The Speaker Profit Formula: Market, Monetize, and Maximize Your Expertise

with David Newman

We all know how to talk, but do you think that you haven’t got the expertise to be a speaker?

David Newman is the author of Do it! Marketing and the founder of the Speaker Profit Formula. He wants to destroy the myths around the Speaking industry including –

‘Do you need to have a bestselling book?’ and ‘Do you need to speak for free?’

David and I talk about getting started as a paid speaker, providing value by solving problems and why the key to success is being niched.

Hello David, I am a 64 year old engineering guy that has taking personal development course on and off for 30+ years. I have a burning desire to become a presenter. I want to share my story/pain and how I overcame my issues, all to help other people with their issues. Q: So where do I start.

Robert – sharing your story does NOT help an audience. Creating content, training, and tools to help them with THEIR urgent, pervasive, expensive problems is the key. Happy to discuss this when you join us LIVE – can you make it today at 2pm US Eastern?

Hi, David! Is there a simple formula to follow in order to get booked for live speaking engagement, even if you’ve never done public (from a platform) speaking before?

Yes as a matter of fact there is, but the real question is WHY would they want to hire you? You need to be positioned, packaged and promoted correctly in order to get their attention – and then to get paid :o) We can certainly discuss this live later on today!
