Public Speaking Tips: 10 Tips to Help Position Yourself
Posted by: | Comments1. Niche Yourself
Yes, I know you have heard this many times and it couldn’t be truer! One of the biggest mistakes a speaker can make is having too “general” of a topic. You want to narrow your expert niche as much as possible. Become the Speaker of Choice, research your topic industry so you know “what’s hot” and “what’s not”. Take that research and develop a niche around it, be sure it is something you have experience with and will be able to present it as a professional expert speaker in that field. Don’t waste your time, energy and money on developing a “niche” that just isn’t going to get any recognition because it isn’t something that planners will be looking for! Do your research and I do put emphasis on this tip! Once you have discovered your niche, you must continue to practice your speaking skills and update your material and presentations to keep-up with the trends and changing issues.

Hiring a Keynote Motivational Speaker for Business and Events
Posted by: | CommentsSECRETS FOR SPECTACULAR EVENTS: HOW TO BRING FUN AND EXCITEMENT TO ANY EVENT
People go to meetings and conferences for all kinds of reasons. Some go because they are required to go. Some are obviously looking for knowledge. Some want to “recharge their batteries” and need a break. Some are looking for camaraderie with others who share their frustrations. Regardless of the particular motivation, your goal is to provide a fresh, innovative and entertaining program that will make a real difference in the work and lives of the attendees. The challenge is to rivet the audience’s attention, leaving them inspired, motivated and wanting more.
Choosing a keynote speaker who will instill a sense of fun while providing cutting edge expertise is the key to jumpstarting a successful meeting.
A wealth of research shows that providing a fun atmosphere promotes attention to and retention of the information provided, as well as encourages dialogue and interaction throughout the meeting.
A fun milieu promotes a safe and relaxed feeling for even the most reticent attendee.
Every event is made up of four critical components and here are key tips the meeting professional can use to bring fun, anticipation and excitement to each phase.
Public Speakers: Create a Member Site
Posted by: | Comments
If you’re a speaker you have a lot of knowledge and content to share. Why not leverage this knowledge and sell it in many different formats. What this does is not only fill in the gaps when your speaking schedule is slow, it gives you a chance to share with people who may not be able to attend your presentation but want to stay connected to you and your solutions.
Although there are many ways to do this one I am going to briefly mention is starting a membersite for your audience. It is one I am very familiar with and have been running myself since 2002. It’s as simple as putting the concept together, your content, your simple website (use WordPress.org, its free) and a member platform. As far as finding the perfect platforms this is something I have struggled with since 2002 and not until recently did I discover an awesome platform that works perfect with WordPress, its called Wishlist and it’s a one time purchase and that’s it, no monthly fees, no hassles and great customer service.
You can listen to the audio below to learn more and listen in to a success story from using WishList.
