Gloria shares how she went from being a U.S. diplomat with zero media contacts to landing press features through her signature CPR pitching method.
We dive into practical strategies for getting featured in gift guides, pitching journalists effectively, and using tools like AI and Substack to make DIY PR simple and repeatable. If you're ready to grow your Etsy visibility and credibility, this episode is packed with gold.
