Write The Speech First
Get The Speech Right Before Anything Else
The one mistake that many speakers make is getting their promo and press in order and sending it out and they don’t even have their speech scripted out yet.
This was my problem. I had a beautiful one sheet and headshot and brochure, but my speech wasn’t even anywhere near ready for the podium. I was still an amateur and it showed.
Write your speech. Then re-write it again and again until you’ve got it the way that will make people listen and want more. Then, start working on the other stuff.
When I first started going on stage, I spoke too fast and I slurred my words and I didn’t look at all like the person that my professional press indicated that I was.
People would see my press and assume I was a pro. But what they saw on stage was anything but.
You must write and re-write your speech first. Then you must practice it over and over again. Have it down so you can recite it in your sleep. Anywhere, any time, you can do it.
It’s the only way you can go on stage with confidence. If you don’t know or believe in your speech, it will show and you will come off as not being an expert at your topic.
I talk about humor therapy. I’ve been doing humor for over twenty years, but when I first went on stage to do it as a professional speaker, I looked like someone who had just got up from the audience and tried it for the first time.
Fortunately, I taped that performance and it’s embarrassing to look at it now. But it’s also a great learning tool. It showed me what not to do next time.
I have since practiced my speech over and over again and I have re-written it several times until I got it tight and full of the information they need.
I’ve added a message in the speech. They need a message they can take home with them.
Now, my promo goes with my speech and I am considered an expert at humor therapy.
Learn your speech first and then work on the promo and marketing yourself. Speak for free wherever you can; Kiwanis, Rotary’s, Civitans, Chambers of Commerce, anywhere they’re willing to hear you until you get the speech down the way you want it. Then, start marketing yourself as an expert in your field.

News Commentary Online Challenged at Last – How to Write Articles on News Topics
News Commentary Online Challenged at Last – How to Write Articles on News Topics
It seems everywhere we look there are tons of news articles. We just can’t get away from it. Every time we go to a home page there is another news article. Our television sets now have 24 hour news from CNN. Something that was unheard of only a couple decades ago. We have newspapers, radio, TV, cable, and even the Internet news blurbs all day long. Now people have twitter and mobile telephones and they can’t get away from it.
When someone important dies, everyone knows about it in 10 minutes all the way around the world, as they receive instant messages, news alerts, and flash bulletins. So, with all this known how is a writer or an author of online articles able to get ahead? After all, the competition for news is blasted at such a high rate of speed it is almost impossible to compete. By the time you write up a news article there are already 50 articles with the exact same story showing up on Google using specific keywords.
Still, over the years I’ve written over 2500 news and political articles, and I’ve received endless comments and e-mails from them, as well as millions of article views. How did I do it? It’s simple really when you are reading news stories, read four or five in the same venue about the same story. Then recall other similar things that have happened in the past and tie those all together, and then give your opinion of how this affects various aspects of industry and life in our society.
By doing this you are creating commentary and information that is about News Topics, but it isn’t actually the news. Best of all these articles stand as Evergreen articles for long periods of time that help with the human record. Next time, another news event comes out, along the same lines as those before your old article of what happened last time will have new life, giving people a new perspective on an older story. Please consider all this.
