Most speakers have a very dynamic style which sets them apart and makes them memorable. If you want to get paid to speak at events, here are some suggestions.
1) Take classes or workshops in communications or public speaking.
2) Join a non-profit organization which will help you improve your speaking and leadership skills.
3) Attend and enter speech competitions and observe how speeches are delivered to the audience.
4) Determine what type of speaker you wish to become: entertaining, motivational, informational or presentations.
5) Learn from other speakers by contacting them, observing their videos online (or purchase) or read other speeches that have become notable and lasting (examples: Winston Churchill WWII, Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, President Kennedy's inaugural address).
6) Begin speaking to local groups, clubs, or non-profits.
7) Contact local and regional speakers bureaus to get more information and possible speaking opportunities.
8) Advertise that you're available for speaking engagements on your website/blog.
Tips:
- Avoid using jokes that use race, gender, politics, or sexual connotations.
- Do not commit to speak for a group or on a topic that you disagree with or are not familiar.
- Words or phrases which are slang should not be overused.
- Don’t expect to become a world-renowned speaker in a year. This is a very competitive career.
