Discovering the Speaking Industry, with Shawn Ellis (Video)

It is always my desire to present to all Toastmaster member THE BIG PICTURE.
I want you to know what you have in your hands as a Competent Communicator.


I recently came upon the video on the blog of Shawn Ellis.  Mr. Ellis is an experienced
public speaker and a partner in a public speakers agency.  On the site he has posted
a 38 minute video that will give you a new perspective on the public speaking business,
as ab industry, in general.


You can opt-in (give him your email address) and receive two more highly informative,
free videos.  (But he does have several different information products he will offer you.)


Don't be offended by his sales pitches.  These messages only underline the profit possibilities
available for you and me as beginning speakers.


These types of blog posts are only to help you see where your speaking activities might
take you.  Enjoy this video at the link below.

Craig Valentine on Giving Great Value... By Wayne Kronz

One of my heroes, Craig Valentine has written an extraordianary article titled,  Avoid Being Worthless to Your Audience (3 Tools).
 
It is must reading for everyone who would get up front, deliver
their message and then answer for the outcome of their presentation.

And especially every Toastmaster.  You see, Craig started as a Toastmaster, just like you and I.  And this article is loaded with ideas that will get you from where he came from, to where you want to be.

Simply click on the link above and then leave me a comment about what you think about this article.

Online Speeches that Last, Part 2 By Wayne Kronz

Part Two---There are three parts to the “radical” changes I’m talking
about here today.

       
Number one—Speaking, , , and you’ve pretty well got a handle
on this one.  After all, you’ve already joined Toastmasters. 
You know how important it is to up your speaking ability.

       
Number two—Writing.  Seldom is this ever brought up in a
speaking format such as Toastmasters.

       
In my opinion, if your want your speeches to last and last and
last, most of your speeches should beconverted into text form
and then be published online.

Facebook and blogs are free and an easy places for you to post
your speeches.

But, ultimately, many of your speeches should be bundled and
become the backbone of your first book.  How many of you
would really like to write a book?

It is impossible to underestimate the impact of being a published
author in your career, your speaking or any thing else you do.

Number three—The Internet.  Knowing how to use just a few
of its hundreds of functions can multiply your speaking potential
ten fold, one hundred fold, , , even a thousand fold.  I will stop
at this.

It’s time to introduce you to another Indiana word, , , Funnimar! 
That’s spelled f-u-n-n-i-m-a-r.

It’s a little hour to hour and a half seminar I present to only five
people at a time, in a coffee shop.And since the word starts with
the letter, F, it’s totally free to you. 

We’ll get together at a Paradise Bakery, Starbucks or even
McDonalds and I will give you material that could cost you a
thousand dollars or more if you went to the seminar gurus
around the country today.  And we will have a ball doing it.

I’m about to schedule my first in a series of funnimars.  It’s
called, How To Write and Publish Your Book in 12 Days or
Less, Even if You Don’t Own a Pencil.

(The Book) This is my first book.  It came out on Amazon about five
weeks ago.  It’s titled, How to Succeed at Anything.  It’s about
the information marketing business.  In this first funnimar,
I’m going to show you how I created the first electronic file of
the book withouttouching my keyboard.  I did it with this ebay,
$1 microphone plugged into the front of my laptop.

And I did it in only 3 hours.  And I’m going to show you how
you can improve on my record.

Friend, the internet is changing everything—particularly the
publishing business. 

In the last six month, things have changed so much that a completely
unknown author can write their book,publish it on
Amazon.com and have it listed on the first page of Google
in a matter of only a few weeks—if you follow a system—
my system.

So your call to action today is this.  If you’ve always wanted
to write a book but thought it to be to overwhelming, you need
to fill in the Funnimar Information section at the bottom of the
handout, tare it off and hand it to me as soon as out meeting is
adorned today.

If you really want to leave a legacy with your speeches, and
are ready to make this kind of radical change, the next move
is yours.  And, yes, it’s all free!

Now let’s get all hooked up.
