Be Your Own Publicity Agent

Although a great deal of what's in this book is true, you definitely have to make your own workbook, and replace some suggestions that Dr. Robert Anthony makes, with some of the modern tools. For example, he suggest that you make a booklet, a newsletter and related literature. I suggest that you replace this with: write articles that you have published, on topics that you believe you are an expert on. And do this, even if you are told that you won't be paid. What you are interested in is establishing your name, and having many people identify you according to your chosen expertise.Also, place all of this information in loose leaf binder, so that you free to make notes, as you ask questions to people in the public speaking industry (meeting planners; publicity agents; journalist; etc.).To be an public speaker you must decide that you are a public speaker, then do what they do, so that you have all that that means.An excellent author, on this topic, which Dr. Anthony also recommends is, Lily Waters and her daughter (both have an excellent standing in teaching public speaking).
