It's fairly easy to earn $100,000.00 or more per year as a professional
speaker if you know how.
"Why Some
Professional Speakers Earn More in 1 Hour
Than the Average American Earns All
Year"
Is a speaking career for you?
by
Wendy Keller,
Award-Winning Journalist, Author of 26 Published Books,
Professional Speaker, and Founder of ForthWrite Literary Agency and Speakers
Bureau
The U.S. Census reports that the average American earned
$22,794 in 2002. By contrast, one of my clients, Larry
Chase, recently earned $25,000 for a single speaking engagement.
Now, let's get real, shall we? Not all professional speakers earn
that much per speech. Let's take a look at the average statistics.
FACT: 61.6%
of professional speakers earn $3,000 to $10,000 per speaking
engagement, with the median group (22.9%) earning $3,000 to $5,000.
46.7% of speakers earn $76,000 to $1 million per year.
(Source: National
Speakers Association Survey 2003) |
Now, does that sound more like your ballpark? Do you
think you have the potential to be among the 61.6% that earn $3,000 to $10,000 per
gig?
Listen closely. After you learn what I'm about to teach you, you won't
have any excuse not to! Professional speakers earn obscene
incomes -- why shouldn't you be one of them?
Go ahead and do the math. If you earned the low average of $4,000 per
speech -- and you had just 1 speaking engagement a week -- your earnings would
amount to
$208,000 a year. Or, if you're like me, who's busy running 3
businesses, and you're only able to speak 40 times a year, that still adds up to
$160,000 in extra income for you. Do you think you can live with
that?
"But can I really get booked that many times a year?" you ask.
The National Speakers Association (NSA) 2003 Survey shows that 47.8% of
speakers had 21 to 50 paid speaking engagements last year, and 29.5%
had 51 to 200 gigs. Again, after you learn everything I'm about to
teach you, you'll have as many speaking engagements as you want. Then, you
can speak as much -- or as little -- as you want, depending on how much you want
to earn, or how much time you want to free up for the things that are important
to you.
So I urge you to read every word of this article because if you're
excited by what you've
read so far, wait 'til I show you how you can learn how to achieve those kinds
of earnings
in just one day. Yes, you heard right -- one day.
Seven-and-a-half (7½ hours), to be exact.
Who's Looking to Hire You as a Speaker?
The speaking market is wide open. Corporations, associations,
educational institutions, non-profit organizations, government agencies, the
health care industry, public seminar companies, service clubs and religious
organizations are always looking for speakers on a diverse array of topics.
And they're willing to pay top dollar.
It doesn't matter whether or not you have speaking experience, or whether or not
you're an expert on a particular topic. Your particular experience, skill
set, life story, hobby -- even your ethnic background -- can be transformed into
speaking topics for specific target audiences out there.
Be prepared to feel the thrill that comes
from throngs of people waiting to thank you for sharing your knowledge with them
-- and sometimes, for changing their lives. And don't be surprised when
people tell you -- sometimes months or even years after they've heard you speak
-- that you've made a dramatic difference in their lives. I can
tell you from first-hand experience that very few things in this world can top
that fringe benefit!
Tax-Deductible Vacations All Year Long
Many meetings, conventions or conferences where you'll be invited to speak are
often held at beautiful resorts or exotic destinations. More
often than not, your travel expenses are also paid for -- but the good news is
that whatever part of the expenses you pay out of your pocket is tax-deductible.
It's your cost of doing business.
Can you see yourself enjoying your life now?
Imagine jetting off to some island paradise and sipping cocktails on the beach
under shady palm trees -- all compliments of Uncle Sam! And the best part
is that your speaking engagement will probably take you only an hour or two --
and then you have the rest of the day to see the sights or explore the island.
No, it's not a dream. This could actually be your lifestyle when you put
your speaking career on the fast track.
Learn the Speaking Biz the Easy Way or the Hard Way
-- Your Choice
There are many ways for you to learn the speaking business. You can read a
book about it. You can even buy a course on CD or DVD. Yes, there
are many available teaching tools out there.
But here's a fair
warning: There is no guarantee that you will succeed if you simply
learn general concepts, the mechanics of professional speaking, and the
traditional marketing approaches that books and courses give you.
"Would you rather have
someone tell you what to do or have someone show you how to do
something
the right way?"
There is only one surefire way
that you can learn how to become a highly paid professional speaker.
When you do this, you simply cannot fail. Get a master
speaker with many years of successful speaking experience show
you how to do it -- and make sure you do it right. |
My name is Wendy Keller.
I am the founder of ForthWrite Literary Agency -- and I represent many
best-selling and celebrity authors, many of whom have also pursued highly paid
speaking careers.
Can I let you in on a little secret? Most of them have made more money
from their speaking engagements than from selling their books.
I, too, am an author of 26 published books, and I average 30 to 40 speaking
engagements a year --
whenever I find the time. I've even had very high-profile speaking
appearances on Dateline NBC, Politically Incorrect, and many other TV shows
including CBS, Fox, NBC and ABC. I also own a Speakers Bureau, which books
speakers all over the country.
With over 14 years of experience, I don't have to convince you that I possess
inside information about the speaking biz that not too many people are privy
to. On Saturday, October 18, 2003, I'm holding a first-of-its-kind
workshop wherein I reveal secrets you'll never hear anywhere else -- and wherein
I take you by the hand and show you step-by-step exactly how to become a
highly paid speaker.
I'll use a unique hands-on teaching method to make sure you do it
right your first time out. I'll slash your learning curve so that you
won't have to go through years of trial and error -- and dismal earnings.
You'll come out of the gate running and you'll start earning the big bucks in no
time. That's a promise.
So grab a pen and paper and write this down in your calendar now:
The ForthWrite Speakers Bureau

Obviously, on the basis of the spellbinding
content I've told you thus far, I'm sure you're all set to attend the
workshop -- but I'm not ready to let you sign up just yet until you
recognize the full value of it.
In addition to the secrets I'll be revealing to you in 7½ action-packed hours, at the end
of the Saturday, I won't just allow you go out in the wilderness to fend for yourself.
I'm here for you. Here's what
I'm willing to do:
Professional Editing of Your One-Sheet and Testimonial Letters
($300 Value)
One of the biggest stumbling blocks to a speaker's success is having a speaker's
"one-sheet" that is ineffective. Your one-sheet is your critically
important "calling card" as a speaker -- and it can spell the difference between
you getting booked or not. You need a professional to review your
one-sheet and give you an honest critique. So when you're done writing
your one-sheet,
send it to me, and Ill personally review it word by word -- and even edit it so
that it is no less than perfect when I'm done with it. I'll also review and
edit your testimonial letters. My usual fee for this service is $300, but
it's your absolutely free!
Private Consultations with Me -- Personally! ($312 Value)
After you complete the one-day workshop, you're entitled to two 15-minute
private consultations with me that you can use anytime.
When you need expert advice on your topic, your next
speaking engagement, or any aspect of your speaking career, I'll give you
personalized attention and answer any questions you might have. My
consulting rate is $625 per hour -- therefore, these 2 consultations are worth
$312.00 -- but again, they're yours absolutely free.
But that's not all. At the end of the
workshop, you'll walk away with the following tools and resources that are
absolutely essential in a speaker's arsenal:
- A full set of my exclusive program
titled, "Secrets of a Successful Seminar Program," which includes:
*
2 full-length videos ($49 Value) featuring the absolute best ways to plan,
promote and
conduct seminars with multiple earning opportunities
* Sample forms for
speakers, sample contracts, sample cover letters,
sample speaker
demo CD, and tips for obtaining excellent testimonials
* My Special Report titled, "How to Start a
Successful Seminar Business" ($20 Value)
- A copy of each of the 3
must-have books for speakers: ($75 Value)
"Speak and Grow Rich" - by Dottie Walters
"1001 Ways to Market Your Book" - by John Kremer
"Creative Negotiating" - by Stephen Kozicki
Special Guest Appearance
At the workshop, you're also in for a special treat. Maria
Veloso, who is widely acknowledged as the leading expert on web copywriting,
and the most highly paid female copywriter in the U.S., has agreed to make a rare 30-minute appearance at
the workshop as a special favor to me. Maria is the author of "Web
Copy That Sells: The Revolutionary Formula for Writing Killer Copy Every Time"
-- and she's helped her clients sell millions of dollars' worth of products and
services both online and offline. She'll show you how to
write compelling copy for your speaker's package and your website.
She'll also show you how to use the power of words to sell any product or
service on or off the Web.
So there you have it.
Your TURN-KEY BUSINESS that enables you to
get started
as early as Monday morning, October 20th...
When you attend my Workshop for
Professional Speakers, you will have in your possession the only thing you'll need to
generate unstoppable earnings as a speaker. You'll have a turn-key business with
all the know-how, resources, forms, and confidence you'll ever need. And you'll walk away with
a blueprint for your speaking career customized to your particular skills and
your message.
How Much Is All This Worth to You?
What is the value of being personally mentored by an
expert on public speaking? How would becoming a professional speaker increase your life in dollars and cents? By how much will it
improve your life altogether?
When you consider that a single speaking
engagement can earn you $3,000 to $5,000 -- how much would your speaking
business earn you per month -- or per year? What price can you put on
learning how to get as many bookings as you can handle?
$25,000? $15,000? $10,000? (Believe it or not, that's how much
other speaker trainers charge!)
If you paid me my standard consulting fee of $625/hour for the 7½ hours I'm
giving you on October 18, it would cost you $4,687.50.
Would you believe it if I told you the workshop won't even cost you $4,000?
No, not even $3,000. Your investment in your speaking career -- and
your life -- is only....
$1,595.
You'll make at least twice that much on your first paid gig.
And when you consider the value of the free bonuses that you'll be getting ($756
Value), you simply can't lose!
So now I have only one more question to ask you:
When Do You Want to Put Your
Speaking Career on the Fast Track?
I can assure you there is no better time than
right now
-- because each day you delay means lost income to the tune of thousands
of dollars. Because seating is limited,
the moment I reach the preferred number of attendees, I cannot admit any more.
I'm sorry but there are no exceptions. I need to maintain personal
interaction with every workshop attendee, and therefore, will allow only as many
as I can comfortably accommodate in an interactive setting.
I've groomed some of the hottest
careers in the speaking industry -- and I can do the same for you.
Remember, this opportunity may never come your way again. So
register
today.
