I’m sure there are other things as a professional speaker that you are now doing that can be turned into a different type of presentation. We sometimes have to think outside the box.
Nowadays, building multiple streams in no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity . Having multiple streams of income is a wise marketing investment. You are not putting all your eggs in one basket by relying only on your public speaking marketing. Just relying on public speaking gigs alone is not a guaranteed formula of steady income or revenue streams. You need multiple revenue streams of income. You are creating a lifetime revenue stream for you and your family to leave a legacy.
Who wouldn’t want to rack up profits by waking up to an extra $500 to $1,000 dollars a week in your bank account as a motivational speaker. Cha ching!!
Yes, you can make a lot of money giving talks in person. The downside to that is, you must be present to do it. That can be time consuming. When you get on a plane and fly out of your city it can be costly. The hotel, food, and transportation costs can really add up. Plus jumping on a plane flying out to speak can be exciting in the beginning but it also can take you away from your family if you have one.
So what do you think? Can you add some of these revenue streams of income into your life right now? Leave a comment below and let me know.
