Developing and utilizing presentation skills can result in
increased income for you. Here are a few ways that you can turn
your public speaking experience into business profits.
1. Free Speeches to Promote Your Business
A lawyer might make a speech to a group of business persons,
free of charge, about the advantages of incorporating their
businesses. This could result in obtaining new clients. It
could also cause existing clients to purchase additional
services, such as incorporations, minute book work, income tax
election filings, and so on.
2. Paid Seminars, Workshops and Teleclasses
You could charge admission fees to attend a seminar entitled
"How To Incorporate Yourself Without a Lawyer". This seminar
could detail the considerations and mechanics of incorporating
your own private corporation.
3. Sell Information Products
The information presented during a speech or seminar could form
the basis for information products such as books, courses,
special reports or folios, audios, videos, DVDs, electronic
books, and so forth. For example, you could write a book
entitled "How To Incorporate Yourself Without a Lawyer".
Including such products as handouts at your seminar would
increase the value for the attendees (which you could charge
for). Even if you gave a free speech to a group, you could
still receive back-end income from the sale of such information
products.
Obviously, your public speaking skills will be especially
important when producing an audio or video cassette. Your
listeners and viewers will make certain judgments based on your
personal appearance, poise, audience contact, use of gestures,
enthusiasm, how informative the material is, and many other
factors.
Your information products establish your credibility as an
expert, resulting in even more business. As well, you can
market those same information products through mail order,
direct mail, Internet marketing, and other methods.
4. Consulting and Other Opportunities
As your reputation as an expert in your specialized field
grows, you will become more in demand. Clients may seek you out
for lucrative speaking engagements. You may be invited to write
magazine articles, consult for large corporations, act as an
expert trial witness, become a syndicated columnist, et cetera.
Therefore, whether you are a novice or an experienced public
speaker, it pays to increase and utilize your public speaking
skills.
