Would you do a one hour virtual Q&A for $2000?
When I got this offer in 2021, I thought it was a scam. đź‘»
You want me to get on Zoom? For an hour? Answer questions I know the answers to?
And you’re going to pay me how much?!
I had never been paid that much for something that easy.
Yeah, I know what you’re thinking…“well, Lex, you kind of have a history of underselling yourself.”
POINT TAKEN.
However, I had been speaking since 2013. I had been getting paid for it since 2018. With over 100 speaking engagements under my belt by this time, I was still stunned to get an offer like this.
I shouldn’t have been.
It took me YEARS to understand what I should be doing with my speaking career and I’m only just barely starting to. Even so, I get asked a lot about speaking, how to get paid for it and how to get clients from it.
That’s what this issue is all about. My top 4 lessons on talking out loud for money.
