Show Notes
Building a paid speaking career takes more than wanting a stage. In this episode, Rory and AJ share what it really takes to become a professional speaker. They talk about the reps, practice, strategy, and patience behind a speaking career that lasts, and why speaking for free can be one of the smartest ways to build demand when you are starting out. You'll learn why associations are one of the best places to get early speaking opportunities, how seminars and self-hosted events can create revenue before big keynote fees arrive, and why your speech itself is your most important marketing asset. Rory and AJ also answer a community question about how to transition from free speaking to paid speaking without damaging relationships. If you want to get paid to speak, this episode will help you understand what to build, where to start, and how to turn your message into real business. CLICK TO SCHEDULE A FREE BRAND CALL
