The Speak For Profit website was created back in June 2004.

Since then there have been over 965,000 visits to the site looking for information about public speaking.

The website was designed to help people who want to make money as a public speaker and includes advice and resources on how to get started in the business, be it part time or full time.

This revised version of the site coming in 2024 will continue to that goal with a new and improved focus on Public speaking.

If you came to this new site with a link from our the old SpeakForProfit and can’t find what you were looking for, feel free to fill out the form on this page to tell us what you were looking for and we’ll do our best to make it available for you.

My Story

About twenty five years ago I was sitting in the audience listening to a speaker I knew was paid over $3000 to deliver a 45 minute keynote speech at this specific conference. His fee did not include his plane fare, hotel or meals.

As I sat there listening I kept thinking, ” Hell, I could do a better job than that.”

I had spoken about 4 or 5 times a year for 15 or 20 years prior to that career launching night. While I had really enjoyed these speaking gigs and they had been well received by my audiences they hadn’t paid me well. I think the most I had received for a single speech was $ 500.

On that very night I made a life changing decision. I would do everything I had to do to become a well paid pro speaker and I would NEVER GIVE UP!

AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I DID.

In my manual ” Speaking for Profit and Pleasure” and some of my other resources you will discover the process I followed to establish my own public speaking career and become a well paid and frequently employed professional speaker.
