GET PAID to SPEAK by Next Week®

Picture yourself walking off stage… the audience jumping to their feet
in appreciation of your presentation… as a herd of them RUNS to the
back of the room to purchase YOUR educational materials!

Then the meeting planner pulls you aside, and with a huge grin says,
‘Thank you!’ while slipping a check into your hand…

If you’re speaking and not getting paid, do you have ANY IDEA how much money you’re leaving on the table... every time? Even the most experienced speakers leave lots of money on the table. Why? Many never started from scratch the way I did.

If you were sitting across from me, I’d say…

“How do I get started as a speaker?” is one of the most common questions I get from people who see me speak. My first response is “Are you serious about getting paid, or just thinking about it?” Dreams that are pursued are 100% more likely to be a reality, than just wishes. Talking with someone who has actually done it is a great initial step!

No meeting planner will pay you for wishing…

Stop dreaming. Start pursuing! The first step is to get the information to figure out where to start. I’ve helped literally hundreds of speakers get started. I’ve helped speakers who are struggling get higher fees, more often. I just helped a 19-year-old speaker earn $220 on his first try!

Ever seen a HORRIBLE speaker who was getting paid?

Don’t get mad! Let that inspire you! That’s proof that getting paid is attainable. If you’re at least as talented as that speaker — and they got paid — then so can YOU!

Here’s what happened:

It’s very simple, actually. When the decision-maker (meeting planner) made their choice, that speaker was the best option for that subject, within their budget. The meeting planner knew about them, and had no idea about you. Does that make sense? You just have to know how to be considered by planners, and be the best option out there. That’s exactly what my Get Paid to Speak by Next WeekTM System shows you.

Who would pay you?

The meetings industry is huge. Companies and associations spend billions of dollars on meetings each year. Every single day, speakers earn from $500 to $25,000. Mega-celebrities can earn more than $100,000 for just an hour-long speech. You just aren’t getting any of the pie! The only reason, you don’t know HOW. That’s a simple fix.

We don’t get paid to speak, we actually get paid to…

If you were sitting across from me, the next thing I would tell you is that you need a basic understanding of the industry. What are companies and associations actually paying for? It’s NOT just for a person to “speak.” Experts are paid to transfer value. You must think like an expert, not a speaker. What value do you have to transfer? I haven’t found anyone who has listened to just the very first CD in my program, and not had a huge list of ideas to speak on!

You don’t have to be the ULTIMATE EXPERT

To start speaking in any industry you don’t have to be the ultimate guru. I sure wasn’t. Dan Kennedy says, “In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.” In my Get Paid to Speak by Next WeekTM System, I’ll show you fast and simple ways to get started speaking NOW, while setting the stage for more.

“I have received my FIRST speaking paycheck! Your advice helped me
realize what I was... getting into and it sure helped me avoid many of the pitfalls
that others make routinely. Thanks for your help."

~ Theresa Westcott, Houston, TX

Here’s where it gets even worse

The only thing sadder than not getting started, is starting off in the wrong direction. Investing your valuable time and effort towards the wrong goals is truly a waste. The sad thing is that many dreams have died because of just that. People get bad advice from someone who has never done it, or claimed to, or stupidly try and “figure it out on their own.” (Would you want a Doctor working on you who didn’t go to medical school?) Why do people do that?

Personally, this bugs the heck out of me!

My reason? Because, then people gain a false belief that they’re not good enough, or not cut out for speaking. The truth is, they followed bad advice, or tried to do it cheaply. (As Ed Tate says, “You can’t cheap your way to the top!”)

Here’s the cool part…

It simply takes following a proven system. A system that aspiring speakers from around the country — just like you — have followed to start getting paid to speak.

I wish someone had created a “system” like this when I first started speaking! I’ve had so many people ask for advice in this area. Last year, I took two months off from my own speaking and perfected an easy-to-follow process that would help anyone get started to get paid. I created this with you in mind. I thought it would be helpful. I had no idea how successful. I now have proof it works. People who have invested, have proudly sent me copies of their first checks! Will you?

Need a plan? How about a step-by-step system to follow?

“I was ridiculed by family members who told me that one more time
I had my 'head in the clouds'. However, when I did start speaking professionally
and then told those same people when I’d booked my 100th talk...
they suddenly changed to my biggest supporters!

"Same thing coincidentally happened when I announced I’d write the books
I had wanted to do for years. But it was YOU and Les Brown that
made me cross that line of belief that I could do it.”

~ Charlotte Endorf, Norfolk, NE

If I can show you how to instantly start earning thousands of dollars by speaking...
how much would that be worth to you?

"You got me thinking about doing this in ways I never imagined.

I can give free speeches to work on my material and still make

money to cover my expenses after giving my presentation.
All I need is stage time, stage time, stage time."

~ Oliver Cozby, Fort Worth, TX

Stop THINKING about it. The best way to learn the business is to do it. Stage time.
Start to earn as you learn!

- AS SEEN ON TV -

Good. Sound too good to be true? Don't take my word for it.

What if I can show you a way to start making your car payments through your speaking business... what would that be worth to you?

Do you realize the tax benefits to owning your own small business? Money you are already spending....  This alone can pay for this program!

Did you realize that you can legally write off mileage, educational tools (like this one), and your home office space?

“Darren, you are an incredible source of information on public speaking and marketing speaking services. I learned more in the hour and a half with you than I have ever
learned before about the speaking business. Thanks so much.” 

~ Bob Mauterstock, Farmington, CT

"Darren, thanks to your constant prodding on your CDs, which I seem to always
find in my CD player, I have received my FIRST speaking paycheck!
Your advice helped me realize what I was getting into and it sure helped me
avoid many of the pitfalls that others make routinely. Thanks for your help."

~ Theresa Westcott, Houston, TX

Scott's first check was for $500 and he got it BEFORE he even spoke! Some people have had a first check of $25...the amount is not relevent to a dream. It is only a first step! My first one was small, now I earn $7,500 for a one hour speech.

Here’s your chance to make THIS the best year of your life by launching your professional speaking career while laying the foundation for multiple streams of speaking income! Let me show you how.

I don’t want you to quit your day job... yet. However, what you can do is earn $500-$1,500 extra per month while learning to earn even more. What would that be worth to you?

My very first professional speech paid just $75. Now, I earn more than I ever dreamed possible. I’ve condensed 12 years of my speaking business experience into this proven, simple, and step-by-step system.

You've heard of teaching someone to fish?  I've done it for you!

Well in this program, I caught the fish for you, cooked it, removed the bones, sliced it up, packaged it, and I am now pointing you to the fridge! Just go get it and put it in the microwave!

"The best part about your product is that for what seems like a long time
now I have been in the "if" mode of my speaking business and just
plugging along in small ways. I have been keeping my safety net intact
and fervently wishing it would happen but never putting my full energies
into it. After listening to the CD's, it's turned into a "when" and
I can actually see it happening if I follow the tips and advice you
provide. That's a huge mindshift that I don't think I would have made
so suddenly if it weren't for your product. Thank you."

~ Melanie Szlucha, Norwalk, CT

CD # 1 ~ Setting "The Stage"

Did you know you have a wealth of assets? Darren will help point them out to you as he has done for many others. You are too close to you! The cool thing is you have a desire to teach and inspire by speaking. Most are scared to do that who know what you know. This alone will help you launch your career, even if you start off part time!

CD #2 ~ Your Business

Who wants you? Where are they? Why speakers bureaus are not the place to start.
Darren will show you step by step how to start this process and learn as you earn.

CD #3 ~ Speaking Business Models

Did you know there are at least 7 different business models in the speaking industry? Did you know that there are people who speak for free and earn a seven figure income?

CD #4 ~ Oooops! The 16 Biggest Mistakes in the Speaking Business

Avoiding some of these will pay for this program itself. One of these mistakes Darren made had him miss out on $276,000 in income!

CD #5 ~ Getting Started

Speaking for free and earning a huge income. This is how Darren started to go full time. Finding people who needed the information that he had access to, and they did not even know existed!

CD #6 ~ Marketing

How to start letting people know you are out there! All of the methods will cost you very little.

CD #7 ~ Tools

You will not only see Darren's program agreement, but learn the hows and whys behind it. Darren's sandwhich shop cost him $60,000 to open. These tools will save you tons of time. Learn the secret phrasing in the agreement that got him an extra $6,000 in just one presentation.

CD #8 ~ Your Plan

Every business needs a plan. How to get started while you still have a job and be successful.

“Hey Darren, Thanks again... YOU ROCK!

FREE Bonus # 2 - "YouTube It!"
DVD + Data Disc show you how to get yourself up on YouTube by TOMORROW! (value $97.00)

If they can’t find you, they are finding your competition.

Have you noticed when you now search Google(tm) you now get video results as well? Do you choose text or video? Many people would rather see video than just read text on a website. That is just one reason people are now searching more within YouTube… and YouTube is exploding.

Business owners large and small are realizing that marketing is changing quickly. I heard recently, Proctor & Gamble are moving 100% of their advertising to social media. The big boys “get it” do you? Traditional marketing just isn’t working the way it used to. Customers want more. They want to see you. They want to get to know you and trust you. People don’t just want a website, they want video to help them decide if you are the answer.

Want orders while you sleep, at zero cost?

Once I decided to get my message in front of the skyrocketing YouTube audience (at virtually no cost), orders started coming in each week from videos I posted one time.

Traditional advertising (magazines, TV, Radio, even Ad Sense) is not only costly, but the ROI is rapidly decreasing. YouTube is free and is yielding higher and higher ROI. The most expensive part of posting effective videos on YouTube is your learning process.

I’ll save you time, frustration and money...
I say, “YouTube it!“

You might be thinking… “Web video seems too complicated & takes too much time!”

So did I! Boy, was I wrong. Today, I’m glad my competition is still thinking that way. I do it all myself with a tiny little video camera and my laptop. It works. Your videos can & should be very short. I found some of my most profitable videos are less than two minutes!

Want more customers using an easy-to-follow, time-saving system?

I say, “YouTube it!”
