Thanks for your comment Julie. Yes, that’s the kind of paid speaking opportunity Linda talked about. It’s good experience for speakers without much experience because it reduces the risk for event planners of inviting a speaker audience might not know or like.

But, you’re right, in these situations it’s good to have some sort of options for monetizing that opportunity by selling products or at least getting people to sign up for an emailing list.

Noticed you’re a speaker, we have a project in development for speakers and I think you will find it useful: http://booktospeak.com

Thanks again for commenting,
