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!
There's nothing quite like the exposure you get from appearing on The View. A great way to deliver your message to millions of people, one 4-minute segment can boost awareness of your product, increase your credibility and most likely, increase sales. But we all know that landing a segment on The View isn’t an easy [...]
Who doesn’t like seeing their name in print? That’s what I thought! Remember just like with television, before you pitch you have to be able to answer the questions: Why should the media care?
