Member Benefits

"...roamed your new web site. Great idea - I believe that it will work! Excellent idea!!" Serge LeClerc

The main benefit of membership with Commission-Free Speakers is that you don't have to give away 25% to 30% of your speaking income as a bureau commission. Speaking engagement inquiries and invitations come to you directly. But we're here to assist you with private negotiation advice, email discussion group, and visibility.

We treat all our speaker-members equally. We promote the entire directory roster to meeting planners and conference organizers and to the press and media rather than individual speakers so there is a level playing field for all speakers.

Our member profiles are larger than those of speaker bureaus. Some will give you only a paragraph or at best a half-page. We give you a full page that often prints out to 2 full pages... or more. You can also post multiple photos if you wish: head shots, action shots, book covers, etc.

All Commission-Free Speakers Members are entitled to:
- A full page profile with photos for 12 months. Example.
- 2 editing changes over 12 months.
- As many index listings under expertise as are relevant.
- As many listings by location as are relevant.
- Private online marketing discussion for member-speakers only.
- Monthly inclusion in promotion to meeting planners, press and media.

* Publications, services and classes are not included in membership.

Our membership fees are affordable when compared to publicists and promoters who provide a personal public relations campaigns. One paying engagement may recoup your investment.

We welcome your membership. To join you will need to complete a membership application and remit your first year membership fee ($99 per year), either by PayPal or by debit/credit card: (412) 440-3705
