Should you PAY to speak?

There are 3 different ways to get paid to speak:

(Thank you

@Eric Howell

for asking this question)

Get paid a speaker fee.

This is what most people think of when they think of being a paid speaker. But when you’re starting, this will be rare

2. Speak for free.

This is very common when you’re brand new, but how do you monetize? It’s done through having a giveaway. You’ll give your ebook away in exchange for emails, then add those people to your email list. You’ll nurture them through email, then eventually sell them your products.

3. Pay to speak.

This is called a sponsored stage. It makes sense if:

You know how many people are in the room

You know how many of those people will get your free thing

You know how many of those people will buy

You know the average value of each purchase

And if that final number exceeds the cost of the stage.

AND/OR

if you’re getting a valuable service in return, like footage, photography, etc.

Post your other questions!!
