Getting Started in Speaking, Training and Seminar Consulting

Another WINNER! This is an excellent resource for starting and establishing a career as a professional speaker.I've read most of Bob Bly's books (and continue to do so) and I'm never left disappointed. He consistently gives you practical, down to earth information that you can immediately put to use.The advice he gives in this book enabled me to land a number of lucrative speaking engagements. Through his advice on writing and publishing (an important section in the book), I was able to get a monthly column in Fund Raising Management magazine (Hoke Communications Inc.) and Publishers' Auxiliary (National Newspaper Association).I can honestly say that I cut my teeth on Bly's books. His instructions have proved profitable for me in too many ways to mention. This book on public speaking is one I'll cherish and continue to recommend for years to come.

Great book!

Robert Bly does it again with his latest book. It's full of solid information on exactly how to get into the speaking and training field. He gives hype-free realistic advice on self-sponsoring public seminars, boosting your income with products and has extensive appendices at the end with sample documents and web sites, etc. It's a reference book you'll use over and over again.

Bob Bly's Best Book? (out of his 45)

I've been a Bob Bly fan for over twenty years. Through his books, Bob Bly has inspired and mentored me, helping me write 24 books and conduct hundreds of workshops throughout the world. Although Bob Bly has written over 45 books, I think Getting Started in Speaking, Training, or Seminar Consulting is his best one yet. It's the tightest written and most entertaining; certainly one of the most useful. It's the one I just bought for two of my friends who need the type of career enhancement that only speaking can provide.Although there are numerous "get rich quick" books on the subjhect, this is the most comprehensive, tightly organized yet readable one I've ever encountered. It's loaded with details regarding prsentation development and marketing. Numerous worksheets help you apply his ideas to your next presentation. I especially liked Bob overview of the various categories of public speaking, i.e. keynote speakers, corporate trainers, self-marketed workshops and public seminar companies. Bob details the pros and cons of each category, how you can best prepare your presentation as well as outlines the their income potential and techniques for marketing yourself. This is one of those rare books that comes from the heart. It's not a "formula" book nor does it promise more than it delivers. Bob writes clearly but with passion and obvious concern for his readers. His knowledge is augmented by numerous quotes from other successful speakers. Bob's understated integrity comes through on every page. The need for this book becomes more and more obvious as each morning's newspaper recounts the latest cutbacks and restructuring. Today, we all need to master more and more communications skills in order to preserve our present job and prepare for an uncertain future.
