And if you’re a skilled orator, you can more quickly establish yourself as a go-to expert in your field. Plus, regular public speaking can exponentially grow your network of connections and generate a consistent flow of new leads for your business.

Entrepreneurs, and especially, speakers are often underserved by the DIY mentality and the seeming abundance of free information. Free information is free, but the cost of it to you is really high.
Only about 10% of individuals in the US report actually enjoying public speaking. As someone who wants to be (or already is) a paid professional speaker, you’re probably part of that 10%!
Using social media to grow your business isn’t “new” news by any means. Recent data shows 75% of marketers say their social marketing efforts have increased traffic and exposure for their business.
Hundreds of thousands of events, conferences, and festivals happen around the world each year, and the industry is projected to grow by 9% in the United States alone through 2029.
Yet, even with all those conferences, finding and securing consistently paid speaking gigs can still be a challenge.
Anyone can be a “speaker.”
But if you want to be a professionally paid speaker that is regularly sought after for well-paid speaking gigs…well, that requires a little bit more effort.
Here we’ve created the must-do start list to give you a solid foundation to grow your speaking business.
We all know someone who is a naturally gifted storyteller.

It seems like a lifetime ago since we’ve been able to gather in-person to listen to professional speakers captivate us with their ideas and passion.
