Uh, I made a few mistakes in my last email. The biggest was sending people to my new freebie of what to do after earning media exposure… and having the PDF undeliverable Thankfully, I got some nice emails alerting me to the issue and it was fixed. Then… in the image I made promoting that freebie, I had a typo. The email I got alerting me to that was not so kind. I wrote about it on LinkedIn. Click here to see how it unfolded. Press Releases SuckThe header on my website reads: “We don’t write press releases. It’s not 1990.” Quick tip: Before you dive into drafting that press release, take a pause. More often than not, there’s a better way to spread your news. Why not keep it breezy with a social media shoutout? Maybe craft a cool piece of content that tells your story more vividly? Or, if you've really got something juicy, a well-thought-out pitch could be your golden ticket. Here’s the deal: Press releases aren’t the magic potion to make something seem more newsworthy or important. They don’t automatically get you more eyeballs or guarantee media coverage – unless you’re a big shot like Apple or Google, maybe. There are times when they’re necessary, sure, like for formal stuff: big launches, partnerships, mergers – you get the gist. But, let’s be real, they’re not always the MVP. Got a real story to tell? A pitch done right can be way more impactful. If not, why not leverage your own channels? Your social media, your blogs, and your platform is powerful. Use it! Let’s rethink how we share our news, yeah?!

This went viral on LinkedIn, and based on the response, a lot of people have dealt with some version of this. A potential client once told me to choke on a chicken bone. Twice. This happened before he ever became a client. He had reached out about hiring my agency and seemed interested, but never actually moved forward. But that didn't stop him from copying me on emails with business updates, personal news, and political opinions. (He was very concerned about who used what bathroom. I...
A teenage founder was introduced to me by Kristin Kenzy from Drunk Business Advice after building a new product called CoDuck. He described it as a tool for building enterprise-scale websites with advanced capabilities and the simplicity and ease of use people love. In his view, most current products make you choose between power and usability, and CoDuck is his attempt to close that gap. In the email intro, Kristin asked: How can he get attention for a tool like this? My answer was simple...
Bookstagram might look like chaos from the outside. And to be fair, sometimes it is. People are yelling about fictional men, spiraling over plot twists, and forming full-blown friendships in the comments. But there’s a reason it works so well, and honestly, brands should be paying attention. As someone who spends a lot of time on Bookstagram, I can tell you this: People don’t show up just for book recommendations. They show up because the content makes them feel something, gives them...
