How ChatGPT got me a paid speaking gig!
|
I want to give a special shoutout to ChatGPT for playing an unexpected role in my latest adventure. Here’s the story: A forward-thinking organizer was on the lookout for a speaker for an upcoming event in Dallas, Texas. Instead of the usual route, he asked ChatGPT for suggestions on who would make a captivating speaker about marketing. And guess what? My name popped up in the conversation! Thanks AI! This is a testament not just to technology's power to connect us but also to the undeniable importance of creating impactful content and earning publicity. Having a strong digital footprint is no longer optional; it's essential. This underscores the significance of sharing our knowledge, expertise, and experiences online. It's about positioning yourself in a way that when someone asks, "Who should we bring to speak at our event?" the digital trails you've created lead to you. This isn't just about being found; it's about creating value that resonates with others. Every article, blog post, video, or social media update contributes to a digital portfolio that can open doors you didn't even know existed. The content we create and the effort we put into building our online presence can lead to incredible opportunities, sometimes in the most unexpected ways.

Hi there, I once talked to a real estate agent who had been “meaning to pitch herself” for almost a year. You know the kind of “meaning to” I’m talking about. She had a great story, expertise, strong point of view, and a very specific seasonal angle that would have been perfect for local TV, podcasts, and online articles. But she kept waiting. Which is how we all end up standing in the kitchen six months later, eating shredded cheese straight from the bag and wondering why nothing has...
Reader, One of the biggest lies business owners believe about publicity is this: “I need to know someone.” And because they do not personally know anyone in the media, they assume the door is closed... or guarded by a tiny publicist goblin with a clipboard. But that is not how this works. You do not need to “know someone” to get media coverage. Yes, you need to know who to contact and what to say once you find them. It's not the same. I once worked with a business owner who was convinced...
