I am in my 20's and I am often asked to speak at various functions, gatherings, classes, schools etc. Hashem has given me this gift and I see it as a medium for inspiration, chizuk and kiruv.
I am not famous, ppl in my community know me and BH I am told that I have a real talent for it.
thing is its not like I'm asked once or twice a year as time passes its getting more and more often and my Dh thinks I should charge. Some places give me a token of thanks, but I never say anything.
What is your opinion?

Is this your only job? Either way I think you can charge.

If you are doing this often that means you are popular and you can start charging for it.

is it for places that can afford it? you need to ask for carfare and a babysitter if you need one. dinner out for dr if you're not home. how much prep time do you need, time away from a paying job.

who would u ask about how much the community pays? Or how much they can afford?
the only ppl I can think of asking are famous speakers, who either get paid well or do a once off as a chesed. I dont mind to do a once off as a chesed but I get calls constantly from various pple/groups.
I happen to really enjoy this but it can get a bit much, besides I feel like if this is a talent I have I should b paid for it just like any other (ex. a sheitel macher, makeup artist)

The places that you speak, do they charge the people? If they do, absolutely, charge!! How long are the speeches? Is it a sit down, with dinner and such? How far do you have to travel? All those things should be taken into consideration when deciding a price. You probably could charge bet $50-150 an hour, depending.
