I help coaches & consultants get featured in prestigious magazines and podcast shows so they get SEEN, HEARD and HIGHLY PAID.
WHO AM I?
Hello ambitious human
I’m Simone Sauter!
Certified PR Consultant with 20+ years experience in the media and PR world, Visibility Strategist, Storyteller, Publicity Rockstar™, bestselling author, wife, mother to two tiny humans and a huge fan of rock and heavy metal music 🤘
In 2014 I launched my first business in the relationship coaching niche. I was new to business and followed the advice of all the online marketing gurus and “did all the things” – and I ended up being exhausted and frustrated.
Here’s what
happened
In 2012, my ex-partner left me after a 10-year relationship, completely out of the blue. And even worse, he ‘replaced’ me within only four weeks and moved on with his life (yes, really!).
I was devastated, and it took me a good two years to get back on my feet.
The pain shaped me; it helped me to find out who I really am and what I really want for my life.
But my path was rocky and exhausting, and when I looked back on it, I knew I could have reached this point faster had someone guided and supported me.
That was my number one reason for starting my first business as a Breakup and Divorce Coach.
It was my mission to let women whose partners left (and often ‘replaced’) them know they’re good enough and that there was a way out of the pain and hopelessness they were feeling.
Back in 2014, at the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey, I followed all the marketing gurus’ advice and “did all the things” (i.e. social media, blogging, podcasting, newsletter marketing, webinars, summits, FB ads, etc.) – I ended up exhausted and frustrated because I wasn’t able to reach the women I was supposed to reach and make the impact I so badly wanted to make.
So, I turned back to my core career essence, which is journalism and PR. I decided to leverage the reach, impact and reputation of the media and podcasters for my business growth.
And it was the best decision I ever made!
Here’s what I achieved:
- I got featured in media outlets like Cosmopolitan, Instyle and Closer, along with countless huge national women’s magazines and websites with millions of readers. Click here, if you want to see examples.
- I shared my story with numerous podcasts and TV shows.
- I built a blog with 100.000+ monthly (organic!) readers.
- I got a book deal with a huge publishing house and wrote a bestselling book.
Because of all this, I received countless emails and blog comments thanking me for my work. My programs always sold out, and most of the time, I was fully booked.
I made the money I desired AND a world-changing impact at the same time.
This is what I want for you too.
This is why I want to help you get media attention. It is the easiest, fastest and least expensive way to share your message with the world.
Are you ready? Awesome!
Getting featured in the media and on podcast shows is NOT optional if you want to grow a highly-profitable coaching + consulting business!
Many coaches and consultants think that media and podcast coverage is a nice gimmick that they will work on ‘somewhere down the road of entrepreneurship’.
Let me tell you one thing
The coaching market is VERY crowded. It became more crowded during Covid as people had to make career shifts, and it will grow even more. It’s estimated that the coaching market is a $20 billion USD industry by 2022.
What does that mean for you?
You need to stand out in the sea of competition.
You need to build authority, trust and credibility to be able not only to stay in the market, but to run a highly profitable business!
Media and podcast features can do all of that at once!
I have created an easy to follow step-by-step process. The beauty about my approach is that following my Publicity Rockstar™ Method, my clients get all they need to build an impactful and profitable brand: Visibility, Authority, Credibility and Trust.
Don't buy into that one limiting belief...
I talk to so many coaches and consultants who think they aren’t ready to get media and podcast coverage yet. Please know, even if you started your business yesterday, you are able to land amazing features! Why? Because the media doesn’t look for the most experienced coaches and consultants, they look for those who add the most value to their audience. So let’s get started today!
