What an amazing testimonial, Louise! Thanks so much!

You’re a great example of the impact training can have when you actually use what you’ve learned. You’ve done a fantastic job with it!

Thank you for sharing this feedback — I appreciate it!

Sandra, your class on HARO responses was so good! As a result of what I learned, I’ve had two lengthy interviews published and one additional shorter article. I appreciate how specific you are about what to include in a pitch and how to make templates for yourself so the process goes faster. Yours is definitely a course worth taking, I highly recommend it!

Sandra, you’ve always had spot on information and when there are lots of people out there trying to get you to use their services and you find out the hard way, they are a scam, it’s so wonderful to know you have alot of integrity and I can always use your information without a second thought. It is so appreciated. Lisa Gammon Olson 🙂

Another helpful write-up, by Sandra. I do what you say, and don’t do what you say not to do. When my books were released, I got good publicity and I believe that’s why. Thanks, Sandra.

In reply to Peter Gibb.

I’m glad it’s helpful, Peter. You do have to pursue publicity — it’s not often that the opportunities come to you out of the blue. On the other hand, once you’ve been quoted several times, writers will discover those interviews in Google searches, see that you know what you’re talking about, and contact you directly. Publicity really does beget publicity.

Best of luck with the new book!

Thanks, Sandra, for this helpful blog. I’m about to release a new book, so very interested since in the past, I haven’t received much press attention. I don’t think I do the things you say not to do, but neither do I really do the things you say to do … so, the result is predictable. I’ll be heading over to HARO and checking out your course.
