It Never Stops

My headache finally went away but I can’t sleep. I keep thinking about who I can reach out to next to publicize my efforts with my site and my new book.

Oh, you can see a video of me opening my new book for the first time.

So after I recorded this I was so tired but I had more work to do. Another phone interview and then I got an interesting email offer for a professional website development coach to review my site for FREE. When he called I was all ready to take notes and make improvements until he stammered and said, “I may have to take a few days to think about this. You have so much going on with your site and it has so much value that off the top of my head I can’t think of anything else to add.”

BINGO!

He did make a couple of suggestions to which I replied, “I’ve already done that.”

That felt good! I stumped the professional developer! YAY!

Anyway, back to the lecture at hand. Tonight, even through my migraine headache, I decided to target local news stations for interviews about my book.

Without a catchy HOOK, they were dismissive but one man at the assignment desk was so nice so I asked him, “How can I make my book release more desireable to news stations?”

He said, “You shouldn’t pitch a book release to an evening news show. They typically cover murders, deaths, political upheaval. If you want to get news press try pitching to morning news shows or weekend news shows.”

Then he gave me the direct email to that station’s weekend news executive producer. Yay!

I’m looking to develop my ad rate card before I go to sleep tonight. I have to start selling advertising immediately. I remember doing this when I was at the small newspaper I worked for just after I graduated. I didn’t SELL ads, but I developed the marketing materials and ad rate cards and business profile info. I know JUST what to do.

I’ll tell you, becoming an entrepreneur takes way more work than simply clocking in and out at someone else’s job. It seems like a dream but you’re aware at all times that if you miss any chance to build your business you could starve or be evicted. It’s making me more alert and less lazy and there is not ONE idea that crosses my mind that I don’t give a shot.

The worst they could say is NO.

I’ve heard NO plenty of times so that doesn’t bother me.

I have good news! I didn’t experience ANY anxiety today and I think my paranoia is going away too. I haven’t had any thoughts about people being out to get me or kill me and that feels great! I guess I’m too focused.

Oh yeah, I participated in the Ultimate Soulmate Summit and it was awesome! I didn’t think I would get much out of it but the relationship experts they showcased gave me an earful each night as I listened to the broadcast online. Such soothing, hopeful people. Tonight, she actually made me believe there could be a love out there for me.
