Speaker tip 3: Create Hi quality Info products

Start Creating Info Products Easily

Step1: Download Audacity and start using it
If you aren’t familiar with audacity, it is a FREE audio recording and editing software that is fabulous and easy to use. It can export your audio to WAV, MP3 and more. My 5 year old can use it, really. I have used others such as Sony Sound Forge and the high cost software offered no additional benefits to me as a speaker. Those apps are most advantageous to the music industry. You can download it at audacity.com
Now that you have the software to record, start recording everything. Record at all your events. Experiment with the software and get the content into your customer’s hands.
Step2: Download Camstudio and start using it
Like Audacity Camstudio is a truly free screen capture software that allows you to create avi video files of any activity on your screen with voice overs.

Step3: Buy a quality USB mic
A quality mic will improve your audio by 100% really. Just the mic will make a huge difference. I recommend the BLUE snowball mic, this is the best for the money studio mic that will stand up to travel so you can take it with you on the road.

Speaker tip 2: Branding for the Economy

Branding is an interesting topic in that every expert has a different take on what does or doesn’t work. However there are three things we know to be true about branding.

1. 
   A good brand is memorable


2. 
   A good brand is relevant


3. 
   A good brand is consistent

As a speaker memorable is critical; and there are three easy ways you can make yourself memorable.

Be provocative; be bold with your message.

Be attractive; be bold with your appearance. Of course you should always match your appearance to the audience expectations. Showing up to a meeting of attorneys in a clown costume would be very risky.

Always leave something behind. Resources you can give to the audience keeps you in front of them long after the event is over. I have a template for a great business card alternative. Send an email to charles@charlesspeaks.com with card template in the subject to request it.

Without question, in this economy relevance is the most important brand element you can develop. You marketing materials, presentations and products must be content rich. When the budget is tight decision makers are less inclined to spend on entertainment. They expect at the very least EDUtainment with capital EDU.

One last point to remember is that consistency and congruency are synonymous. Talk quality, dress quality, deliver quality.

1 of three tips for public speakers

Tip 1: Brand yourself as an expert by writing.

Writing is a powerful second expression for the speaker. When you speak you can sell everything you write. Sign it and they will love you for it.

Writing raises your expert status fast and considerably. While a perfect bound book is a MUST for every speaker, you can easily become published in periodicals and on websites.

Every time your article with your name attached gets published at another website your website rankings at Google improve.

When someone searches for me online and finds my content at other websites they feel I must be valuable

Would You Like to have 3 More Leisure Days a Year?

What is you could find just 3 extra 8 hour days per year?

What would that be worth?

What would you do with those days?

What if I told you that by simply saving 5 minutes a day you could have 3 days a year to do with as you please? It’s true. If you could just find ways to save only five minutes a day.

If you could reduce the time you spend in email by 5 minutes a day that would total 3 extra days a year.

If you could reduce the time spent on clutter by just 5 minutes a day that equals three days a year.

What if you could save 10 minutes a day? Now we’re talking about nearly a week of free time.

You see, we think of our productivity and we feel we have to move heaven and earth to make a significant change in our lives.

That simply isn’t true. Just a few minutes a day means making it home in time for dinner with the family, or making that soccer game. A few minutes could be used to stop by the store for that gift that tells your spouse you still care.

I show my clients every day how to reduce wasted effort and how to increase effectiveness with the tools they already have.

I want to hear from you. There are three things I want to hear about.

1. What is one personal discipline that can help me save time?

2. What is one power tool that will help me save time? (i.e.. software or software tip)

3. What is one resource that can help me save time?

Of course, I'll be sharing my ideas as well. Let's grow together. Oh, and make sure you're follwong me on twitter. I'll share ideas there first and in detail here.
