A question I get asked a lot is: How can I get paid to speak?
One of the best ways is to speak and present for free.
(This goes for both in-person and online presentations and trainings.)
Why speak for free?
- You build relationships with event organizers who can then recommend you or pay you to speak at future events.
- You get to know other speakers who recommend you for paid events.
- You can get video clips of you speaking to showcase your ability to deliver.
- You become more comfortable and confident with your material and delivery which results in you feeling more confident asking to be paid.
My guest today is Angela Hosking, who is a dynamic speaker and founder of Her One Tribe.
Angela was in our Monetize Your Speaking program last year and is currently in our mastermind.
In this episode, Angela and I talk about:
- Strategies she used to get her first free speaking engagements (that you can use too)
- The mindset shift Angela made
- How she used online summits and webinars to build her email list
- The opportunities that have come from the speaking she’s done, including ones she hadn’t anticipated
- What you can negotiate for when speaking
- Angela’s philosophy of taking small brave steps every day
