Stop Sabotaging Your Reach: Why Public Speakers Are Ignoring LinkedIn Newsletters (And Why They Shouldn’t
Are You Tired of Speaking to the Same Crowd Over and Over?”
“What if You Could Turn That Applause into Consistent Opportunities?”
Let's pause for a second. You might be thinking: "I already have a website, social media, and a mailing list. Why do I need yet another tool like a LinkedIn Newsletter?"
Here’s the truth: The digital landscape has changed, and if you’re not leveraging LinkedIn, you’re leaving money and opportunities on the table.
The Global Pain of Missed Opportunities
Public speakers everywhere are grappling with the same issue: visibility. You deliver an amazing speech, but after the event, the connection fades. According to a LinkedIn report, 80% of professionals use LinkedIn to grow their networks and discover content, yet less than 1% of LinkedIn users consistently publish newsletters.
That means you’re competing with fewer voices for the attention of decision-makers who want to hire speakers like you.
The Targeted Pain of Public Speakers
Imagine this: You’ve spent years honing your craft. You have the testimonials, the standing ovations, and maybe even a killer reel. But when event planners search for someone with your expertise, they never find you. Why? Because you’re not consistently showing up where they’re looking.
Here’s the kicker: LinkedIn is the first place event organizers check for speakers. If your presence is nonexistent or inconsistent, you’re missing out on gigs you deserve.
A Story to Put It in Perspective
Let me share a quick story. I recently worked with a talented speaker, Lisa, who was delivering incredible talks but struggling to turn her success on stage into consistent bookings. Her LinkedIn profile was decent, but she wasn’t leveraging it to its full potential.
When I suggested starting a LinkedIn Newsletter, she hesitated, thinking it would be too time-consuming. But once we launched her newsletter, everything changed. Each week, she shared her unique take on leadership trends and stories from her speaking experiences.
Within three months, her subscriber base grew to over 2,000 professionals, including HR leaders and event planners. One newsletter caught the eye of a corporate event organizer, leading to a paid gig that covered her annual revenue goal in one booking.
This is why I’m so passionate about LinkedIn newsletters. I’ve seen firsthand how they can transform a speaker’s visibility and open doors to opportunities that were once out of reach. My job is to help speakers like Lisa not just get on stage but stay in demand. Let me help you do the same.
Stop Waiting for Opportunities—Start Creating Them
If you’re waiting for your next gig to come from a referral or a cold email, you’re playing small. LinkedIn Newsletters are your secret weapon to turning passive connections into active opportunities.
Why Public Speakers Need LinkedIn Newsletters
1. Establish Thought Leadership
Your voice is your brand. A newsletter lets you showcase your expertise and share unique insights directly with your audience.
Statistic: Professionals who publish consistently on LinkedIn are 3x more likely to be contacted by recruiters and decision-makers (LinkedIn).

2. Engage a Targeted Audience
When someone subscribes to your newsletter, they’ve opted in to hear from you regularly. That’s a warm audience ready to engage.
3. Open Doors to Gigs
Event planners often look for speakers by consuming their content. Your newsletter becomes a living portfolio of your expertise.
4. Boost SEO and Discoverability
LinkedIn newsletters are indexed by Google, increasing your chances of being discovered by a global audience.
