On behalf of Expert Village I am Nicholas the Storyteller here in Miami, Florida and today I am going to teach you how to tell a story. Do you want to get paid? Well, yeah, do you want to get paid as a storyteller? Now, I get paid and there are some storytellers that get paid, there are some who don't. That little five year old girl that we were talking about who told stories to her mother, she didn't get paid. But, if you want to get paid and there is good reason to be paid because after all, you are an artist. You deserve your pay, it's a fact. Now, what do you do about that? Well first of all let me suggest that until you really can deliver the goods, don't ask people for money. Get practice first. Get some smoothness in your delivery. But once you do, decide how much you want. Ask for it, out front. You have to ask for it, if you're going to get paid.
