FAQ

Got questions? We've got answers. Contact us at info@micdropworkshop.com

 

Is this really free?

Yes. This is a free training designed to show you how to turn your lived experience into a paid speaking opportunity.

Do I need speaking experience to watch this?

Not at all. This training is designed for women who:

  • Have never spoken before
  • Have spoken but never been paid
  • Want to refine their message and charge appropriately
What kind of speaking are we talking about?

We’re talking about paid speaking opportunities like:

  • Corporate keynotes
  • College events
  • Association conferences
  • ERGs
  • Workshops and panels

This is not about becoming a motivational influencer. It’s about becoming a professional paid speaker.

How do I know if my story is “good enough”?

This is a big one.

Most women assume their story isn’t unique enough.
 In reality, event planners are looking for lived experience with insight.

If you’ve navigated something, built something, overcome something, or learned something — you likely already have a message.

This training helps you name it.



Can you really get paid without a big following?

Yes.

Most paid speaking gigs do not come from having a massive social media audience.
They come from clarity, positioning, and knowing where to pitch.

I’ll show you what that actually looks like.



What will I walk away with?

After watching, you’ll:

  • Identify your core talk idea
  • Understand where your message fits in the market
  • Know what kinds of stages pay and how to get there
Is this only for aspiring TEDx speakers?

No.

TEDx is one visibility pathway, not the only one.
 The principles in this training apply to corporate, college, nonprofit, and association stages.

What if I’ve spoken before but haven’t been paid much?

Perfect.

Many women speak for exposure, small honorariums, or far below market value.
This training shows you how to position your talk as an asset and price accordingly.
