SpeakerHUB is Trusted by Speakers in These Organizations
Did you know that 90% of professional speakers make less than $50,000 a year from speaking fees. Only 3.5% ever make over $100,000 .
This isn’t a failure of the speakers—it’s a failure of the model. Too many are sold the dream of becoming a “6-figure keynote speaker” using the old model.
The BOFUM speaking model flips the odds in your favor with one strategic shift.
Over 75% of speakers do fewer than 10 gigs per year
Not because they aren’t talented—because they lack a repeatable system to generate leads and bookings consistently.
The top speakers don’t wait to be picked—they pitch. Daily outreach sets you apart from 92% of the industry.
49% of speakers earn less than $1,000 per talk
Not because they aren’t capable—but because speaker budgets have declined for those with less than 5 years of experience.
Getting paid more starts by shifting how you speak, not just where. SpeakerHub even shows you how to monetize free gigs and podcast interviews.
The Problem Isn’t You Or Your Message.
The Problem is the Industry's Focus on only getting paid from Speaking Fees.
While most speakers struggle to make a living from fees alone, SpeakerHUB helps you use speaking to grow a business both on and off the stage just like
Dave Ramsey, Tony Robbins, Lisa Nichols, Les Brown, and others.

INTRODUCING
By treating gigs as lead generators, entrepreneurs use keynotes to sell products and services and share valuable content. The FLYWHEEL starts with podcasts, then amplifies authority through media outlets, associations and conferences. By leveraging all four, generating sales through multiple channels becomes an achievable task.

Instead of seeking only high paying speaking fees, entrepreneurs use speaking as a marketing engine—measuring ROI through conversions and lifetime client value. This mindset is the foundation of the SpeakerFLYWHEEL, in which we encourage combining both of them.

ATTENTION: GREAT KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
You are a great speaker,
but you’re leaving money on the stage

SpeakerHub is not a booking service and that’s by design. We do not make promises we can not control. Instead, we provide a proven system that helps you consistently present yourself to decision-makers who can book you for speaking gigs, podcast interviews, and media coverage. You control the effort. We supply the tools, data, and support to help you get results on your terms.
SpeakerHUB started as a simple place where speakers could create a SpeakerPAGE to be found online. Its smart system helps speakers show up in Google searches and get noticed. But being noticed isn't enough. That’s why we created SpeakerHUB PRO: A better, smarter way to help speakers get booked faster. With SpeakerHUB PRO, you get:
A Big List of Events with access to over 3,000,000 Podcasts, 148,000 Events, 31,228 Media Outlets, and 11,241 Conferences where you can get booked.
A Simple Organizer Tool (CRM) to track and manage your conversations with event planners so you never miss a chance to follow up.
An AI-Powered email technology: SpeakerGPT's WriterAI, which not only matches you with the right events according to your type of expertise, but also helps you swiftly write and send dozens of pitches in just a few minutes per day.
With SpeakerHUB, you can take control of your bookings and connect directly with event planners, instead of waiting for unreliable, inconsistent opportunities to come in. SpeakerHUB is the way to turn public speaking into a profitable business. Try SpeakerHUB PRO for free and see how it helps you turn your story into paid speaking gigs.
Traditional bureaus work on commission and usually only represent a small group of speakers. SpeakerHub is a platform any expert can use to proactively find opportunities, pitch themselves, and grow visibility—without giving away fees or waiting for someone to book them.
SpeakerHUB is specifically designed for speakers and offers a suite of tools and features tailored to your success:
SpeakerCRM: Manage your leads, outreach, and follow-ups in one place.
SpeakerDATA: Access an extensive database of podcasts, conferences, and associations.
SpeakerGPT: Generate professional and tailored pitches seamlessly.
SpeakerLAUNCH: A training bootcamp and accelerator program to help you master the art of booking gigs.
SpeakerPAGE: Your professional portfolio page, built specifically for speakers, to showcase your expertise and make you stand out.
SpeakerHub is ideal for experts, coaches, consultants, and business owners who want to use their voice to grow visibility, attract leads, and convert attention into clients—not just get paid to perform.
Yes. SpeakerHub is designed to support speakers at every level—from those just exploring the idea, to those commanding top-tier stages. We organize our platform around the 6 E’s of Speaker Development:
Entry – Just exploring speaking? We’ll help you build a clear profile and gain initial momentum.
Exploring – Testing your message? Learn how to pitch podcasts and get early feedback from real audiences.
Emerging – Beginning to get booked? Our tools help you build consistency and grow your confidence.
Experienced – Want more control over bookings? Use SpeakerHub to scale your outreach and increase visibility.
Expert – Ready to monetize more deeply? Turn every stage into content, leads, and long-term clients.
Elite – Already commanding large stages? Use our system to optimize your backend, capture leads, and stay top-of-mind year-round.
Whether you’ve never spoken publicly or have done 100 keynotes, SpeakerHub gives you the tools and strategies to move to your next level—with structure, support, and strategy.
In addition to community and software tools, every SpeakerHub membership includes onboarding, pitch templates, strategy guidance, and live daily co-working sessions with our team. You're not left to figure it out alone.
Most users begin building momentum in the first few weeks—especially those who follow our SpeakerFLYWHEEL daily pitch strategy. As with any system, consistency is key. Your results will depend on your effort, experience, niche, and follow-up. But since we don't control those things, we don't guarantee any outcomes. The only promise we make is that if the event planner thinks you are as good as you say you are, they will book you. If they don't think you are good, they will book someone else. That's how life works... We are here to help you to get better, so that you can get booked more in the future than you did in the past.
Connecting with key decision-makers in the Speaking and Events industry can be challenging. Finding the right people and events for a specific kind of audience is even more difficult. That's why we created SpeakerHUB PRO, a comprehensive associations, conferences, and podcasts database that helps you connect with the right people to fast-track your efforts into a profitable business.
Sign-up for free and use the SpeakerHUB PRO database and CRM. It includes:
A vast, up-to-date database of decision-makers, including podcast hosts, conference organizers, and associations
AI-powered help to connect you with the right events, according to your niche and expertise
Tools to pitch directly and follow up consistently, helping you secure bookings faster
SpeakerHub is not a booking agency. It’s a software platform and system built for experts who pitch themselves.
Just like Google Ads or Facebook Ads don’t guarantee sales, we don’t guarantee gigs—because we’re not the ones choosing your topic, fee, audience, availability, or how often you pitch. You are.
What we do provide is the full infrastructure to take control of your outreach:
AI-powered pitch tools
A curated organizer database
A speaker-optimized CRM
Daily co-working sessions for consistency
A strategy that works if you work it
Your results will depend on how you use the system.
Top speakers don’t wait to be chosen, they show up, pitch consistently, and build momentum. SpeakerHub is the growth engine they use to do it faster, smarter, and more sustainably.
The free version of SpeakerHUB is available for everyone. Paid plans vary depending on the product.
If you're not sure about what plan is convenient for you, we recommend you hop into the daily Monday to Friday 12pm Eastern (GMT-05) coworking calls. We will answer any questions you might have there.
For the SpeakerPAGE, we have Free, Silver and Gold subscriptions available. You can check them out here.
For SpeakerHUB PRO, the Database, CRM, and SpeakerGPT + WriterAI system, we have Emerging, Experienced, Expert, and Elite plans available. Sign-in to our Free trial to Get Started for Free!
Yes, SpeakerHUB is free to use for starter speakers. You can create and publish your SpeakerPAGE and access to free speaking opportunities.
Yes. You can cancel anytime. Just click the cancel button. That's it. There's no minimum contract for SpeakerHUB — cancel at any time without penalty or hassle.
Cancelling the subscription/upgrade/payment means the account remains intact but you lose access to certain features (such as the display of multiple videos/images on the SpeakerPAGE, but even these media contents remain in the account, they just don't show up on the public profile page without being upgraded).
