When you really think about it you are being paid a heck of a lot of money for that hour you are on stage and the amount of exposure you get is absolutely amazing.\u00a0 For the people in the audience, they are the ones who are paying the most.Not only do they have to pay for their tickets and passes to the show, but they are spending their time in your session instead of learning in other sessions and if they don’t feel like they got their money’s worth, then they not only wasted time listening to you talk about nothing and avoiding actually helping, but they could have gone to another session and actually learned something.\u00a0 By not sharing strategies and in a good amount of detail than you not only stole a spot from someone who would have shared a strategy but you have also wasted the people in the audiences time by having them sit through a bunch of general answers when they could have been learning something in someone else’s session.When you look at who has the most people coming up to them after a session and who doesn’t, most of the time it is the person who shared the most and not only spoke up, but spoke up because they had something of value to say.\u00a0 I don’t think you should talk just to be heard, but you should talk when you have some actual advice to give with examples and solid recommendations.\u00a0 I am probably one of the lesser known people on most panels but after each one I am usually one of the ones with the most people waiting to talk to me.\u00a0 The only reason is that I am not scared to share my strategies.\u00a0 That is what I am being paid with a pass to share and what the people who come to see me speak expect to get from me and my sessions.\u00a0 When I went to a site review at Pubcon I saw Rae Hoffman for the first time and even though she is an absolute Diva of the Search Marketing world, the reason she had the most people waiting to talk is because she is the one who shared the most solid and to the point strategies.She wasn’t scared to share what was on her mind and give advice that she thought was helpful and would benefit the audience, but she also went above and beyond what she was asked to do and gave them pointers on potential copy to write and how to pitch to get backlinks and get to guest blog.\u00a0 She was above and beyond knowledgeable and not afraid to share her ideas with complete strangers.\u00a0 That is why she was able to have along line of people waiting to talk to her after the show.So when it comes to my new Philosophy and speaking, if you think I am giving away to much information well, get off my stage and let someone else on who is looking to share.\u00a0 That is why we are asked to speak and why people pay to come to our sessions instead of just an expo hall pass.\u00a0 Pubcon was amazing and if you have never been to the show then I highly recommend you go.\u00a0 Hopefully they’ll have me back again as it was above and beyond one of my favorite shows and one of my favorite places to speak.\u00a0 If you want to watch the videos when they are released it was the session on Tuesday morning about why you should start an Affiliate program and what to watch out for."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Other","item":"https:\/\/www.adamriemer.me\/other\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"My New Philosophy – Nothing like a broadway song","item":"https:\/\/www.adamriemer.me\/other\/my-new-philosophy-nothing-like-a-broadway-song\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
