Become a thought leader to get you and your business exposure.
Mindie Barnett is the founder of MB and Associates and shares her expertise on how people can “get themselves out there.” If you want to get yourself seen and known in your local networks and communities, you will need some form of media coverage.
A great way to get eyes on your business is to pitch relevant and thoughtful stories and informational pieces to local media outlets like news stations and podcasts. It takes a lot of research, persistence, and professional attention to detail, but if you bring something helpful and trendy to the table, you can generate great advertising for your business.
Flex your creativity, get yourself out there, and promote your business!
