How much should I charge for a talk?

You’d charge a flat fee (~$1,500) for one talk and a little more (~$500) per additional talk. Your time and expertise are valuable so you should be charging as such. The more times you speak, the more you should be paid.

When to call or email to ask for payment?

If your client hasn’t responded to your messages after 3 – 4 weeks since the first email, you’ll want to call them. Calling people takes away the protective layer of anonymity that emails provide — making it MUCH harder to ignore your payment request. And if you’re worried about not knowing what to say, fear not.

How to determine what your speaking fees will be?

As a public speaker, keynote speaker or guest speaker, it can be super stressful when it comes to determining what your speaking fees will be. The questions are endless and the scenarios are vast. You want to start or continue speaking professionally, but often times you don’t know where to begin or what to charge for your next gig.

What happens if you don’t get paid by your client?

Which is correct ” I had paid the fees ” or ” I have paid “?

Both are grammatically correct depending on the context. “I had paid” implies that you are looking into the past and at that time in the past, you had already paid the fees. “I have paid” looks at it in the present time and says that as it now currently stands, I have paid the fees. It sounds like, in context, “I have paid” would probably fit best.

Can a lawyer pressure a client to pay a fee?
