feedback.
