As a Mompreneur you are a “Jane of all trades.” Knowing and meeting so many of the moms in the Vend Raleigh community, I see talent in all areas. You are a mom, wife, chauffer, entrepreneur, dual business owner, manager, marketer, advertiser, financial expert, counselor, chef just to name a few of the things that you do as a Super Mom!
Your gift or talent has led you to your passion in creating your own business. So you have a business that you love, but now what? Who knows about it? Sometimes we don’t realize that there is FREE publicity out there. YES, free publicity not only helps share your expertise, but it can build your SEO also known as search engine optimization, be a part of your content marketing strategy, and help someone with the solution to their problem that they are experiencing.
When you sign up for HARO, you learn about reporters needs every day. By reading the queries you’ll see that you can respond as an expert to establish yourself as a leader in your industry. Some of the queries are opinions, some are professional, and some are area specific. What do you have to lose by sharing your information with a reporter who is looking for something for your target market?
I have submitted multiple queries and was featured in the Breezy Mama blog- Getting kids to entertain themselves and Parenting – Teaching kids to learn from failure. I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Jeremy Greenburg on a sleep piece featured on MSN Living, Why a good ritual is no sacrifice?
