How Speakers Can Use Facebook to Grow Their Business
Facebook is as ubiquitous as any product or service gets. In their latest figures released in April 2020, the social media powerhouse revealed that they have an average of 1.73 billion daily active users. That figure represents just under a quarter of the entire world population logging in to use the platform in some way every single day.
Those astonishing figures should wake you up to the fact that if you’re not active on this platform, you’re getting left behind by the speakers that are.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at how you can use the most popular social media network in the world to secure more speaking opportunities.
Enjoy!

Speaking for 10k
I’m going to be blunt with you. Because I care about you, and I know you’re very likely stuck in a traditional speaking career business model that has you thinking you already know how to be a speaker who gets $10,000 per event.
You’re working hard to build your platform, make those connections and work your audiences into a fan-frenzied following that you can tap into for the big speaking fees.
You’re probably thinking that someday, you’ll be able to ask for, and get, that kind of appearance fee while planners are lining up to book you years in advance, and smiling while they hand over those heavy checks.
There are some really good resources out there that will help a speaker get to that point, but I’ll tell you this: If you’re not famous already, or are the very pinnacle expert in your field, you will not get those kinds of fees starting out.
No planner is going to pay you that kind of money unless you’re a household name, famous, an ex-president, astronaut, etc. And, honestly, maybe not even then.
You see where I’m going, right?
That list could go on and on. But if you’re not on it already, you will need to think outside of that very narrow lane to get to your $10K payday.
Here’s the right turn you need to make. Get ready to put your blinker on.
