[Part 2] Booked Without Burnout: A Smarter Way to Land Speaking Gigs with Inbound Strategies

Wouldn’t it be amazing if speaking invitations just landed in your inbox - and with a speaker fee attached? The truth is, they can. In fact, many of my own paid speaking gigs (and our clients’ too) have come through inbound strategies - because we’ve intentionally set ourselves up so event organizers find us. This is Part 2 of my 4-part series on how to land more speaking engagements. In Part 1, I shared outbound strategies: what to do when you pitch yourself. In today’s episode, I’m diving into inbound strategies: how to position yourself so speaking invitations come directly to you. In this episode, you’ll learn:What your speaker page and LinkedIn profile must include so event organizers instantly see your credibility.Why being active in your local community and industry leads to referrals and repeat invitations.How delivering an amazing talk becomes your best marketing tool for stage-side referrals.Real client examples who turned one talk into many opportunities.
