I want to help my fellow Soho Masterminders to create a fast and effective way to get media attention and not waste time and lose the opportunities I have. There's been interest in my recommendations on how can publicity for their businesses. I want everyone who wants it to get lots and lots of media attention! 

I am offering individual 30 Minute Publicity Plan meetings to get my advice on how to get publicity for your business. This will be a one on one meeting where you and I will determine what will get print, radio and television attention. And paying to be on TV, radio and print isn't going to be part of the plan.

You need to stand out from the crowd to get TV stations, newspapers and radio stations to read your press release, take your call and reach out to contact you. Yes, become an Expert in your field and you the media will reach out to you. Sweet!

There are many Dating Coaches and without any media training or experience, I’ve been on TLC (and worked a second show where I was featured three times), UsaToday, every local television station, the Arizona Republic multiple times including a 2/3 page photo and 2 page interview that had my phone ringing off the hook, Phoenix Magazine and other print and radio stations (here’s a partial list www.joanncohen.com/about/joann-cohen-media-coverage , I am not bragging but to let you know If I did it - and I made many, many mistakes  - I know you can too.

For interested Soho Master Minders, I’ll be having individual meetings on Thursday, March 10^th from 11-5 (Ronnie’s offices) and Friday, March 11^th from 5:30 – 7:00 (
