Why Speakers Need to Be Good Copywriters (and How to Become Better)

With Ray Edwards

What’s the link between copywriting and public speaking? On today’s episode of The Speaker Lab my good friend Ray Edwards joins us to answer that question.

Ray is one of the most successful copywriters in the industry and he shares how having solid copy helped him create a thriving speaking career. His early career days were in radio: as a DJ and in the corporate side.

However, he had the foresight to see the possibilities of the Internet and left to pursue online marketing, promotions and copywriting. Later his success in the online world would lead him into public speaking, a pursuit we talk more about on this episode.

Today, Ray offers his advice on how to use copywriting in the most effective way for your speaking business, how to test out your ideas, and how to integrate persuasion into your career. Listen in to hear all of that and so much more on this episode of The Speaker Lab!
