Today's question is asked by Ailes.

And she asks about something that I've been doing a lot of lately,

something that I've fallen in love with, public speaking.

So here's Aalise and her question.

Hi, Pat.

This is Aalise from Aalysmichelle.com. I'm a personal branding coach where I help women business owners create marketing messages so they can sell more products and services.

So before I even ask my question, I want to say, I love your show. Absolutely love it. I founded it a couple of months ago,

and I started from episode one and worked my way up to them right now, episode 67. And so this is when

I really thought, I want to ask you this question. It's a little off topic about, you know, other than creating niche sites.

It's really about your speaking gigs, how you've been able to get speaking gigs.

I listened to one episode and you say that you like to gather testimonies so you can send out to event managers about how to get, you know, so they can

see, you know, how your audience responds to you. So I have no problem speaking in front of people.

I've been, I'm a college professor and I've been doing it for years. So public speaking has,

I have no problem with that. It's just, I don't know where to start. How do you get more speaking

gigs so you can be around your target market so you can just know who they are, what they're

interested in? And I'm, I don't want to get paid to do it right now.

I totally understand that.
