Ask 10 people in the street where they think MCs get most of their work from and 9 out of 10 will reply “Weddings and perhaps Corporate Events.”
They have probably been at a Corporate Function, a Conference or Convention and seen a good MC doing their thing. And most people have been to a wedding at some time, perhaps even their own and seen an MC, perhaps a talented relative or hopefully a great professional MC.
These events stick in the mind.
But the reality of the MC business is far different than this perception!
There are thousands of talented full time professional MCs out there making a good living who NEVER work as a Wedding MC or even do those large Conference assignments.
In fact, this misconception about the MC industry is one of the reasons that some people give up pursuing it as a career or even a lucrative Side Hustle.
You see, getting a foot in the door of the Corporate MC Niche is pretty tricky. There’s a lot of competition for the assignments and the bookers and clients are looking for people with a solid track record and they often end up booking a “Celebrity MC” as they think their audience will enjoy having a Sports Star running the event.
Luckily for us, there are a huge amount of other Niche Markets where we can “get good!”
Malcom Gladwell in his book “Outliers – The Story of Success” (Amazon Link) comments on how the Beatles “got good” by working over 1200 nights in the clubs of Hamburg often playing 8 hours a night! He thinks 10,000 hours is about the target you need to be good at anything!
So where do we go to get that sort of “Stage Time” as an MC?
I’ve identified over 50 Niche Markets where MCs can get work!
I’ve worked in most of them over my career as a Professional MC & Event Host
Importantly, most of these assignments are paid assignments, where clients have a budget to hire an MC.
Many of these Niches are in fact highly paid. (I’ll give you some examples in a moment.)
And a lot of them are totally overlooked by other MCs!
Our 50 Niche Markets Report was initially written for the Inner Circle Members of ExpertMC.com, our Membership Group.
I then expanded the Report with several new markets and then included tips and strategies for getting into some of them. The Report is part of our Expert MC Mega Training and Success Bundle, but I’ve had a number of people ask if they could just buy it as a separate eBook.
So here it is.
The eBook is an Instant Download, 23 pages, delivered as a pdf. (The file size is tiny, just 850kb)
What sort of Niche Markets are we talking about?
On Page 14 … I spill the inside information on a lucrative niche that I have never seen mentioned before. I’ve never mentioned it myself before because I’m still working in the field! My clients have taken me 15 times, to Hong Kong, Thailand and several Queensland luxury Resorts to run this type of event. There are many companies all over the world who run these events on a monthly basis! (In fact I sent in a proposal to a new company based in Singapore just a few days ago!)
On Page 15 … I share a list of the type of Corporate Groups who meet on a regular basis and have big budgets for MCs. These are all industry types I have personally done conferences for in Hawaii, South Africa, Cambodia, New Zealand & Australia
On Page 20 … Another Niche that I’ve never seen mentioned, but I have several friends doing it. (They are somewhat annoyed I’m spilling the info on this!)
On Page 8 … I share a secret about working at Movie Premiers! Exactly how one MC broke into the big leagues.
On Page 9 … My Tips on Breaking into the huge Expo & Trade Show Markets (including What Not to Do)
