I’ve gone over television and print so now it’s time to go over some strategies for pitching radio outlets.

The answers to those two questions will [...]
Remember my post a couple weeks back about how all good things come to those who wait? Well, I want to revisit that topic and share this video from my Partnership Program where I discuss it a little bit more. Enjoy! And have a great weekend!
