James Malchinak has created the ultimate guide to college and youth speaking through Big Money Speaker. Not only does he effectively explain what the college and youth market wants, but also the business of public speaking, how to market yourself effectively and what you should do at every presentation to generate more sales.

James Malchinak has delivered over 2200 motivational presentations worldwide, mainly to youth and college audiences. His youth and enthusiasm means that his audiences are always entertained and involved in all of his speeches, and has earned him the accolade of "America's Hottest Young Speaker". He has authored eight books including Success Starts With Attitude, Teenagers Tips for Success and How to Be a Master Networker and is a contributing author to the popular book series, Chicken Soup for the Soul.

What you will get is targeted information in two separate areas, how to become a youth speaker and how to become a big money speaker. The site has over 100 hours of audio files in twelve separate areas, which you can download and listen to at any time, plus you also get handouts which you can print off and fill in as you listen to the mp3s. You also have access to a members' only forum, where you can exchange ideas about public speaking.

Personally, I believe that this site would be better if it was a one off fee, rather than a membership site. At $47 a month it is a bit expensive, considering that if you are a member for a year you would pay nearly $600. I don't think there is enough information added to the site on a regular basis, therefore there is very little point on continuing your membership for an extended period of time. However, one bonus is that they do offer a 30 day trial membership for only $1, which is an offer definitely worth taking up on.

The information that is provided on the site is excellent. Undoubtedly, James has extensive experience in youth speaking and the business of speaking, and this comes through in his audio presentations. He also sticks to his niche too and doesn't waste time mentioning irrelevant topics. The support handouts are not spectacular, but they are a handy learning tool. I also love the fact that there is a large amount of audios with other speakers, which adds a lot of value and quality content to the product.

The fact that Big Money Speaker is such a targeted niche means that the product is not for everyone. I highly recommend that every serious public speaker listen to the Millionaire Mindset part of the product, but unless you are a youth speaker or aspire to be one, this product is probably not for you. The majority of the audios (except the telephone calls with other public speakers) are recorded from a live event (which I personally don't have a problem with, but you might), but I feel that there are a couple of issues when they edit the audios. I found that parts are repeated, sentences are cut short and the quality varies dramatically from pretty good to incomprehensible. As I have mentioned, the site is mainly audios, therefore those who prefer to learn with videos or reading have not been accounted for with this site.

This is a very good product, and I concede that I might have been a bit harsh in my review. Whether you are interested in youth and college speaking or not, I would highly recommend that you have a look at the site, take up their $1 trial offer and form your own opinion. This is a must have product for anyone interested in youth speaking and people wanting to learn how to turn their public speaking into a business. However, if you are a newbie or hobby speaker, then I would probably look elsewhere for a better investment.
