Youth Speaker University

Youth Speaker University is for speakers in the youth and education niche. Grow an impactful, paid speaking business.

Why you should join: Led by speaking agent Josh Shipp and a team of full-time speakers: methodical step-by-step video lessons, weekly live coaching, tested templates and speaking leads. Membership is $100 a month.

The one-liner

A paid school for youth and education speakers, run by an agent who books the gigs.

What they actually sell

Youth Speaker University® is run by Josh Shipp. The headline pitch reads: "Grow an impactful speaking business in the youth and education niche." The public offer sits at $100 a month. A free trial sits on the join path. Lessons are grouped into three stages, build, grow and expand, so a new speaker can see the path from first paid gigs to a book and a course. Inside sit 5 courses. Cancel anytime is part of the risk frame.

Who pays and why

Speakers who serve schools, colleges and youth organisations. The hope is a full calendar of paid bookings rather than one-off talks. They pay for a staged path from first paid gigs to higher fees, a book and a course, with weekly coaching and leads.

Where the members come from

Josh Shipp's LinkedIn and website presence appears to feed the room. The Skool community reads as the member back end for people already drawn to that work.

What's holding it back

The trial makes it easy to sample, but the real draw is the agent's leads. If those slow down, the course alone has to carry the price.

Steal this

Map the offer into named stages, such as build, grow and expand, so members always know their next level.

Would this work in another niche?

Yes for any freelance service with a buyer gatekeeper, such as corporate trainers. Weak where clients book directly online.
