How to Be a $10K Speaker: It’s Not What You’re Thinking
I’m going to be blunt with you. Because I care about you, and I know you’re very likely stuck in a traditional speaking career business model that has you thinking you already know how to be a speaker who gets $10,000 per event.
You’re working hard to build your platform, make those connections and work your audiences into a fan-frenzied following that you can tap into for the big speaking fees.
You’re probably thinking that someday, you’ll be able to ask for, and get, that kind of appearance fee while planners are lining up to book you years in advance, and smiling while they hand over those heavy checks.
There are some really good resources out there that will help a speaker get to that point, but I’ll tell you this: If you’re not famous already, or are the very pinnacle expert in your field, you will not get those kinds of fees starting out.
No planner is going to pay you that kind of money unless you’re a household name, famous, an ex-president, astronaut, etc. And, honestly, maybe not even then.
You see where I’m going, right?
That list could go on and on. But if you’re not on it already, you will need to think outside of that very narrow lane to get to your $10K payday.
Here’s the right turn you need to make. Get ready to put your blinker on.

16 Ways to Make Sure Your Speaker Video is Epic
Having a Speaker Demo video is as important as having a Speaker OneSheet.
Planners want to see you in action so they can connect.
They want to see how you interact with the audience and how the audience reacts to you. It can lead to an immediate hiring decision for the planner.
Today planners are looking to watch you before making a decision just like in the “olden days” when you sent a VHS or DVD to a planner in your media kit via snail mail. You don’t see this anymore and in its place is online video.
If a planner goes to your website they will look for a video 1st and the 2nd, your OneSheet, or vice-versa.
Right alongside the OneSheet they are also looking for your video, which should be easily found on your website.

3 Ways to Make Sure Your Images Get You Booked!
I have been working with speakers and planners a long time and have seen firsthand the gig-winning results of having the right images (online photos of you). The same is true in reverse, that planners will click away quickly to the next candidate, if they land on a page with certain types of images of you.
When chosen carefully to make the right impressions on the right people, your online shots can increase your bookings exponentially.
You must be careful to build a positive personal image which will be well-received by audiences. But sometimes you might forget that your images are spread virtually everywhere over the Internet. The physical person you present at the event is not always your audience’s first impression of you, right? Why is that? Simple searches online.
You are Googled, Binged, Firefoxed and more. You’re stored everywhere. Forever.
You do it, I do it, meeting planners most certainly do it. We research people before we do business with them.

56. Squirrel Syndrome: 7 Content Creation Cures for the Distractible Speaker

Hi there!
I want to invite you to our free Facebook group "Grow Your Speaking Biz" at www.SpeakingBizCommunity.com see you over there!
Ok on to the show ...
In today's podcast #56, I’m talking about "The Squirrel Syndrome: 7 Content Creation Cures for the Distractible Speaker"
I get it.
You’re super busy, scrambling in all different directions trying to build your reserves so you can finally rest for the Winter.
Okay, well, we both know speakers don’t rest for Winter, or Summer, or for any other season, but this is a metaphor I’m working on here, so hang in there with me.
Like our friend the squirrel, we creatives and entrepreneurs can get distracted quite easily by the next thing.
We can also get stymied by decisions or overwhelmed by advice on marketing and producing, so much so, that we stop thinking about the future, and we go into survival mode.
Survival mode is not where the joyful sustainability I want for you comes from.

Knowing how to be a good guest is key to so many areas in life.
Simple, common wisdom things like, don’t show up empty-handed, be on time, don’t outstay your welcome, don’t go on-and-on about yourself, mind your manners, and send a thank you note – all good, and timeless, advice that still rings true today. Even in the area of marketing yourself to podcast owners, knowing the basics of being a good guest counts.

52. 4 Ways to Avoid Social Media Opt-Out

Hi there! I want to invite you to our free Facebook group "Grow Your Speaking Biz" at www.SpeakingBizCommunity.com see you over there! :)
Ok on to the show ...
In today's podcast, I’m talking about "4 Ways to Avoid Social Media Opt-Out"
Go. Go. Go.
We are constantly on the move, busy beyond measure, and somedays, we know we aren’t even going to come close to getting everything done.
How do you make sure that your audience won’t opt out of your social media feeds, or worse yet, you opt out of this powerful marketing process due to a lack of time and focus?
Remember: Staying consistent when using social media builds trust and integrity. It also builds relationships with your audience on several levels which translate to engagement, and then, sales and bookings.
Leveraging your social media presence properly and effectively means that you can be everywhere at once. It also means you are in front of your audience when they have the time to check in with you.
It’s pretty powerful.
So how do you stay consistent with social media… how do you show up when you have a million other things to do?
What if you’re just not that into it?
