Keep talking, talking talking...:-))
I just got a paid speaking gig through a referral from another contact. Then I did pick up a free one from the business expo I went to (along with 16 new names for my email newsletter)! Then, I finally got an e-women gig in Sacramento.

So just keep putting it out there...you never know what will come through. And I agree with Orchid -- give it away -- people only ever get a portion of what you say, but they will remember your generosity.
