The Dos and Don'ts of Email Pitches for Speakers
With many in-person networking events off the table right now, email pitches are becoming an increasingly effective tool for landing speaking gigs. That is, of course, if you do them right. It’s so easy to accidentally say or do the wrong thing in an email pitch. That’s why I’ve put together these Dos and Don’ts.

Dominate Your Speaker Space
This week I’m talking about dominating your speaker space. Fact: Building authority in your field is what it takes to get you bookings, clients and sales. If not enough people know you or understand what you offer, this means not enough people trust you, either.
And without that trust, they won’t buy what you’re selling or invest in your programs.

Celebrating 100 Episodes of the Charli Jane Speakers Grow Your Speaking Biz Podcast
This week, I’m doing a little celebrating as I release the 100th episode of my podcast.
Nothing inspires me more than my family, members, and followers. It all comes together in this episode, with a twist.
In this episode, an exceptional guest turns the tables and puts me in the hot seat for a candid chat about all things Charli Jane.
We talk about how I started my speaker support services business nearly 2 decades ago. I share the inspiration behind the business, what advice I’d give to my younger self just starting and share tips on building a sustainable business while helping others to reach their own goals and dreams of success.
We dig into remote work and how to thrive when working completely online, too.
When asked if I have any regrets, you just might be surprised at my answer.
Also, I share the one thing each and every one of you who is stuck trying to launch your own business can do today to get unstuck and move forward towards financial freedom.
Thank you all so much for being such loyal listeners and readers and for all of the support over the years.
Without you, Charli Jane Speakers wouldn’t be the blessing it is in my life and to my family. You are the reason I do what I do each and every day.
