"Look around. You will find many speakers who gave themselves outrageous and immature titles. You can find the “best motivational speaker in all of Asia”, the “youngest motivational speaker in England”, or the most “entertaining motivational speaker in Malaysia”.- Jef Menguin
This line is from my post Forget the Title. After some months, I will still tell people who like to become inspirational speakers to heed this advice. I looked around and I still find many speakers, young and old, who invent taglines so funny you would think they are joking.
But they are not joking. They are serious. Because the taglines work for them.
Why?
There are people who are looking for inspirational speakers through the internet. Some have no idea about SEO, much more of black hat SEOs. These internet searchers have the mistaken idea that whoever is placed on top of the search engine must be the best. Never mind that all the claims about the greatness of the speakers came from themselves. Never mind that the claims are too good to be true.
Do not get me wrong. I am also on top of the search engines and I want to be there always. But if you desire to become inspirational speakers, I encourage you to make sure that you have the best intentions in mind. Consider your audience first.Do not waste their time by writing about how good you are. Instead write about subjects that can help your readers improve their lives.
Just do your best always. When you do, you won't have to worry about titles and SEOs anymore. People will surely find you.
