Do You Dream of a
Lucrative Career
As a Professional Speaker?
Dear friend,
Are you considering changing careers? (Or are current economic conditions forcing you to change careers?) Is your current job not challenging you like you want, or compensating you like you deserve? Have you ever thought that there must be something better than running in frustrating circles in a never-ending rat race? In short....
Have you dreamed of entering the exciting world of professional speaking?
"Welcome to
the Free to Fee Program!"

Welcome to the Free to Fee Speaker Career Development System — the exciting path that leads from your current humdrum job to the exciting and lucrative world of professional speaking!
Free to Fee is an online system that guides you over an 8-week period toward your new career as a speaking professional. Each week focuses on one vital aspect of a successful career in pro speaking:
- Getting Started — the All-Important First Step
- Week 1 – Setting Up Your Speaking Business
- Week 2 – Defining Your Market and Your Message
- Week 3 – Diversify Your Income by Developing Your Inventory
- Week 4 – Your "Speaking" Products — Keynotes, Seminars, and other Profitable Programs
- Week 5 – Non-"Speaking" Products (including the "Holy Grail" — your book!)
- Week 6 – Marketing and Effective Self-Promotion
- Week 7 – Using the Internet for Endless Opportunities
- Week 8 – Growing Your Business — the Sky's the Limit!
(The "Getting Started" resources aren't assigned a week because they're available immediately — at no cost! I'm making these great resources available for free because I want everyone to see how convenient and powerful the Free to Fee system is.)
Now let's be clear on something — the Free to Fee program will NOT particularly help you improve your public speaking skills. I suggest you look into Toastmasters for that. But if you've ever wondered how you could become a professional speaker — someone who speaks to people and makes money for doing it — then Free to Fee is for you!
Get Your Questions Answered
The Free to Fee program explores the issues that plague people yearning to start in this fascinating, somewhat mysterious field — answering questions like:
- How do I get started? What do I do first? Do I need licensing or certification? Who's in charge of the speaking industry?
- What's the difference between a keynote and a training program? Which one is better? How many times do I need to speak for free before I can get paid to speak?
- How do I decide what to speak about? Do I need a contract for free speeches? Can I copyright my speeches?
- Do I need an agent? What's a "speakers bureau" and how can I get one to represent me? How much of my speaking fee do I get to keep for myself?
- How can I learn how to market myself? How can I be an effective self-promoter without being incredibly obnoxious? How much time and money should I commit to marketing my business?
- What products should I develop, and how much should I charge for them? Is self-publishing my book a good idea or a bad idea? Who controls how much I charge for my speeches and products?
- Is professional speaking tied to the economy, or is the industry recession-proof? Once I set a price, am I allowed to change it? How much money can I expect to make as a pro speaker?
These are just a few of the countless questions that are explored throughout the Free to Fee program.
The Ultimate in Convenience
Most schools or training programs expect you to adapt to their schedules, but that's not always possible (and it's seldom easy). Free to Fee is different — it adapts to your schedule! And Free to Fee is convenient in other important ways as well —
Your time is important, so Free to Fee doesn't waste it. Unlike other programs that can involve costly and inconvenient travel or can be difficult (or impossible) to schedule, the Free to Fee program is completely Internet-based so you can benefit from the program from almost anywhere in the world. And because you get all your guidance over the web, you're not dependent on shipping schedules. In short, you can launch your pro speaker career on whatever schedule is convenient for you.
Getting
information over the Internet certainly isn't new, but there's one aspect of
Free to Fee that is very unusual — no email!
Because all the Free to Fee resources are delivered to you through
the Free to Fee Dream Machine,
you won't worry about losing material because your spam
filter rejected it, or your mailbox filled up, or
the material was lost in cyberspace, or you accidentally deleted it, or ....
You probably experience the frustration of dealing with email every day.
It's your future we're talking about. Do you really want to trust your new career to the vagaries of an unreliable email system? You need the email-free power of The Dream Machine!
There's another advantage. Through The Dream Machine, you receive your Free to Fee resources over an 8-week period so you aren't overwhelmed with more information than you can comfortably handle. But (this is important!), you aren't limited to a single shot at the information, like you are with email. In fact, you can access the Free to Fee resources as many times as you want over the next 12 months! So if you fall behind on your schedule (reality does have a way of interfering with a dream's timeline, doesn't it?), you don't miss anything — you can access any of the material anytime you want over the next year. Additionally, when I add resources to the Free to Fee program, you have full access to them... even if it's months after you've completed the 8-week program.
NEW! Starting in August, I'm adding weekly teleconferences to the Free to Fee System! These teleconferences are held at various days and times, so there is sure to be a teleconference that's convenient for you! Details will be posted soon in The Dream Machine!
Let's Talk Specifics....
You may be wondering, "What exactly is the Free to Fee program?" I could describe the system to you, but I think it's better if you see it for yourself.
As I just mentioned, the heart of the Free to Fee program is "The Dream Machine", so take a look at the Free to Fee Dream Machine. This isn't a demo package or small sample — it's the same Dream Machine that delivers your valuable speaker-career resources, right to your computer, at your convenience! So click here to access the Free to Fee Dream Machine, and then expand the "Journey" list of resources to see the many valuable resources that await you as a member of the Free to Fee program.
Special Bonus! — Can't wait to get started? You can take the first step on your journey now, because the entire "Getting Started" set of resources is yours for free! (I'm doing this because I want you to see how exciting it is to be a part of the Free to Fee program!)
How Do You Get Started?
Are you ready to pursue an exciting career as a professional speaker? All you need to do is choose which Free to Fee program — Basic, Master, or Deluxe — works best for you.
To get the full benefit of the Free to Fee program, you'll want the Master Package — the complete Free to Fee program. The Master Package is for people who are serious about achieving the greatest success in their speaking careers, in the shortest possible time. But you have other options.... (Click here to learn more about the Master Level of the Free to Fee program.)
Of course, some people work better with a coach to guide them. If you'll benefit from receiving personalized phone coaching from the creator of the Free to Fee Program, Jim Barber (that's me!), then you'll want to upgrade to the Deluxe Package. The Deluxe Package of the Free to Fee Program gives you everything in the Master Package, plus you receive 90 minutes of personalized one-on-one phone coaching to guide you along your path "from free to fee." (Click here to learn more about the Deluxe Level of the Free to Fee program.)
Let's face facts — in these tough times, there are some people who want to pursue their dreams, but they just can't afford to... yet. Free to Fee has an option for them too — the Basic Package! For less than one-third the cost of the Master Package, you receive everything in the Master Package except the 20+ "Extra Mile" resources which explore important aspects of the speaking industry in greater depth. If you want to become a professional speaker, but circumstances prohibit you from completely committing to it yet, then you should join the Free to Fee program at the Basic Level. (Click here to learn more about the Basic Level of the Free to Fee program.)
Just place the program that works best for you in the TooterTalk shopping cart and proceed to checkout. Once you've purchased your program, you'll be directed to set up your member profile, and then you can access the first week's resources immediately! It's that easy!
If Not Now... When?
It's not a coincidence that I call the Free to Fee content delivery system "The Dream Machine." If all you want to do is change careers, there are lots of jobs that you can train for. But for many people, being a professional speaker isn't about work and it isn't about a job... it's about fulfilling a dream.
If you've harbored a secret (or not-so-secret) dream of becoming a pro speaker, then there's no better time than today to get started. But dreams don't manifest themselves — you've got to take action. To turn your dream of a career as a professional speaker into reality, you need to take that all-important first step... and join the Free to Fee program today!
It's your destiny. Speak. Change the world. And prosper!
