5. Develop a web site! This today is a critical element of your marketing strategy. When your byline appears in articles, make it easy for people interested in your topic to contact you online!

Create titles that will get the immediate attention of buyers, audience and list them on your web! Add voice .wav file to your intro and if you can a short video of you in action.

6. Product Marketing - It has been proven that product sales from your speaking engagements will bring in the money. Many professional speakers will tell you that their major source of income, upwards of 60%, comes from after market products offered on their web site. CD’s, DVD’s, ebooks, etc. Many people cannot make it to seminars but they will purchase your seminars via the aforementioned media.

Marketing yourself is not easy and can get costly, but weigh the alternative, no marketing no business. Follow the ABC Rule, “Always Be Closing!” Finally, remember you are a walking billboard, how you present yourself will reflect on your business.
