After you have found the perfect spot, you want to shop for a shallow bowl that matches your decor. The garden section is a good place to start, though remember that the bowl must not have a hole in the bottom as most planters do. A ceramic bowl, or a terra cotta bowl is an excellent choice.
3
Next, pick out some rocks or stones that you like. The smooth ones are lovely and come in an assortment of colors. You need enough to fill your bowl.
4
A water feature cannot work without a fountain pump. They are usually found in the garden section of popular Home Improvement stores. The best pump is the small fountain pump (Beckett is an excellent choice) that is 120V, 60mz, and 4 watts. The pump comes with a little piece that fits in the spout, however, if you find you need more height for the flow, you may have to get a piece of tubing that will fit in the spout. Most likely, you will not have to get tubing.
5
When putting your water feature together, place the fountain pump on the bottom of the bowl in the center. There are suction cups to keep the pump in place. Fill the bowl with rocks and cover the pump. Make sure to leave room open around the spout for the water flow.
6
Fill the bowl completely so the pump is submerged and the water covers the rocks or comes to just under the top layer. The water flow is adjustable. You might want to do a test by the sink when you first plug in your fountain to avoid spraying water on your furniture. The flow does not have to be strong. A bubbling effect is lovely, and you can move the rocks to enhance the sound and flow.
7
The plug will drape over the side of the bowl towards the back and is usually not noticeable, however, you can hide it with the use of artificial plants.
8
Make sure the flow aims towards the room and not out the back. That will help to bring wealth and prosperity into your life.
Are you knowledgeable about a specific product or service? Do you have information at your fingertips that is important for others to know? Determine what it is you are an expert at, and seek out a venue for your event. It could be an office meeting room, hotel lobby, restaurant banquet room, or someone's backyard. All you need is a place, time, date, and chairs, and you are all set.
2.
Promote your free lecture through fliers, emails, Facebook, Twitter, and businesses that compliment what you are going to speak about. Having a catchy title might pique their interest. For example, an exterminator could promote a free lecture called, "I've Got Ants in My Bed!" and speak about getting rid of pests. Maintaining a sense of humor tends to draw a bigger audience.
3.
The following steps makes giving your lecture easy to do. Use this outline when preparing your speech.
a. Thank your host and guests for coming.
b. Give your reason for the free lecture. ie. "I want you to know how you can live on $1.00 a day."
c. Share your personal story.
d. Give the information. This is the meat of your lecture.
e. End with a special offer, a chance to purchase items or materials, or if your talk is spiritual in nature, ameditation.
4.
Free lectures are an excellent tool for kicking off a new line of products, giving information about changes in taxes or programs, or gathering a group of like-minded individuals. Your business will flourish, your speaking abilities and self-esteem will blossom, and opportunities for future speaking engagements will become readily available.
