How much should I charge individuals attending my seminar? Figure out your daily rate. Be sure to value your time and expertise. Calculate the number of people that you need to sign up for your seminar to meet this fee. If you are a new presenter, you may want to charge less at first in order to have name recognition. According to research, the average beginner earns $200 an hour or $800 per day. Your fee includes all speaker costs, such as preparation and follow up. You may choose to charge more, if you like. Once you have given hundreds of seminars, the fee is adjusted for your name recognition and status. Most "seasoned professionals" charge $5,000 per day; some charge much more!
