John Haydon, me, Estrella Rosenberg and Dan Michel presented on location-based services and marketing at the Nonprofit Technology Conference in March, 2011
Since starting my own business in 2011, I’ve focused on speaking and writing. To learn more about how I might help you as a consultant, check out some of the great companies I’ve worked with and the programs I’ve created on my About page.
Speaking
One of my first loves is public speaking. I enjoyed speaking so much and reading the great speeches of history that I studied rhetorical criticism and theory in college and graduate school.
One of my most challenging and memorable experiences was teaching public speaking in graduate school at Penn State. I don’t think I was ever more scared than when I walked into that classroom on the first day! It was trial under fire, but we all – students and teacher – learned something about the craft of public speaking that semester!
Since then, I’ve delivered a lot of presentations, especially on cause marketing and social media.
I’m happy to keynote your event, run a workshop or be part of a panel. We’ll negotiate a fee for my speaking and I’ll ask you to reimburse me for my travel expenses.
All of my speaking appearances include an interesting, knowledgeable, well-organized, prepared and humorous speaker. I throw in a charming Boston accent for free!
My most requested speech titles include:
Cause Marketing Isn’t for Dummies
Six Figure Cause Marketing
Promote Your Cause & Raise More Money with QR Codes
Sponsorship 101
A Couch Potatoes Guide to Inbound Marketing & Selling More Corporate Partnerships
Tech Tools Every Nonprofit Executive Needs to Know
Build Your Career & Help Your Cause with Public Speaking
I only talk about the things I know. My presentations are actionable, how-to, practical, forward-thinking and step-by-step. What you read on my blog is what you get – but you get it in person and personalized for your audience. Your audience gets a full set of slides and all the relevant materials they’ll need to get started the moment they leave the room.

Writing
I’m the co-author of Cause Marketing for Dummies and currently writing QR Codes for Dummies, Portable Edition, for Wiley Publishing. I’ve contributed to The Huffington Post, The Chronicle of Philanthropy, Mediapost: Causes, Forbes and The Nonprofit Quarterly.
I write regularly for Razoo.com, About.com and For Momentum.
Now I want to write for you.
I can do ghost or byline and I think my rates are reasonable: generally $150 for a 300 to 400 word post. I write about what I know: cause marketing, nonprofits, branding, tech, social media, mobile and how all these things link back to, well, cause marketing.
For everything I write I promise:
- To offer great ideas appropriate to your audience
- To follow up, and then leave you alone
- To be open to negotiating the article’s slant
- To do my homework
- To deliver clean copy
- To meet your deadline
- To hit your word count
- To be open to discussing edits and revisions
That’s my pitch. For more details, contact me at joe@selfishgiving.com.
Let’s work together in 2012. I’m already looking forward to it!
