Energetic. Strategic. Profitable.
You’re Ready to go from Free to Fee-based Speaking
You know your stuff. Now it’s time to become a Paid Speaker.
You don’t need more visibility.
You need to close the Paid Speaker Visibility Gap.
Paid Speaker Connections is a free global community for diverse speakers who are already speaking, panels, workshops, keynotes, internal sessions, but aren’t consistently paid for the value they bring.
If you’re getting good feedback but no invoices…
If you’re visible but not positioned…
If you don’t know how to transition from free to fee-based speaking…
You’re in the right place.
Who This Is For
Action-Takers who are ready for their Paid Speaker Era.
This is for you if:
You’re an entrepreneur or founder who speaks regularly but hasn’t monetised it
You’re a TEDx speaker wondering what comes next
You’re a diverse speaker who knows you should be paid, but hasn’t cracked how
You’re tired of waiting to be offered a fee
This is not about confidence.
It’s about clarity, positioning, and action.
And you’re not behind.
You’ve just been missing the roadmap.
Why Paid Speaker Connections exists
I created Paid Speaker Connections because I was tired of seeing diverse speakers:
waiting to be paid instead of asking
being visible without being strategically positioned
delivering powerful talks… for free
There wasn’t a space to talk honestly about:
money and speaker fees
pitching and pipeline
walking away from the wrong deals
So I built one.
This is not a networking club.
And it’s definitely not a talking shop.
This is a community for action-takers who want to move from free → paid speaking with intention.
What happens inside of the community?
Inside Paid Speaker Connections, diverse speakers:
ask “what’s the budget?” for the first time
secure their first speaking fees
stop accepting low-value opportunities
build consistency, not guesswork
Proof this works:
Mercedes got paid after attending my Get Paid to Speak workshop
Sharon booked 7–8 speaking gigs in 3 months from my free advice
Small actions.
Real momentum.
How to go from Free to Fee-based Speaking
The Speaker → Paid Speaker Roadmap
Most speakers are experienced.
They’re just unclear.
That’s why your starting point is the free Profitable Speaker Brand Scorecard.
It’s a diagnostic that shows you:
where you are on the free → paid journey
where your gaps are (visibility, pitching, pricing, packaging)
what your next move actually is
Most people say:
“Oh. Now I see it.”

"Ekua is a true cheerleader, and this shone through in the LinkedIn workshop she hosted. She showed us how to develop an A-star profile so that it works for us. What stood out was the hot seat section where Ekua did a live review with tips to improve as well as the working session to update profiles in real-time. Thank you, Ekua—I'm sure this workshop will be the first of many."
