Your Own Seminar at Sea

By: Jose Anajero

The most rewarding way of cruise ship speaking is when you perform your own seminar.

So instead of the cruise line contracting you to lecture to their passengers, you provide the passengers and speak only to your own assembly.

This strategy needs more effort to set up in the first place but the profit potential is substantial. You can earn money from the cost of each cruise ticket purchased, the speaking fee you package into the total cost, the free tickets you will obtain for roughly every 15 individuals you bring on board, and the products and services you'll be able to offer your group at the end of your seminar.

Let's say you take a few cruises as an enrichment speaker.

You put up your list from the passengers that attend your presentations and stay in contact with them though an automated email followup system. Then, as soon as you're set to put on your own seminar, you already have a list of people who know who you are, have an interest in the subject, and be fond of taking cruises.

Success is just a matter of putting everything together and making it happen.

Here's How It Works:

o Come up with a subject you can speak about at length and that folks are willing to pay for to hear
o Pick a cruise line and program that will appeal to your target audience
o Craft an offer for a "you" cruise to your list where the cost of the seminar is bundled together with the cost of the cruise.
o Market as required to achieve your desired number of
participants.
o Plan your seminar schedule in such a way that it won't
conflict with the port days
o Give beneficial content in your seminar and hang out with your
participants at mixers and events on the ship
o Offer them your products and services before the end of the cruise

Why Seminars on Cruise Ships are Better than Seminars on Land

It's easier to get people to take a vacation than it is to attend a conference. As most individuals will be able to write off these instructive cruises, they are essentially taking a tax-free vacation.

Which would you rather do, sit in a cold bare conference room for days on end or take breaks between educational sessions to frolic on an island somewhere? If seminar attendance is a concern for you think about doing your seminar at sea and watch your registrations skyrocket.

People won't miss your sessions. On land, there are many distractions.
On a cruise ship, as long as you plan your sessions on sea days, you will find your attendance at or near 100%. Everybody can have fun when you are in port and in the nights, but during the sea days there is precious little to do other than bake in the sun. That's why the cruise lines hire enrichment lecturers for those days.
