Reach out to Ashley's team to get her free offer (the pitch templates) at: hello@AppleseedCommunications.co The fun nuggets from the episode are as follows: #1: Know your “why” for publicity: 1) exposure, 2) demonstrating expertise/authority, and 3) positioning #2: ROI is not always measured in hard dollars and cents. Publicity is a deposit into your personal brand bank account. #3: Publicity has never been easier because of the decentralization of the media. #4: The “how” of publicity requires some advanced planning; don't wait until your book is already published to start the process. #5: Don't “spray and pray”. #6: Ask “so what?” (and make sure that you're solving the pain point of your target customer) #7: Use the power of the subconscious in your messaging and story #8: Keep at it - using the energy of fun and passion More about Ashley Crouch Ashley Crouch is an award-winning visibility strategist who lands her clients in the most coveted outlets in the country.

Your Inner Critic is a Big Jerk: And Other Truths About Being Creative (Chronicle Books) This book is duct tape for the mouth of every artist's inner critic. Silencing that stifling voice once and for all, this salve for creatives introduces ten truths they must face in order to defeat self-doubt. Each encouraging chapter deconstructs a pivotal moment on the path to success fear of the blank page, the dangers of jealousy, sharing work with others and explains how to navigate roadblock. Packed with helpful anecdotes, thoughts from successful creatives, and practical exercises gleaned from Danielle Krysa's years of working with professional and aspiring artists plus riotously apt illustrations from art world darling Martha Rich this book arms readers with the most essential tool for their toolbox: the confidence they need to get down to business and make good work. Danielle Krysa has a BFA in Fine Arts, and a post-grad in graphic design. She is the writer/curator behind the contemporary art site, The Jealous Curator. In 2014 she published two books, both with Chronicle Books, titled Creative Block and Collage. Her third book, Your Inner Critic Is A Big Jerk was released in October 2016. Danielle has also had the great pleasure of speaking at TEDx  PIXAR, Creative Mornings, CreativeLive, Altitude Summit, and was interviewed for several video segments on Oprah.com. Martha Rich is a Philadelphia-based artist working in both the commercial and fine art fields. Drawing, painting, using words, while being absurd and funny, and having a penchant for painting food is what she does.

In this special episode, we’re talking about the unpredictable and sometimes dramatic ways that we’ve seen the internet change in the last decade. Has social media dethroned blogging? Has sponsored content made things worse? And what has made us more guarded about opening our lives up for public consumption? In this recording of our keynote talk from Altitude Summit, we tackle all of this and more, including why a Bachelorette turned to us for advice, what we regret about a major moment in our career, and what blog comment still brings Sherry to tears.
