Transitioning from Free Speaking to Paid Speaking
One of my Charli Jane Speaker Club members recently asked this question:
“I’ve been speaking for free for over a year now. It seems that my free speaking attracts more free opportunities. How do I transition to paid speaking?” She said that her audience has been mostly women so far, but her message could speak to any gender. She continued to say that she has firmed up her keynote signature talk. She was very clear in her business focus: “My goal, for now, is to speak, get paid and find clients who want to do 1/1 coaching.”
I thought I’d share my answer with you, as it applies to so many of my listeners.

5 Ways to Make the Most Out of Your Speaker Website
I’ve worked with planners and speakers for 18 years and it is always a joy to come across an organized, neat, attractive website with everything needed easily at-hand. Anything less can seriously hinder your speaking career.
You have a few moments, minutes at best, to captivate a planner. If you make it frustrating they will move on. Make the hiring decision easy, and the gratitude will come across in bookings. Many times a planner will print an article or Onesheet to bring up before a board or selection committee.
Make sure yours are ready to go.

Find Your X-Factor To Go Beyond Name Recognition
What do you want to be known for? The fact of the matter is that people may not always remember your name in the speaking business. What makes you memorable is your message or the key thing that you do for your audiences. Once you know what that is, use that to become known for it and go beyond just your name alone.
How many times have you been asked if you know someone by name, only to have your memory jogged when the person asks you, “You know, the guy who does x”. X stands for whatever it is that makes that person stand out and memorable.

Marketing Material Madness
It’s nowhere near March, but it is definitely time for some madness. Time for some Spring cleaning, too - even though we’re into September now. What are we going to get to madly cleaning, you ask? Your marketing materials, that’s what.
Because let’s face it, time for some tough love here, some of the stuff you’ve been putting out there is getting tired. You’ve been riding on its momentum for far too long and it’s stagnated. You may not even realize it, either, because I get it, you’re super busy. And hey, this stuff worked for you 5 (10, 15 - yikes) years ago and got you gigs, so why change it now?

9 SMART Strategies to Rapidly Grow Your Speaking Business
In my work with Public Speakers and Meeting Planners, which spans almost two decades now, I have seen enough to know what works – and what doesn’t. There’s no secret formula, really, but there are insider secrets a lot of people won’t share with you for free. Not me, I’m a giver, and I’m going to give you my 9 top strategies for getting yourself booked solid this year.
Remember, you can add each strategy over time. Don’t try to do them all in one week or you will drain yourself out. And when we drain ourselves, we quit. I don’t want you to quit. I want you to keep moving forward. I want to see, more than anything, you succeed by getting you in front of the highest number of audience members possible.
Listen in for a roadmap to a booked solid schedule.
