Many people want to know: To Market to Market, Where do I Market?
Well, here is a list of where I do some Marketing and Advertising and how to do them per their request. If you have any others to share not on this list, let me know.
Also remember many require an Actual Press Release so prepare that first. (and by the way I found out the hard way MailChimp Lists are NOTTTTTTT the way to go because then they unsubscribe AND they won’t post them or share if thye are not in Press Release format)
| Remember some places require a Press Release. Prepare PR FIRST, then go down list | What means required to contact Form or Email | |
