  • To begin, you have to do your motivational speaking for free. Build yourself up by giving free talks and lectures to group of people, organizations, and institutions. As your reputation grows, you will get invitation to share your experiences before an audience. If people find you effective, you can start charging them a fee and then you can turn public speaking as an occupation. Other speaker start by writing a motivational book first and then they get invited to facilitate workshops and deliver speeches to people who believed enough to the book.
  • You must be willing to invest your own money. At first, you may need to pay your own air fare and hotel accommodation when going to a speaking engagement. Then later, you can charge P5,000 to P10,000 for one to two hour talk. Once you have a more established name, you may charge P20,000 to P30,000 per talk. When you are already famous, you can charge as high as P50,000 for every speaking engagement.
  • To have clients, you must get in touch with people and organizations, and build relationships with them. Otherwise, people will not know about you. You can get in touch with People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP)
  • Speaking business and occupation is seasonal. There are certain period when speaking opportunities would be so little, so you should be flexible. The beginning and middle of the year is considered the high season for speaking.
  • Once you are established as an speaker, clients will come to you. However, you must still do some marketing. Inspire leadership does a lot of marketing, you should have presence in social networking sites like Facebook. Keep your contacts and communicate with them often so that they will know your whereabouts and schedules.
