Dear Future Public Speaker,

What you just read above is a real offer. FREE Public Speaking Coaching from me. (Shortly, I'll tell you how to qualify for it.)

Yep, some people will be smart enought to seize the opportunity and take me up on my offer... others won't.

And that's why there are two kinds of people in this world.

There are the winners. And there are losers. What makes the difference?

The winner has "tunnel like" vision and focuses like a laser on their goals - plus takes the necessary steps to make their dream a reality.

Sure, they have set backs (who doesn't?) but they learn from it and they move forward. (Crowd CHEERS)

The others "talk about it" and come up with every imaginable excuses as to why they "don't have the time" to learn effective public speaking...

Perhaps you've heard this drill before, "I really want to.... but... but... I'm busy... family obligations... next week... next year... I'm scared... blah, blah, blah..."

Now, if you're the latter... then I appreciate you coming by and checking out my website. I know
you have some more pressing things to do ...

And that's because my offer today is for the person who is either a) serious about getting over their fear of public speaking... b) wants to learn how to effectively use humor in presentations or c) wants to increase their profits through public speaking - or ALL three!

Last... but certainly NOT least, they LOVE the attention and the APPLAUSE that comes with this skill and they especially LOVE getting paid handsomely to do it.

Do I have your attention now?

Good! Because if you're a motivated person whose career is really important to you-- then you should read this letter. And that's because nothing can quickly turbo-charge your sales, give you expert status, take your business to the next level ... then effective PUBLIC SPEAKING.

Just think of the advantages:

You're in the ultimate home based business (with deductions)

You have NO boss breathing down your neck

You're paid what you are worth (or a whole lot more)

YOU choose the gigs you want to do! PLUS

FREE Travel is usually included within your fee

How do I know this? Because I've experienced it... and now I am going to show you how to do the same.

Hi... I'm Speaker - Humorist and Author Peter Fogel. During my stand up comedy and speaking career, I've held the attention of audiences of all shapes and sizes for more than 25 years. Young people, seniors, corporate executives, even sitcom studio audiences that consist of foreign tourists on such shows as Married With Children, Whoopi with Whoopi Goldberg, The Howie Mandel Show, Unhappily Ever After, Hope and Faith...

Perhaps you've seen me on late night television comedy shows like Evening at the Improv, Carolines Comedy Hour, Rick Dees Into the Nite, HBO's Comedy Central.

As a proud member of the National Speakers Association I have done scores of speaking engagements across the country for major corporations and associations.

Please know that I just shared my background with you NOT to brag, but to let you know that " I've been there... and done it"

And because I have - I know my years experience can give you the confidence to communicate with any group... any time... or any place! And to begin, I promise to help you

Conquer the #1 fear that people have!

And here's the shocking reality: Polls have been taken and the #1 fear that people have is Public Speaking. Know what's #7? Death. Believe or not, Public Speaking strikes more fear into people than death. What could be worse? Saying some parting words at your own execution? (But, I digress.)

Listen, I know first hand that giving speeches in public or giving professional presentations can leave you with butterflies in your stomach and your legs feeling like jelly.

Your mind can become cluttered and confused and your voice can race and somehow not convey the confident assured tone you had planned. No doubt becoming an effective public speaker can be a common source of stress for everyone.

So let me spell it out for you:

If you want to be considered a leader in your field and quickly brand your business and expertise... if you want long term business success and your income soaring... PLUS get your message out to the right audience at the right time - well, my friend, you're going to have to eliminate any public speaking phobia or stage fright you have (once and for all.)

And here's some uplifting news: Learn the " tricks of the trade" first... fine tune these techniques -- get the needed stage time - and you will! (PLUS have the time of your life doing it.)

Want Real Success? Want to play with the big boys?
Then learn the effective public speaking skills they know!

Here's an important point: I've studied the biographies of some of the greatest, most influential people of all time, and I've interviewed lots of successful business people who are at the top of their game.

Every one of these people have had one single thing in common -- each knew how to speak confidently in public and influence their audiences.

(Image getting these HUGE laughs during your presentation-- I can show you how on my DVD!)

Yes. Public Speaking is that powerful! In fact...

  • Studies show that 87% of a person's income is directly attributed to that person's ability to confidently speak in public.

  • There is a certain amount of respect that individuals receive when they can stand on their feet and convey their ideas effectively, because when they do this, they're doing what 95% of the people in the audience wish they could do. (How's THAT for power?)

But what about you? What do you think you can earn with the right training? How do you think your business can drastically change when using this persuasive skill with your targeted audience? And do you know...

The best part about public speaking? You don't have to be that good! (At least not in the beginning...)

That's right. Many of us have observed public speakers and thought to ourselves 'Wow, I could never be that smart, calm, witty, entertaining, polished."

Well, you don't have to be brilliant, witty, or perfect to succeed (in the beginning.) Like any other worth while skill that's important to you, you CAN overcome your fear of public speaking and become more proficient at it-- once you take the necessary steps and work at it.

And a solid first step is to get my Guide To Effective Public Speaking.

Yes, in the beginning you can be average. You can make mistakes, (it's expected) get tongue-tied, and even forget segments of your talk. In the beginning you DON'T have to be good! Just good enough.

Listen - if you can talk one-on-one to someone from the heart, and have knowledge you want to share... (get some public speaking coaching), learn and practice the necessary ins and outs of the profession that I teach you... then I GUARANTEE you can effectively talk in front of any size group.

Yes! You CAN become a public speaking pro and have the audience in the palm of your hand!

I want you to picture yourself RIGHT NOW feeling so confident in public that nothing throws you. I want you to imagine your creative juices flowing that you become so confident that can eventually create write your own speeches and presentations...

I want you to see yourself getting so jazzed because you are going to launch a new career and share your expetise with others... and most importantly, I want you know how it feels to speak to your captured audience in a calm, assertive, persuasive manner.

Passion & knowledge = BIG profits

Let's now discuss what what type of speaker should you be.

First off: There's no getting around it... persuasive and powerful public speaking comes with knowing yourself and the subject you’re giving a speech on. So ask yourself:

1) What is your business background?
2) What are your interests and hobbies that you have passion for?
3) What do you really know and are best at?

Now, if you answered the questions in detail then you can open a door to a whole new career as a public speaker.

You see, the quickest way to do that is to focus on becoming  "rich within your niche." So what are you really an expert at?  I am a copywriter and marketing consultant.

This is what I do daily. I am also a humorist/writer. I know how to empower people to take action, change their lives... using the power of humor.  

In both the above mentioned fields I have a track record and produce results. That’s why I feel very comfortable speaking on those subjects. I proudly “walk my talk!”  

But, this isn't about me. It's about you!

If you’re an expert on a subject with “real world” experience, or will put the time in to acquire the knowledge on your specific topic—then you can enter this rewarding field. (Warning: BUT only if you put the time in to "go for it!")

                        Let me “show you the money”

In fact, when I am hired as a platform speaker I some times don't take any money up front. That's because I make mine in the back end. And yet, I’ve easily earned $11,000 worth of copywriting and consulting work from it.

When I am a FEE based speaker (for a corporation) I earn between $3500 to $6000 for one 45 minute key-note presentation. PLUS I put into my contract that I can sell products in the back of the room as well. (Another $2500-$3000?) Well, you can do the same.

So can you see how this all adds up? And know this: there are plenty of subjects to speak on: sales, diversity, leadershop, humor, women's issues, etc.

Here's the rule of thumb: if someone else is speaking on the topic-- then there's an audience for it. You just have to -- that's right --- do your home work and discover your niche audience that will PAY to have you speak to them (and even then I will show you how to do that.)

Okay, by now you might be wondering...

Is my Guide To Effective Public Speaking
Right For you?

  1. It is if you need to prepare a speech or have one thrust upon you (at a moment's notice.)

  2. It is if you're an author, copywriter, business owner, consultant or any service professional who needs to land more clients and customers and want to BOOST your expert status.

  3. It is if you want your INCOME to soar with back of the room sales of your product or service-and want CLIENTS banging down your door!
  4. It is... if you want to learn humor techniques of the pros that will have your audience LAUGHING and APPLAUDING during your presentation! And...
  5. It ABSOLUTELY is... if you want the "nuts and bolts knowledge" to build a strong foundation with this craft in a high demand profession where you call the shots!

Just Say, "Yes!" And let me help

    Got Humor? Well, now you will once you view my...

A soup-to-nuts DVD that shows you the 'ins and outs' of how to effectively use humor in every speech you give (Value $47)

In public speaking if you're audience is "laughing" --then you know they're "listening." Humor is a very important ingredient that every speaker (beginner, intermediate--and especially a professional) should have in their presentation. Which is why I created this DVD, aptly called: How To Mesmerize Any Audience With HUMOR

This was a recorded live presentation that I gave to business owners. I "practice what I preach" and will show you, (even if you've never done told a joke before in front of an audience before), how to keep any speech or presentation alive with humor-that's juuuuuuuuuuuust right for you. (And NO, you don't have to be a stand-up comic to do it.)

Think Magician's are geniuses or any better than you? NO, EVERTHING - I mean EVERYTHING they do is a "trick" or technique that they've used over and over again and it's one that you can probably learn yourself.

Well, I'm going to show the "tricks of the trade" that humorists and comedians like Jerry Seinfeld use effectively. Once you break it down and understand why it works...You CAN do it yourself.

You will discover...

The secret of the "run" that'll ALWAYS get an audience to APPLAUD you after you do it.

How to immediately create empathy with your listeners so they LIKE you immediately-and LAUGH (at the right time.)

When's the best time to use humor for optimal results (The answer might surprise you!)

How to take a simple "old joke" and make it into an endearing and humorous story that works perfectly for your situation.

What HUMOR is effective... and what HUMOR you should avoid. (It's a no-brainer)

The secret of the "call back." All great comedians, speakers, and humorists use it. Why? (Because it WORKS!)

Yes, you'll WATCH me use each technique. Then I'll break it down and show you why it worked so you can get the same results! Plus there's something else I'd like to give you...

Five e-Mail public speaking "personal coaching" consultations
This is where you get to pick my brain. Here's why: I've written and punched up jokes for celebrities such as Academy Award Nominee Chazz Palminteri (A Bronx Tale, Bullets Over Broadway) as well as for the writing team of Blake and Jackson (The Adventures of Lois and Clark, She Spies) and for Columbia Tri-Star International Television. When I'm hired to consult or brought in as a "humor trouble shooter" I usually charge upwards around $125 an hour of my time.

So here's how I can benefit you: If you ever have a question about the public speaking industry or on how to effectively use humor in a speech ... or if you're offered a speaking engagement and need some feedback to fine tune your performance (or a little hand holding) ... then you'll receive a special e-mail address that's reserved for my coaching clients.

And get this: if I can't respond fully via e-mail-- then I'll consult with you on the phone. What could be easier?

So are you still wondering if I can help you become an effective and powerful speaker? Well, don't take my word for it... just read what others say about my public speaking ability... but more importantly: how I can help you with yours.
