Have you read my article, 8 Lessons Entrepreneurs Can Learn from Steve Harvey, on LinkedIn? Probably not. Mostly because I did a poor job at promoting it.
To ensure that my article got read by more than my LinkedIn connections (I got over 700 views), I started tweeting it to business publications.
It probably took five whole minutes to do this.
While my main goal was to get attention of the pubs, it caught Mr. Harvey’s attention. Check out his reply to my tweet:
Needless to say, I’m extremely excited. Hope this opens the door to a freelance writing gig at one of the business pubs, even if it’s only one article a month.
How About You?
