You could charge people to go to a seminar called "How to Form a Business Without a Lawyer." This seminar could talk about what to think about and how to set up your own private corporation.
- Sell products with information
The information given in a speech or seminar could be used to make books, courses, special reports or folios, audios, videos, DVDs, electronic books, and other types of information products. You could, for example, write a book called "How to Form a Business Without a Lawyer."
Having these items as handouts at your seminar would make it more valuable for the people who come (which you could charge for). Even if you gave a speech for free to a group, you could still make money on the side by selling information products.
When making an audio or video cassette, it goes without saying that your public speaking skills will be very important. People will judge you based on how you look, how you act, how you talk to the audience, how enthusiastic you are, how informative your material is, and many other things.
Your information products show that you are an expert, which brings you more business. You can also sell the same information products through mail order, direct mail, Internet marketing, and other methods.
- Consulting Work and Other Chances
As your reputation as an expert in your field grows, so will the number of people who want to hire you. Clients might ask you to speak at events that pay well. You might be asked to write magazine articles, give advice to big companies, give expert testimony in court, write a syndicated column, and so on.
So, whether you have never spoken in public before or have done it a lot, it pays to improve and use your public speaking skills.
