Motivational speaker: Ideas to get started?

Post Reply New Topic

I am looking for ideas on how to start a motivational speaker career after my year in AmeriCorps VISTA is over in late July?

I'd start by planning a speech on what it is you want to talk about. Then find a venue that hosts public speaking, such as a college. Then talk to them about it, and see if your topics are acceptable for that venue, and for that matter, if enough people will show up to listen to you, so it's worth their time.

Star writing a motivational blog, make motivational YouTube videos, create a website with you available, figure out your target audience, go to places where your target audience is, introduce yourself and ask if you can offer a presentation sometime. You might also want to try going to church and asking if you can speak there.
