Helen was a freelance health and fitness writer for many years. She was also a health/wellness columnist.
For a billion years she’s been a creative director, and a fitness pro for almost as long—often at the same time. She lost over 80 pounds naturally 16 years ago and wrote the book, “21 Days to Change Your Body (and Your Life)” to help people lose weight while still eating cake.
She’s the creator of the coached walk/podcast “Walking & Talking with Helen.” She helps people move their bodies while firing up their motivation. Every step counts.
She also helps entrepreneurs grow their businesses using ethical marketing techniques and tech shortcuts so they can save time and focus on their passion.
Reignite Inc. – the nonprofit she founded – aims to help women gain skills to re-enter the workforce. Without modern skills, many women get left behind and cannot find jobs to provide for their families.
In her “off time” she teaches Spinning, photograph bands at concerts, volunteer, and travel.
1. Guest post in as many blogs as you can
Find a blog that has enough traffic to get your voice out there and get you noticed. Read the articles because you want to write in that same form based on its audience.
Tip:
2. Start your own blog to find your voice.
3. Create credibility for yourself like in the media.
Resource tip: HARO you can help find out what people are looking for.
HARO is one platform that can help you get your writing noticed by your target audience. People can go and register for a newsletter about any topics (e.g. health-related issues). So, if you have a blog, then you can answer these queries. It helps you get quality backlinks to your blog which helps your blog rank on search engines. If you search for your name, your name will come up as a source of the article and that helps in establishing you as an authority in that field.
Her favorite book: Atomic Habits by James Clear
