I've done over 400 free speaking engagements for corporations, in exchange for the opportunity to promote my services (personal training). Now, I'd like to start doing paid speaking gigs. I've done 4 paid speaking engagements in the past, but they kind of just fell into my lap. I'd like to be more deliberate about it.
Hey there! This topic is what we at The Success Corps Academy specialize in. We get Speakers booked on Podcasts, Virtual Summits, and Live Events, including TEDx.
Step 1 is to create a problem only you can solve. You have to have a hook that people want. The bigger the problem you solve, the more money you can command. This is where you specialize, like we specialize in getting people booked to speak. Find out what problem you solve and drill deep into that, then market the problem, not the solution.
Step 2 is to condition the market to receive that problem. Sell the value of the results you deliver. People run away from problems and they want results.
Step 3 is to market your value. You do this through content marketing, guesting on podcasts, launching a podcast, launching a blog, launching a course, or launching a book. What can you give the audience they can't get anywhere else?
If you need more answers, I have an entire guide dedicated to this topic that consistently gets Speakers booked. If you want us to get you booked, we can do that too. Let's talk and see if it works for you.
