 Do you ROCK? I don't know if you saw the BET
Special, Black Girls
Rock! but it was the most inspiring thing I've seen on TV in a
long time. World changers, history makers NOW.
But you know what? I rock. YOU rock. We
all rock! So let the world know. Get out there. Market YOUR
MESSAGE. Do
your OWN PR.
If you are "shy" - Get over it! Break out of the box and be
BOLD! Know that you ROCK and the only way people will know your
greatness is to let your LIGHT SHINE!
Here are the tools to do your own
PR:
1. Have a marketing mentality. We are a brand. So what is your brand
image? What are you portraying to the world? Is it an "A list"
brand? What you believe you are on the inside will be broadcast on
the outside. Do the inner work first. Know that marketing is not a
dirty word! It is a way to connect with others and live your
purpose, fulfill your dreams and be a blessing to others. So think
of marketing as networking - you are meeting and greeting. Remember
to represent yourself as a "celebrity" at all times -and you're
sure to be treated like one. Examples: Oprah,
Tyra, Beyonce, Susan Taylor and Dr. Stacia
Pierce.
 2.
A bio and great head shot
photo. Make sure you get a professional photo - and one
that has YOUR personality imprinted in it. A real good photographer
can help you with this. These are the tools of the pros. Write an
authentic, interesting, short, snappy bio. A
bio that will make people go, "WOW." Think of it as a intro to
you to the world. What do you want people to know first about you?
Imagine your bio being read at a big awards show like the NAACP
Image Awards or Black Girls Rock.
Hear the announcer introduce you to stage. How does it sound? Not
a "wow"? Then
redo it until you can hear the applause in your head.
3. A press kit. You
need a package/portfolio of your achievements, press clips,
broadcast interviews, articles you've written or have had written
about you. Put in your brochure, your HOOK, fact sheets and any
other signature items that make you who YOU are. Brand YOU. Add
endorsements or testimonials. In order to get recognized faster,
you might want to get an optimized online press kit. See http://tinyurl.com/pamperrypr
and get the details on the Instant Media Kit to take
your business, book or career to the NEXT LEVEL!
3. Invest in some coaching.
Whether you need an image coach, media coach, internet marketing
coach, PR coach or a life coach -
in order to to be your best and be ready for the "red carpet," you
need to get some professionals to help you. This will boost your
confidence and this will make sure you don't make any costly
MISTAKES!
We have audio products, ebooks
and group or personalized
coaching programs to help you BRAND like a Superstar. Don't be
cheap with your brand. Prepare for success.
See you on the RED
Carpet!
