How to Make Money Speaking to Non-Profits

With Connie Albers

Learn how you can make money speaking to non-profits and why you shouldn’t listen to all the myths you hear in the industry.

Is it really true that non-profits don’t have funds to pay for speakers? Or is it just a matter of finding out how to make money speaking to non-profits?

Our guest today, Connie Albers, says it is the latter. Today she is debunking the myth that non-profits have no money for speakers, and sharing how to find the ones that do!
