We'll explore everything from the initial planning stages to the vital post-event follow-up, and I'll share some of the lessons I've learned from my own experiences along the way.

Running your own speaking and training events is a bit like throwing a party where you're the DJ - you're in charge of the vibe, the guest list, and best of all, you're the one who can make it a profitable gig. You get to decide the ticket prices, how much you want to spend on the event, and even how big or small you want the whole thing to be. This means you've got a lot of room to work out how to make the most money, whether that's from ticket sales, getting some sponsors on board, or even selling some cool merchandise. Plus, you get to call the shots on what the event is all about. You can choose topics you're really into, craft the content to play to your strengths, and shape the whole experience to reflect your own style. It's a pretty awesome way to stand out from the crowd in the speaking world and deliver an event that's not just enjoyable for your audience, but also puts some extra cash in your pocket.

Selling, whether it's our services, our ideas, or ourselves, can be intimidating. It's not uncommon for even the most experienced speakers to get anxiety when it comes to selling.

In this episode, we're gonna discuss why finding speaking opportunities is easy when you speak for free or low fee. 

One of the biggest things that I hear from speakers when they're talking about opportunities that they've missed is that they didn't have the budget for me, or they offered $1,500 and we just couldn't make it work, et cetera.

Now, most professional speakers have rates that they charge, and in the market I'm in, there's just not as many opportunities to get those rates, especially after Covid. It limits your opportunities and only certain audiences can afford to see you. And from my perspective, that's not what I want. 

When you speak for a low fee or for free, it opens a floodgate of opportunities for you to get on stage.

If you've ever been to any courses about speaking, you'll already know about all the processes regarding what you need to do to work with a speaker booker, the chats you'll need to have to learn about your audience and ways that you can make their life easier.

This episode is NOT about that! This is the stuff on top of that that you need to do to make money.

In this episode, we're going to look at "Where's the money if you speak for free or low fee?' In speaking, the key thing is to think about is where the money is. When I speak in a room like that, I see those as future potential clients or connections to future potential clients, or alternatively I can sell my services or products to the audience. It all depends on the room.

Why speak for free or low fee? I love Zig Ziglar and Zig said, "You can have everything in this life you want. If you're just help another enough other people get what they want."

Speaking for free allows us to actually help a lot more people than if we speak and we're get paid top dollar. In this episode, we're going to cover a few reasons for that and why it is extremely profitable to not charge or speak for a low fee.
