(If you do, you\u2019ll end up with lots of content, and you\u2019ll be able to meet the time requirements\u2014but trust me, you won\u2019t end up with a <i>good <\/i>persuasive speech.)<\/p>\n<p>Instead of just randomly writing about the topic, develop a persuasive focus.<\/p>\n<p>If you were writing about graffiti, for instance, you could write about why graffiti is actually art rather than vandalism or why graffiti needs to be cleaned up in a specific neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>In my example, I chose aliens as my broad topic, and I\u2019m going to narrow my topic to the existence of aliens. That is, I hope to persuade my audience to believe that aliens exist. But I could be even <i>more <\/i>specific and try to persuade my audience that television and movie aliens are based on <i>real <\/i>aliens already on Earth. (Who\u2019s to say Spock isn\u2019t an actual extraterrestrial on our planet?)<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve nailed down your focus, It\u2019s time to start developing the nuts and bolts of the speech.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 3: Outline the Main Ideas of Your Persuasive Speech<\/h2>\n<p>After you\u2019ve narrowed your topic, <b>outline the main ideas<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>When developing the main ideas of your speech, first consider whether you\u2019re required to complete research.

You can also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/graphic-organizers-for-writing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">try a graphic organizer<\/a> to visualize ideas.<\/p>\n<p>You can also simply write a few notes to help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/6-prewriting-strategies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">get your ideas rolling<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>For example, I might list the following as my main ideas about the existence of aliens:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Water is necessary for life, and water is present on a number of planets.<\/li>\n<li>Astronauts (who are trusted experts) have reported UFOs.<\/li>\n<li>Scientists have established the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These ideas give me a starting point for each of my main body paragraphs and function much like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/good-topic-sentences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">topic sentences<\/a> because they give me a direction for each paragraph.<\/p>\n<h3>Supporting your claims<\/h3>\n<p><b>Next, I\u2019ll need to fill in the rest of the paragraph with <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/3-types-of-essay-support-that-prove-you-know-your-stuff\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>evidence to support my claims<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In my case, I\u2019d need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/writing-a-research-paper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">evidence from the experts<\/a> to help me explain the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>where (besides Earth) water is present in the universe, and why this means that aliens could exist;<\/li>\n<li>which astronauts reported UFOs, what they reported, and why this is credible evidence of the existence of aliens; and<\/li>\n<li>details about the SETI Institute, its origins, and its purpose, and why the mere fact that the institute exists means that scientists believe there is life beyond Earth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After sketching out these rough ideas, I\u2019m ready to write a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/rough-draft-mishaps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">draft<\/a> of my speech (and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/how-to-avoid-plagiarism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cite my sources<\/a> according to my assignment guidelines).<\/p>\n<p>I would, of course, start my assignment early enough so that I would have time to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/how-to-revise-an-essay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">revise and edit<\/a>.

Teens want style. While cost <i>can <\/i>play a factor, for the most part, as long as the shoe is trendy, you\u2019ve appealed to their basic requirement.<\/p>\n<p>Now think about creating an ad campaign for casual tennis shoes for older adults. While style may play a role, older adults are more concerned with cost, durability, and comfort. If you can convince older adults that a tennis shoe is comfortable, you\u2019ve hooked them. Even if your shoe is a little more expensive, they\u2019ll be willing to hand over their hard-earned cash in exchange for some comfy kicks.<\/p>\n<p>See how using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/ultimate-guide-perfect-word-choice-essay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the right language<\/a> and the right type of appeal (such as ethos, pathos, or logos) is necessary in order to convince your audience?<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"blog-cta-simple\">\n\t\t<div class=\"blog-cta-simple-cont\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"blog-cta-simple-header\">Stuck on Your Persuasive Essay?<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"blog-cta-simple-desc\">Check out these example persuasive essays.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"blog-cta-simple-input\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"blog-cta-simple-cont-btn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"btn btn-warning\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-examples\/blog-landing-persuasive\" target=\"_blank\">Yes!
