SPEAKING

Today, I want to help you get started with one specific way to grow your audience. Public speaking is a powerful way to connect with new listeners.

Studies tell us the fear of public speaking is one of the most common fears in society today. I would suggest it is the fear of failure while public speaking that is most common.

When most people think of public speaking, they think of being onstage. I want to give you 9 different stages where you can appear that are much less scary than being on stage. Then, my good friend Marjorie Saulson is going to help you overcome the fear of public speaking.

9 DIFFERENT STAGES

When you think of a stage, I want you to think of any opportunity to get in front of an audience. Live on stage is one opportunity. However, there are nine others that don't involve actually being on stage.

Podcast interviews can put you in front of an audience without actually being onstage. Your potential listeners are listening to other shows. Find them.

You can get on YouTube interviews. YouTube is the second most powerful search engine in the world. Take advantage of it.

Facebook Live interviews are another option for you. It is the most popular social media. Use it to get in front of new audiences in a way that doesn't involve being on stage.

You could speak on summits. These are like online conferences with a virtual audience. It is very similar to being onstage. But, you are not standing on stage looking at an audience staring back at you.

There are other virtual events you could use. These could be mastermind meeting, webinars and other online events that put you in front of new audiences.

Leverage crowdsourced content and guest segments on other podcasts. This is where another expert creates most of the content, and you just contribute a piece to be included amongst the bigger whole.

NON-TRADITIONAL

Newsletters are a non-traditional way to get in front of a new audience. It doesn't necessarily involve speaking in front of an audience. However, it is a great way to find new listeners.

You can guest blogs for other influencers. Use this opportunity to get in front of prospective listeners.

Finally, email swaps leverage the influence of other experts. When they include you in their newsletter, it is similar to endorsing your podcast.
