Getting Paid To Market Yourself
When we hosted Jill Konrath last week, Jonathan and I had an “ah ha” moment (about 22 minutes in) when Jill described one particular tactic she uses to market herself and her ideas.
So Jonathan and I decided to dedicate an entire episode to exploring her idea in much more detail. How can you get paid to market yourself?
Give this episode a listen as we describe examples of paid marketing opportunities and cover how to find the right big pockets (those who can afford to pay you) and craft your pitch.
