Get Paid to Speak — Even When the Event Can’t Afford You
Every conference needs breakout speakers — often dozens of them — and most of those sessions are unpaid. But what if you could turn those “free” opportunities into steady, predictable income?
In this power-packed session, Julie Austin, founder of Speaker Sponsor, reveals how speakers are landing sponsors to cover their fees, travel, and more — even when event organizers say, “Sorry, there’s no budget.” You’ll learn exactly how to get paid for every presentation, no matter how new you are to the circuit.
Duration: 1 hour
Free to Attend
(But What You’ll Learn Could Be Priceless)
What if you could get paid for every “free” speaking gig you landed — not from the event, but from your own sponsors? Would you like to learn how to turn unpaid opportunities into a reliable source of income and build your speaking career faster than ever?
In this webinar, Julie Austin, founder of Speaker Sponsor and author of From the King’s Court to Kickstarter: Patronage in the Modern Era, will share proven strategies to help speakers and creators make a great living doing what they do best — create. Thrive Global calls her approach “an idea that could change the world.”
Julie will teach you how to tap into the power of small-business sponsorships — a simpler, faster, and more personal way to get funded than chasing corporate sponsors. You’ll learn how to get sponsors excited to back you, how to approach meeting planners the right way, and how to turn every speaking opportunity into a profit center.
This webinar is designed for emerging speakers ready to stop waiting for paid keynotes and start earning from every event. Those afraid of new ideas, rapid growth, or getting paid for their passion — need not apply. Guaranteed to be fun, practical, and eye-opening!
At SpeakerMatch, we believe your message matters — and the more you learn, the better equipped you are to share it. This session is packed with practical strategies you can start using right away.
