Why Do Public Speakers Make More Money Than You?
This
is a question that I get asked a lot: “Why do speakers earn so much more money
than you?” It is a fair question and it deserves a reasonable answer.
First, let’s look at why earning money has ever been
important to humans. In all the cultures of the world, people have always been
trying to improve the state of their lives by earning money or augmenting their
income. Personal Branding Course
We hear
stories about people who live in extreme poverty who still managed to send
their children to school.
Now, let’s say you
are in a similar situation to the poor people of the world. You have goals
you’d like to achieve. Wouldn’t it be nice to know that if you worked hard
enough, you would eventually get there? That someday you might be able to buy
your own home and have your own car?
Well,
if you’re like most people in the world, this is pretty much impossible. You
might earn a little bit of money here and there, but compared to what you’d
have to give up, giving up is a much better choice.
This is where the
importance of income comes into play for public speakers. These speakers can
actually command huge incomes simply by giving a speech.
In fact, some of the most
famous stars in the world earn their entire living from speaking, traveling, or
creating a company from their speeches. The same is true for authors, athletes,
doctors, lawyers, etc.
This raises a very good question:
How did the rich and famous get to where they are without any effort on their
part?
The answer is simple: They made
themselves rich through hard work and dedication. There are a lot of people in
the world who think that public speakers just come to speak, give a speech, and
then disappear into the void of oblivion. This could not be further from the
truth

In order to become a
speaker, you first need to learn how to speak. You need to practice your craft
and polish your skills until you’re perfect.
After that, you need to
build your portfolio, or your portfolio consists of all the speeches and
workshops you’ve ever given. You can also sell your speeches and writings
online, and network with other speakers and experts.
This way, when you give
a speech at an event, no one will know who you are or how much you’ve made
through your previous speeches and writings.
Once
you have built up your portfolio and your business, you can then use the
hard-earned money to give speeches and presentations.
Most speakers make
between six and eight thousand dollars per hour, so don’t let this number
mislead you. This is simply the tip of the iceberg.
The
best public speakers in the world make well over a hundred thousand dollars per
hour, which means if you were to ever do an interview on an evening news show,
and you were to compare the amount of money these speakers make to the salary
of an average college student, you’d find that these speakers would have made
much more.
