Honestly, seven hours per week is on the low end of what people spend creating their YouTube videos from start to finish. This includes the ideation, writing, production, editing, publishing and promotion. These tasks really add up!
‍
Up above, we talked about sending a session description to event organizers as a way to earn a spot on their breakout stages. Notice that the session description is the main thing these event organizers will use to make their decision on whether or not your speech is a good fit for their audience.
‍
So, make it excellent!
‍
The key to a great session description is that you constantly send it out, receive feedback, and refine the wording until it works to reliably sell your speech. Take some time to start revising your session description today. You won’t be sorry.

How’s the Trade-Off Going?
‍
Let go of the idea that “marketing and personal branding building” are the keys to your speaking success. Instead, reinvest all those hours you spend creating content and put it towards more fruitful tasks.Â
‍
Eventually, you’ll see the long-term benefits. You’ll start getting those gigs, and more stageside leads will start popping out of the woodwork.
‍
Hopefully, this has been helpful for you. Â
