We found a great blog post on Twitter from The Publicity Hound. Free publicity is a goldmine in today's business and political world. With our communities on a nonstop spinning axis of dialogue, communications and interaction, any and every possible opportunity for visibility for your business or organization should be immediately seized upon.
Public speaking opportunities not only put your business in the spotlight, but position you as an expert in your field. By bringing your ideas and your perspective to audiences, you in turn become a key influencer and your audience is more likely to be persuaded to your opinion. Positive experiences can lead to more speaking events, and thus your network of free publicity will continue to grow.
Speaking engagements don't need to be limited to solo gigs with you alone in front of a podium, staring out into a sea of faces. Volunteer for panels through local colleges or local political or non-profit organizations, participate in a speakers bureau; even offer to emcee the local talent show. Each and every opportunity will offer visibility and networking that help you ascend that ladder one more rung.
