How To Use Social Proof & AI To Get Speaking Gigs

On April 29th, I’ll speak at SOMO - a social media conference in Auckland.

Attendees pay $500 a ticket and are a perfect fit for us as clients at K&J.

Here’s how I got a speaking spot & how you can do the same thing:

1. Go to Google & search “(your vertical) conference”

Social media conference

2. Scan the conference agenda and either download it or take a screenshot

3. Go to ChatGPT

> Use the following prompt:

“Based on this agenda, please create a pitch to send to a conference producer about an innovative topic (insert your vertical) that isn’t covered in this agenda and turn this into an email to pitch to the conference producer”

> See if it actually fits your skill set and craft the presentation from your own experience and expertise

3. Go back to the conference’s site:

> Find the “about us” page
> Find the person with the title “Conference Producer” or something similar
> If that’s not displayed, look for “Marketing Manager”
> Grab the email or find their LinkedIn profile

4. Send the pitch you got from ChatGPT to the conference producer

I’ve landed two other speaking gigs this year using this method.

P.S - if you want help on actually improving as a speaker - hit reply to this email and I’ll share my resources for how I prepare
