For My Toastmaster Friends In Hendersonville

Here is what I want you to do.  I want you to go to Blogger. com and start a blog.  Here is a link to a You Tube video to show you how.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2QvwgaECps&t=300s   If you don't like this video, pick another one.  There are several.

Blogger may not be the best blogging platform.  It is better than the one you are using now based on the hands I saw raised this morning.  Get started.  Blogger is easy to use.  That is paramount.  Blogger is simple enough that you can get started blogging now.

Write your first article.  You have plenty of talent and ability to write an article about why you joined Toastmasters.  Here is a link to the article I wrote last Wednesday after our meeting.  http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2017/09/the-easy-way-to-learn-presentation.html   Read this article.  I am certain that you can write an equally articulate article describing why you joined Toastmasters.  Tell us why you continue with Toastmasters.
Public Speaking is a skill.  Just like riding a motorcycle is a skill.

Put a link to Four Seasons Toastmasters in your article www.fourseasonstoastmasters.com  Every time that link appears on the inter net , it increases our Google juice.   Also put a link to www.toastmasters.org in your article.   That is the website for Toastmasters International.  Websites like that are called "Authority websites"  When you have links to authority websites in your article, it increases your Google juice.

Use keywords in your article like presentation skills, public speaking skills, toastmasters, give a speech, fear of public speaking.   Keywords are words that we hope someone will put into a Google search bar.  Try to imagine, as we did at this morning's meeting, what word or phrase people will put into a search bar.  Use those words.  Use those KEY  words in your title.  "Eliminate Fear of Public Speaking With Toastmasters in Hendersonville"  "Improve your Presentation Skills With Toastmasters in Hendersonville"  " Free Practice For Your Public Speaking Techniques in Hendersonville"   These are good titles because if someone puts in any of these words into a search bar, your article is coming up.  Titles are important.  Cute titles are cool but those Google robots do not recognize cool.  They recognize key words and phrases.

Use key words in your article. public speaking, presentation skills, fear , free, enhance your career, leadership training, Go read some of my articles on my blog.  You will notice that most of my articles are about getting a real estate license.  I am in the real estate school business.  I never use the phrase "get a license" .  Instead, I use the phrase "get your North Carolina real estate license "   Brevity may be the soul of wit but it is not the soul of search engine optimization.  "Get a license" will convey the thought to a human reader.  "Get your North Carolina real estate license " is more interesting to the Google robots.  We need to write to please both.

After you write your article, go to Facebook and tell your friends that you wrote it.  Give them a link to it.

Here is something you can do right now to help us promote Four Seasons Toastmasters in Hendersonville, North Carolina.  Go to your Facebook page and tell your friends that you learned something at the meeting this morning.  Put a link to our website.  Then go to my article http://rondclimer.blogspot.com/2015/10/hendersonville-north-carolina.html   Post a comment.  In your comment, put a link to Four Seasons Toastmasters' website.  As a general rule, posting a website link in an article comment is considered SPAM.  If the author of the article says it is OK, it is OK.  Every time our link to our website appears on the inter net, it increases our Google juice.

Every time someone goes to a search bar and types in "Better public speaking skills in Hendersonville", I want us to come up.  If they can find us, we will get more members.  This is a group effort.   I look forward to seeing you all next Wednesday morning at 8 AM.  in Hendersonville, North Carolina.  I also look forward to reading your first article .  Email me a link to it.

The Easy Way To Learn Presentation Skills in Hendersonville, North Carolina

     Good public speaking skills will do more good for your career than any other single skill that you can learn.  The ability to speak to a group from a podium is not hard to learn.

     Most people spend their entire career with a fear and no experience in public speaking.  I believe that this is true because most people have no idea what a valuable skill public speaking is.

     Fear of public speaking is the number one fear in America.  One reason this is true is because most people have zero experience with standing in front of a small group of people and speaking to them.  All of their fear comes from their imagination.

     Many people imagine that the audience will not like me.  They imagine that the audience will not smile at me.  They imagine that the audience won't accept me.  All of this is in their imagination, not reality.  They have no experience to verify or disprove their imaginary experience.
Public Speaking Skills will enhance your career 

     Wouldn't it be great if there were a venue where a rookie speaker or a speaker wannabe could get experience and training in a safe, comfortable environment?   If there were such a place, would you be interested in learning to be an excellent speaker?

     There is such a place.  It is your local Toastmasters club.  www.toastmasters.org   There is a Toastmasters club in your city.  Why should you join?  Why indeed?   You should join because the only purpose of Toastmasters is to teach their members speaking and leadership skills.  It is not a class that you take over six weeks.  It is a club you can participate in for as long as it benefits you.  I have been a member for twenty eight years.  The dues are $120 per year.  The return on your investment is ten thousand per cent.

     If you spent a couple of years in a Toastmasters club, you would develop extraordinary speaking skills.  What could you do with that skill?  I can tell you what I did with it.  After four years in Toastmasters, I tripled my income.  I never went back to my old mediocre income.  Today, I earn my living standing in front of a room teaching people to change their life.  www.firstrealestateschool.com    Joining Toastmasters was a good decision for me.  Joining Toastmasters would be a good decision for you.
