Do you want to make more money speaking? If so, you're in luck! In this blog post, we will discuss four ways that you can DOUBLE your income in the next twelve months. These strategies are proven and effective, and they will help you take your speaking business to the next level. So what are you waiting for? Read on to learn more!
- Make a list of people who you know that need to hire speakers. Start by making a list of everyone in your immediate family, including cousins, uncles, and friends from school or work (but don't include anyone with whom you have had an argument). Then make another list for other people who might have hired a speaker before, such as the board of directors for a charity or conference planners.
- Get involved with your local speaking community. There are likely many groups in your area that focus on various aspects of public speaking. Attend their meetings, get to know the members, and start giving presentations yourself. This is a great way to meet new people, learn about new opportunities, and get feedback on your speaking skills.
- Start a blog or podcast. This is a great way to share your knowledge with the world and to attract new clients. Be sure to include information about your speaking services on your website and make it easy for potential clients to contact you.
- Actively participate on Twitter and Linkedin. The most effective way to land a speaking engagement is to have a conversation with the host and those who will support you with spreading awareness.
With that in mind, platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn offer great opportunities to connect with potential clients.
There are more than 600 million Twitter accounts in the world today. More importantly, many of these accounts belong to journalists and media outlets.
For this reason, public speakers can use Twitter as a way to generate speaking opportunities at conferences and events around the world. You can tweet your message directly to event organizers who might be looking for someone like you.
You can also use Linkedin Inmail, which is an optional paid feature for writing direct messages to people that you are not connected with and asking them about your topic of interest.
Be mindful that you are actually nurturing a relationship with the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operations Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, or Head of the Human Resources department directly.
TIP: Be sure to post interesting, relevant, relatable and valuable content, and make sure your profile is up-to-date and accurate.
So there you have it! Four ways to DOUBLE your income as a speaker in the next twelve months. Implement these strategies and you will be well on your way to success. Good luck!
