November 4th, 2015 Geeta Nadkarni How to use the press to get paid speaking gigs.
When Geeta Nadkarni launched her business in August 2014, she quickly realized that social media was going to take WAY too long to generate the kind of return on investment she needed. So she thought, "The heck with this, I'm just going to get on TV!" And she did!
In the 14 months since, she has built a six-figure business, retired her husband from his day job (they now work together full time) and proven to herself and her three-year-old that work can be about purpose, passion and serious cash flow.
Former journalist, internationally acclaimed speaker and passionate entrepreneurship advocate Geeta Nadkarni has 20+ years of experience producing print, TV, radio and new media. She and her work have been featured in outlets including the New York Times, CBC, CNN, Global TV, and Reader's Digest. She's a regular contributor to the Huffington Post, Entrepreneur magazine and is always looking for business success stories for her columns.
Geeta's keynote speeches, breakout sessions, and trainings teach speakers, coaches, authors, and entrepreneurs how to position themselves as experts and harness the power of the traditional media to gain exposure, build credibility and charge more. Her online course, Baby Got Booked, has landed students, local, national and international coverage within weeks (sometimes even days) of starting.
In her presentation, Geeta will share her top tips that will help you land media coverage even if you've never written a press release before and have zero media contacts.
You will learn:
• The biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when they pitch the media (and what to do instead)
• What journalists are looking for
• How to position yourself as an expert (even if you're just launching)
• The elements of a fabulous speakers marketing plan
