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

Turn Those Free Breakouts Into a Gold Mine

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!

Here’s what you’ll discover:

  • Why breakout sessions are a hidden goldmine for emerging speakers — and how to claim your share
  • How to turn a “free” speaking slot into a paid opportunity — every single time
  • The simple steps to finding and approaching sponsors who actually want to fund you
  • What to say (and what not to say) when pitching your sponsorship deal
  • Why small-business sponsors are easier to land — and often more loyal — than big corporate brands
  • How to handle meeting planners who say “no sponsors allowed” — and still get paid
  • Real-world examples of speakers who’ve built full-time incomes through sponsorships
  • A step-by-step game plan to start getting paid for your next speaking gig — even if you’re brand new


Who Should Attend:

  • Speakers looking to get paid for every presentation
  • Business owners who use speaking to promote their brand
  • Authors who want to monetize their message
  • Event producers interested in sponsorship-driven sessions
  • Social influencers ready to expand their reach through live events
  • Non-profit leaders seeking creative ways to fund appearances
