Hi Reader!

First of all -- thank you so, so much for responding to my questions about what you'd like to see here in our conversations. If it isn't obvious by now -- you know how much I love hearing from you so don't wait until the next survey to reach out and ask me anything. (You heard that right...anything about working with media or your business. All you have to do is reply to this email and ask away!)

And next, there's been lots of talk about 💰money💰 in our community and I've heard from so many dissatisfied professionals who feel like they're not getting what they deserve. Sadly, as a dietitian, there are too many reasons why you may not be paid for what you're worth (mostly female profession, not being reimbursed by insurance companies, competition from less credible and louder "influencers", I could go on and on). But this does not have to be the case for you!

You know how strongly I feel about the importance of working with media, for which I have an even longer list of reasons! My stories below show just two examples of how getting your name in the news can boost your business and your reputation which ultimately helps to fill your wallet.

Please share your thoughts with me -- did I say I love to hear from you? 😉

Sending warmest regards and appreciation,

Bon

Should you pay to get your name in the news?

I could tell you all day long about how valuable it is to get your name in the news, but instead, let me show you what I mean. I got an email this week that highlights just one example of how valuable it is to get noticed:

Hi Bonnie,

I represent a PR firm called XXXX that specializes in helping entrepreneurs and influencers grow their brands and get featured in the press and become the “Go-To Expert” in their industry. We are currently working on an article for “XXX which will be titled “The 15 Influential Health Expert”. I feel like you’d make a good addition to this list. The article would include a short paragraph about you as well, that describes your success story and your background. We are selling spots in this article for $700 each.

If this interests you at all and you’d like to get featured in the press, please let me know ASAP and I’ll get you onboard.

Best Regards,

XXXX

Get featured “in the press”? Since the year began 3 weeks ago, I have been featured in TEN (yup 10) stories in top tier publications. It didn’t cost me a penny (it could have cost thousands) and even more importantly, I can confidently say that the reporters who quoted me will call me again. And again.

Getting back to that email – I’ve seen spots like this go for much more than $700 … but why pay for this attention when you can get your name in the news for FREE!!

You Asked, I Answered:

Question:

I see your name all over the place! How do you get so many interviews?

Answer:

I still feel so humbled when I hear comments like the above and I also still feel grateful when reporters call upon me to help them with their stories.

Yet to be honest with you -- doing these interviews takes up more time than you could imagine! Sure, Chat GPT is around...but journalists keep coming back to me over and over again because they know I'm not a robot and that I will provide responses with my own opinions and in my own voice.

They also know that I will respond in a timely fashion (often immediately) and will provide information that they can basically copy and past and weave into their stories without much, if any, editing.

These skills have taken me years to perfect, but they are not hard to learn. In other words...your next interview is out there, waiting for you! Would you like me to help you find it? 🤔
