Internet Marketing -- Four Benefits of a Kickin’ Speaker Website
There’s no guarantee that you’re going to be a rich
speaker just because you have a website, but there are four benefits that any
speaker can receive by putting effort into a website.
Benefit
1: More Money
The time I spent learning how to manage my website is the best investment I have made in my speaking career by far. I’m pretty well known today, but before that I was going to networking meetings, paying $35 to shake hands with people who had no clue what I did and could care less. Now I reach people around the world, for a lot less money and time.
Benefit
2: Increased Product Sales
The combination of my electronic magazine and website brought in about $24,500 in one 10-day period while I was just sitting here. I’m an average guy that just goes out, does things, and learns while he earns. You can make a lot of money that way also.
Benefit
3: Goodbye, Press Kits
Many people hire me directly after looking at the website, and seeing the credibility that I have established. They didn't even ask for a video demo tape. Soon, I’ll be distributing my videos on a CD-ROM along with a copy of my website, for fifty-nine cents plus postage. I’ll trade that low cost against a $20-30 press kit. A website also saves you from the tire kickers that want your press kit and your videos when they have no clue about what you offer and no serious intention to purchase.
Benefit
4: Sayonara, Printing Costs
I do a lot less printing since I have the website. When someone wants something, they get the information quickly, make their decision, and hire or don’t hire me. I don’t spend a nickel on them.
That’s at least 4 major benefits from having your own website, served up as an appetizer for you. In Click, you’ll find the steak and potatoes of what you can do to develop your own Kickin' Site.
