Make sure your media kit webpage really works!
It probably doesn’t need to be said, but I will say it anyway… All files on your media kit webpage should be downloadable. It does very little good if visitors to your webpage can see the pictures but not download them. At this point, you might be asking, “Why should I let everyone download some of my best material? Won’t they just watch my videos and get all my ideas?” In essence, you WANT people to download as much as possible because the LIVE experience of a speaker is always 100% better than a video. All the materials in your media kit (photos, videos, samples etc.) are the tools that your customers are going to be used to sell THEIR customers, i.e. your potential audience members, on attending your speech, event or appearance.
Possible alternative to a media kit on your website…?
Media Kit Examples:
Darren LaCroix
– http://darrenlacroix.com/keynote/event-planner-tools/
Darren has a fairly limited “media kit” which he calls his “event planner tools” but still a good example for other speakers.
Jim Snack
– http://www.jimsnack.com/meetingplanner.htm
Jim’s media kit page is also very simple but it covers the basics nicely.
Mark Victor Hansen
– http://mark.instantmediakit.com/photos.php
Mark is the author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books and fairly famous. He also uses InstantMediaKit.com for his media kit which means that it is fairly comprehensive. The downside? Many of the items shown as tabs on his media kit page require a password to access. Either they do not exist or he is limiting access … either way it would be frustrating for me if I was an event planner.
