What a great, engaging group of young people I spoke to today! I will be speaking to them again in February and March.

Special thanks to Stephanie Malench for stopping by Gateway CEO this morning. Stephanie is the owner of Collinsville Daily News and Write by Steph. With students working through their individual business plans, Stephanie introduced the students to some Media Do's and Don'ts for Entrepreneurs. Here are some highlights:
- Know your target audience. Determine which section of the paper is best for business type.
- Build a strong relationship with editors and advertising depts at all local media outlets.
- Know what your ask is. Are your promoting a new product, new location or specials?
- Determine how long you want to run your ad and what is the best timing to place the ad.
- When doing an interview or podcast, be sure to confirm if they will be sharing on their platforms and if you can share on yours.
These are great tips for students to discover as they work on bringing their own business to life. Thank you Stephanie Malench for sharing!

I have been so busy with the Collinsville Daily News lately that I forgot to share a couple of new exciting developments with Write By Steph! I have a new YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/ where I will post the podcasts that I have been a guest on and MAYBE eventually put some monologues on talking about different writing tips, writing related news, etc.

I also have a new, more user friendly website, www.writebysteph.com.

Share your videos with friends, family, and the world

If you get a request from this account, report it. Bad enough to take my daddy’s picture but to obliterate his name? 😡
