Re: Subject: Re: Finding Places To Speak

**K*@aol.com**

There has been a lot of great advise here on where to speak and how much to  
charge.  As a 'new' southern gardener I have to start from the bottom of  the 
pile again when it comes to earning a reputation, but I do think it is  
important from the start to decide two things:  who you are willing to talk  to for 
free and how many of those per year you will do.
My personal criteria are that I will do local Master Gardener groups, and I  
will do seniors and local libraries for free.  Everything else is  negotiable, 
but is charged.
>From these conversations though I have found ideas for venues that i would  
never have thought of before.
 
Like many others I enjoy giving presentations rather than think of them as  a 
chore to be undertaken as part of my business plan,
