Speaking Powerfully Videos


If you want to attract more people to your website, start doing videos! Sounds simple doesn’t it? After you do them for a period of time, it does become easier. At the beginning there are steps to take to help you come across powerfully on video.
Here are 5 steps to help you grab people’s attention right from the start when speaking in videos.
  1. Create the script. When you’re speaking, the language you use has to be easy to understand. The words you say are different than the words you would write on paper.
  2. Be fully expressed. No one wants to listen or watch a boring speaker. Show your passion and enthusiasm in every word you speak.
  3. Be authentic. Speak genuinely from your heart. Don’t say what you think they want to hear, say what is true for you. Speak your truth.
  4. Practice, practice, practice. Don’t expect to get it right the first time. If you fly by the seat of your pants when speaking, it will come across in your delivery. Practice saying your script until you can say it naturally and without looking at the words.
  5. Connect with the audience. Look directly at the camera when speaking. Imagine you’re having a conversation with a friend sitting across from you.

What to Charge to Attend Your Event


A common question that comes up when planning your event is, “What do I charge to attend my event?”
In the past, many of the well-known people leading events charged a big upfront fee to attend their events. With the shift in the economy, that has changed. They’re now charging a lower upfront fee and delivering a lot of value, such that the attendees want to sign up for their higher end programs.
When deciding on the fee you want to charge to attend your event, check within yourself to make sure you can stand behind the fee you’re charging. You must believe in the value you’re delivering.
