By the time this lands in your inbox, I'll be returning from 2007 Speaker Summit in Los Angeles. If you took advantage of Susan's great 2-for-1 offer, I'll probably see you there. If not, then you'll definitely want to be sure not to miss next year's Summit! You might notice the new logo we're sporting in the header of our ezine. And hopefully (fingers crossed!), by the time you read this, our website will have a completely new look. Connie McVicker has been slaving away relentlessly with the new design so it would be up and running in time for me to unveil it while in Los Angeles. I'm pleased to announce that we'll be adding podcasting and audio editing to our list of services in the very near future. As a speaker, podcasting should be right up there at the top of your list of things to do. Much like blogging or submitting articles to directories, Podcasting is another great marketing tool. It’s a way to share your knowledge and expertise, in order to gain clients, sell products and increase brand awareness. Download our Podcasting FAQ. This issue's feature article is by Bryan Caplovitz, Founder and CEO of SpeakerMatch. Bryan's article, Are You Earning Top Dollar for Your Speeches?, gives some great insight into what separates the top earners in the speaking profession apart from everyone else. Be sure to check out SpeakerMatch, and their unique way of matching speakers with speaking opportunities. Just click on the link in the Resource section of this ezine. I hope you enjoyed this issue of Speak Up and Make Money! I really am interested in your feedback and comments, so please let me know what you think, as well as what you like and/or dislike about the ezine. Do you have an event coming up that you'd like me to include in the next issue? And don’t forget … for more great articles and information, visit my blog, Virtually This and That! at http://www.myfastype.com/Blog. To your success!
Are You Earning Top Dollar for Your Speeches? How’d they do it? The easy answer is that they were great pitchmen — and that’s somewhat true. They all sold products at the back of the room. But that’s not really a fair assessment. All of them are also great speakers. Every one of them had a well-developed speech that was packed with great information. They were captivating, motivational, entertaining, and most importantly — they provided great content. Interestingly, not all of them had great stage presence, and a couple of them really needed a little work on their delivery.
What they had to offer was the one
thing that separates the top earners in the speaking profession
apart from everyone else — product! Whether you sell products at the
back of the room or not, your total sales of products and services
each year should far surpass your actual speaking fees. Don’t have a
book yet? Consider having someone transcribe an audio recording of
your speeches to get you started.
