If you have EVER thought
of being a professional speaker,
even part-time, this may be the most
important web page you ever read
.

Question: Will this be the year
you get paid to speak?
How would that feel?

 

 


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…

Earning money in speaking doesn’t take
money, brains, talent, or connections!

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!

Next Week? Skeptical?

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
."

LISTEN!

(Scott got his first paid speech using Darren's System)

cooksey's first check

 

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."

FREE Bonus # 2 -
"We're Talking Product"
4-CD Set - Created for Professional Speakers only (value $97.00)We're Talking Product

For Professional Speakers - Introducing a brand new educational program for profiting that will impact your next presentation. It is a system by John Furman and Darren LaCroix that is based on their #1 selling tape at the NSA Honolulu Workshop in February 2001.

Dear Speaker,

To a professional speaker like yourself, $243 may not seem like much. Quite frankly, it isn't. However, there are also mornings that I wake up to amounts in the thousands but I prefer to deal in smaller numbers to show that anyone can do what I have done. Suppose that all you could make is $200 a day. That would be over $70,000 a year - without speaking to audiences.

The source of this income is perhaps the greatest disability insurance a speaker can have. Of course, I'm speaking of product. Some of you have some. Some of you don't. How much you have is irrelevant unless you're using every avenue to promote and sell it to as many people as possible.

Having done product programs both at the Chapter and National level, I find two consistent challenges facing speakers. First, not enough product and the lack of time to create more. And second, fear of promoting from the platform. Both of which can be extremely costly.

We're Talking Product© A Low-Tech System for Creating High-End Profits, is the program that can turn the faucets on. This is a speaker specific program designed to generate extra profits both from the platform as well as while you sleep.

"Your shrink wrap technique was
worth the price of the entire convention!"

~ Bob Pike, CSP, CPAE

You will discover:

  • What makes a profitable product
  • How to develop several products from one idea
  • When to promote your product
  • Where to display your products and how should the table look for maximum profits
  • Why you shouldn't put pressure on yourself to develop new product

We're Talking Product© also shares when it is more profitable to pre-sell your products as opposed to when to sell at the back of the room.

Most importantly, We're Talking Product© will have you selling products for profits by your next engagement. You will not only have product, you'll learn how to have multiple products, all related to your topics, each generating cash profits for you today as well as down the road. WE GUARANTEE IT!

"Way beyond anything I've heard in five years at NSA on how to
tell an audience 'Buy my stuff and buy lots' and not feel like an infomercial jerk.
And how to create great stuff to sell. GREAT STUFF!"

~ John D Cantu

Carrie Warren's Check

 

Darren LaCroix and John Fuhrman deliver the nuts and bolts to high profits in this cutting edge program. However, none of the information requires big bucks and high technology. There is something in here for every speaker at any level.

Whether you're still speaking for free or are a CSP this program will produce profits whether you're on the platform or home sleeping.

Imagine traveling to some exotic location for a vacation or a convention. (John and Darren were just speaking at the National Speakers Association Workshop in Honolulu.) Now imagine having to say that you couldn't make it due to financial concerns. Using the simple techniques found in We're Talking Product© could create enough income that you could actually return home from a trip like this with more money in the bank than when you left. How great would that be?

 

We Guarantee the Results!

If, after one year, you haven't earned at least 25 times your initial investment, return the product for a full refund - INCLUDING SHIPPING! That's it. No small print. We believe in the product. Most importantly, we believe in you.

Read the info below and review everything that you get with our program. If it's not all we say it is, you get your money back. But just ask yourself, "What if it is?"

"Within weeks of completing the program, I began to book
paying speeches and recording my products!"

 

A note from John Fuhrman...

As speakers we all know enough about marketing to understand that many of you won't take advantage of this offer. Based on percentages, the number of those who do respond will make this offer successful. But that's not what I want to tell you. I want you to realize how some of this information can help with many aspects of your speaking life because I can tell you what it's done for mine.

Just the record keeping section alone has changed my life. Since many of you are writers, perhaps you can relate to this. I was sending proposals to agents hoping for representation for a new book. By including my product records, I was able to get an interview with one. Creating a better proposal and focusing on my track record for sales to my audience as well as showing a representation of the names I've collected, I secured an advance with John Wiley & Sons to do one book with an option for a series. That technique and information alone will be worth over 1000 times what this program cost.

Darren and I have been blessed over the years by all of those who have mentored us and given us the direction we needed to get where we want to go. We pay those people a compliment when we take their guidance and follow through on it. This is our way of sharing with you our collective experience as a way of giving back. Please order this only if you really want massive growth in your product profits and an expansion of your creativity.

~ John Fuhrman
