In this episode, Sean Douglas explains why social media is one of the most overlooked assets speakers have when it comes to getting booked and paid to speak. Event planners do not just look at your website. They look at your LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook profiles to verify who you are, what you speak about, and whether you are actively speaking. Sean walks through how to structure your social media profiles so that there is no confusion about your role as a speaker, how to showcase social proof through photos and videos, and why your content must align with the topics you want to speak about. You will also learn why your network matters, how event planners evaluate your online presence, and the simple steps you can take right now to make your social media work as a booking tool. If you want to get booked more consistently, your social media must clearly communicate one thing. You are a speaker. Key Takeaways Your social media profiles should clearly state that you are a speaker. Event planners regularly check LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook before booking speakers. Your bio should include your speaking topic so event planners can easily identify your expertise. Post content that reflects the topics you speak about on stage. Photos and video clips of you speaking are powerful social proof. Share graphics and announcements from events where you are speaking. Your network and connections also influence how event planners evaluate you. Audit your social media profiles regularly to ensure they clearly position you as a speaker.
