Public Speaking Business Marketing - Self Publishing CDs

Published on 2012-09-06 08:14:00

As a public speaker, it's a great idea to take the availability of your training and offer it to more people than just those who attend your speeches and workshops. You can create a massive amount of 'passive' income (money that rolls in while you sleep) with products that you can sell from a website. Cd's are still a great idea and a viable product for people to buy. Cd's have real perceived value as opposed to MP3 and ebooks. You can produce entire sets of 3 or more to offer a training 'system [..]

If you hear somebody bragging about the amount of “hits” on their site, look a little further.The terms “individual” or “unique” visitors are defined as individuals that have come to your website. “Page views” is defined as the number of pages they actually visited.

Leased Access TVDid you know that you can buy a half hour of air time on a cable station for as little as $15.00? This is not pie in the sky or hocus pocus. This is “leased access” TV.

Public Speaking Skills - Question-and-Answer Sessions

Published on 2012-03-23 09:59:00

Question-and-answer sessions are great opportunities to show off your sense of humor, get audience participation, and make two powerful closings. Did I say two closings? Yes I did say two closings.One of the biggest mistakes I see presenters making has to do with the handling of question-and-answer sessions. The presenter does a good program, has a powerful close, opens the program up to questions, answers them well, and then fades off the stage into oblivion. The lack of a second powerful close [..]

Public Speaking Seating Tips and Tricks

Published on 2012-03-19 08:40:00

Seating Tips:People prefer to sit by aisles. Avoid chairs next to walls. Audience members will feel trapped.Aisles should get bigger as they get nearer the exits because they must accommodate more people. Seat for least distraction and best focus on presentation. Turn off wall sconces behind the presentation. Set away from open windows, clocks, and entry doors. Even after you have pre-set the seats perfectly, suggest to audience members, that they adjust their seati [..]

You don't want them to compete with you for attention.Decide early what percentage of your presentation will be based on visuals.

PREPARING FOR INTERNATIONAL PRESENTATIONS: The Humor Perspective

Published on 2012-03-09 08:44:00

When presenting to foreign audiences you must check your humor carefully so you don't accidentally offend someone. In some countries you may hear people openly joking on television about subjects that would be taboo in the U.S. That doesn't mean you can attempt to joke about the same subjects in your presentation.Even if your humor is OK, you need to become familiar with other customs in the country in which you are presenting. Customs are quite different around the world. It is easy to make mis [..]

Public Speaking - Numbers

Published on 2012-02-29 08:07:00

Most businesses have numerous uses for numbers, both written and oral. Again, some numbers are funnier and more interesting than others. A number like zero has other names that are funny that aren't even numbers.Goose egg, nada, nil, zip and zilch are all funny ways to express the number zero. Even zero is funnier than the word none. Although none is funny when you talk about the two chances of a hostile takeover as slim and none. A hundred dollar bill is a C-Note, a five-dollar bill is a fin. I [..]

Public Speaking - Remove the Lectern

Published on 2012-02-24 08:35:00

To get started in your efforts to involve the audience I recommend that you take a big axe with you to each one of your presentations and chop the lectern into tiny little pieces. That way you won't be tempted to stand behind it. The behind-the lectern speaker is quickly going the way of the dinosaur.Make every attempt possible to avoid delivering your information from behind a lectern (unless protocol and/or logistics absolutely demand that you do). To be most effective, you want to eliminate a [..]

Public Speaking: Room Blackouts

Published on 2012-02-15 08:24:00

If you want to make a spectacular impression on a low budget, room blackouts are a great technique.I use them in two ways.1. If I want the audience to concentrate on a recorded audio tape and2. when I want an awesome closing.Let's say I wanted the audience to listen to a recording of the speech where John Fitzgerald Kennedy said "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." Or maybe the "I have a dream" speech by Martin Luther King would be appropriate. I woul [..]

Edward T. Hall, the noted social anthropologist, claims 60 percent of all communication is nonverbal. Communication analyst Albert Mehrabian says we are perceived in three ways: 7 percent verbally, 38 percent vocally, and a full 55 percent visually, including gestures, posture, stride, facial expressions, movement, dress, and eye contact. These guys undoubtedly know more about it than I do. What I want you to learn is that gestures and body language can be used to help tell your story without us [..]

Presenation Tips - Ethnic Expressions Are Funny Only If You Are Ethnic

Published on 2012-02-06 10:21:00

Another well-known humorist, Doc Blakely, does a dialect bit that has been very successful, but he is extremely good at it. When using dialects, if you are not good at the particular dialect, it appears you are mocking the ethnic group to which it belongs.There are lots of funny ethnic sayings and words. Try to resist using them unless you are making fun of your own background. In a business setting, it is much too risky to joke about another person's race, religion, or dialect.If you are Polish [..]

Some type of system of organizing all this material is essential to efficient preparation.A file and cross-reference system will help you keep track of your material.

The size of your audience has a direct effect on the types of humor which are most appropriate, the expected audience response and the timing of the presentation.Members of very small business groups tend to be too self-conscious to laugh much. Use short one-liners. Be brief and informal with your humor; don't use any long stories or jokes.In small groups laughter will come more quickly. It's now OK to stretch to jokes and short stories.
