Cover of PAID to $PEAK: How to Become a Professional Speaker, by Dr. Kevin C. Snyder

Where it started

The first book

Kevin first wrote about the speaking business in PAID to $PEAK: How to Become a Professional Speaker. Paid to $peak 2.0 is his new book on the systems and strategies behind a speaking career.

When Kevin started speaking, he had no strategy, and he nearly quit more than once. PAID to $PEAK lays out the process he learned the hard way.

It walks through the business of speaking in five modules: defining your goals and your signature story, building your program, finding speaking opportunities, setting your fee, and keeping bookings consistent.

It’s the exact system Kevin used to land 11 keynotes in 6 months, secure multiple state conferences, and build a six-figure speaking business in less than one year.
