Great idea. Can't make this time either. Ditto.

Hi, Leif! I am also a workshop presenter and recently found myself disappointed after national media attention didn't bring me any immediate work. I am still capitalizing on that attention though, by making sure to mention it in press releases, e-blasts, etc. It has definitely helped get my press-releases noticed.

I luuuv Karen's advice, too (gotta do that myself).

I also make it a point to present in places with a clear tie-in or a ready-audience, especially if the venue assists with the promotions (such as publishing the event in their own newsletter).

Also, it's often easier and much more lucrative to get hired to present somewhere (like a major high-tech firm) than it is to have to promote yourself and get people to come to you.

Hope this helps! I could use tons of help in this arena myself! Yeah for Biznik! ~C

Excellent, Barry! Very informative and user-friendly article! Thanks! ~C

Very cool! I'm excited. Can't Wait! ~C

Oh, Leila! This sounds soooo goood! I love the idea of learning to make something as well as general business trouble shooting. Thank you for addressing the introvert issue... it's what keeps me from coming to more events. Wish I could go, but I can't eat wheat dairy or sugar (brutal, huh?), and I would be waaaay too tempted!
