You feel called to speak, but where do you start?
I get that question a lot! People show up at this blog, but they don’t really know where to go from here. So they click on links, and start reading.
All that is good! But if you want a quick reference, here are some posts that can help you, and then links to my training!
1. Join a Community
Join our Facebook group for community right off the bat! Ask questions on the wall, ask for prayer, and read others’ ideas!
2. Read Blog Posts
Here are seven that will get you going!
What Does Giving a Talk Entail?
The Difference Between Teaching and Speaking
Thinking About Your Audience First
Generating Word of Mouth for Your Ministry
Speaking Plan for 2011
Accepting Where You are in Your Ministry
Creating a Fee Schedule for Your Ministry
3. Get Training
I write a LOT of blog posts on how to start your ministry, but if you want to go deeper, I also offer training. My aim in what I do is to help you launch your speaking ministry for under $100. Here’s how you can do it:
- $50: E-course: How to Launch Your Speaking Ministry. Goes into great detail on how to set yourself up and how to generate word of mouth.
- $12: Teleseminar: Launch Your Speaking Ministry
- $12: Teleseminar: Crafting a Life-Changing Signature Talk (absolutely crucial if you’re going to deliver God’s message and give people an experience with Him)
- $12: Teleseminar: How to Get Better Bookings
Then, if you want to build the business side of speaking, you can spend under $35 for these:
- $12: Teleseminar: Treating Speaking as a Business
- $12: Teleseminar: Creating Products to Sell
- $12: Teleseminar: Build Your Online Community
I really want to make this inexpensive and accessible to those who are just starting out. I hope this helps! And remember to keep checking back to this blog for key insights–perfectly free–to help you as you speak for Him.
I purchased your audie creating products to sell. It was great. have already started on my first devotional. Thanks!
You are just what I have been looking for! I will do some more investigating soon, but must get to bed now! Got an early morning! So glad I found you! Thanks to Candy Troutman and some others on FB!
WOW, I feel really blessedd to have found your site and I thank you for all the advise in the blogs. I have been speaking for a few years, but it has always been with me not charging. So now I am looking at setting my fees on a slidding scale as well as presenting the information about me differently.
Thanks and I look forward to reading your blogs and using some of your services
You are God’s gift to me Sheila. Thanks to your articles I have started my own blog. I started posting this week. I live in West Africa. I have some challenges to overcome but I am up to the task. With you as mentor, I am sure to go a long way.
