How to Make Money as an Author with an Incomplete Manuscript Part 1: Speaking


When I first came to Glenn Dietzel as a client of the Entrepreneurial Authoring program in May of 06, I knew nothing about sales and marketing.  I did not come to him with a business already in place.  I was totally “green” or “wet behind the ears.”   He told me I could make money from an incomplete manuscript using the methods I will share in this series, and of course I believed him and did what he told me to do.


One of the ways you can make money from an incomplete book manuscript is to get public speaking engagements.  Even if you have no desire to be part of “the speakers circuit” to sell your products and services that you create around your book, you will still need to hone your speaking abilities.
