The Path to Profitable Public Speaking

What follows are excerpts form my popular manual " Speaking for Profit and Pleasure"

Every month I receive numerous emails from people all over
North America asking how to get into the business of speaking
for money. To respond to these many inquiries I produced this
popular audio speaking series. Here are seven timely tips
from my audio speaking system, to get you started on the path
to speaking for big money.


1. If you want to become a successful, well paid speaker you
must become well known. Promotion and publicity are vital to
your success.

2. Leave your promotional footprints wherever you go so people
find you easily.

3. After each speech ask those who hired you for a written
testimonial. Use these testimonials, or parts of them, in your
advertising and publicity. I have never had people refuse to
provide a testimonial for me. Sometimes I have had to remind
them, but no one has ever refused.

4.Access free publicity whenever possible. Write and submit
press releases frequently. Writers and editors are always
looking for new story material and your press release could
result in an interview and a story being written about you,
your work and/or your publications.

5. Some new speakers say that it is difficult to establish a
reputation as a speaker when many businesses are reluctant to
hire unknowns to in-service their employees. I solved this
problem by offering to speak free of charge ...with certain
conditions attached of course.

6. To get speaking engagements you must present yourself to
people looking for speakers. Every community has an abundance
of organizations, associations and service groups in need of
speakers for their conferences, banquets and in-service
sessions. Make yourself known to them.


7. Promote yourself and your products within each speech, but
in just the right dosage. Too much self promotion and you can
turn your audience against you. Too little and they might
ignore your products altogether.

Summary... 1. Decide on a topic
2. Prepare a dynamite 45 minute speech on your
chosen topic
3. Make sure it is laced with humor and stories
4. Know it so well that if I woke you and and said
start in at the 10 minute mark you could.
5. Bring it to the local market then the world.
6. Advertise and promote like crazy.
7. Let word of mouth take over.

Confident Public Speaking and The Law of Expectations By Mike Moore

The Law of Expectations states that we move toward and eventually realize what we expect from life. If you expect to be successful, if you work hard to achieve success and if you never give up, you will achieve your expectations.

When you combine the law of expectations with visualization you compound your possibilities. If you expect to be successful and visualize yourself as successful the likelihood of you achieving success is certain. Remember, we tend to become what we expect to become.


When applied to public speaking it looks like this. When you are hired to give a speech expect it to be a sparkling, enthusiastic success. Visualize yourself as an interesting, witty, well informed master of the art who totally enjoys the subject and the audience. Hold this expectation and vision in your mind firmly. Don't let go of it for anything. Repeat over and over," I tend to become what I expect to become and achieve what I expect to achieve."



If you commit yourself to this process you will begin to see improvement in both your delivery and in your relationship with your audience. You will be on the way to becoming the speaker you want to become. What's more, people will want to listen to what you have to say and your charisma quotient will increase significantly. It worked for me and it will for you.

Story...The Magic of the Night Sky

I love the night sky. There is something comforting, mysterious and hopeful about standing under a canopy of swirling stars. Each summer I go camping alone in Canada's beautiful northland to satisfy a hunger for solitude, wilderness and the night sky. Away from city lights there is nothing more awe inspiring than a star studded sky in the stillness of the wilderness.

I usually set up camp beside a lonely northern lake providing me with a long horizon and an uninterrupted view of the heavens. As darkness approaches I begin to sense an overwhelming closeness to the mysteries of the universe and a strong connection to the source of all that is. I become aware of an alternate rhythm to life - a rhythm which is so easily lost amidst the frenetic pace of contemporary existence. Embraced by darkness, with stars too numerous to count and comforted by the gentle lapping of the waves I begin to realize how much I miss living in a city with its incessant, invasive brightness. It is as if I am rediscovering an enormous part of a lost spiritual heritage.

When sleep begins to engulf me and my eyes start to close, I reluctantly move toward my camper not wanting to miss a moment of this celestial display but realizing that I can't resist the call to slumber any longer. In the warmth of my sleeping bag I let the silence and stillness lull me to sleep with the immortal words of Sophocles gently echoing across the centuries, " Mortal I know I am, short lived. Yet whenever I stand beneath a multitude of swirling stars I no longer tread this earth, but rise to feast with God and enjoy the food of the immortals." And so to sleep.
