How to make it as a public speaker

Flushed with success from last night's London Corinthians meeting, I was asked afterwards by a couple of new members as to how one becomes a professional public speaker.

1. Learn how to speak. Joining London Corinthians or other Toastmaster International clubs is a first great stepping stone. After a period of time, you can join the PSA

2. Get a website

3. Learn how to market yourself. My colleague at the PSA, Graham Jones , has some great advice.

4. Start blogging!

"This shows he's got great intelligence"
Alvin Martin, talkSPORT

Jeremy is reliable and genuine, his manner and attitude has ensured excellent results on several events. I would have no hesitation in using him or recommending his services to others.
Daniel Rix, MD, Specialist Speakers

Thank you for your professionalism.
David Hines, MD, Videotile

Jeremy is the consummate professional. His clear and articulate style coupled with a dry sense of humour give him a unique broadcasting persona. He also has an apparent natural ability to ask pertinent questions in a conversational approach, particularly in his audio interviews.
Steve Wells, Director, Informing Choices

I met Jeremy about two years ago and enjoyed many coffees with him. He is one of life's connectors and understands the importance of sharing contacts and opportunities. He is amusing and passionate about what he does which are great attributes for his chosen career.
Ruth Simmons, Soundlounge

I was a guest on 'PressPlay', the excellent radio show on JCom radio hosted by the superb Jeremy Jacobs. I was talking about all kinds of stuff - my books, music, how far you live from your mum (yes, YOU)

What they say about Jeremy on the Internet, Facebook and Twitter

Always entertaining, Jeremy provides an interesting mix of the practical, personal, humorous and political on his blog. He has a keen eye for talented bloggers and shares his thoughts freely. All this and reports from Margate FC, what more could you want?
Colin Campbell

You're a pro. Wonderful stuff......
Simon Ellinas

Just a couple of months back, the presenter and public speaker Jeremy Jacobs didn't have a blog. Now, he has a vibrant, well designed, readable and interesting blog that is clearly attracting readers. In the time he has been writing his blog, his web site has risen over one million places in the Alexa rankings. Equally he is reaching more people with a substantial 300% increase. This just shows the power of blogging. Jeremy's site is a great example of what you can achieve - follow his example and you will clearly do well. In short, set up a blog, start writing and see your web site's popularity increase substantially and quickly.

Articulate and friendly, with a very keen sense of social responsibility and sociability, the East Finchley public speaker and radio presenter Jeremy Jacobs' sense of humour is also revealed through his blog work, such as in I can't talk, I'm on the Blog.
James Higham

Well, Jeremy you’re right I think you’re swell! Tisha

Jeremy Jacobs' blog is a fascinating mix of presenting, media, politics and humour. He writes with verve, irony and a dry wit. His presenting posts are always interesting to those of us who know absolutely nothing about it, but all of his posts are engaging and well worth a read.

The Tin Drummer

Jeremy Jacobs is taking action in response to tragedy and sorrow. If more of us had this sort of courage and commitment the world would be a better place:
I urge you to see this and take part in your own way. Cityunslicker

Seems to me that often blogging attracts those with superior articulation skills. You seem to be one of them.
Douglas V Gibbs

Jeremy,
I've got to try and get around the blogosphere as much as you do. It seems like everyone with a blog knows you.
Daily Referendum

Corporate Presenter
Here Jeremy Jacobs delivers his entertaining and insightful views on everything from politics to incompetent drivers with razor-sharp wit. But there is a serious side: Jeremy is a “doer” and this week he embarks on a Masaai Trek to raise money for the Breast Cancer Campaign. Jeremy lost his sister to the disease and has written movingly about this. I am full of admiration for someone who gets up and does something for a cause close to his heart and I’m sure we all wish Jeremy luck.

"Tonight I received my first communication from a proper person. It was none other than the estimable Jeremy Jacobs, prolific blogger, communicator extraordinaire and an all round good egg who was more than kind by providing a testimonial for this most humble home of bloggery".
Grendel-Grendel

Tx for your coolness!
Amy Engelhardt

I recommend Jeremy Jacobs because he is a good M.C. and connects easily with a crowd.
