entertainment industry coach question 318: Publicists are so expensive. Is there any way I can do this myself?

Timing is everything! I wish you had sent this 3 days ago, because I just listened to a great call by Lisa Manyon: No Cost & Low Cost Online Press Release Strategies. This is Lisa's area of expertise. I'm not going to comment on this because as you can tell, I'm just learning about it myself, but I will say that she gave so many great ideas. Hopefully, you can contact her and get a copy of the call. Tell her Jessica Sitomer, The Greenlight Coach, told you to contact her and ask if you can get a copy of the No Cost & Low Cost Online Press Release Strategies call.
