Oakland Small Business Week Workshop: DIY Media & Blogger Outreach

Local Food Adventures • May 02, 2018

Thank you so much for attending my Oakland Small Business Week workshop entitled “Get Noticed! DIY Media & Blogger Strategies to Tell Your Story.”

As stated in the Local Food Adventures’ boilerplate, I believe in supporting local businesses and the community. That is one of the biggest reasons on why I started the Rockridge Neighborhood Heritage Food Tour ( … plus, I really like food and meeting new people!) I hope that this workshop gives you the tools and confidence to toot your own horn, and get relevant media and bloggers to talk about you.

Here are the materials shared in my Oakland Small Business Week presentation that I hope help you get started:
