A Savvy Start:

A young entrepreneur builds her media empire

Nicole Richie Needs an Intern: Apparently, That’s Enough

Well, for those of you who didn’t see, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden’s foundation posted an internship listing with my site and–POW–the masses come to follow. The traffic on my site increased significantly, thanks to a few news/celeb blog articles on the Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation internship. Now, just because it has a great name doesn’t mean it’s the only great organization offering an internship. In the world of foundations, we also have Gen Art and Arts Alliance America internship opportunities.

So my blog advice is, if your business can get some sort of celebrity spin, it can really be a great thing. The first article about Richie/Madden using my blog ran on EOnline.com, and it was followed by articles on Pink Is the New Blog, Nicole Richie Fansite and other celeb-news destinations.

My scheduling and timing for things have been going a lot better. In additional organizational efforts, I created a large binder where I’m going to print out all of my follow-up sheets each week. I have one for partnerships, sponsorships, publicity, students and schools. I printed them all out and also put all of the new Quarterlife Internship Program press into the folder. This is easier to go through at night to see whom I still need to call, etc.
