Authors who pursue speaking engagements gain more attention for their books. Some authors have single-handedly propelled their books to bestseller status through traveling and speaking nationwide on a continual basis. Even if an author does not have the ability to travel and speak extensively due to other life commitments, dont overlook this important aspect of book marketing. Non-fiction authors usually have a built-in topic for speaking.

I have recently developed an introduction that is way better than the boring bio that is usually read by the person introducing me. But this time I hadn't even e-mailed it, so my organizer just had the bio from the website registration page. I hate the idea of boring the audience with yet another boring bio, formatted boringly with boring information about me they don't care about.

If you're serious about public speaking, at some point you'll be working with a program manager--the person who arranges events and speakers--to get yourself on a program. Stephanie's a beginning speaker who needs to establish herself with the people who can invite her to speak, but every speaker needs a working relationship with program managers to ensure the success of a talk or presentation. Want to get speaking invitations? May I see that information before I speak?

Last year, I realized that I was tired of handing out my boring bio to introducers and organizers. So I upgraded my bio to one that feels and sounds more like me. This is what I give to the person who is going to introduce me at a speaking engagement. And because almost everything in the bio is actually true (okay, maybe I didn't quote Shakespeare when I was three and have cleaned the bathroom once or twice), it does give a little insight into who I am.

I often talk about researching your audience on Speak Schmeak; without knowing your audience, you are in danger of delivering a presentation that has no relevance to the people in the room. When your presentation is irrelevant, confusing, insulting or dull, you lose (or never gain) the interest of your audience, and you will likely go no further with them in building business or retaining another speaking engagement.

In fact, you are onstage when someone is browsing your website to determine if they want to invite you to speak! Or do you have generic stock photos, hard-to-find contact information and a sketchy bio? Do you wash your car before a speaking engagement? When you get in front of your audience to speak, you should have already made positive first, second, third and fourth impressions.

Here are my priorities for your speaker page: Video of yourself speaking before a live audience: I don't care whether this is video from your friend's iPhone, or professionally shot video, but such a video (or several) should be prominently featured. Forget "shameless self-promotion."

This week I was given the task of beginning my search for an actual speaking engagement. I thought it would be easy to pick three places, but when I got started, I realized, I didn't know where I wanted to speak. This rose questions in my mind such as "Where do I want to speak?", "Who do I want to speak to?", and "Why do I want to speak to them?" So my advice is to gather information first--you don't need to sign up to speak right away!
