Weekly Roundup: September 1, 2024
Weekly Roundup: September 1, 2024
Busy busy busy
I’m launching the Membership Vault for my main biz over at The Side Blogger soon, so things have been a bit hectic around here. In fact, I almost forgot to send a weekly roundup… but remembered just now, so here I am.
Before I get to the pub list…
I try to keep my two newsletters separate, but I thought an occasional promo couldn’t hurt.
If any of you have a content business and sell products (online courses, workshops, etc.), my other newsletter may be useful to you. Just know that I sell on those newsletters… like… A LOT… heh ;)
For example, here’s my latest newsletter, where I talked about my dating life, JLO and Affleck’s breakup, and marketing: https://ckarchive.com/b/4zuvheh5xx54wb6ovveola67rxv77u5

Anyhow… pub list!

*** Note: I cannot always vet each of these publications, unfortunately. So, please do your due diligence and research. See if their values align with yours, if there are conditions/restrictions to who can or cannot pitch/submit, whether or not they’re a paying market, how much they pay, etc., if these things matter to you.***
Hope you have a restful long weekend.
