Top 50 Speakers To Watch In 2023.
Merry Christmas and happy new years! Here is our new list for top 50 speakers to watch heading into the New Year. It’s been hand crafted while eating cookies and milk, sipping on egg nog.
If Santa where an event planner would he book you to speak? After reading this article you will no longer have to think about the answer. Today there are many paths to the big stages. It’s almost standard to speak for free for a while until you have enough material and content to demand the fee that you want. This list goes to show that when you choose to put on your own events, while having the right partners in place that greatness is on the way.
When your presentation feels like a gift for the audience it’s only natural for the universe to embrace you. It’s key to create your own stage time so you can ensure that you highlight your strengths. The marketing will be all the more easier from there. You’ll be able to bring in any fee you desire after a while.
Finding creative ways to monetize your message is essential when it comes to building and maintaining a speaking business in 2023. Albums are the anchor to the billion-dollar music business but somewhat an afterthought in the speaking business. Even though speakers have a message that needs to be heard by the masses.
Another way to speak of course is “selling from the stage” offering your product after your presentation. With this route you can very well make more than you would if you had a set fee, and it also opens up the door for a lifetime client. It’s rare that you are given the thumbs up to do both.
Now is a good time to take note on what is working for other speakers and make adjustments heading into 2023. Conferences book months in advance so it is kind of a big deal that you adjust if you want bookings this upcoming year. Adjustments are essential even when you are winning because there is always another level.
PS!!! Our team will be creating a free video to all of our former clients as a holiday treat. If this applies to you than email “Merry Christmas” to?[email protected] . You’ll then be put with one of our video editors on the team to discuss what you are looking for in your next video.
