These are actually very useful templates, thnx a lot.

I like that! Good call. Thanks for sharing.

Anyone else struggle with this?
Great article. Yeah, totally relate to this struggle!

I love the idea of a personal press release exercise. This is a great idea for an indie professional. If you're by yourself, developing habits of accountability is essential. Thanks for sharing this!
