  Every speaker - at every level of the speaking profession - is in the midst of redesigning their business. We all have to meet the demands of an ever-evolving speaker marketplace. These six highly successful, veteran speakers will help you map out your plan for success in 2021 and beyond in various focus areas.

  This will be a special, NSA Members-Only program featuring two sessions: Session One will be short (10 minute) presentations by each professional on their tips for getting paid to speak in 2021, regardless of your level of experience. Session Two will be breakout sessions hosted by these speakers and include a "mini" Master Mind style discussion. This is where each participant will be able to ask the most burning question they have about getting paid to speak in that focus area.

  Registrants will be asked to pre-select their preferred breakout session at registration time so they are matched with their area of greatest interest.

  Here is the lineup of outstanding presenters:

  Hi it's Dan Shinder, and I am truly honored to be asked to share my expertise with the NSA-DC Chapter on April 10.

  I’m among the very few who speak on, consult, and provide education and training on social media marketing from the experience of actually having had tremendous success. I have attracted a following of over one million people to my lifestyle media brand and reach a million more people a month, all on social media, all 100% organically. No boosting posts, no paid ads, no “buying followers.”

  Does every NSA-DC member need one million followers??? Probably not, but all of us can benefit from even just 10,000 new avid followers in love with what we do! More warm traffic to drive to where they buy.

  The April 10 program, “SMOS: Start From Where You Are” has been designed specifically for NSA-DC. As a long-time, active member of NSA Arizona, I know this will be a mixed group of speaking entrepreneurs of different levels of experience in business and in marketing. Regardless of whether you are is a seasoned content marketer or brand new to the idea of marketing on social media, I promise to leave you with lots of actionable takeaways in this program. Among the topics we’ll be covering are:

  1. How it All Really Works: an introduction to reach-thwarting algorithms and how to get around them.

  2. The REAL Purpose of a Post and how to avoid the #1 mistake that everyone from.

  solopreneurs to legacy brands are making with content marketing on social. (Hands-on exercises included!)

  3. Effective Composition of a post – three elements every post must have!

  4. When to Post – the number one question I am asked!

  5. What are REAL results and how to measure them.

  
  

  There will be time for Q & A along the flow of the presentation and a hands-on exercise! Here are a few testimonials, and some by people you may know:

  “Dan is extremely knowledgeable about Facebook and Digital Marketing and is a very giving trainer. I highly suggest you attend, learn and implement!”
  —Debbie Allen
  CSP, Past NSA AZ President, Leading Entrepreneur, Retail and Branding Industries

  “Wow! I learned so much from Dan Shinder: how to have a huge presence on social media and, just as important, I learned what not to do. There is no doubt Dan saved me thousands of dollars. Dan is fun, easy to learn from and provides practical information.”
  —Dr. Larry Emmott
  Past NSA AZ President, Leading Entrepreneur, Dental Industry

  “Rarely do I have the opportunity to recommend someone as highly as I can with Dan Shinder. He is my “go-to” guy for all Social Media answers. If you do what he teaches it will work! Dan is also an amazingly entertaining and funny platform speaker and I enjoy every minute of his presentations.”
