How much do motivational speakers make? (Inspirational speaker salary)

[@JeffTheEntrepreneur]

Just got offered another paid speaking gig off my Amazon prime video. Time to get more serious about this. Good to see you.

[@TheCEOSpot]

That's great to hear! Congrats and good luck!

[@NIGHTWOLF-wu9on]

I’m becoming a motivational speaker for people with disabilities or as I prefer Uniquely gifted individuals and would like to thank you for giving me clarity on what I can do to better myself through this journey

[@TheCEOSpot]

That's awesome. I love that! Good luck I hope this gets you pointed in the right direction.

[@chrisweaver4268]

That's what I want to do too. I broke my neck 7 years ago and used to be paralyzed and now I walk with a cane.

[@s.patricklewis1189]

Glory to God. I broke my back 8 years ago and I too was paralyzed. I walk fine now no cane now walker

[@lindokmo7968]

My main goal is to motivate students from zero to old age to become more productive & proactive!

[@rosiebrooks7685]

Yes that's wonderful.

[@DrBakerOrthodoxBeliefs]

This was very informative. I want to be a 3rd tier speaker. I’m just beginning, I mean JUST beginning, and don’t really know where to start. Thank you for this video.

[@TheCEOSpot]

So glad it was helpful!

[@ChanelleMerchant-kd8cp]

Thanks so much for your helpful hints about becoming a very good motivational speaker.

[@DPNavigator]

I'm glad that I found this video. I'm been looking to find out how much you get paid for speaking for a while now because I want to be a speaker myself. I thank you for this video and explaining it in a way that is understandable. I appreciate it and thank you again for this information it is well worth it

[@TheCEOSpot]

So glad it was helpful. It's a great industry, but knowing how to navigate it is important!

[@DPNavigator]

@@TheCEOSpot Yes my goal for this year was to study more about speaking industry, get a coach, get on stage to speak, etc. but due to everything being shut down I start speaking with youtube videos.

[@Handsomeblindguy]

Thank you for sharing this information. Best of luck in all of your endeavors.

[@rvdreamer8855]

As a former pastor I have often thought of what I would do outside of the pulpit. It struck me that a lot of what I’ve speak on today has little to do with proselytization and more to do with practical living. Think I’ll look into this. Thanks!👍🏼

[@TheCEOSpot]

Glad you found it helpful! Good luck!

[@iHeartTJnMJ]

Thank you for these tips! They're so helpful and encouraging. =)

I really learned a lot from this video. You said he difference in price was confidence and practise. That really resonated with me thank you!

Thanks so much !

You're welcome! Glad this video helped ☺ Thanks for watching!

I want to tell my story I broke my back and I was paralyzed from the waist down but through faith and hard work I walked again. I have a message of determination and the will to win in the face of adversity. I'm a newly published author

[@TheCEOSpot]

Congratulations on your book. That is a huge accomplishment!

[@s.patricklewis1189]

@@TheCEOSpot I give God the Glory. Now it's time to tell my story and share what got me through

[@TheCEOSpot]

@@s.patricklewis1189 You might want to start with churches and faith based non-profits. There are also a lot of podcasts that would be a good fit for you. It is surprisingly easy to get booked on a podcast.

[@etsubdinkmelkamu9104]

I really wanna be a motivational speaker so even level one will do it for me as long as I’m on the stage inspiring a crowd

[@TheCEOSpot]

That's great. Maybe I'll make a video on how to start finding speaking opportunities. Would that be helpful?

[@etsubdinkmelkamu9104]

@@TheCEOSpot sure pls do 🙏

[@jessemenon837]

Hey Amy! I'm from India and I was very curious how much a relatively newer speaker would make in the US catering to schools and small businesses? Thanks!

[@TheCEOSpot]

I would say just starting out you could ask for 500 and get that fairly consistently.

[@tammyfouts1941]

@Amy Exits What is the person called that books the gigs for the motivational speaker?

[@p1consulting285]

Great advice...Thank you!

[@SethTheSpeaker]

Good stuff. I want to speak to veterans about transitioning and resiliency.

[@TheCEOSpot]

That is such a needed topic. Have you gotten registered as a minority and veteran-owned business? There are probably a lot of government contracts available. I'd check it out if you haven't already!

[@SethTheSpeaker]

@@TheCEOSpot not yet. I'm currently gathering as much information as possible so I can.

[@TheCEOSpot]

@@SethTheSpeaker I don't specialize in getting government contracts, but with the area you are looking to serve in, I'd recomend checking into it! They set aside a certain percentage of government contracts each year for special groups like women owned businesses, minority owned, veteran owned etc. And so many of those go unclaimed each year. The military will definitly hire through that channel.

[@SethTheSpeaker]

@@TheCEOSpot That's very encouraging. Thank you!!

[@MeghanRidgell]

This was so helpful! I have been looking for ways to profit off of what I do. I love it, but want to be doing this world full time, and needed to figure out how to profit off of it. Do you suggest setting like a “menu” almost? So the prices are the same across the board?

[@TheCEOSpot]

I suggest having a starting point where your speaking fee is standard, but be prepared to negotiate. For example, if they can't pay your full fee, they could buy books for their attendees. If you are offering consulting, coaching, or programs, you would want to have set packages. Reach out if you want to talk about your strategy and map out how to take your speaking biz full time!

Aw Much do motivational speaker earn?

[@jairussiriyalaofficial8922]

madam that's really good info, I wanted to be an inspirational speaker from childhood but procrastinated it, now I want to start my journey, and pursue my dream, can you please make a video or answer me in reply about what is the minimum educational qualification that would be required, if graduation is really required or (10+2), high school is enough as google search is saying? pls, reply madam. I would be very grateful for your experience and knowledge, please suggest to me, which course to do if required.

[@prestonfowler8077]

How do I start speaking as a motivational speaker?

[@TheCEOSpot]

If you've already perfected your speech, start with your rotary clubs, local church groups, volunteer to speak for sales teams. They are always looking for speakers. They might be free in the beginning, but you can use your first few to get referrals for paid gigs.

[@girlsrock4876]

What kind of speakers talk about personal issues like abuse, trauma?

[@TheCEOSpot]

I recommend having two "tracks." One that is an empowerment track where you use your experiences and stories to show people that they can overcome hard things. That will be easily applicable in Businesses, universities, entrepreneur audiences. And then you can have a track where you go deeper with overcoming abuse and trauma. The first track has more widespread demand and can give you the cash flow to really serve in the second. Abuse and trauma is more niched. There are paid speaking gigs for abuse and trauma. But there will also be a lot of volunteer opportunities. Having two tracks makes you more bookable for more organizations.

[@girlsrock4876]

@@TheCEOSpot Thanks so much for replying ma'am, I appreciate it. I have one more question, which is, Is there a specific state or country where speakers are in high demand?

[@TheCEOSpot]

@@girlsrock4876 Most speakers travel a good bit. So, I'd be looking for speaking opportunities all over.
