We made it!
It’s almost the holiday weekend, and a lot of us are signing off in a matter of hours. YAY! Before all that, I wanted to update everyone on my story pipeline so we all have a headstart on the next week. I’ll also be off for Rosh Hashanah, so I’ll do my best to get through emails today/tomorrow morning.
Upcoming:
Taste of Home: Best dishwashing products (ideally on Amazon with 500+ great reviews). bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Family Handyman *urgent*: I need a fire chief, fire inspector, or OG fire person to lend commentary on an article about home fire safety. Is that someone you know? Would like to send ?s today! bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Taste of Home: The best turkeys you can order online (affiliate links, please). bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Readers Digest: Pitch me your bestselling Amazon products with thousands of GREAT reviews for my ongoing weekly you-need-to-shop-this column. Ideally several thousand great reviews, something that simplifies life for the average woman (please, nothing rated beyond PG-13), and is affordable for the average American. bryce@theluxuryspot.com
Holiday gift guides: I’ll be slowly piecing these together throughout September. The big rush will be at the end of this month and early October. If you’re thinking of pitching HGG content in mid-November, you’re too late. This is a good opportunity to go back to clients and tell them even digital eds are early to the holiday game so we can make the most of Google’s ever-changing algo. Per the usual, affiliate is the name of the game.
LDW: I got oodles of roundup stories out celebrating these deals, but I didn’t get to highlight a few goodies that came my way after my deadlines. Seriously, you should all check out this treasure trove of T.J. Maxx deals (I wish I had time to cover these tie-dye pajama pants being only $5 and selling out & Beauty Blender Foundations being insanely cheap, but c’est la vie). I’m done writing new content for LDW though as most of the layout teams are already off the clock!
