Smart tactics to get publicity for your business, service-based journalism, media planning, and outreach with Lynya Floyd
You may not think press and publicity opportunities are in the cards for you – but I’m here to encourage you to really think about what a even a tiny bit of PR can do for your business. When you (and your business) are featured, you’re seen as an expert – people want to work with you and hire you. I couldn’t believe the opportunities and connections that came my way with just one published article (I’m talking new clients, podcast interviews, guest teaching gigs and sales).
I’m thrilled to share this interview I recorded in late 2020 with media coach Lynya Floyd on the smart tactics you can do to get press coverage for your business. I worked directly with Lynya to craft my article for Forbes and let me tell you the process was fun and enlightening.
