Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: How Entrepreneurs Can Increase Their Income by Public Speaking.
[1:15] – Odell shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- Proximity is the ultimate cheat code. If you hang around successful people long enough, it’s going to happen.
[2:11] – Public speaking as the greatest marketing medium in the world.
- We respond the best to a human voice; something that sounds like it knows what it’s talking about.
- Nothing’s better than public speaking in terms of marketing. It can only improve other means of marketing.
[3:50] – What about shy, introverted entrepreneurs… Can they also double their income with public speaking?
- Being shy and being introverted is different.
- First type of public speaking is platform speaking. It is the most well-known.
- Second type of public speaking is teaching, breaking down ideas and concepts brought about in a keynote, into a how-to.
- Interviews is another platform of public speaking.
- Hosting is another form of public speaking. It’s where you’re at an event, facilitating an experience.
- If you’re shy, what you have to do is assemble your ideal clients in a fashion where they want to buy, then you can use public speaking and double your revenue.
[8:02] – Strategies or hacks people can use to overcome fear in public speaking.
- Talk about what you know to people who don’t know that thing.
- If somebody’s interested in you, start talking.
[10:09] – A timeout to thank our sponsors, HubSpot and Clay Clark!
[12:30] – How to get paid to advertise through public speaking.
- With public speaking, one way to get paid is to have somebody pay you to speak to their audience.
- Another way to get paid is to use public speaking as a paid advertising model.
[18:06] – Other benefits of public speaking.
- Most people create boring experiences for their clients.
- We don’t forget experiences we’ve had, especially those we’ve never had before.
- Creating an experience that clients can take part in means you’re setting yourself apart from competition, and they remember you because they experience you.
