You can certainly choose to accept less, but $1,500 is a good starting point for most speakers. Let’s say you’re speaking 2 times at an event. You’d charge a flat fee (~$1,500) for one talk and a little more (~$500) per additional talk. Your time and expertise are valuable so you should be charging as such.
How is speaking fee calculated?
To get the per person fee, I divide the $20,000 total by the number of attendees. This means my base fee that negotiations start at for that conference is $20,000, which works out to $200 per person. (You can also get to the per person price faster by doing the formula this way: $5000 divided by 25 = $200.)
