How Ramon Speaks for Free and Makes Money Doing It
Let's be VERY clear, getting paid DIRECTLY, as a professional speaker is important.
My speaking fee for the brands I work with is in the range of $25,000.
My clients include or have included Dell, Microsoft, Verizon, AT&T, Verisign, Rocket Lawyer, Zoho, Intuit, Samsung and other amazing brands who serve small business owners.
I also serve the audiences of many business associations.
Free Speaking?
So what about those free speaking opportunities, Ramon?
I'm on the board of directors of the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce, I've spoken for them many times "for free".
However, how am I paid?
The access, the connections, the networking is powerful.
Being around NYC elected officials and business influencers and more.
Yes, I speak for FREE, but the relationships nurtured and built are worth so much!
Everything we do in LIFE doesn’t mean we have to do it for a “transaction”. However, don’t miss out on opportunities to thrive just because there’s no direct payment involved.
Speaking for Fellow Creators and Entrepreneurs
Throughout the year I’ve spoken for many friends. Some of these are honorarium payments (not a speaking fee), others are for free.
Why do this? First of all, they’re friends. Second, we can help each other. Three, similar to my relationship with the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce, I can build relationships with THEM and their networks.
Speaking for Free Is a Mindset Shift
Again, absolutely you want to be DIRECLTY paid for your time or expertise in anything you do! You can be paid directly or by selling from stage and back of the room sales.
However, I hope I’ve opened your mind that speaking for “free” doesn’t have to be a dirty word. It really depends on WHO you’re speaking for and who’s in the audience.
You can turn that “free speaking” into a money-making opportunity
