24 PLACES/PEOPLE TO CONTACT TO OFFER TALKS 


Once you decide that you're going to give talks/presentations, it's really not that hard to find places to do them. I offered them for free to begin with and then ended up being invited to be the guest speaker and charged a fee. Yes, paid to market my business! Woohoo. 

These are all places I did talks/presentations and speeches for:

  19. Contact the PTA at your local schools and offer to run an event for mums and/or staff.
  20. Go to networking meetings in your local area and ask people if they know anyone who’d like you to do a free talk.
  21. Put a Style/Colour Party page on your website.
  22. Add a ‘Speaker’ page on your website.
  23. Keep an eye out for things going on locally that you could get involved with.
  24. Contact a local college and ask if you can run a (paid!) course. 

It's not a NO until you ask. Do NOT assume someone will not be interested before you've even spoken to them. Before you contact them think - what's in it for them?

You'll may need to incentivise here especially if they are having to gather people for you- they are running a business too at the end of the day! But don't start with that. Wait for them to say no first and then you can offer a commission or similar.
