5th Annual - Ignite to Profits Virtual Event

Ignite to Profits is where authors, speakers, and entrepreneurs stop talking about “one day” and actually start making money in 2025—no crystal ball required. If you’re tired of dusty PowerPoints and audiences that look like they walked in from a zombie movie, this event is for you. We’ve rounded up eight speakers who actually walk the talk (yes, they’ve sold books and gotten paid to speak) to show you how to turn your book—or that half-written draft—into legit stage time and cash.

Here’s what you’ll learn (because reading between the lines is so last decade):

• Taurea Avant: How to Get on More Stages in 2025 Using Your Book or Future Book
  Stop hoping somebody notices your genius. Taurea will break down exactly how to leverage your book—published or not—to land paid speaking gigs.
• Nichica Melton: Sight But No Vision
  Learn why looking busy isn’t the same as having a plan. Nichica will school you on how to develop real vision so you’re not wandering around like a headless chicken.

• Deana Jean: From Contacts to Contracts: Making Your Network Work for You

  If you’re still staring at a blank page (or your endless to-do list), Lena’s session will help you align your vision, find the right words, and actually make time to get it done.
