Using YouTube to Grow Your Speaking Business

With Thomas Frank

Have you ever thought of YouTube as more than a place to host your videos? What if you could find out how to use YouTube to grow your speaking business? The man to tell us how is none other than my friend Thomas Frank.

Thomas went through our Booked and Paid to Speak trainings a few years ago. I met him when he was in college; I spoke at his school. We stayed in touch and he’s become extremely successful, especially with his YouTube channel.

On today’s show, we talk about his origins, how you can use YouTube to build your audience and find and book potential speaking gigs, and best practices for YouTube videos to generate more interest and views. Join us for Thomas’ insights on those subjects and much more on this episode of The Speaker Lab.
