Do you do public speaking? Then you've got an automatic list machine!
Remember that in business, your fortune is in your follow-up. And publishing an ezine is the
easiest, most automatic, and least expensive way to do this for you. The key is getting as many
prospects on your list as possible -- ethically.
Whenever I'm the featured speaker at an event, I make sure to give the audience members an
easy way to sign up for my ezine. There are generally three ways to do this:
1. The Signup Sheet
Mention your fabulous ezine and all the good stuff it will do for them. Then pass around a signup
sheet to collect their names and e-mail addresses. At the top of the sheet, give an attention-getting
headline, a 25-word ezine description, and your privacy policy.
It's amazing what peer pressure will do --- it's rare you'll see someone pass on your sheet without
adding their name and e-mail! I even had someone who was already on my list sign up on the
sheet at an event. She told me later she didn't want to look like she was the only one holding out.
:)
2. The Presentation Notes
I've seen many speakers who use PowerPoint announce to the audience that they can get a free
copy of the entire presentation if they simply hand in their business card. Then as an aside, they
mention that you'll also get a free subscription to their ezine.
Sounds like a slam dunk, right?
However, when I've seen this in action, I notice that not everyone hands their card in, so this will
ONLY work well if you give a dynamite presentation and the audience really wants a copy of it.
3. The Prize Drawing!
This one's my favorite.
It's amazing how grown adults go nuts when the speaker announces she/he is going to give away
something for FREE. I swear you could raffle off toenail clippings, and people will climb all over
each other to get their business card in the bowl.

2. When I speak, I'm usually selling my Boost Business System
[http://www.ezinequeen.com/tutorial/index.htm], so what I do is first explain what that includes.
After I review all the benefits these programs bring, I pause, smile, and say, "Who here would like
to get this all right now... for FREE?"
This is when people jump up and go "Ooo, ooo, me! Me me me!"
I say, "Great, because I'm going to give away one now! Please get out your business cards, and
my assistant will come around and collect them. Make sure you have a chance to win! You'll also
get a free subscription to my award-winning Highlights on Marketing & Success ezine, which
will give you tips on marketing your business online and offline."
(NOTE: I want you to actually rehearse saying this so it's extremely smooth and confident.
Remember, they'll see your offer as YOU see your offer. You want them clamoring to get on your
list!)
If it makes you more comfortable, you can tell the audience that if they do NOT want to be
subscribed to your ezine, they can put a "NO" on their card. I did this for over a year, but I found
that during that entire time of speaking to thousands of people, only ONE person had ever written
"no"! So I don't even bother anymore.
My rule now is if you want the chance to win, you get signed up. Hey, it's tough love, but it's good
for them. My ezine could change their life! :)
Remember, people you meet in person will be your MOST valuable subscribers, because they've
already met you. And we're all more likely to buy from others whom we know, like, and trust.
