Often, new speakers don’t take into account the additional costs of maintaining their business. What happens if you hit a dry spell with no bookings for a few weeks?

In this guide we explore how to factor these costs into your fee, how to research events to find the right fee for the event, when to offer discounts, and when you should, or should not, speak for free.
