Name: Brian O'Connell FoxBusiness.com

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-b7rp@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: FoxBusiness.com

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 3 September

Query:

Hi Folks,

I'm working on a story for Credible/FoxBusiness on what
financial steps a person should take after he/she pays down a
large credit card balance, and it's now at zero.

Obviously, that's great news to financial consumers - having
zero debt on a big credit card. But what should that person do
next? That's the crux of the story.

We're looking to answer these questions in the story:

1. What's your very first move to make after paying down large
credit card debt? And why?

2. What other actions, short- and long-term, should a financial
consumer take after freeing up cash and paying down a big credit
card? And why? (i.e., mortgage debt or refinancing, student loan
debt, etc.)

3. Should the cardholder start paying down other credit card
debt first (need an explanation of debt avalanche here.)?

4. With credit scores boosted from paying down card debt, should
a consumer take out a personal loan to consolidate debt? Why or
why not?

5. Any other comments on the topic you may have?

Thanks so much!


Requirements:

Credit card experts, debt and budget experts, credit experts,
money managers, credit card consumers who have paid down large
card debt

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 3 September

Query:

For my Entrepreneur Journeys series, I'm looking for interesting
virtual companies in technology and technology-enabled services,
companies with at least $5 million in annual revenue. I'm
interested in interviewing the entrepreneur behind the company
who is willing to discuss the nuances of the strategy and
process of company building, spanning topics such as
bootstrapping, financing, positioning, customer acquisition,
channels, team building, etc. To pitch, provide revenue level,
industry and focus of the story angle in terms of
company-building experience. We use the revenue level as a
qualification criterion for selecting entrepreneurs to profile;
we don't necessarily have to publish this number in the actual
story. The Entrepreneur Journeys series has already produced 12
books (http://tinyurl.com/4p4phwy). See examples of the series
on my blog (http://tinyurl.com/d8m9mt). This blog is part of the
One Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is to
help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual revenue.
We use the EJ interviews as case studies to teach other
entrepreneurs how to navigate the entrepreneurial waters. You
get publicity, as well as a platform to share your lessons from
the trenches with a large number of aspiring and practicing
entrepreneurs. 1M/1M has syndication relationships with many
venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India),
Women 2.0, Mashable, Huffington Post, Business Insider,
ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites. Articles often get
repackaged for the syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was
named by Forbes in the Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs
(http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs). I was also named as one of the top
10 LinkedIn influencers of 2015 (https://goo.gl/AN9TjS). The
procedure is to have a one-hour interview by phone or in-person
in my Menlo Park office. We publish a very long, detailed 5- to
10-part interview, so the discussion needs to be in-depth.

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-b7tg@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: The Simple Dollar

Deadline: 7:00 PM PST - 4 September

Query:

We're doing a story about weighing whether picking up side gigs
to help with unemployment is worth it. Businesses like
food/grocery delivery or selling masks on Etsy are booming and
hiring a lot. If you've been laid off and are on unemployment,
is it worth seeking extra income right now or will that
disqualify you for unemployment benefits? Is it worth risking
exposure to COVID? Have people who work in these jobs gotten
COVID? Would the income be higher than your unemployment
benefit? How much do the top side gig companies pay? Etc.
