Oct 30, 2009 Writing and Speaking
Are you a professional who makes their living in the public speaking business? if so you may be, like so many others I meet, completely frustrated with what the recession has done to the meetings marketplace and the speaking opportunities you depend on to make a living.
History shows us that it is in recessions when some really great foundations are laid upon which great businesses are built. With just a few small changes your public speaking business can be positioned for amazing profits and success.
The first thing to consider is that in the Internet marketing world, you can find people who are searching for your unique view on your niche. These people may or may not live in the US, they may be living all over the world. But now you can find them, you can build relationships with them which could cause them to want to own your books, audios, videos, seminars or whatever else you’ve created. This is a very exciting opportunity!
Second is you should realize that “content is king” and that from this day forward you should never give a talk without recording it. You never know when the opportunity to monetize that recording will come your way. If you did not record it then those who were in attendance who wanted to hear it again or share you with friends are out of luck. You may even want to offer the recording to audience members in exchange for their email address.
Last is that you must have a powerful Internet presence that is alive with fresh content. Today many speakers are bloggers too, allowing you to regularly provide your wisdom and perspective to your fans and followers. You’ll also want to make regular use of online video and social media marketing.
In conclusion, you should know that even though there are fewer speaking engagements than you are used to there are actually more opportunities to find, attract and build relationships with people who are searching for information on your niche topic. This opens the door to a very profitable product based public speaking business, with less travel and more nights at home with loved ones.
