This week I am going to put all 5 tips under the heading of speaking engagements. As you know, the privilege to speak to any group is a great opportunity to let people know you better and understand the inspiration for writing your book. If people can catch your heart, they will want your book. These are some of the things you need to think about before you send out your information to groups.
- How far are you willing to travel or can you travel and make a profit? You need to think about gas, hotel, food, and other things.
- Who are you wanting to speak to?
- Women's groups
- Couples
- MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers)
- Bible Study groups
- Other
3. To find these organizations, you need to know who you are going to
contact. Start with the largest denominator and work down.
- organization name
- contact name
- address
- city
- state
- zip
- denomination
- phone
- fax
- website
- notes
- Start with their broadest website then church website and mail regularly.
4. Do you have friends or family in the area to stay with?
5. Do you have author friends who can "team speak" with you to share expenses?
6. Bonus: Make a video of your speech and use it in your press kit...We will talk about them next week.
