[Quick Tip] Are Free Speaking Gigs Worth Doing? - 305

Nov 21, 2024

“I’ve been approached to speak at an event, but they have no budget for speaker fees, should I do it?” … is a question I get asked a lot.

So, I say … “Firstly, that’s not a question I can answer for you … but here’s some ideas for how you can assess the value of an opportunity for you and your message, and how you can make low fee or free gigs pay.”

And those ideas are what I want to share with you today.

In this show I’m covering:

The problems arising from doing the wrong free gigs
Criteria for evaluating speaking opportunities
The possibilities available if you are strategic with free gigs
How you should position ‘free gigs’ for event organisers
What you should say to the audience even if it is a free gig
5 ways to make free gigs pay.

Enjoy!
