Friends, I’m basically peeing on myself over here waiting to tell you all the exciting new paths I’ll be walking in 2023. You’ll want to scroll down to the musings section for some bonus content as well. In the meantime, let’s hop into some quick work.
Also, please DON’T SEND ME ANY ADDITIONAL Valentine’s Day pitches for RD. That ship has sailed. <3
Working on now/need pitches:
NewsBreak: A couple more last-minute pieces on romantic places/events to celebrate Valentine’s Day in the Hudson Valley area. Must have great images and a clicky story. Not just “we’re serving champagne.” I mean, I hope you’re serving local champagne in hot tubs overlooking the Hudson River from private balconies carved out by beaks of birds of prey that have roamed the valley since the beginning of time. Or something fun like that, ya know? bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Extra Good: Rounding up the best-ever room sprays for every type of fragrance lover and budget. Bonus for clean fragrances that don’t have tons of chemical additives. Amazon links and Skimlinks-only. No min ratings requirement, but I do love social shares <3 bryce@theluxuryspot.com
ALSO! Start dreaming up your best, most enticing pitches around parenting gear and things new parents absolutely MUST have. I’ll be working on way more of this content in the coming weeks <3 Not ready for those pitches just yet, just giving y’all a heads up on brainstorming time. Product features, reviews, listicles—the works. Be smart about SEO. Be generous with social shares.

Musings:
If you’re an Affiliate Tribe subscriber, you also know that I have two FREE live video calls coming up this week to break down all your burning affiliate marketing questions and give you the SEO pitch tricks that will absolutely transform the way you approach editors. We’ll also cover what the recent batch of layoffs means for content production and getting your pitches to land on receptive desks.
The calls will be tomorrow and Friday with a max of 100 participants each. They’re open to anyone who is a current and active member of the Affiliate Tribe. Not already a member? Here’s a discount code, but expires shortly.
Also, are we connected on LinkedIn yet? That’s the first public place I’ll share news about my new career adventures, so let’s be friends there. Plus, I love cheering for everyone else’s work achievements!
Finally, after a chaotic few weeks of media industry news, this is your reminder that you’re worth SO much. Take time away from your desk. Go for a long walk. Make an effort to connect with healthy, like-minded colleagues who root for your success. Do something today that supports your creative and emotional growth. Tomorrow is just that—another day.
Till next time, bubbeleh!
