What is the "GSG Complete Online Course and Toolkit" and How Will It Bring Me a Calendar Full of Highly-Paid Speaking Gigs?
Hey there, fellow audience-riler.
Highly-paid speaking gigs. The idea sounds great, right? Travel to incredible destinations, stay at incredible hotels and resorts, share your message with an enthusiastic audience, and then collect a huge check at the end? What could be better than helping people AND having fun AND earning game-show-contestant-like money?!?
Well, for starters, it would be nice if it were a bit easier to get into, yes? It seems like you're either in or your out. And if you're out, then it’s not easy to find your way in.
- Who books these gigs?
- How do you reach them?
- What do you say to these people so that you don't sound like an idiot?
- Why would they hire you when there are hundreds of other, more established, more experienced speakers available?
How can you possibly break into an industry like paid, professional speaking if you've never done it before?
When I was 27, my oldest daughter was born. I was a professional freelance magician doing between 300-350 shows a year all around the United States. I liked the money, but hated being away from her for so long.
I knew that public speaking was the second highest-paid activity in the world (next to pro athlete.) If I could book speaking gigs instead of magic gigs, then I could earn three times as much while working 90% less.
BUT...
I Had ZERO Credibility!!!
- I was a college dropout.
- I had no real work experience (the mall job didn't count for much)
- I had no useful knowledge or skills (except how to work a raccoon puppet.)
- I hadn't written any books.
- I didn't have any letters after my name.
- I had never done a single speaking gig - paid or free.
- I was still in my 20's.
- I was shy, depressed, and decidedly UN-motivational.
- I had no natural speaking talent.
- I had no budget (Exhibit A: the tuxedo t-shirt and plastic top hat.)
- I had NO IDEA what I even wanted to speak about!
How was someone like me EVER going to become a top corporate keynoter?
But My #1 BIGGEST Problem was that Over 80% of Planners Say they Only Hire Speakers they've Personally Seen Before
So, How Does ANY SPEAKER Get that All-Important First Gig???
This is the "plan" I saw most speakers following:
- Beg anyone and everyone to let you speak for free.
- Wait for "word-of-mouth" to kick in.
- Practice your speech some more.
- Join Toastmasters to count some "ums."
- Wait for the bureaus to call.
- Post some quotes on social media. Waste 40 minutes scrolling aimlessly. Go back to see if the little numbers next to the little hearts went up. Repeat.
- Get some new business cards made just so you can go to all the networking events that you hate.
- Google speakers who are more successful than you. Get depressed.
- Decide to start a podcast. Spend months researching. Quit after 2 episodes to start a blog instead...then a YouTube channel...then a Facebook page...then a...
- Fill out 279 "Calls for Speakers." Get ZERO calls from planners.
- Send your "weekly" email newsletter out once per month. (To twelve of your friends.)
- Nag a few meeting planners on LinkedIn. Demand an explanation when they don't hire you. Deal with the restraining order later.
- Max out your credit cards on an expensive web site, 1-sheet, and sizzle reel.
- Obsess over article marketing, SEO, networking, PPC ads, branding, postcard marketing, and every other DISTRACTION that comes along.
- Go to a speaker's association meeting and find someone to whine with about the speaking business being "all dried up."
Seriously?!
How About a Big, Fat, NOPE!?!
This is what pisses me off. It's as though the guru's who teach them this stuff don't remember what it was like to start out.
There's no way that stuff was going to work for a no-name like me with no budget, no web site, no demo video, no prospects, and no hope of any prospects!
(SPOILER ALERT: I obviously found a workaround. That's a pic from my first paid speaking gig!)
Here's how I did it:
- I found targeted groups who were HOPING to hear from speakers.
- I convinced dozens of them to let me speak for free.
- I did NOT wait around. I did NOT cross my fingers and hope. I did NOT waste my time on stuff that only worked thirty years ago. Instead, I did 39 very specific things before, during, and after each free gig to get a pile of leads who have SEEN ME SPEAK or know someone who has.
- I followed up with them using a separate, systematic process and booked me some paid gigs!
It worked insanely well and insanely fast. I started in October, I was standing on stages in November, and I had booked my first paid gig by February.
I went from absolute zero (not even a speech or a speaking TOPIC!) to paid gigs in less than five months.
This is What the Difference Looks Like Graphed Out...
Now Things are a Little Different.
A thousand bucks a gig is nothing to sneeze at, but that first gig was only the beginning.
Here are some "humble brag" milestones I've hit along the way. (Don't worry, I won't use the cheesy "not to impress you, but rather to impress UPON you" line...)
- Regular gigs at 5-figure fees plus first-class air, ground, and lodging.
- Hundreds of media appearances.
- A major book deal with Penguin Random House.
- Dozens of Fortune 500 clients.
- A TEDx talk.
- Multiple six-figure income.
- Exclusive representation from a top speaker's bureau.
- And all the creature comforts of a cushy speaking business.
I Know, I Know...Most People Don't Have the Same Experience. Here's Why:
When I first started teaching other speakers my Keynote Acceleration Method, I quickly discovered some common mistakes people were making. Some failures were obvious, but some I didn't expect.
- Some didn't know how to find the right organizations for step one.
- Some weren't doing ANYWHERE NEAR 39 things at every gig to get leads and paid gigs.
- Others were blowing it in step four's follow-up phase.
- Some tried to get too creative and ended up just complicating things.
- Some got so wrapped up trying to write the perfect email, script, or come up with the perfect tool that paralysis by analysis set in and they got nowhere fast.
- But the biggest reason some failed was they didn't have THE PLAN!
Introducing the Get Speaking Gigs COMPLETE Online Course and Toolkit!
Your direct line to highly-paid speaking gigs
After personally working with hundreds of speakers, tweaking the process, troubleshooting and foolproofing, addressing every single issue that came up (and doing much of the dirty work for them,) I'm excited to announce that I've packaged EVERYTHING into the Get Speaking Gigs Complete Online Course and Toolkit.
It's an online course and toolkit with over 100 bite-sized and action oriented video tutorials that take you by the hand and walk you through every step of the process. There are downloadable .mp3 versions so you can listen while you're driving or working out. There are tools, resource guides, checklists, fill-in-the-blank worksheets, scripts, templates, and so much DONE-FOR-YOU stuff that you'll be able to hit the ground running faster than I ever did.
There are EIGHT steps (not just the five discussed here) that set you up for long-term success. This is all about getting you consistently booked at high rates - not just having a good month.
It's everything I know about booking a calendar full of highly paid speaking gigs.
But it's not about the "stuff" that you get. It's about the years of experience and thousands of embarrassing mistakes and lessons from the lost gigs along the way. It's about skipping that part where you waste years following the traditional "bad guru" advice.
If a highly paid keynote was like your favorite meal, then the Complete Keynote Accelerator isn't just the "recipe" for cooking up keynotes from scratch. It's more like having a top chef show you every step of the way - oh, and giving you all the ingredients.
Course Highlights:
- STOP COLD CALLING! I mean...you can if you want to, but there are plenty of other methods for doing outreach that are taught in this course.
- The 7 Biggest Reasons why most other speakers are still missing out on huge amounts of money every month – but they’re oblivious to it. They just keep blaming the economy, or technology, or whatever. You’ll know the truth, and what to do about it.
- The ENTIRE Keynote Acceleration Method (including the $12,000 piece of paper, the 39-item action checklist for turning any gig into multiple gigs and paydays, and the full eight-step, long-term plan for speaking success, and way too much to fit here.)
- The career-saving “Topic-Picking Method” with all the worksheets, brainstorm guides, most-booked topics lists, and insights from someone who knows the industry.
- How to come up with the PERFECT speech title that gets you booked and packs the room (including dozens of examples and fill-in-the-blank formulas.)

- What to include in every program description that will make meeting planners weak in the knees for your speech.
- A secret ninja-hack for finding content and creating a speech that is a GUARANTEED winner.

- How to save thousands on a demo video that will STILL blow away the competition's.
- Piles of proven strategies for uncovering CRAZY amounts of leads so you can be as busy as you want to be. I can find quality leads in the same way an aardvark can find an underground nest of termites. I’ll point to the motherlode. You dig.
- Forget about “paying your dues.” I’ll show you how to be the kind of “overnight success story” that the other speakers are jealous of.
- How to attract massive swarms of loyal "fans" and then how to get booked, re-booked, and referred by your new friends.

Matthew Neely

"I have just been asked to give a keynote at one event, AND...a workshop and keynote at another. One is in August and the other is for January. These are both highly paid as well as the first two paid presentations from using Tim's system."

"Tim's put together an amazing program that's an absolute must for anyone wanting to break into the speaking business. He's walked the talk, and really delivers!"
John Kaplan

"Tim David is AMAZING! He has the uncanny ability to take something as mysterious and guarded as the public speaking world and make it templated step-by step easy to break into and succeed in no matter what your experience level is. I came into his program knowing little to nothing about the field and left with an action plan and more knowledge than 99% of the population. I have no problems saying that, if applied with action, Tim David can lead you to an extremely successful speaking business."
