From Chaos to Cohesion: Mastering Unity in Your Speaker Marketing

Those who've already worked with me will know that I firmly believe speakers are marketers first and speakers second. The problem is that many speakers, in their effort to be everywhere all at once, are a little all over the place.

There's no UNITY in their marketing.

However, to be successful as a speaker, you must ensure your content is on point and CONSISTENT across the board.

How Does Imposter Syndrome Affect Speakers, and How Can You Overcome It?

Have you ever felt like you don't deserve your accomplishments, despite working hard to achieve them? Or perhaps you've had a nagging feeling that you're not as good as people think you are, and you're just waiting to be exposed as a fraud?

These are just some signs of imposter syndrome, a common phenomenon affecting all kinds of people, including speakers. It's something I've had to get over myself as a business owner, and it might creep up on you if you're starting your speaking journey and not yet an established authority in your niche.

Let's explore imposter syndrome, including how it might affect you as a speaker and, most importantly, how you can overcome it to become a more confident and effective speaker.

6 Ways Speakers Can Make Money Without Charging a Speaking Fee

While building a speaking business is a great opportunity and career path, there's an unavoidable time and work investment to make it a reality.

Only one in a million speakers will give one or two talks and suddenly become a viral sensation commanding tens of thousands of dollars for their speaking services.

For the rest of us, there will be years of work, including speaking for free in the early stages to get your name out there. But budding speakers I work with are often shocked by how much money can be made without ever collecting a dime in speaking fees.

Are Podcast Appearances Still a Relevant Promotion Strategy for Speakers?

With so many ways to achieve my mantra of "being everywhere, all at once," some of you might wonder what the most effective strategies are for building your brand and your speaking business. In short, you want to know which marketing and promotion tactics will deliver the most bang for your buck.

Is it guest blogging? Blogging on your speaker website? Or going crazy on your social channels? What about podcasts? Are they still a thing?

Yes! They are very much a thing. They are one of the best activities you can do to build visibility and showcase your expertise.
