The Problem

Great Talks Deserve
Great Audiences

You've built valuable expertise. But without a pipeline, your best content stays stuck in the same small circles.

⏰

Finding Opportunities Is a Full-Time Job

Call for Speakers are buried in newsletters, posted by people you're not connected with, or advertised after the deadline's already passed. You can't apply to what you can't find.

📈

DIY Doesn't Scale

Even spending an hour every day, you'll max out at about 5 applications per week. Most people burn out within a couple weeks and the pipeline goes cold.

🎤

Talks Get Better With Reps

Every delivery sharpens your message. But if you're only speaking a few times a year, you're leaving massive growth on the table — for your talk and your career.

The Story

Built By a Speaker,
For Speakers

Luke Goetting went all-in on the speaking circuit in mid-2023. Within one year, he booked 60+ events — including TEDx, keynotes for 300+ attendees, PMI Global, and stages across 4 countries. This system was built out of necessity, then opened to other speakers who kept asking: "How are you doing this?"

Kolby Goodman Career Expert & Keynote Speaker

"Speaker Liftoff has been able to land me more speaking gigs in the last year than I got in the last decade. The amount of networking, the amount of relationships I've been able to build from these talks, the amount of money I've been able to make — it's been amazing."

Danielle Roberts Future of Work Architect & TEDx Speaker

"I definitely made my money back and then some. I probably at least quadrupled my investment. Luke's team takes care of the rest for me — I can fully focus on my message and the delivery of it."

FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Do I need a finished talk before starting?

No. A compelling talk title and write-up is enough to start applying. Once you get accepted with a date on the calendar, you'll have the motivation and deadline to finalize your content. Many successful speakers in our program started applying before their decks were finished.

Do you target pay-to-play events?

Never intentionally. If a pay-to-play event slips through (some don't advertise it upfront), we remove it from our database immediately. Our goal is to connect you with legitimate opportunities, not vendor showcases.

What kinds of events do you target?

Business conferences across industries — PMI, SHRM, ASCM, ATD, tech conferences, HR summits, leadership events, and hundreds more. We match your specific talks to relevant event tracks (leadership, IT, HR, management, etc.) so every application is targeted.

Will I actually get paid to speak?

About 25% of events offer honorariums or speaker fees, and another 30-40% cover travel expenses plus registration. The remainder are unpaid, but you always decide which to accept. Clients have booked keynotes worth $4,000-$7,000+ through this process. Many speakers also generate significant revenue from coaching, consulting, and workshops that come from stage visibility.

How soon will I see results?

Applications go out within your first week. However, conference committee reviews typically take 3-6 months, which is why we recommend committing to at least 3 months. Results compound over time — the longer you stay active, the stronger your pipeline becomes.

How much of my time does this require?

After onboarding (about 30-60 minutes), your main touchpoint is reviewing the weekly Friday report. We handle everything else unless a rare situation needs your input. Most clients spend less than 15 minutes per week on the program.

Can I swap out my talks?

Absolutely. We support up to 3 active talks at any time, and you can rotate them based on what's performing best or what's most relevant to upcoming events. We'll even advise on which topics we think will get the highest acceptance rates.
