We're living in a time when everyone is constantly plugged into their devices, in whatever form that takes. And along with that comes a more intimate relationship than ever with the programs and entertainment we engage with. Yet emerging speakers are also trying to align their viewing habits with content that benefits their business growth as branded experts and thought leaders. Until now, that's been limited to viewing random footage of paid presenters at recorded conferences on YouTube, or similar sites that host short clips of speakers onstage.
That content finding strategy has been fine if you want a surface level exposure to a mere sliver of what the professional speaking industry has to offer, or if you're just a passive viewer trying to get bite-sized doses of inspiration, entertainment or knowledge. But if you're already a speaker and you want to access the top level, cream of the crop speaking professionals out there, and learn from what they're doing (and teaching!),
this superficial approach simply isn't good enough.After all, world-class speakers don't typically release longer videos of themselves delivering paid speaking presentations just anywhere. You certainly can't go to YouTube and access an unlimited number of full-length speaking seminars from the industry's best and brightest talent for free.
But why not?
The reason why you can't get such unlimited, widespread access to seminar videos is pretty obvious to anyone who has sold their speaking services in any capacity. Simply put, a speaker's live presentation represents his or her intellectual property, and giving it away for free undermines the inherent value a speaker attaches to their content.
Why would a speaker charge a client thousands of dollars for a live presentation, but then simply turn around and offer the same content for free elsewhere? The answer is that they don't, which is why you can only find short teaser clips and related incomplete seminar recordings.
And that's exactly the way it should be. Speakers like you offer a valuable service, and it should always be treated as such.
These days, it's more common than ever to have Netflix-like services spring up across multiple markets. You have video streaming services for entrepreneurs, athletes and real estate agents. Heck, you even have a video streaming service for dog lovers, chefs, artists, bikers, car lovers and the list goes on and on.
But what if you could have a Netflix-like video streaming service for professional speakers?
After all, we're only as good as the professional development we have access to. We all learn by sharpening our skills, knowledge and abilities, and the same holds true for speakers and experts. And although we're currently faced with a situation where it's impossible to get out to live events, that doesn't mean that we're unable to access the speakers, coaches, and trainers that can teach us what we need to learn in order to grow personally and professionally.
Until now, no such service has existed. We've just never had something specifically made and intended to help professional speakers fulfill their personal and professional potential.
But thanks to the partnership between Inspiring Speakers Bureau and Seminars On Demand, that's all changing in a big way - and fast!
