Most people already know that public speaking is helpful in such diverse careers as law, politics, religious ministry, and business. Not everyone knows that successful independent public speakers sometimes make fabulous amounts of money. It is not unusual for the pros to charge $15,000 or more plus expenses for a one-hour appearance. (No one, of course, should expect to start that high. Most speakers start by presenting a year of freebies.) All it takes to succeed would be superb public speaking skills, excellent self-marketing, hard work, and a message that is worth hearing. There are several books about how to get started; my favorite is Speak and Grow Rich by Dottie and Lilly Walters.
