Ways to Promote Your Club Online

There are a variety of ways to promote Toastmasters and your home club online.

Here are a few suggestions:

1. Add Toastmasters to your email signature. Something s simple as "Ask Me About Toastmasters" with a link to either Toastmasters International - or even better - your club's website. (or both!)

2. Are you on Facebook? Talk about Toastmasters in your posts, add Toastmasters to your profile bio and a link to your club's website on your profile. Connect with other Toastmasters on Facebook and subscribe to the District 13 Public Relations Group.

3. Open a Twitter account for your club and tweet away! You can even add a link on your club's website to lead people to your Twitter account.

4. Add Toastmasters to your LinkedIn profile along with a link to your club's website. Join the District 13 Toastmasters group.

5. Sign up at TribLive's Pittsburgh Neighborhoods and promote your meetings on the Events page. Go to this link to find the neighborhood closest to your club. Be sure to post when, where and how often you meet.

6. Use the "Meet Our Members" feature on our freetoasthost website. Encourage your members to share a short bio on why they joined Toastmasters or how it has helped them along with their picture. Visitors to your website will feel as if they have already "met you" before they arrive at your door.

7. Link you club's website to your club's listing at Toastmasters International and Google. Not sure how to do that? Contact me!

8. Check your club's listing at the District 13 website and provide updated information regarding your club's website for the webmaster.
