My Action Plan: Presentation Writing

Presentation Writing

1. Your Route and Eight Essential Answers

Pacing

Follow the seven-day starter journey. The faster First Money Move is optional; keep its goal without rushing permissions or safety.

A finished sample, a clear proposal and honest feedback are progress. A sale, platform acceptance or earnings are never guaranteed.

1. What am I selling?
One presentation outline with concise slide copy and speaker notes for an agreed audience and speaking time; design work only if specified.
2. Who will buy it?
Business owners, consultants, trainers, speakers, and organizations preparing workshops, webinars, meetings, or talks. Start with the specific customer and deliverable below rather than offering every possible service.
3. Where do I find those buyers?
Ask a speaker or workshop host about one upcoming talk and its intended audience action. Show a self-authored outline, not confidential slides from another client.
4. Which software and tools do I use?
Organize approved material into an opening, three to five points and an ending in Google Docs; move concise copy and notes to Google Slides if included.
5. How do I create my first product or service?
Plan an opening, three to five main points, and a clear ending. Fit the content to the available time. Read aloud with a timer instead of guessing the speaking length.
6. Where do I publish, list, or promote it?
Deliver the approved files privately through a named-recipient Google Drive folder or the agreed marketplace order. Promote only samples you have permission to share.
7. How do I get paid?
Charge for outlines, slide copy, speaker notes, or a writing package. Agree on length, slide count, revisions, and any design work. Set the fee and payment stages in writing; verify actual funds in your own eligible business account.
8. What should I accomplish in my first seven days?
Finish one manageable presentation writing sample or authorized task, check its quality, approach a relevant customer and record the result without assuming a sale.

2. Where to Find Customers and How the Transaction Works

A focused first customer

Ask a speaker or workshop host about one upcoming talk and its intended audience action. Show a self-authored outline, not confidential slides from another client.

Steps

  • Organize approved material into an opening, three to five points and an ending in Google Docs; move concise copy and notes to Google Slides if included.
  • Read aloud with a timer instead of guessing the speaking length.
  • Verify every claim, story permission and source reference.

Getting paid: Charge for outlines, slide copy, speaker notes, or a writing package. Agree on length, slide count, revisions, and any design work. Agree price, included work, due dates and any expenses before proceeding; a sample or inquiry is not a paid order.

Safety: Do not invent the speaker’s personal stories, research or credentials. Use permitted visuals and protect confidential business material; substantive expert claims need owner review.

A clear transaction and handover

Once there is interest, write down exactly what is included: One presentation outline with concise slide copy and speaker notes for an agreed audience and speaking time; design work only if specified.

Steps

  • Confirm speaking time, audience, outline versus slide design, speaker-note depth, delivery file types and revision rounds before quoting.
  • For a direct service, use an eligible business invoicing method such as PayPal: create an invoice, identify the customer and deliverables, review charges and terms, then send. Follow marketplace payment rules for marketplace sales.
  • Keep one main idea per slide and ensure notes support the speaker’s voice.

Getting paid: Check fees, availability, tax and refund obligations for your location and channel. Track received payments separately from quotes; never rely on a payment screenshot or pay to unlock a customer payment.

Safety: Check activity-specific licenses, insurance and local requirements with the relevant authority before accepting work. No platform listing, tool account or sample removes those obligations.

3. Your First Offer, First Customer, and Tools

Your first offer

One presentation outline with concise slide copy and speaker notes for an agreed audience and speaking time; design work only if specified.

Find a relevant person

  • Ask a speaker or workshop host about one upcoming talk and its intended audience action. Show a self-authored outline, not confidential slides from another client.
  • Prepare the smallest useful demonstration: Confirm audience, topic, speaking time, and purpose. What should people know, feel, or do afterward?

Show useful work and agree the next step

  • Read aloud with a timer instead of guessing the speaking length.
  • Confirm speaking time, audience, outline versus slide design, speaker-note depth, delivery file types and revision rounds before quoting.

Adapt this permission-based introduction: “I am starting a presentation writing service. I can offer: One presentation outline with concise slide copy and speaker notes for an agreed audience and speaking time; design work only if specified. Would that help with something you are planning? I can discuss scope and a written quote; there is no obligation.”

4. Seven-Day Starter Plan: Days 1–4

A sale is never guaranteed. Your milestones are finished work and honest answers.

  1. Day 1: Get the presentation brief

    Objective: Select one manageable starting task.

    Tools: Brief, permission notes and the starting supplies above.

    New to this? Do not invent the speaker’s personal stories, research or credentials. Use permitted visuals and protect confidential business material; substantive expert claims need owner review.

    Finished when: One defined task with permission and a realistic scope.

  2. Day 2: Gather the speaker’s material

    Objective: Gather the details needed before creating.

    Tools: Confirmed facts, original materials and an approval checklist.

    New to this? Confirm speaking time, audience, outline versus slide design, speaker-note depth, delivery file types and revision rounds before quoting.

    Finished when: Required details confirmed or outstanding questions clearly recorded.

  3. Day 3: Build the outline

    Objective: Make the first workable version.

    Tools: The creation tools listed above; a safe practice copy.

    New to this? Verify every claim, story permission and source reference.

    Finished when: One complete small sample or working version.

  4. Day 4: Write slides and speaker notes

    Objective: Test the actual result before showing it.

    Tools: Final export or task result; the agreed acceptance checklist.

    New to this? Review the actual delivered result, not just the editor view. Fix errors before making a paid promise.

5. Seven-Day Starter Plan: Days 5–7

  1. Day 5: Review and deliver

    Objective: Request feedback or make the authorized offer.

    Tools: Reviewed sample, written scope and permitted sharing or delivery method.

    New to this? An inquiry is not an order. Wait for clear agreement before spending customer money or expanding the work.

    Finished when: An offer, approval request or documented feedback sent to the appropriate person.

  2. Day 6: Complete the agreed next step

    Objective: Resolve feedback without expanding scope.

    Tools: Approval notes, delivery checklist and payment records.

    New to this? Do not invent the speaker’s personal stories, research or credentials. Use permitted visuals and protect confidential business material; substantive expert claims need owner review.

    Finished when: An approved result, clear revision list or improved sample.

  3. Day 7: Record the result and plan the next attempt

    Objective: Use actual evidence to improve.

    Tools: Worksheet, receipts and customer feedback.

    New to this? A quote is not income. Include fulfillment costs and refunds where applicable; this simple cash log is not tax or accounting advice.

    Finished when: A factual result record and one specific next action.
