I need an audience!

When potential speakers are asked, “what do you need to become a motivational speaker?” I often receive the reply, “I need an audience!”

In the  FAQ videos  I have addressed the question, “who will I speak to?” You can start with groups that you belong to, and expand to groups whose members are seeking your solution to their challenges. If you know your target market, you can approach their professional association to be a speaker at their monthly meeting or to write articles for their newsletter so they know your expertise (speaking requests will soon follow!)

If you are serious about becoming a motivational speaker, you can search  www.SpeakYourPassionNow.com for organizations that are seeking speakers. You can also be listed  as a speaker who is available for free or paid speaking engagements. Based on your skill sets, they will also notify you when opportunities that meet your criteria are posted.

Of course, if you havent’ gone through my Your Target Market program, you can speak to any random, warm body, even your dog,  just so you can practice in front of an audience!

See you on the speaker circuit!

Where can I speak?

If you haven’t already done so, you may want to view the FAQ videos for some tips as to where you can speak.

 For speaking leads based on your target market, you can check out the following:

Susan Levin, owns Speaker Services, a training, development and marketing services company for speakers and authors. I have known Susan for many years and highly recommend getting listed in her directory as soon as possible!  You can be listed in the directory in one of two categories – free or fee.  If you are just starting out, you will most likely be listed under the free category. After you’ve given the same speech about 30 times to the same target market, you’ll probably be approached by people in the audience who ask, “how much would it be for you to speak to our group?”  Success!  It is time to start charging a fee!

I have given detailed answers to the question, “where will I speak?” in the FAQ videos .  It also includes snippets of some of my previous jaunts on television and radio, locally and around the world. I hope you took advantage of that resource ($25 for all 4 videos!) and have started moving forward to become a motivational speaker.

For more information about Susan’s program, please visit, www.SpeakerServices.com and let her know I referred you.

 See you on the speaking circuit!
