About the Book
Are you looking to market your expertise? If you published a book or want to build your brand, public speaking works.
But you've sat through too many presentations where the speaker did not deliver on the title's promise. Or the speaker might have had great content, but you could barely stay awake to hear it. Worse, the speaker promised a great session but didn't manage their time for the content and questions.
No wonder so many people get nervous or fear public speaking.
You can reframe how you speak so you can succeed and deliver what the audience needs.
You can design and deliver a presentation that educates, informs, and inspires your audience. That design can help you turn your fear or nervousness into excitement and authenticity. Your excitement about your topic means you offer value. You don't have to "sell." Instead, your ideal audience will sell themselves on the value you offer.
You will learn:
* How to create and use stories to help people care about your topic and the value you offer.
* How to separate the design, delivery, and practice for each presentation.
* How to use activities to help your audience prove to themselves that your content works.
* How effective speaking will advance your career and clarify your ideas.
* When to speak for free and when to ask for a fee.
* And much more.
You can become an effective public speaker with content marketing. That's how you can educate, inform, and inspire people to change. They'll buy your books, products, and services--and tell other people about you.
Buy this book now and enjoy your public speaking journey while marketing your expertise.
