INCREASE YOUR SPEAKING INCOME IN TROUBLED TIMES
Due to the alerts being announced in the media, we thought you might like
some ideas on ways to continue and increase your speaking income. Many are
afraid to travel these days so here are 2 simple ways to increase your income
from your own home!
TELEPHONE SEMINARS
Offer a telephone seminar on your subject. Promote it via out e-mail state
your subject, benefits, content, costs and time the program is offered. Set up a
"telephone bridge" so that each attendee will be able call a central
number to participate and interact with the other attendees we use A+
Conferencing (888) 239-3969 but there are many to choose from. We offer a 2-hour
phone seminar every other month program, the questions and the answers. We also
E-mail each attendee a set of handouts via E-mail as a PDF document for this
program. The advantage of working via phone is that the attendees do not have to
travel, or deal with long lines at the airports, and can have more time at home
with their families (these advantages apply to the speaker as well). Some
speakers offer Telephone Seminars as a single stand-alone program, while others
offer a weekly or monthly set of programs for a higher rate. We charge $150. for
our 2 hour program. We run from 10 attendees to 25. Our comments from
attendees are excellent.
CONSULTING
Offer your Consulting services to your clients one-on-one via phone. The
difference between a seminar for a group and one-on-one consultations is that
your consulting client can benefit from your expertise one on one which creates
a much more powerful experience for them and their career and business. Because
of this you are able to command higher fees and have the benefit of not leaving
your home. You can also offer a consulting roundtable via phone to corporate
clients you have spoken for. One speaker we know offers a set of weekly 1 hr.
phone sessions for the corporation's managers.
Each company sets up a private weekly session for their management team and the
speaker is able to charge up to $6,000.00 per series.
