The biggest challenge faced by most professional speakers is marketing. When you're a pro speaker, you can actually lose sleep worrying how people are going to find you. And it does you no good to write brilliant witticisms when the only people who read them already know about them. (It's the social media version of preaching to the choir!)

Every serious pro speaker needs to be a member of Speaker Promo! As a member of Speaker Promo, you get multiple individual, full-page listings that you can place in either the Finders Speakers Showcase or The Barber Shop Bookstore (or both!) and you get over 2 dozen Wyze Words entries which you can use to dazzle and impress your prospective clients.

If you're a professional speaker, you owe it to yourself and your career to take advantage of the marketing and positioning opportunities offered by Finders Speakers, The Barber Shop Bookstore, and Wyze Words. Join Speaker Promo today!

Jim Barber is the creator of Finders Speakers, Wyze Words, the Speaker's Gratitude Board, Jim's Web World, and of course, The Barber Shop Enrichment Center itself.

Drawing on almost 4 decades as a speaking professional, 3 decades as an active member of Toastmasters, chapter liaison for the National Speakers Association, and president (twice!) of the Florida Speakers Association, Jim knows the ins-and-outs of effective presentations. And you can benefit from Jim's skills in a wide variety of ways, from speech writing, book editing, voice overs, and presentation coaching, to Jim's own seminars and keynotes.

Jim presented a TED Talk at the 2016 West Broward High TEDx. There were some technical problems in recording the audio (so it sounds like he's talking in a cave), but you can catch his TEDx Talk right here!

Jim has helped people at hundreds of companies and organizations around the world. How can he help you?

"Imagine how great you'll be!"

Do you have your own email address? It's so much more professional (and fun!) to give people an email address like "jim@thebarbershop.com" instead of "jimb4987@gmail.com". And you can do it for only pennies a day!

Do you have your own domain name, like "thebarbershop.com"? Maybe you think you don't need a domain name because you don't have a website. But are you absolutely sure that you won't ever want it sometime in the future? Here's the bad news — anyone can reserve a domain name using your name, and there's nothing you can do about it! So even if you don't need a domain name now, it's a good idea to protect your name (or your speech title, or the name of the start-up that you're going to launch someday, or the title of your future bestselling book... anything at all) from being "stolen" by someone else.

If you have your own website, is it secure? (That is, do you access it as "https://"?) Insecure websites have a higher risk of being targeted by hackers, and they're already being penalized by the major search engines in page rankings. Since you can secure your website for only a dollar or two a month, it doesn't make sense for your site to be unprotected!

At Jim's Web World, you can set up your own private email accounts, reserve domain names, secure your websites, and much more. For all your Internet needs, Jim's Web World is your source for the best in Internet resources!

Look at it this way... stopping someone else from grabbing "your" dot-com domain name for less than $10 a year is one of the cheapest insurance policies you can get!
