: Hi! What are the steps involved in becoming a paid public speaker?
: (Assumptions made: you are a great speaker and you've got a marketable presentation.)
If you are this far, you have probably also given 50-100 free presentations? If not, it's the best place to start.
Next, find out if there is a chapter of NSA - National Speakers Association - in your region. Attend the meetings!
A great book to support you is Speak and Grow Rich by Dottie Walters.
Best of Luck Jeff!
