Happy Friday.
We made it, tell me, what went well for you?
I am halfway through a super dose of antibiotics, pneumonia got me, so it's been a slower week but one where I have been looking at the launch of YOMU Magazine and reflecting on how as small business magazines we don't always look after ourselves, even though we look after everyone, and everything else.
I'm planning a May launch of the glossy print copy of YOMU so if you want to be involved as a contributor (it's going to be a great way to start your press adventures if this is new to you) or fancy an ad or would like to be a sponsor for issue one, or have a client that might be keen, hit reply and let's chat.
Press Tip of the Week
Talking about getting into the press, do you know where you need to be in the press? I say need because often clients come to me and say they’ve been in the media BUT it hasn’t been the right places and that is so important.
If you offer coaching for women navigating a career change, GQ isn’t the place for you. Offer yoga classes in person, in Manchester, Wales Online might not do it for you. While you might think you know where you need to be, the next time you are in the magazine aisle, just have a flick through the pages and think, would my ideal client see me in here?
Still not sure?
Watch this space as I have a three-day challenge coming up at the end of February so you will get crystal clear, and I promise it will be worth taking part in.
Take a Leap of Faith
If you have been in my world for a while, you will know I love a good self-development book and I get through a lot of them, as I drive from the coast, up to the moor and often into the city each day as 'mum taxi'.
I came across The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks while taking my coaching certification course and loved it as he looks at your zone of genius and how you can operate at that level as much as you can. To my delight, he has a new book out called Your Big Leap Year and it’s a day-by-day guide to making 2024 your best year yet. I have it on my phone, I'm on day three and recommend you download it too. If you have a book you think I might like, let me know, I am all ears.
Can I Help Your Community
Last thing before I go but can I help you and your community? Do you have a podcast and need a fantabulous guest to talk about the power of publicity for small businesses?
Into IG lives and want to collaborate on a visibility chat?
Maybe you’ve got a membership or mastermind and are looking for speakers to shine a light on PR.
Could be a magazine you write or a newsletter and need content from someone who gets the press or an event, I so want to speak on stage again 😊
If you have any of these or know someone who does, I would LOVE to chat about how I could help light up your podcast, grid, magazine, radio show……you get the idea.
Well, that’s me for this week and once again, thank you for being a part of my community and keeping up with the newsletters, I really do appreciate it and value your time and energy. So thank you.
Have a great weekend.
