I've got a meeting next week with one of the UK's largest events companies - and if it goes well, I'll be speaking at business events around the country. First time I've pursued this. Nervous and excited in equal measure. The reason I'm doing it: you don't own YouTube, LinkedIn, or Skool. Any platform can remove you without notice. Speaking is one of the few channels you actually control. Will report back after the call next week. Anyone else taken their online business offline? What worked?

If you are using AI to write your media pitches, you might be blacklisting yourself before you even start. In this snippet, Maria (The Soul Stylist) reveals why journalists can spot "AI-speak" from a mile away and why it’s a mistake you can’t come back from. For coaches and consultants, getting featured in the press is the ultimate authority builder - but only if you follow the "Unwritten Rules" of the newsroom: - The AI Trap: Never use ChatGPT for your pitch; editors view it as a lack of professional integrity.   - The "Ice-Breaker" Strategy: Journalists are people too. Learn to find common ground on platforms like X or Facebook to break the ice before you ever send a pitch.   - The Detail Gap: Most people fail because they don’t read the specific instructions in a journalist's request. Watch the clip to see how Maria leveraged her unique niche to land her first major article by highlighting the dangers of "AI Life Coaches".

So, what is the difference between The Content Revenue Lab and this new community? Quite a lot, actually. In the Content Revenue Lab, I teach over 40s how to monetise their YouTube channels. Whether that's via a Skool community or digital products, and even courses. This community is actually set up to work with COACHES AND CONSULTANTS who already have coaching and consulting clients. You're already using social media, but you either haven't thought of using YouTube or never knew you could actually get leads from it. In this community, we also teach you how to use YouTube as your customer service agent, your marketing agent, and your sales agent. Believe it or not, YouTube can do all three.
