Your 24-week roadmap to getting paid for what you know

Over the next six months you'll build a business around your expertise — landing consulting, training, and retainer clients. The goal is simple: three steady clients at $2–3K/month. Speaking, podcasts, and writing are how we get you in front of buyers. The contracts are the business.

Powered by the SpeakerFLYWHEEL™
Cohort 1: Tue, June 23 → Tue, December 8, 2026 · every Tuesday & Thursday. We break for Thanksgiving (no session Thursday, Nov 26).

By graduation, you'll have

A repeatable system to land 3+ retainer clients — roughly $5–6K/month — without depending on anyone else to find them for you.
Positioning, proof, and offers that make you the obvious, AI-proof choice in your niche.
A full pipeline — outreach, follow-up, and discovery calls — that you know how to close yourself.
A weekly operating rhythm you can run in about 10 hours a week, plus a 90-day plan to keep growing.
No bureau. No cut taken.

Your relationships, your bookings, your revenue — all yours, always.

Systems beat talent

Experts who build a system get paid. Experts who wait to be discovered don't.

Credibility compounds

Every talk, review, and case study makes the next client easier to win.

How the weeks work

A simple loop every session

We Learn it together, you Implement it on the call, you take it to the market that week, then we review the Feedback and what your Testing turned up. One thing at a time — each step stacks on the last.

Model before you modify

Try it our way first. Your audience is different from everyone else's, so your version will already be unique — no need to reinvent a system that works before you've run it.

You won't do everything

We'll cover a lot of tactics. You only run the ones that fit your business. Raise your hand for an alternative anytime — there's always another path.

Miss a week? No problem

Every session is recorded and easy to find inside SpeakerHUB. Life happens — catch the replay and keep moving.

FAQ

Everything You Need to Know About SpeakerHUB

What is SpeakerHUB?

SpeakerHUB is a visibility and outreach platform for speakers and experts.

It combines:

- A professional SpeakerPAGE that acts as your electronic press kit (EPK)

- A leads database (podcasts, associations, conferences, media)

- Simple tools for outreach, follow‑up, and lead capture

So you can be your own agent and run a repeatable SpeakerFLYWHEEL instead of waiting to be discovered.

Everyone starts with a full‑featured trial so you can actually use the tools and feel the system working with your own pitches and responses.

We’re not a speaker bureau or booking agency; we give you the tools and leads so you (or your VA) can run the system.”

How does SpeakerHUB help me book more speaking opportunities?

SpeakerHUB helps you in three ways:

1. You look bookable in one click.

Your SpeakerPAGE is structured like an EPK, highlighting topics, audiences, past stages, proof, and contact info – exactly what planners and podcast hosts look for when they compare speakers.

2.You stop waiting and start pitching.

With SpeakerLEADS and SpeakerGPT, you follow a simple weekly rhythm:

- Pitch targeted podcasts, associations, conferences, and media

- Track replies and follow‑ups in SpeakerCRM

- Use SpeakerQR to capture leads from rooms and interviews

3.You run the SpeakerFLYWHEEL.

Over time, the system is built to support a cadence like:

~1 podcast a week

~1 association talk a month

~1 conference a quarter

~2 articles a year

We can’t promise specific bookings, but we give you everything you need to consistently create and convert opportunities instead of hoping someone finds you.

What if I do everything and still don’t get any invites?

If you use all the connects in your account for 90 days – sending pitches, following up, and replying – and you don’t get invited to a single podcast, stage, small group, or large group, we’ll refund your subscription.

The guarantee covers invites, not bookings or speaking fees.

We don’t control your calendar, your topic choices, how you negotiate, or any event’s budget, so it wouldn’t be honest to guarantee bookings or revenue.

Once you’re invited, your calendar, sales skills, market, and the event’s budget determine what happens next. Our job is to get you into real conversations; your job is to turn them into revenue.

Will event planners actually discover me on SpeakerHUB?

Some will – and we treat that as a bonus, not your main strategy.

Here’s how discovery really works:

- Your SpeakerPAGE often ranks on the first page of Google when someone searches your name or topic.

- Event planners can also search our directory if they’re actively looking for speakers.

But the core value of SpeakerHUB is:

- Making you look credible and clear when anyone finds you, and

- Giving you the tools to reach out directly to decision makers every week.

We don’t want you refreshing a profile and praying. We want you running a simple outbound system (the SpeakerFLYWHEEL) so you create your own opportunities on demand.

Is SpeakerHUB for both new and professional speakers?

YES. SpeakerHUB is for any speaker that wants be their own agent including:

- Keynote speakers who want a clean EPK and more chances to be seen and chosen

- Experts, authors, and founders who use speaking and podcasts to get clients

- Coaches and consultants who want speaking to drive real business, not just fees

- Emerging speakers who are ready to start pitching podcasts and associations instead of waiting on invites

You do not need a bureau contract or a certain number of past gigs to start. You just need a topic, a basic offer or message, and willingness to do light, consistent outreach during your trial.

Are the contacts in SpeakerHUB verified?

Yes. Our SpeakerLEADS data is curated and updated on an ongoing basis.

We maintain:

- Millions of podcast, association, conference, and media records

- Contact details and context (where available) for the people behind those stages

No database is perfect or static because organizers change roles, events rebrand, etc. So we actively work to keep records current and remove bad data.

Most importantly, we give you a system (filters, scripts, tracking) so you’re not just blasting a list, you’re running targeted, respectful outreach to relevant decision makers.

How do I know this works?

We built SpeakerHUB around real usage and results, not theory:

Our speakers have booked thousands of meetings and stages – from TEDx talks and associations to conferences and corporate training – using the same system.

You can see dozens of recent wins (screenshots, case studies, and video testimonials) right on this page and in our “Recent Results” section.

We can’t guarantee your outcomes because your niche, message, experience and follow‑through matter. But we can guarantee you’ll have the same tools, map, and process our winning users and booking agencies are actually using.

Does SpeakerHUB provide training or support?

Yes. You’re not left alone with software.

You’ll get onboarding resources, best-practice guides, and access to help articles and SpeakerCOWORKING sessions so you can hear how others are making the most of their profiles and tools without feeling overwhelmed.

We give guidance on:

- How to set up your SpeakerPAGE and first outreach campaigns.

- Live and recorded trainings showing how to use SpeakerLEADS, SpeakerGPT, and SpeakerCRM to run the Flywheel

- Support resources (help center, examples, templates) to shorten your learning curve

We want you to succeed during the trial, not guess. The goal is that by the end of your trial you’ve sent real pitches and gotten real replies, not just clicked around.

How is SpeakerHUB different from a speaker bureau or other directory?

3 Key differences:

1. We don’t take a cut of your fees: Organizers contact you directly; you keep 100%.

2. We’re not a gatekeeper: Bureaus usually represent a small, curated roster and pitch them to clients. We give you the data and tools to pitch yourself.

3. We’re not just a “list and wait” directory: Your SpeakerPAGE is your EPK and search‑friendly home base. SpeakerHUB unlocks leads + tools so you can run proactive outreach. The directory and search traffic are a bonus, not the only plan.

In short: a bureau tries to get you booked; SpeakerHUB helps you get yourself booked with the same systems agencies use behind the scenes.

Can SpeakerHUB help with AI tools like ChatGPT or other “AI search” systems?

Yes, in two ways:

1. SpeakerGPT (built‑in AI)

- Helps you draft bios, talk titles, and personalized pitches that sound like you

- Turns your ideas into ready‑to‑use outreach messages and page copy

- Speeds up all the “boring writing” so you can stay consistent

2. AI visibility & search

- Your SpeakerPAGE is structured so that Google and AI tools can easily understand who you are, what you speak on, and where you’ve appeared.

- As AI assistants increasingly answer questions like “Who are the best speakers on burnout for teachers?” they rely on structured, trusted sources – which is exactly how we designed SpeakerPAGES.

You don’t have to be “good with AI” to benefit; we bake it into the platform for you.

Is there still a free plan?

Yes – but it’s not where you start.

Everyone begins with a full‑featured trial so you can experience the SpeakerFLYWHEEL with your own pitches, leads, and replies.

When your trial ends, you can:

- Keep the full engine on a paid plan, or

- Downgrade to a free SpeakerPAGE plan that keeps your EPK and basic visibility live.

Think of the free SpeakerPAGE as your living EPK safety net, not the main tool that will get you booked.

SpeakerHUB is the engine you use to be your own agent and finally take control of when and where you get booked.

What happens when the trial ends?

At the end of your trial, you have 2 options:

1. Stay on a paid plan

- Keep your SpeakerPAGE, SpeakerLEADS, SpeakerCRM, SpeakerGPT, and SpeakerQR running.

- Continue using the SpeakerFLYWHEEL to proactively grow your visibility and bookings.

2. Downgrade to a free SpeakerPAGE

- Keep your basic SpeakerPAGE EPK live on SpeakerHUB so you still look credible when someone searches your name or follows an old link.

- Lose ongoing access to leads and advanced tools until you’re ready to upgrade again.

You’re never “locked out” of your presence. Your page remains. The decision is simply whether you want to keep the full engine running or just maintain your EPK for now.
