On demand
The Paid to $peak online course walks you through Kevin’s speaking business model in five video modules. The webinar series goes deeper on the parts most speakers have to learn the hard way. Watch when you want, where you want, as often as you want.
The online course is built on Kevin’s book, PAID to $PEAK: How to Become a Professional Speaker, and works alongside it. Every video is on demand, so you move through it at your own pace.
Kevin’s view is simple. A goal is step one. Step two is finding the system that closes the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Step three is applying it. The course is that system, laid out module by module.
It’s for speakers, coaches, trainers and consultants who want to use the platform to grow their business, whether you’re new to speaking or already presenting professionally.
Each module has its own videos, checklist and slide deck. Here’s what each one covers.
Where to begin, the many ways speakers get paid, why great speakers solve problems, how to differentiate yourself, and how to find your call to action.
Debunking speaker myths, the elements of your program, how to create a speaker one-page, tips for designing your presentation, and how to find practice opportunities.
Finding speaking gigs, how to do outreach, speaking to students, how to get referrals, and branding yourself.
Going from free to fee, knowing when to charge, how to set your speaking fee, the three-tiered speaking proposal, and Kevin’s five-step process for contracts.
Staying motivated, finding the right support, ideas for showing client appreciation, finding a mentor, and setting realistic goals.
