To make the most of each speaking gig and get better invitations to speak in the future, here are the steps you should take after your speech or presentation is over: Look at and share the video: You don''t have to like it.

Here's how to become a networked speaker who makes the most of each presentation gig: Business cards are a must--but your regular cards may not be just right. Consider special cards for your speaking gigs that point audiences to your blog, resources online about this talk (see below) or how to engage you for another speech.

Many speakers have suffered lackluster and inaccurate introductions, where someone either throws together a few words at the last moment, or misconstrues something in your bio and gives you titles and accolades that are incorrect. The worst introductions are the ones where the introducer reads straight from the speaker''s bio and drones on and on about credentials and accomplishments that the audience couldn''t care less about.

It could lead to more speaking opportunities or landing a gig. Post a link to the presentation or a short summary on your About page, your LinkedIn profile and everywhere your bio shows up. With social media growing as a popular resource for businesses to reach out and connect with customers and prospects, presenters need to look outside of the room where they give presentations.

Showing organizers and committees that you are an available, experienced, and interested speaker will make all the difference in your ability to get more and better speaking gigs. Always ask after a gig whether the organizers had photos taken, and whether you can use and share them. One paragraph about yourself as a speaker will do wonders to your existing bio. Forget "shameless self-promotion." What's smart self-promotion for a public speaker?

And for a quick glimpse into how Ifill saw herself, you could do worse than this description she offers in the speech: If you judge me simply by reading my bio, you could also brand me as an activist on behalf of immigrants because my parents were born in another country, an activist on behalf of free speech because I believe in the First Amendment, women's rights because I am a woman, red lipstick because I wear red lipstick.

Turn down a speaking gig? Provide your introduction and a bio for the program: I''m a big fan of taking charge of your introduction , but never more so than when you''re on a panel. (Editor''s note: Since this post appeared in 2009 , my own views on panels have shifted quite a bit. I now advocate for panels without slides and technology, so the panel discussion can be a real discussion--and my own preference is to attend conferences with few or no panels.

Have prepared notes Print out the research you did of their bios, points of contention, the high level agenda, and follow up questions you may want to do. Next, give a brief introduction about the panelists –but save the lengthy bios for the pamphlet or website — folks know how to read.

The more they see proof of how you’ve delivered, the more they’ll be interested in hiring you for the next gig. While I love speaking gigs, I tend to be gun-shy on webinars. Penn I did have to call bullshit on a speaking gig in Boston recently, on the paid thing. They said, oh, we're running on a tight budget, we can't afford to pay, but we can comp an admission ticket - and the tickets for the gig are $2,199.

To make sure they know you're available and willing, promote that on your website, in your bio, and certainly whenever you're networking, both online and in person. Or, offer to moderate--a great speaking gig that ties together all the other speakers' points. What does it take for a conference to feature more women speakers on the program? Women have been blogging, writing and researching the question "Where are all the women speakers?"
