I’m back from California!
This time, it was NOT for business, but pleasure.
My husband and I spent a few days there for my birthday and tried to “Come on Down”, but we weren't called.
However, we did get seats in the front row, so you will see us on The Price is Right on Monday, February 26th!
While we were in California, the series premiere episode of Health Uncensored! with Dr. Drew aired on Fox Business.
If you missed it, you can catch the replay on Hulu or watch the segments on the website.
The next episode is Sunday, February 4th at 5:30 ET / 2:30 PT on Fox Business.
Sometimes clients will ask, "Why did our competitor get featured in top-tier media, but not us?"
Based on my experience as a journalist and owner of a publicity and content creation agency, here are some reasons why.
1. Your business may be relatively new, with an underdeveloped website, limited social media content, or restricted product availability.
Consider starting with trade and local media to build your reputation.
2. PR is a long-term game.
Big placements often result from consistent efforts and building media relationships over months or years.
Don't give up too soon; smaller wins pave the way for bigger ones.
3. Enhance your online presence, engage with reporters, and share industry expertise on your website, blog, social media, or other platforms to make it easier for media to find you.
There are three more reasons.

One thing about me: if I can make content bookish, I'm going to make it bookish. So, I posted a video of myself floating in the pool, reading a thriller from my favorite floating chair. I wasn't trying to sell the chair or land a brand deal. I was trying to convince people to read another book. Instead, my comments turned into this. This wasn't sponsored. There was no affiliate link. The company had no idea I was posting. I just love the chair and happened to be using it while reading. This...
Not too long ago, I told you I started a YouTube channel. This week, I decided to build a system to repurpose each YouTube video into a bunch of other things. So far, I’ve taken the long-form YouTube videos and turned them into shorter vertical videos for: YouTube Shorts TikTok Instagram Reels That’s where I’ve started, but the plan is bigger. Eventually, every YouTube video will also become a newsletter for Substack, because that’s where all my readers are hanging out. So if you want to join...
I love a checklist. Like, deeply. If there is a box next to a task, I want to check it. I don’t care if I wrote down “pop open a Coke” after I already drank the damn Coke. That box is getting checked. So, I decided I needed some structure. But not a rigid, corporate-looking schedule that makes me want to throw my laptop into a lake. I'm not that girl anymore.
