Build A Better Career

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.

I’m sure you’ve heard this, but it is often in recession that great things happen. And if you make a few small tweaks to your public speaking business now, you can really profit in a very exciting way.

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 summary, while there are less opportunities to deliver your speech in person, there are more opportunities to find, attract and market to an audience online who is hungry for information on your niche topic. Learning to become a content provider who successfully markets their public speaking business online means more profits in your pocket and more nights at home asleep in your own bed.
