I’m a professional public speaking. In fact, While trying to build a startup and support a charity, I have made my living out of keynotes, talks, and workshops in the past four years.

Many of us weren’t prepared for this pandemic. Many of us said we would do an online course, offer webinars, and expand their services to the virtual realms, but many failed to realize that this scale crisis can happen. I have gathered some hard-learned lessons that might help you patch through this pandemic without losing your business.

  1. It’s obvious, but — enhance your online presence.

If, for some reason, you don’t have a website yet, build one today. There are many simple options out there that do not require programming skills or paying a professional. I used Squarespace for my website. Still, recently, I have discovered the beautiful Tilda.cc. There are many more like the famous Wix.

Those are free for limited facilities but cheap and straightforward monthly subscription fees.

2. Go live, Go online, go now.

Many of us don’t like webinars, It’s an old-fashioned way to create traction, leads, or gain new crowds. But in today’s age, there are many ways to reinvent this old trick and make it your own.
