Kevin Snyder - How To Become A Professional Speaker: PAID to SPEAK!

Thank you for purchasing PAID to $PEAK: How to Become a Professional Speaker !

This book will share how I got started in professional speaking, and more importantly, it will outline a step-by-step blueprint for you that has enabled me to speak for over 1,000,000 people across 1,150 audiences in all 50 states and around the world. I was able to quit my full-time day job as a Dean of Students and live my dream job as my own boss. I am confident you can do the same by following the roadmap Ive outlined for you.

Audiences I speak to range from students to corporate groups, from associations to nonprofitsand all in between. Because I have been asked to speak for practically every industry I know exists, your target audience(s) are likely groups I have previously spoken. Therefore, I am confident that the content in this book will equip you with the resources, guidance, templates, strategies, and motivation needed to build your speaking businessand get PAID doing it .

PAID to $PEAK will provide you with the knowledge and process to launch a speaking business. All you need is the passion and discipline to work through the entire book. Be prepared to read this book with a pen. Its a workbook that allows me to be your virtual speaker coach and help you customize and build your own speaking business along the way. If you complete the exercises, you should have speaking engagements by the time you have finished reading!

SPECIAL BONUS for action takersyou have 30 days from your date of purchase (list deadline date here: ________________) to receive a FREE coaching call with me to ask any questionsvalue $250! All I ask is that you read the book and provide an Amazon review before scheduling your call. On the final page of this book are directions for how to schedule your call.

Some readers inform me they read completely through the book (not completing exercises) and then later re-read portions to work through the exercises. This strategy is fine, especially if you find yourself getting stuck in certain areas. But in order for an event organizer to hire you for speaking, they will need from you what Im sharing in this book! By speeding through the book and not completing the exercises, youll be short-cutting your own future speaking business.

T his book is not only the product from over 20 years of my own professional speaking experience, but also hundreds of questions Ive been asked by aspiring speakers along the way. Theres not a speech that goes by where I dont have someone asking me how I got into speaking and how they can too. I wish my answers could be simple, but they are not. Hence this book to outline my strategies for you!

In this book I am sharing a step-by-step process to help you do what Ive done. I believe what I have done is replicable as long as youre coachable, follow my blueprint and are committed to taking action, consistently.

I wish a book like this existed when I first started speaking. As you will read in my Preface, I didnt know what I was doing, and I didnt seek out help. As a result of struggling, I doubted myself, made lots of unnecessary mistakes and nearly quit on several occasions.

I have read dozens of other books on professional speaking and found significant gaps in what they try to share. None of them outline a blueprint model that guides the reader step-by-step. None provide templates and free resources that Ill be sharing with you in this book. Reminder: visit www.paidtospeak.biz/worksheets for access to these resources. (password: paidtospeak)

Professional speaking is a business, and if you are willing to treat your speaking like a business, you will attract business results. Im living proof. Im also here to help you.
