Seminar Planning Secrets

What You Get in Niche Seminar Secrets

2011-10-05T11:09:00.000-07:00

You get great value, for a start! I recently took the opportunity to compare my product with two other seminar planning products and found that not only do you get more information in Niche Seminar Secrets, but I have seriously underpriced it.

That means, if I have any sense (and I hope I do by now) I'll relaunch Niche Seminar Secrets in the near future with a smart glossy cover and almost exactly the same content, for nearer £500.

(One of the rival products has just been reduced to a little under £500 for eleven lucky buyers...)

By now you will have guessed that I haven't got around to doing that yet, so you can still get all that information, and more, plus personal mentoring and assistance from me, for a ridiculous $97.

Last Chance to Build Your Seminar Business at This Price

2011-08-03T12:48:00.000-07:00

Dear Entrepreneur

Ifyou're wondering how you can grow a million dollar business of any kind in these difficult times of lay-offs and foreclosures, you’re about to find out. Not that you have to aim for a million dollars ...

... but you can create a million dollar business in this way. And you can also use this system to grow any existing business you might have!

"You Can Rapidly Move your situation and business results from stagnation to stunning growth in these tough economic times."
Jay Abraham

Why the economic crisis could be great news for you

Because of all the doom and gloom, this is a business that's growing and growing!

You've heard before that more millionaires were created during the great depression than at any other period in history. Whether that's really true or not, you DO have a fantastic opportunity, right here, to create your own million-dollar business. And you'll do it by working smarter, not harder!

But if you're thinking this is just another 'opportunity', think again, because:

This is not new

It's not revolutionary

It's not instant (sorry)

It's not difficult

It's not expensive to start

It's not illegal or unethical in any way, shape or form!

Which all means you can be sure that it is:

Proven
Established
Durable
Easy to learn
Very affordable
Totally respectable and above board

And best of all, it is:

Very rewarding

Exactly what people want right now!

And remember:

"When you give enough people what they want they'll give you exactly what you want"

So what do people want right now and how can you offer it to enough of them so you get rewarded too?

People are increasingly nervous about the future, especially if they're near retirement, facing unemployment or they saw their savings and investments disappear into the black hole left by the collapse of bank after bank after bank ...

These people want hope, they're looking for answers, they're desperate for a reason to believe in themselves and their futures. They're looking for financial security, opportunities to better themselves, encouragement and spiritual enlightenment. And the best way to give people these things is in person, face to face, in a positive, can-do atmosphere, surrounded by supportive and like-minded people who they can connect and share the experience with.

Thousands of people are flocking to seminars, workshops and conferences. The organisers can barely keep up with demand, but they are getting a handsome reward!

Now, here's how YOU can finally become the provider of hope instead of the seeker and consumer, and ...

... Make Money From Seminars

In fact, you'll have a complete and enduring business when you just follow the easy steps you'll find in Niche Seminar Secrets. The basics are dead simple and all the details are there for you to refer to as often as you want.

"An essential part of your entrepreneurial toolkit" Whatever business you're in, workshops, seminars and conferences are an essential part of your entrepreneurial toolkit! Even in this recession, they'll put you ahead of the competition, and bring in the cash. Not sure where to start? Then read Roy Everitt's Niche Seminar Secrets - his step-by-step manual covers all you need to know to get started. And if you don't fancy getting up on the stage, Roy shows you how to get other people queuing up to be your speakers. Get started with your workshops, seminars and conferences now!	Mark Anastasi

Mark Anastasi www.mark-anastasi.com/milliondollarseminars www.FreeMillionaireMakerDVD.com

Here's a reminder of what you've already discovered about the Niche Seminar Secrets system:

It's a Well-Proven Model

How about Dan Kennedy, Armand Morin, Mark Anastasi, the Stompernet team, Tony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki, T Harv Eker, Russell Brunson, Alex Mandossian, Simon Coulson, Shawn Casey and a hundred others, for example? They all use seminars, workshops and conferences as a key part of their business success. So do thousands of other people you've never even heard of!

It's Been Established for Centuries

Successful people have used public appearances to promote their businesses since before we coined the term 'business'. Scientists, educators and other experts grow and develop their reputations by speaking onstage. Dale Carnegie wasn't the first person to connect public speaking with business, but it's not just the speakers who earn well, and the famous names listed above won't be the last to profit from seminars, workshops and conferences. Could you be the next?

It's Enduring

The seminar and conference business isn't going away any time soon! Even though we now have virtual conferencing, teleseminars and live streaming video, it's public appearances in specially made surroundings, with a chance to network and meet the experts in person, that people enjoy and remember most, and that give them most value. Giving more value brings bigger returns!

It's Really Simple to Learn

It really is simple. And the more systematic you make it, the simpler it gets. That's why I sometimes call this the Niche Seminar System - follow the system and you can't go wrong. With my help, you'll find the seminar business is easy to learn, straight out of the box. Niche Seminar Secrets covers everything you'll ever need to know, complete with checklists and real-life examples, and all explained in a way that anyone can understand and apply. And if you still have questions, you can always email me and I'll be glad to help.

It's Easily Affordable

Sure, you'll see business 'opportunities' for a little less upfront. But an opportunity isn't the same as a real business and you won't find many real businesses you can get started in at this price - or anywhere near it! I can't give Niche Seminar Secrets away, but I did think long and hard about the situation you might be in right now when I set the price as low as I could.

Even more important than the low price you'll pay me is the amount of money you need to actually start your million-dollar seminar business. The great news is, that's also very small. If you do have some money to invest Niche Seminar Secrets will explain how to get the best return on it - in your marketing budget, for example - but you can get started for very little, and I'll show you how.

It's Totally Respectable

Look again at the list of names above. Anything that people they get into has to be completely on the level - their reputations are too important to take chances with. And your seminar business will be carefully modelled on their 'best practice'. Throughout Niche Seminar Secrets I stress how important and valuable it is to you to treat your customers with complete courtesy and total honesty. Happy customers come back for more!

It's SO Rewarding!

There aren't many things in life more satisfying than helping and teaching people. And now it even pays well! Look once again at that list of famous names. How many do you recognise and are any of them poor? Is Tony Robbins poor? Is Armand Morin? Dan Kennedy? How about Stompernet, are they struggling? No - they've all made a ton of money, and seminars, workshops and conferences helped them do it.

It's What Millions of People Want

People are crying out for answers this year; looking for practical help, reason to hope and the encouragement to take action. Your success can be their encouragement. In other words, they want exactly what you can now offer, without you taking advantage or profiteering but with massive rewards when you offer them a solution to their problem or a cure for their pain - exactly how we'd define the word 'entrepreneur'.

"Give enough people what they want and they'll give you ... exactly what YOU want."

That's why all those people got rich from seminars - they gave ordinary people exactly what they wanted. And they're doing it the same way to this day, because, "if it ain't broke - don't fix it!"

"...fantastic ...a must have for anyone who's thinking about organizing a seminar..." Hi Roy Just a quick note to say thank you for “Niche Seminar Secrets.” What a fantastically timely publication for me. I’m about to organize my first live speaking event and I was feeling overwhelmed by all the things that go into organizing it. I don’t know if you believe in the law of attraction, but I was just starting to think that I need a manual that I could follow step-by-step to set up my upcoming seminars. Two days later, voila here it is. I feel that once you release this manual it will quickly become the bible for seminar organizers. It is fantastic. What I like best about it, other than the checklists of things not to forget and covering all the basis, is the section on what happens when the sh** hits the fan. Inevitably, nothing is ever 100% perfect and I think that section is going to save a lot of conference organizer’s butts. Thanks again. This book is a must have for anyone who’s thinking about organizing a seminar, conference, or any event that demands some serious organization and multi-tasking. Terry :)	Terry Telford

"...a must have ...

an essential part of your entrepreneurial toolkit..."


	Meanwhile, if you already have a business, a few seminars and workshops will give you the power to take that business to a whole new level, because you can now give even more people exactly what they want. Here's the really great thing for you if you have a business already. You can use seminars and workshops to promote your products, your services, your expertise, even yourself, and watch your business just take off. That's any business. Really there isn't a single business, or a single niche that can't benefit from being promoted to more potential customers like this. Even if you don't promote your products and services, you can market your knowledge of the business you're in. How did you build your business, how did you learn the skills? Sell that information - your knowledge is a saleable commodity! What these speakers could be teaching you ... is what I'll be teaching you A lot of the top speakers and marketers are actually selling the story of how they got to be so successful and how other people can do the same. Which is great, because modelling success often brings success. What they could also be teaching you, of course, is how to be up there on the stage selling what you already do! Here's an example for you: Let's say you run a taxi business. Not much opportunity there, you think? Who wants to know about taxis? Wrong question! You run a taxi business. Did you build up the business yourself or did you buy into it? Could you tell me how to do the same? Might you gather up a few people who would like to set up or buy a similar business - not necessarily taxis, but a business of a similar size, with similar resources, costs, etc? If so, you've just created your first workshop. How much might people pay for your experience and know-how? Probably more than you think! And then there are all the other ways to make your workshop pay that you'll discover in Niche Seminar Secrets. And once you've run one workshop, you'll be amazed at the opportunities that come your way!

Or start your million-dollar business from scratch - starting now

And if you don't have a business yet? You can, starting in a few minutes from now.

That's a real, "Go do it, get paid tons" kind of business, not a "One click of your mouse and your computer turns into an ATM" kind of business. There are enough of those kind of businesses already and enough mugs buying into them.

"I couldn't find a question that Niche Seminar Secrets didn't answer!" It's obvious once you look, that all the big names in Internet marketing, investing and property use seminars and workshops to help grow their business. In fact, seminars are a just great way to get you in front of more customers. You can even start a seminar business from scratch, in any niche you can name, and make great money doing it. But if that sounds too hard, Roy Everitt's Niche Seminar Secrets explains everything, step by step. Hard to believe Roy's managed to include everything, but I couldn't find a question that Niche Seminar Secrets didn't answer! I know I'll be adding Niche Seminar Secrets to my entrepreneur toolkit! Chris Freville www.cbinnercircle.com	Chris Freville

Ok, but how much is Niche Seminar Secrets?

Knowledge and information of this quality is almost pricesless - it's certainly worth thousands of dollars. Remember, real people really do make millions of dollars at this - and they're not all geniuses! So, an investment of about one thousandth of what you can make seems fair to me ...

... but I said I'd take the economic circumstances into account, so I'm not going to ask you for thousands of dollars... in fact...

...sigh...

...do you get tired of reading all those sales letters that say, "I should charge you X thousand dollars but you can have it for $7"? I know I do, so let's get straight to the point:

Niche Seminar Secrets will cost you just $97.

There, that's it. Only ninety-seven dollars US.

THIS is the BEST time to invest in yourself!

There are so many opportunities for you right now if you're ready to grab them. And it's time for you to take charge of your future. Who else is going to look after your career, your business, even you? Answer: no one! I'm not just talking about a long-term payback (although that will come too), I'm talking about growing your business and your income in 2010, in this year of all years.

Read through Niche Seminar Secrets at least once before you start!

As I've said, the system is dead simple, but that doesn't mean you can just jump straight in without learning it! The manual won't take long to read and it will save you countless hours of trying to work things out for yourself - and who knows how many dollars in expensive mistakes!

It will take you less than a day to get through Niche Seminar Secrets, or you can take one or two of the twenty-plus chapters a day. Either way, you can be creating your first event in no time, but you should read through the manual at least once before you start.

Why? Because nine-tenths of your success will come down to preparation. A lot of Niche Seminar Secrets is about preparation too, including tons of good advice on marketing and promotion and what you must have in place to make money during and after the event. Miss out these steps and you’ll be leaving a lot of money on the table! As they say, "fail to plan and you plan to fail." At least if you don't plan properly you'll have less success than you deserve.

That doesn't mean you can't get started quickly - you can - but you must do it step by step, the Niche Seminar Secrets way!

Then keep the manual with you as a step by step handbook

For your first few events, you'll need Niche Seminar Secrets beside you as your bible, because you won’t find a situation or question that isn’t covered in its pages. As experienced reviewers have pointed out, it’s all in Niche Seminar Secrets.

Don’t ‘Just Do it’ – Do it RIGHT!

Once you have one event under your belt you'll find they get easier and easier to do. Really, once you know how, staging your own seminar is simple. Once you know how, that is ...

... but a word of warning: a lot of people have tried putting on events, by just ‘having a go’ and making it up as they went along. That’s a very hard way to learn anything – how many million-dollar businesses would you try to do like that, by making it all up out of thin air?

That kind of trial and error is certainly a great way for other people to have really intense (ie, expensive) learning experiences, but it’s not my idea of an effective education process for YOU!

Don't try to cut corners by saving 97 dollars!

Even though you will always learn much more by doing something than by only reading about it, you do need to know where to start. That’s why you must start with the years of experience and wisdom contained in Niche Seminar Secrets: it will pay for itself with the first mistake you don’t make.

When your first event is a raging success you'll be glad you learned from my experience!

Because most of those people who went ahead and ‘just did it’ have lost money, failed to build a real business or promote the business they already had, they've probably given up on seminars and workshops by now.

You, on the other hand, will ‘do it right’, will make a lot more money, build the business and get all the new customers you want, and you'll discover that 'events' are one of the best ways to improve your business, your income and the rest of your life.

You’ll learn about much more than how to run an event

You’ll learn so much more than just how to run one event. In Niche Seminar Secrets you’ll discover how to use your events to promote your existing business and you, and how to position yourself uniquely and put any expertise you have to better use than you do now – so it earns you maybe ten times more than you can make today.

I have experience in a lot of areas other than seminars, so you’ll discover how top marketers, coaches and trainers leverage their knowledge with seminars and conferences to massively increase their income, and how you will do the same.

I’ll teach you everything you need to know. Armed with this knowledge you will easily create for yourself the the dream lifestyle you always hoped for. Grow the business you have or simply create your dream business from scratch, starting today.

"Find money in your budget - you will not regret it" If you are thinking about using Seminars as an income stream then this book in my opinion is the Bible that you will need to follow to be successful. In short, it is a comprehensive, well researched, easy to follow and understand step by step guide to achieving a successful Seminar at what ever level you are aiming at! Find money in your budget - you will not regret it.

Paul Conway www.trafficgoldrush.com

What else Niche Seminar Secrets will teach you

I'll give you everything you need to know in Niche Seminar Secrets, including:

How to find a niche you can thrive in
How to make an existing business the subject for a workshop or seminar
How to find or build lists of interested prospects
Why some lists might be worthless
How to find speakers and why they'll be eager to 'help out' for nothing
How to choose the best speakers on any topic
How to find a perfect venue
How to get the best deal
How to fill your venue with eager delegates
How to turn those delegates into hungry buyers
Why 'the money is in the list'

How your event can make you money for years after you staged it
How you'll become a highly-paid 'expert', even if you know nothing about a subject
Best of all, how you can build a million-dollar business on the back of just a few events

Every question you could ever ask is answered in Niche Seminar Secrets!

In fact, in NIche Seminar Secrets, you'll find the answer to every question you could ever ask, from how to become a great speaker (and even whether you should) to how to negotiate with hotels and how to decide your ticket prices.

And remember, if you really can't find the answer in Niche Seminar Secrets, I'm just an email away!

I've made the whole process dead easy. The 'secret' in Niche Seminar Secrets, is to keep it simple!

As I said, those 'big names' I listed at the opening of this letter are not all geniuses. And others who've been equally successful have also quietly followed exactly the same formula.

"Roy, you've covered everything" I've been in this business for longer than I'd like to admit... Believe me, Roy, when I say that I think you've covered everything. As you know, there's a lot goes on behind the scenes that we hope the guests don't see, but it's all in your manual. As Shakespeare said, "The play's the thing!" As long as they have your Niche Seminar Secrets and a bit of common sense, I know that even a complete beginner can now put on a professional event.	Ray Teret & friends

The more you follow the system, the more successful you'll be

Which means you don't have to be very inventive or very clever. In fact, the more faithfully you follow the system I've laid down, the more successful you'll be. Just keep it simple, then rinse and repeat.

You're not going to be a pioneer. But pioneers are the folks with the arrows in their backs! No, you'll be following a tried and tested system, because you can be sure it works.

Of course, Niche Seminar Secrets is fully guaranteed

Now, I'm not going to promise you a million dollars in the bank by the end of the year, but I can promise you you'll be on the way to a million-dollar business when you follow the system in Niche Seminar Secrets and take action.

That's down to you - I've done my part!

Just one question to ask yourself

The only question you need ask yourself now is, "Do I want to own a real business or am I going to keep chasing 'opportunities' like thousands of others?"

Those opportunities could cost you thousands of dollars in hard cash, endless wasted time (which you can never get back) and the slow and steady erosion of your hopes and dreams...

What you have in your grasp today is a real business.

The real business you have with Niche Seminar Secrets will cost you $97

... and you can have it just minutes from now

At this moment, the choice is yours. You can carry on being an 'opportunity seeker' and a consumer of dreams, hope you can hang onto your current job or get a new one, or make a decision now to take control of your destiny. Let me tell you that taking control feels so much better than the other 'choices'!

In fact, I don't think they're really choices at all. This is your big chance - a real opportunity to shape your own destiny, but you need to seize it now, while the demand for seminars is rising so fast you can only succeed when you do it right. Please don't let this chance slip away...

Seize the day!

Sincerely, and in prosperity

Roy Everitt

PS. When I was creating Niche Seminar Secrets I made sure I added to my own personal experience by intensive research into how other people ran their events.

That way, I could pick out the 'best practise' from them all ... and I expected to find a hundred and one different systems. But I was wrong - every successful seminar producer, every coach and trainer, every Internet marketer who was using seminars in their business followed almost exactly the same system. They weren't following a manual, because there wasn't one! They were following the system that has been proven to work time after time, year after year. The very same system you'll follow in Niche Seminar Secrets.

So don't try to second guess it. Follow the Niche Seminar Secrets system and, just like them, you will succeed!

The ONE Big Secret

2010-11-03T07:21:00.000-07:00

I've spoken about this before, and I'm not the only one because it's the biggest issue most people face when they stage an event.

Which is not the same as saying it's the first thing everyone thinks of, but it probably should be.

You see, when everything else is settled, including the choice of venue, the hot topic, the date, the technology and even your nerves, the final piece in the jigsaw is the big one...

WILL ANYONE TURN UP?

Well, not if you haven't sold any seats, they won't. So how do you sell them?

I posted here once about 14 ways to fill your event. Don't look now because I've deleted it (although it's in Niche Seminar Secrets). Of all the fourteen ways, one common factor marked out the best of them ... joint ventures.

Yep. The easiest way to fill an event is to get someone else to do it for you. Or several people.

Joint venture partners can be your guest speaker(s), especially the ones with pulling power. Or you can be joint hosts or promotors with a partner, especially those with big, responsive lists and the respect of their members.

Your speakers want to sell tickets and present to their own followers, fans and customers. They know they'll get a good reception and probably make more sales when they do. Because they have this following they can often sell more tickets than you can.

Equally, a joint promoter will want 'their' event to be a success, especially if it's making them money, too. We like to JV with our Chamber of Commerce for local events because they're even better known than we are, are repected by their members and will profit from the event.

What both groups have in common, then, are big lists and plenty of authority. You can spend a lot of money on marketing and advertising trying to get to where they are...

...but sharing the promoting burden and the proceeds with a partner is a much faster way to get there!

Multiple Streams of Income

2009-06-10T02:53:00.000-07:00

Hello again

As a companion to Ron Holland's Multiple Streams of Income Workshop and books, I've just started a blog, 'Ron Hollands Multiple Streams of Income' (Blogger doesn't get apostrophes!).

On the new blog, I'll be posting regular ideas from Ron on business and cash-generating ideas that you can mostly start for 'under a tenner'.

I may just mention his workshop from time to time, too ;-)

The new blog is at http://tinyurl.com/rh-streams and the first
simple business idea is already posted.

Roy

Why is Ron G Holland Richer Than You?

2009-06-06T05:52:00.001-07:00

Answer: because Ron understands about multiple streams of income, and because he takes action on what he knows.

Now Ron Holland wants to teach you all he knows about the Secrets of Multiple Streams of Income, and about taking action.

He also wants to prove to you that you can get rich doing something you love doing - which makes it a lot easier to take action than doing something you don't enjoy.

All he asks for now is one small, decisive action from you to learn about the day that could change your life forever, 11th July 2009, at Marble Arch, London.

Go here to take that first small step to using The Secrets of Multiple Streams of Income to change your life. I'll be there.

The Spellbinding Ron G Holland...

2009-05-22T06:51:00.000-07:00

Ron G Holland was guest speaker on Wednesday night at the North & North West London Ecademy Club.

To quote member Max Alter: 'Never before did we have that many people at a North & North West London Ecademy event. People came form all over, not just N & NW London to hear Ron G. Holland:. Ron spoke for 70 spellbinding minutes, straightforward, down to earth and gave us much more than value for money: 4 steps to activate and reset your bio-computer including 3 necessary elements of goal setting. His talk took us far beyond the territory of goal setting into actually achieving the goals we set. All this will be covered in his forthcoming book "The Eureka Enigma - 7 Keys to Realising Your Dreams."

It was by far the most successful event ever that we held. I can't recommend Ron highly enough for both content and delivery as a speaker.'

You can be in Ron's spellbinding presence for a whole day on 13th June, then have his guidance and advice for a whole year, when you join him at London Heathrow for his Secrets of Multiple Streams of Income intensive workshop.

What Ron G Holland can't teach you isn't worth knowing!

Taking Bookings Online

2009-05-21T07:39:00.000-07:00

While Internet marketers are generally a pretty trusting bunch when it comes to buying goods and services online, using a shopping cart, via Clickbank or PayPal, it's easy to forget that's still not universal.

Some people are still wary of paying for things online, and the people likely to come to your event may not be very Internet-savvy at all. Plus, they may not know you, and could be reluctant to part with their money to a company they've never heard of. You should always try to eiminate reasons why people might not buy!

So it's worth considering using a third party ticket agent, with a professional and secure-looking website, to reassure your customers. One we're using for our next big event is a company called 'Eventbrite', and they offer everything from promotional links to social media sites to ticket printing and a built in affiliate system.

Plus, they look reassuringly professional to your customers.

You can also embed a 'widget' into your own website, like this:

Online Event Registration - Powered by www.eventbrite.com

The event, as you can see, is Ron Holland's Multiple Streams of Income Workshop, on 11th July, and there are still some places left. You can also make yourself some money before the event by signing up as an affiliate!

Ron has been called 'Britain's top business guru' and 'the number one motivational speaker in Britain'. He has also made a lot of people very rich, apart from himself! What Ron doesn't know about multiple streams of income isn't worth knowing - it's what he's built his fortune on, since before he left schoool...

But if you're planning an event of your own, and you're concernead about taking bookings online, consider using Eventbrite.

Six-Figure Weekend Anyone?

2009-05-15T10:57:00.000-07:00

Is it really possible to make six-figures in one weekend?

Well, those are the kind of figures being bandied about by successful speakers and seminar producers these days.

Andy Harrington claims even more, at http://www.publicspeaking-training.com/, while my good friend Mark Anastasi's domain name reveals all, at www.mark-anastasi.com/milliondollarseminars/

And other, more circumspect marketers and speakers have privately told me of six-figure weekends of their own.

So yes, it is possible. How do they do it?

Well, Mark Anastasi talks about the 'Dan Kennedy' model. Others might cite Armand Morin's teaching. Andy Harrington follows the same pattern and emphasises his stage performance as a key factor.

But the truth is, they all follow the same system. And it's one you can learn quickly and use yourself. I call it the 'Niche Seminar System', and it's proved successful with coaches, trainers and people in all kinds of business, not just Internet marketing.

You can discover the entire system and use it to create your own lucrative seminars and workshops, almost regardless of the business you're in or the subject you want to cover. In fact, if you can find a 'niche' where 'Niche Seminar Secrets' really won't make you money, I'll be amazed.

In fact, I'll make it my mission to show you how you CAN apply Niche Seminar Secrets to your niche!

You can get Niche Seminar Secrets here. Six figures for just $197!

Or, there's a digital version of Niche Seminar Secrets, with instant download via Clickbank's secure servers, HERE, for only $97.

Naturally, both versions are guaranteed.

You'll find more tips about using seminars as part of your business, or even as the core of your business, right here at the Seminar Secrets blog.

To your (six-figure) success!

The Secret to Creating Content

2009-03-20T14:33:00.000-07:00

If you think public speaking might be for you, if only you had something to talk about, I've got some great news - you do or you will do.

But first, a genuine seminar secret...

How do you think all those speakers you admire so much got to know so much about their subjects? Answer: they learned about them.

Okay, it's no great shock, but it's an important point all the same.

Add a dose of personal experience, a few new angles and a pithy quote or two and you have a great presentation. By that, I mean a genuinely valuable and entertaining speech.

Now think of yourself as a teacher. How do teachers learn their subjects? From their teachers.

You can do the same, and when you add your own personal experiences - and you will have experiences that add value to your talk - you can be a great seminar speaker, too.

But if there's a subject that interests you, the chances are that you'll know a fair bit about it already. I bet, with some preparation, you could talk about it for an hour or two. If you have any gaps in your knowledge, fill them, but remember you'll almost certainly have too much material to fit into one presentation already.

Add your experiences, seek out some pertinent, pithy quotes (Einstein is always a good bet), and you're there.

Then just add practice, the confidence that comes from competence (that comes from practice), and you'll knock 'em dead.

Go to it!

Roy

PS. The latest edition of Niche Seminar Secrets is now available. Go to Niche Seminar Secrets, HERE.

Because everybody knows something, including you. And whatever subject you know about, you will find people who would like to know about it too.

Ustream and I'll Stream, Too

2009-03-16T05:08:00.000-07:00

Probably the most effective way to get your message out beyond the room is to stream it live.

Ustream offer a live streaming service that's free, looks very simple and is pretty reliable, too.

You can either broadcast on their own Ustream site or you can embed the streaming video into your own website, so viewers have fewer distractions. You can also have a live chatroom for online viewers. The only issue with this is the need to moderate the chat to control spamming and so on.

The Gateway to Wealth Seminar on 13-15 March used Ustream to great effect, getting over 1000 online viewers at one stage, to add to the 150 plus people actually at the event in Atlanta, Georgia.

We were treated to some excellent content, too, and viewers were regularly reminded to promote the event on Twitter and elsewhere - something to remember if you stream your own event live.

It's not clear whether Gateway to Wealth was also being recorded - I suspect there will be a product available soon - but a lot of people watching live were asking if recordings would be available, so the demand was being created there and then.

Demand for your products is always good - especially if you're re-purposing existing content!

But I'd say Ustream, or a similar service, is well worth considering for your events. Especially as it's not just easy, but free, and it increases your reach exponentially.

Why it's Good to Talk

2009-03-03T11:05:00.000-08:00

At Steve Foley's very successful Econfex event at the weekend, I was able to chat with most of the speakers, some of whom have staged their own events already.

One of the subjects that inevitably came up more than once was how to sell enough tickets for a seminar, workshop or training course. In other words, how to get enough people there to make the event financially worthwhile.

It's not something Simon Coulson seems to struggle with, and neither do, say, Andrew Reynolds, Mark Anastasi or Jonathan Jay.

Consequently, their events are definitely worthwhile!

The secret to filling seats?

Well, there's more than one secret, of course, but the thing all those named above share in common is ... they all have access to a huge list, generally their own.

Selling seminar seats is much like selling any other information product, but a bit harder, unless your list is very well targeted. This is because buying a seminar ticket takes much more commitment than just pressing a 'buy now' button.

The take up for free events is much bigger, of course, because people know they don't actually have to go if they haven't paid. They haven't 'lost' anything if the ticket was free.

And, as I explained in Niche Seminar Secrets, that's why free tickets are generally a bad idea. Frankly, ticket 'sales' for a free event bear little relation to the number of people that turn up.

You could plan for a hundred people (and spend accordingly, promise a good-size audience for your speakers and so on) and then only see fifteen or twenty people arrive on the day. Even a nominal ticket price means most people will make the trip, because they'll 'lose' that money if they don't.

Of course, not turning up is their loss, because the networking alone is worth making the effort for. You lose too, because your event is not the event it might have been.

But first, build or find your list, then always put a real cash price on the tickets, even if you offer a big discount.

Attention Seeking For Fun and Profit

2009-02-26T05:43:00.000-08:00

In a recent poll of Oscar-winning actors and actresses, 68 percent said they were 'shy'.*

In a recent survey of professional musicians, 62 percent decribed themselves as 'basically shy'.*

But in a recent poll of Internet marketers, only 54 percent said they were nervous about presenting to an audience.*

And 97 percent of the audience said they couldn't care less anyway.

So, however shy you might think you are, you're probably more confident than, say Angelina Jolie and Bono. Possibly even less shy than, let's say, Sean Roach or Derek Gehl - probably not, but possibly!

So stepping up in front of an audience and telling them all about your business, your product and your service will be like a walk in the park. Especially as 97 percent of your audience are on your side.

You can find out how to present to an audience, how to wow them with your know-how and how to get them to come and listen in the first place, when you take the $17 dollar trial edition of Niche Seminar Secrets.

It's not just for niches. It's not even just for seminars. But it is packed full of secrets.

And, when you decide to upgrade you even get a piece of me. Mentoring, coaching, answering questions - mainly by email but we can use the phone when you get really serious - and I might even speak for you, too.

Worth stepping up for, I'd say.

* Sorry, I made all those figures up. But it's a fact that most actors and musicians describe themselves as shy.

Part-time Job with HUGE Potential

2009-02-14T10:18:00.000-08:00

Do you know what's the biggest advantage of marketing online?

Scaleability.

If you can sell something once, you can usually sell a hundred of the same thing, just by scaling-up your efforts.

Some offline products are scaleable, too. So you can start small or part-time and, once you've cracked the formula once, you just do it 'bigger' next time.

Seminars are a good example. Test the water with a small event first time out, then you'll be confident about stepping up to the next level.

Niche Seminar Secrets is 'scaleable', too. It starts at just One Dollar!

Take the one-dollar trial of Niche Seminar Secrets now.

For that, you get all the information, in a downloadable PDF, for a full thirty days. Only then do you pay the full price, and even that's discounted.

Then I'll send you the manual in all its full-colour printed glory.

So, you can dabble for a dollar, test the water for next to nada, and still dive in at a discount. I'd say it's worth a dollar just to find out if it's your thing!

Get Clients For Free (or even get paid)

2009-02-04T08:27:00.000-08:00

To know how much you should spend to acquire new clients and customers, you need to know how much each customer is worth, over time.

Something that can be difficult to calculate.

If your clients cost you nothing, though, there's no problem. You just want as many of those kind of customers as you can handle!

For a great way to get customers, and especially clients, at no cost to you or even at a profit, there's nothing to beat speaking engagements.

In front of you, when you speak at an event, will be an audience of potential clients and customers, specially selected to be interested in what you offer.

Why else would they be there?

That's why conversion rates from attendees at seminars and workshops to customers and clients can be astronomical - close to 100% in some circumstances - but as they're all costing you nothing, any customers you acquire this way are good news.

Simply give your audience good information to demonstrate your expertise and your generosity, offer your services or product at a special rate or within a special package for 'today only' and see how many customers and clients you can pick up.

Get some practice at other people's events under your belt, especially if you're a bit nervous about the idea, then think about staging your own event. You could even get so good at the events that they earn more than your original business!

More on Selling Seminar Seats

2009-01-29T04:35:00.000-08:00

One of the perennial questions people ask when they're thinking of putting on seminar or workshop events is, 'How can I get people to attend my event?' How, in other words, do you sell seats?

Look at that question another way and some answers might become clear.

Try to remember all the events you've been to, especially any in the same niche (or similar) and ask yourself how you came to hear about them. Think about events you would have liked to attend as well, and ask yourself the same question.

The events you went to were promoted better than those you thought about but resisted, all other things being equal, but they should all give you ideas.

Was it direct mail that persuaded you, or word of mouth, or an email newsletter, or a 'tell a friend' email? Was it a speaker at a previous event, perhaps? Did you spot a small ad and go to a website? Did someone phone you about it?

Whatever method the promoters of those events used clearly worked on you. If the events were a success, those methods must have worked on other people, too.

Apart from direct mail, you need very little cash investment to use some or all of those methods. You can probably think of a few others, too. How about doing an 'ad swap' with someone in the right niche (you promote their product and they promote your event)? Can you ask your local Chamber of Commerce to email their database? You can if you're a member.

Use all your online networking contacts to spread the word, including Ecademy, Facebook, etc, forums and blogs. Be careful to present the most professional image you can whenever you talk or write about your upcoming event. Self-deprecating remarks can undo a lot of self-promotion; no one has to know you're nervous.

Basically, whatever you've seen work for someone else, copy it. Don't be too proud to use something that seems a bit 'tacky' or obvious. Obvious usually works!

Remember, customers (especially seminar customers) are buying into you. When you're more enthusiastic about your company and its products, whatever they are, your customers will be, too.

Answering Another Question From The Survey

2009-01-20T04:42:00.000-08:00

One of my survey respondents wonders how they can rely less on Powerpoint.

('Powerpoint' is the Microsoft program that enables you to create and display slides for your audience. I'm sure there are other programs, but we tend to use the term 'Powerpoint' for all of them).

I think we've all been victims of 'death by Powerpoint' and I can understand how you want to avoid inflicting that fate on your audience!

But we've all been to lectures and presentations where the slides have added a lot of useful, even essential information. I think there are a few rules we can try to keep to, but I am aware that circumstances will vary a great deal.

Anway, assuming you'll be using some slides, here goes:

1 Only use slides that actually add something to your spoken words. Don't just use the slides as the text of your presentation.

2 Keep your slides brief and pithy - in other words, they must be quickly understandable and make a memorable point.

3 You can use slides to highlight any quotes, key phrases, website addresses or other points you want your audience to write down. Then you can move on while the slower writers make their notes.

4 Use a consistent design for your slides, including the colour scheme, a simple font, etc, and don't try to be clever. You need your audience to be able to take in the content of each slide at a glance and then return their attention to you.

5 On which point, don't try to use your slides to divert attention from you! If you're going to put on a slide show you shouldn't be on the stage at all.

6 When you want the audience's attention (ie, most of the time) make sure any slide that's showing isn't a distraction. A blank screen looks accidental, but a simple logo or company name looks far more professional, especially if you're recording the event on video.

7 Be the most engaging, entertaining and dynamic speaker you can be, with your content pitched at a level your audience can grasp (but not necessarily remember in detail) and you'll hardly need any slides at all. Naturally, some subjects will be more complex, but they'll mostly atract a more intelligent audience anyway. If you feel your subject is bound to be above the level of many in the audience, be sure to pepper your presentation with enough 'amazing' facts to keep them entertained as well.

8 Why not practise in front of an honest critic, without slides, and see what he or she thinks of it. At any points where they feel 'lost' or need some information you can't convey clearly in your spoken presentation, consider using a slide. You might be amazed by how few you need.

If you have any thoughts on this or any other subject I'd be delighted to get your feedback, via the comments below or by email.

Answering a Question You Didn't Ask

2009-01-15T03:40:00.001-08:00

How do I overcome 'pitchfest phobia'?

Note: these articles are supplementary to Niche Seminar Secrets, available for a 30-day trial for just one dollar, HERE.

I'm sure we've all been to events where at least one of the speakers did little more than pitch their product or service, where the information you got was all about them and their company.

Equally, I know some excellent 'teachers' who tell you loads of what you need to know and don't manage to sell a thing. That's great for you when you're a delegate but not so good when you have your seminar promoter's hat on.

Most experienced speakers will get it about right, of course. Natural selection will see to that. Meaning, you don't get to gain experience if you don't get the gigs because you don't sell anything...

I usually suggest about 80-85% good, unbiased content to about 15% or so spent promoting yourself and your product. Delegates mostly see that as acceptable. So about ten minutes out of every hour can be 'pitch'.

You might still get some resistance, of course. What you don't want is people spreading the word that your event was just a 'pitch fest', especially when it wasn't. So here's a way to get your delegates to look at it (and the sharper ones will see it this way, anyway)...

...it's all part of the education process.

Learning how to pitch is as important as anything else in business, and seeing someone do it right is an education in itself. Actually, seeing people get it badly wrong is even more instructive, but you can't afford too many lessons like that at your event!

When we were learning the seminar business (not that we'll ever stop learning), seeing how smoothly or otherwise each speaker segued into his or her pitch was fascinating. Seeing inexperienced speakers struggle a little and then make rapid progress was actually quite a thrill, while hearing a few of the delegates' grumbles taught us a thing or two.

And we were keen to learn.

So you can make a virtue out of the speakers' desire to sell by including at least one session, perhaps near the end of your event, where you explain what the presenters were doing and why.

As I said, it's all part of the education process for your delegates and it might help them appreciate just how much thought, effort and experience goes into the average presentation.

Most of us are used to being sold to by now. As marketers, we probably keep swipe files and acquire countless books and ebooks about 'how to sell'.

Your event could be the example 'par excellence'!

Roy

PS. Many people take copious notes during an event but most of them stop writing once the speaker goes into his or her pitch. Imagine the boost to your DVD sales when people realise the lesson you just gave them, and that they won't find in their notes.

PPS. The One Dollar Trial is still available, directly from this blog, here.

Another Question From The Seminar Secrets Survey

2009-01-10T08:59:00.000-08:00

One of my members asks, 'How can I sell more effectively from the back of the room?'

Firstly, in case you don't know what we mean by 'back of the room' sales, we're talking about the products on sale at a seminar event, usually at a special 'today only' price. They're almost always literally at the back of the room.

Healthy sales depend on a few factors, among which are:

1. The speakers having a suitable product to promote on the day that's relevant to the audience (or the audience being sufficiently targeted to be likely to want that product) .

2. The ability of the speakers to offer an excellent 'today only' deal.

3. How convincing the speakers are, both in the information they give and their ability to sell.

4. The audience being in a positive, upbeat mood generally.

5. The audience members trusting you and your payment process.

6. Enough of the audience having the money to spend or being offered terms they can afford.

7. Having a convenient and well-organised buying process, so everyone who wants to buy can do so quickly.

8. Offering brilliant, no quibble guarantees.

9. The speakers being available to talk with undecided buyers and explain their offer, maybe offer special terms, etc.

10. Offering good value in the presentations, suggesting (rightly) that there's a lot more to tell, if only we had the time, and offering the products (information products, courses, coaching, etc) as a solution to getting that information, help, encouragement, etc, across.

Briefly, get the best speakers you can (or do the best presentation you can), with the best and most relevant products. Give your delegates a great event by entertaining, educating and encouraging them to take action - starting with this investment in themselves.

You'll notice, especially when you've been to a few events yourself, how often the speakers will congratulate you on taking action (by being there), choosing to be among the four or five percent who've opted to succeed, and so on. The implication is that to stay among those top few percent you need to keep taking action by investing in your education, by equiping yourself and your business for the future and by 'teaming up' with them and their evident success.

And all that needs to be true. Then you can have what Niche Seminar Secrets promises you: real wealth with a totally clear conscience.

Two Ways to Improve Your Speaking Confidence

2009-01-05T06:58:00.000-08:00

Here's another question I received from you in the Niche Seminar Secrets Survey:

'How do I overcome nerves/become more confident as a speaker?'

As with the very old joke I quote in Niche Seminar Secrets, to get to Carnegie Hall, 'You Gotta Practise.'

Dale Carnegie would agree (I know the hall was financed by Andrew Carnegie but the coincidence adds a nice symmetry).

Essentially, practice is the thing. First, write your presentation to sound as relaxed and natural as you can manage, then practise speaking it out loud (not just in your head), amending and adjusting it each time so that it becomes more and more like your natural 'voice'. A natural presentation is much more pleasant for the listeners, since an uncomfortable speaker makes them feel anxious, too.

By the time you've got a really natural-sounding presentation you will probably have learned it well enough to do without the script. If not, practise some more! When the time comes to make your presentation, you should need no more than your opening lines, plus some key words to prompt you and help to keep you to a logical sequence, plus your closing remarks. Put these on cards and staple them together.

If you've signed up to my niche-seminar list you should have had your copy of Dale Carnegie's 'The Art of Public Speaking', which still makes great sense today. Sign up now if you haven't done so and I'll send you the download link, free of charge.

I know some people prefer to learn in other ways than by reading, though, which is why I've previously recommended 'Step Up and Speak', an 11-part audio and video course (plus extras) that I'm confident you'll find useful. It's modestly priced and can transform your confidence and performance as a public speaker.

Remember, the more convincingly you speak, the more your public speaking will boost your business.

There are also some simple ways to combat nerves, which I've described in some detail in Niche Seminar Secrets, including taking moderate exercise and a great technique called Thought Field Therapy that I can personally recommend - TFT helped me overcome crippling nerves and I demonstrate some simple methods in an appendix to the manual.

Few things eradicate nerves as well as knowing you're well-prepared, though, so I'd recommend you use Dale Carnegie's book and / or 'Step Up and Speak' to help you prepare, then practise, practise, practise.

Enjoy the experience and you won't need me to wish you 'Good Luck'!

Seminar Secrets Survey

2009-01-02T13:23:00.000-08:00

Another question that came up in the survey was 'How do I find a suitable venue?'

Specifically, the questioner wanted to know about finding a venue for workshops, and I take it that means a smaller event, and probably held locally.

In the UK, and probably elsewhere, probably the best place to start researching venues is your local Tourist Information Office or its equivalent. Most hotels of any size will have meeting rooms for hire, and you can visit village halls, churches, and other likely venues but your Tourist Information Office will have information about most of them, including their charges.

Our local office, in Suffolk, has a very handy leaflet, free to anyone who wants it, with a list of venues for hire. There are some ommissions, though, including local schools who we know are always eager for new fund-raising opportunities.

Also, we know of at least one local company that offers preferential rates to people they know through our networking group, so it's worth spending time building a list of local contacts and just asking around.

Finally, some charities, including hospices and the like, have buildings they need to make maximum use of. One in our town has an impressive new building they sometimes struggle to fill. Again, ask around.

But if time is short, I'd still say start with your Tourist Information Office.

Some of these venues will have all the facilities you need, including Internet connections and catering facilities, while others may not. Hotels, of course, will probably offer catering, but ask about prices and try to compare like with like when you're gathering quotes.

I hope that's helped.

Identifying a Profitable Niche

2008-12-31T05:59:00.000-08:00

One of the questions that came up in the Niche Seminar Secrets Survey was, 'How do I choose a niche?'

To answer that, you need to ask yourself what it is you really need to know. Then, the answer becomes obvious:

You need to know what people are currently interested in, and especially what they're currently spending money on. It's quite easy to get a broad idea, but you will need to narrow it further. Remember that a broad niche may give you a bigger potential audience but to capture an enthusiastic, hungry crowd you need a smaller, more focused niche who will be keen to find out anything they can about their favourite topic.

Here's a simple three-step process to help you find your broad subject area and then identify your more tightly focused niche:

1. Remembering that seminars are information products, we can look elsewhere to see what subjects people are currently buying information about. So our first stop should be Amazon, the world's largest online bookstore, to study their list of current bestsellers. This gives you a very good idea of what's hot, topic-wise.

2. Visit your local magazine retailer and see which topics have the most magazines devoted to them. Also, watch to see which ones seem to sell best - you'll need to linger for a while - and browse through a few. Magazines that carry lots of advertising are probably doing well, since most (though not all) advertisers are quite careful not to waste their advertising budgets in magazines no one reads. The more successful magazines will be the ones that hit a particular niche most effectively, with content that suits the current tastes and interests of their readers. Make a list of the contents of these successful magazines. Now you're beginning to home in on your target.

3. Finally, visit online forums dedicated to the niche or niches you've identified. Now you're not just looking for the niche topic and its enthusiasts; you're actually going to find out exactly what they want to know. By spending time following discussions, contributing comments and questions of your own and identifying people's most pressing questions and problems, you will have found your niche and also have a very precise idea of exactly what questions to cover in your seminar. By contributing freely - you can research the answers elsewhere - you will also have begun to establish yourself as an authority in that area and developed a following - your first potential delegates!

You'll find more information and ideas about identifying a niche and its enthusiasts in Niche Seminar Secrets, including how to use other people's events to launch your own. And the one-dollar trial of Niche Seminar Secrets is still available, right here on this blog.

For just one dollar, you can secure a 30-day trial of Niche Seminar Secrets, with a further discount available at the end of the 30 days. Just choose the payment option you prefer when you order your one-dollar trial.

Here's to a prosperous 2009. Yes, it is still possible!

...because I've decided to keep the one-dollar trial of Niche Seminar Secrets available for a little longer.

Which means you'll be able to download the full system for just one dollar and take the next twenty-nine days deciding if it's right for you. After thirty days I'll send you the full-colour hard copy, and I'll even offer you a further $20 discount on top.

I'll also send you an extra bonus or two with your manual. I'm not revealing exactly what just yet, but rest assured you'll be pleased you said 'yes'!

Go here to take the one dollar trial of Niche Seminar Secrets.

The One Dollar Trial With a Difference

2008-12-11T04:13:00.000-08:00

This is not the only one dollar trial offer you'll see, but I think it might be the best one you'll see for a while. One hundred people took up my free trial offer, and more tried, but this deal is even better. Read on to see how...

Because I'll be taking all the risk (not counting the one dollar...), you can afford to take me up on it, safe in the knowledge that you're, well, safe.

And because I'm being sensible about it, I can afford to be even more generous than I was planning to be. So it's a real win-win. You get a 30-day trial, almost as good as free, and I don't have to deal with a hundred returns 29 days from now!

I recently had an interesting experience with a one dollar trial, but that's for another day. Suffice it to say you will benefit from the lesson I learned. Basically, I won't send you the printed edition until one month's time, when I know you really want it.

But you still get the digital download version of the full Niche Seminar Secrets manual, for one dollar today.

Here are your two options:

Option 1. The complete Niche Seminar Secrets (not the Limited Edition I gave away) will be yours today for one dollar, as a digital download. One month from now I'll send you the full-colour printed edition for a further two monthly payments of forty-eight dollars. ($1 + $48 + $48 = $97). Meaning, you get the full manual, printed in full colour, for the current price of the digital download version.

Option 2. I'll still send you the complete digital Niche Seminar Secrets for one dollar right now, plus you get the full-colour printed edition through the post in a month's time, for just seventy-seven dollars when you pay the remainder in one month's time. That's $1 now and $76 in a month's time, saving you a further twenty dollars. Remember, this is the full-colour printed edition for $20 less than I was charging for the digital download.

Putting it another way, you get a look at the full manual for a measly one dollar, as compared to seeing less than twenty percent of it for free - and you can't get the free one at all now, since all 100 copies went inside four days.

By the time I send your manual by post I may even have found a few extra bonuses to send with it. No promises, but I'll see what I can come up with. There's already one bonus included with the manual that's designed to make massive profits even easier to come by...

So, click this PayPal button for the $1 trial - that's $1 now, then 2 x $48 later:

And below is the PayPal button for the $77 dollar bargain - $1 now then 2 x $38 next month:

Either way, you get a month's trial of the full Niche Seminar Secrets system for just a dollar! Select your option now then let PayPal's secure servers take care of it.

And nothing more to pay for a full 30 days - Bargain!

Niche Seminar Secrets Survey Answers

2008-12-08T07:04:00.000-08:00

The first survey results are starting to come through now from Niche Seminar Secrets members and I have to say they are quite revealing...

Over 85% of those who have responded so far have already spoken at or organised an event, while 71% are planning to either speak at or run an event in the next 6-12 months.

So we already have an amazing information resource right there, among NSS readers. Which sets me thinking...

Meanwhile, other seminar secrets members have asked some interesting questions, such as 'How do I promote a seminar event in a new country where I have few contacts?' From the same enquirer (I assume) is the question of how to promote an English speaking event in a non-English speaking territory.

Most of the questions you've asked are answered in full in Niche Seminar Secrets, but not those two...

And it's an interesting problem, I must admit. My first instinct about promoting any event is to build a list first, if at all possible. In this case, a list specifically from that region. Otherwise, rent or JV a list from someone who is already operating in that area. Do you have access to English-speaking property dealers or service providers for that area, for example?

I think you must think of the English speaking community as a sub-niche within your niche, whatever your niche is. But I'd promote it only in English, for a start. Of course, it doesn't have to be just expats - many people are multi-lingual - but you must pre-qualify your audience so language is not a barrier on the day.

So your list will comprise fluent English speakers in the niche you operate in, able to reach the country where your event will be held. Remember, some people will travel a long way to get to a special event in a lovely setting... But be realistic about the true size of your target market and your chances of capturing enough of them. See how easy or difficult it is to build that list - that will give you a good clue.

I'd be intrigued to know the circumstances that brought up the question, though! If you'd like to tell us more, we can probably offer some more specific advice. Use the comment section at the end of this post.

I'll be responding to some more questions and survey responses in the coming days. Questions like 'How do I get started with little or no cash to invest?' and 'How do I overcome nerves?'

Meanwhile, please add your comments, experiences and ideas here for us all to share - especially if you're one of the 85% with experience already.

Here's to your Seminar Secrets success!

Making Money from Seminars

2008-12-06T07:14:00.000-08:00

In case you're in any doubt about whether you really can make tons of money from seminars, I've made it my mission to ask a few direct questions of some top seminar promoters in the past few weeks.

Questions like, 'How much did you actually make that weekend?' and, 'Was it really that easy to make a hundred-thousand plus in one day?'

You know, the kind of questions you'd like to ask but maybe don't like to. It is easier if they're already friends.

Note than when I say 'seminar promoters' I don't mean people who only put on seminars - I mean people who use seminars and public speaking as a core part of their business marketing strategy. Increasingly so, in the cases I studied.

Well, if a hundred-thousand plus (pounds or dollars - does it matter?) in one or two days isn't motivation enough to make you want to do another event, what is?

Yes, we're talking sales, not profits, but remember the margins in information products are enormous - often over ninety percent, which is unheard of in other industries.

And given that two of the examples I looked into were only employing half of the Niche Seminar Secrets strategy, I might even say there's room for improvement! In truth, though, they are using the full NSS system in the longer term, so they probably do know what they're doing...

It's gratifying to see and hear of the Niche Seminar Secrets system working so well for two of my favourite marketers. Both are people I'd be delighted to JV with on a future event.

You could put yourself into that category too, thanks to the guidance you'll get from Niche Seminar Secrets. Currently, you can even get a trial version of NSS for just $17, just so you can finally convince yourself that Niche Seminar Secrets is the key to making six figures, and more, from organising and promoting your own seminar, workshop and conference events.

And maybe JV-ing on one with me...

Go here to your $17 Niche Seminar Secrets trial.

Roy

PS. My offer to answer any questions you have about seminars, etc, is still open.

PPS. I'm afraid the free Limited Edition of NSS is no longer available. All 100 went in just four days! But I think $17 invested in the (bigger) trial edition is still a bargain!

Seminar Secrets For Free

2008-11-28T10:28:00.000-08:00

Hello again,

As this is very much a time for giving, I'm giving away 100 copies of a Special Edition of Niche Seminar Secrets. So now you can decide if a six-figure income, or more, from seminars and events appeals to you, without buying Niche Seminar Secrets itself.

As 61 of them have already been snapped up already, that leaves 39 still available as I write this post...

One very good reason for giving away 'trial' versions of new products is that people are understandably reluctant to splash out for something they haven't seen and that no one they know has invested in yet.

And often the best sales copy for a good new product like Niche Seminar Secrets is the product itself.

More than that, a trial version that's useful in itself will keep on promoting its creator and his or her products for as long as it's in circulation. Which is my cunning plan...

But there are only 100 of Niche Seminar Secrets Limited Edition to circulate in the first place, so you need to get yours now to find out if making six figures a year from seminars, workshops and conferences is for you.

Because 61 copies have gone already...

Roy

Results Just In...

No, not THAT result - that's old news...

I'm just getting the first results in from a survey I'm running at Niche Seminar Secrets about what people really want to know about planning and running seminars for profit.

It seems that, for people who've been there and done it, the speaking part isn't usually a problem. I suppose that's not surprising, since if you're uncomfortable speaking, you might not think seminars are 'your thing' anyway.

Of course, you can get coaching in public speaking, or you can learn from a master like Dale Carnegie.

But the two main issues that seem to crop up are choosing a subject or niche, and the management of the event once it's underway. Things that can go wrong apparently will go wrong.

I'll talk a little more about finding a niche soon. Meanwhile, those problems on the day come down to trying to plan for all eventualities and thinking on your feet, but we'd hope that nothing insumountable will crop up when you follow the Niche Seminar Secrets system.

Anyway, ours is a simple survey that you're welcome to take part in too.

But why not join us at Niche Seminar Secrets and add to our well of wisdom? I'll even throw in a free Dale Carnegie book (and a couple of our ebooks) when you do.

I just read this headline:

"Proven Advice To Make Money Every Time You Attend
A Seminar -- From The Experts Who Do It All The Time."

When those experts include Alex Mandossian, Armand Morin and Michel Fortin, you need to take that headline seriously. And when that money comes in six-figure sums, maybe you should look even closer, at Seminar Strategy Secrets...

(Click the link to discover more)

Just to prove there's more than one way to profit from seminars, Ray Edwards and Dave Bernstein want to show you how just attending them can lead to truly amazing results - when you know how.

We showed you in Networking Nitro how we make the most of every event we attend, but Ray and Dave have put us in the shade! Let them put you in the picture, at Seminar Strategy Secrets

Seminar Secrets

2008-10-23T02:12:00.000-07:00

Hello again

It seems a long time since I touched on the topic of seminars and public speaking as a way to improve your visibility and especially to grow your business and bottom line.

It's no coincidence that the subject has come up this week. Having spent last weekend in London at the Focus Marketing Seminar, where we met lots of old friends and celebrated may of their successes, it seemed high time to raise the topic again. If you were there too, I hope you enjoyed the buzz as much as I did. I think it's fair to say Alex Jeffreys was buzzing!

Frankly, I feel refocused - thanks, Alex!

But there's more...

The fact is, I've been working on a product for some time that teaches you everything you need to know about planning, staging and profiting from your own seminar. It's been almost ready for a while, and now it's really, really ready.

As a taster, I've put together a couple of ebooks that will certainly point you in the right direction. I've added a surprise bonus, too.

You can get those at Niche Seminar Secrets, which is endorsed by the president of France, no less (even if he doesn't know it).

Thanks to Sean Roach and Pat Lovell for a great weekend at Heathrow, to all the speakers and to the delegates (even the quiet ones) who made it such a splendid three days. To the speakers who found time to chat in private afterwards (which was most of them), special thanks. Internet marketing really is quite a community.

To see Niche Seminar Secrets played out for real was very reassuring, too! The Focus Marketing Seminar worked extremely well, thanks to following a tried and trusted system. Yours can, too.

And there is nothing in business, nothing at all, that works quite so well as networking at events like last weekend's. That, and giving stuff away - thanks again, Alex Jeffreys.

Speak soon,

Roy

PS. Actually, here's another free ebook for you, that tells you not only about networking but about the next step - power groups, mastermind groups and the synergy that leads to exponential growth. It's powerful stuff, which is why I called it Networking Nitro. It's so hot off the press, it doesn't even have a cover yet!

PPS. Catch up with Alex Jeffreys, HERE.
