Speaking Business Models: Pay-to-Play, Keynotes, Visibility, Competitions, Corporate Training, and Hosting Events, oh my!

The episode of Mic Drop Mindset breaks down major speaking business models and how to choose a fit. Jenn Espinosa-Goswami reflects on early, unprofitable experiences relying on Facebook groups and virtual summits, then explains 6 different speaking business models to consider on your speaking journey. These 6 business models are

1) pay-to-play/sponsored stages

2) the paid keynote/enterprise model

3) visibility or “free dinner” speaking

4) speaker competitions for “vicarious authority”

5) corporate training

6) promoter speaking (with a cautionary disclaimer about those who may promise more than they can deliver)
