This is a good discussion. I work for a newspaper and speak free for their things (I'm an elder care columnist) unless I have to drive - then I get mileage. But, I am learning the hard way, like most of us have to, that I must charge to be appreciated. I am fulfilling my obligations, and some of that is freebie talks to local organizations, as even the exeuctive editor does that. But I will not speak free for my own speaking business anymore. It gets tricky here in my area, as I am my own business as well as a paid newspaper columnist, but out of the area I am my own business - period. That makes it easier to set a fee and say no if they can't pay. Private Reply to Carol Bradley Bursack (new win) |
