Publicity never sleeps; it's an ongoing,
24/7 process that never stops. Publicity accompanies you everywhere.
Even when you hire marketing or promotion professionals, you remain
responsible for your own publicity. Self-promotion is essential!
It conveys enthusiasm, shows your conviction and passion for your
work. Don't be shy, embarrassed or rely on others to champion your
cause. Look at successful people you know. Most quickly let everyone
know.
When you promote yourself, be prepared to
answer questions. Ask people who they know who could use your product
or service. Do they know people in the media who you could contact?
Increasing visibility and building name
recognition requires repetition. Repetition makes the unfamiliar
familiar; it breaks down barriers and opens doors. When your name
and message become familiar, you gain credibility and become a known
commodity.
Learn to spot promotional opportunities
and how capitalize on them. Always be alert for openings to spin
to your advantage. At first, it may feel awkward, pushy or overly
aggressive. But before long, you'll develop a knack for when to
jump in and when to back off.
