Speaking Your Brand: Public Speaking Tips and Strategies 132: 7 Reasons Why You Aren’t Getting Paid to Speak with Carol Cox and Diane Diaz [Money Series]
As we gain more experience as speakers and build our platforms, many of us want to get paid to speak.
But, we don't know where to start - or we're asking to be paid and hearing "it's not in our budget."
In this episode, I’m joined by one of our speaking coaches Diane Diaz to talk about 7 reasons why you aren’t getting paid to speak - and what to do to change it.
A few of the reasons may seem obvious (not knowing to ask to be paid in the first place), but some of them may surprise you and be ones you haven’t considered.
If you’re ready to position yourself as a paid speaker as well as generate more leads from your speaking engagements, get on the interest list for our upcoming Monetize Your Speaking online group coaching program.
This is a 3-month online, hands-on program that will help you find/refine your unique topic, create your speaking page, packages and fees, optimize your LinkedIn profile, improve your current presentation to make it more sales-driven, and position yourself as a premium speaker.
This is the first episode in our new series on Money.
