It's 2021 and many of us are trying to make sense of our

But it can be hard when you're in a money rut. I am looking to
highlight 8 specific steps you can implement to rebound after a
hard financial stretch. This is different from resolutions, in
that I'm looking for ways to dig yourself up out of a bad place.
So, step 1 might be: Improve Your Credit Score. Each step I'm
asking for financial experts to illuminate. So, your quotes
should look like this:

1. Your name, title, pronouns and a hyperlink to your site (in
your company name) 2. Your suggested step or steps (can submit
up to 8) 3. How to execute this step and why it will help you
get out of your rut.

Thanks! Please note that I can only feature financial experts --
meaning your job ties to finance in some way. I realize that
might be obvious, but I get so many responses from people who
don't have any financial license. I totally get that you might
still have good advice -- but I can't quote you if you're not a

55) Summary: Building Energy Management - Tenant Engagement

Name: Janine Scott Communitech News

Category: Energy and Green Tech

Email: query-bmmw@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Communitech News

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 5 January

Query:

When it comes to energy management in REITS, buildings, or any
situation where there are building owners and tenants, energy
management is highly dependent on tenants. Be it, commercial
tenants or residential tenants, how do you encourage
participation in energy programs or encourage energy-efficient
behaviors?

We are looking for comments from REITS, Energy Managers, or
Energy companies about supporting and encouraging tenant
engagement to support energy savings. For example, if your
building enrolls in Demand Response or actively avoid Capacity
charges associated with Peaks, how have you encouraged tenants
to support such initiatives? Do you pass along savings to
tenants, or bill through to them, etc?

Outside of encouraging participation, do you have any examples
of situations that have arisen out of poor tenant behavior? Such
as driving up energy expenses by actively avoiding notifications
or calls for efficiency measures. How have you dealt with those
situations?

To summarize: Do you actively encourage tenant engagement for
energy efficiencies? If yes, how so? If no, why not? What have
been some of your most successful strategies to date? What are
the biggest challenges in promoting tenant engagement? If your
tenants do you participate, how do you control or manage energy
usage to lower the expense?

Name: Janine Scott Communitech News

Category: Energy and Green Tech

Email: query-bmq4@helpareporter.net

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 5 January

Query:

Municipalities and Energy Use

Municipalities have a broad scope of enterprises and activities
to be monitored - ice rinks, water treatment facilities, parks,
office and warehouse buildings, and more.

Each of these uses energy, which can be expensive, and are
overhead costs that are eventually covered by citizens and tax
dollars. Thus a pressure from constituents to lowers
expenditures.

Additionally, locally, statewide or province-wide, and
federally, there may also be mandates or initiatives to curb
energy use, use green or clean energy, or achieve some
sustainability or emissions goals.

How do you manage your city's energy usage, costs, and emissions
from a municipality point of view? What are some best practices
you've put in place? Do you have success stories to share in
areas where you've been successful in achieving any goals?

Query:

I am look for therapists who are interested in speaking with me
about how to tackle game anxiety.

There's the "stop and start" pattern where you start and stop at
various points of the game to gather your thoughts, the
"walkthrough" pattern where you need to use one to "control" the
game and know what's coming next, and the "never finish" pattern
where games pile up and "nag" you to show your failure to
complete it. Though these patterns aren't inherently connected
to anxiety, when a gamer dealing with it constantly struggles
with it during gameplay, it can be debilitating.

Requirements:

I want to have diverse voices in this article so anyone who fits
across different race, class, gender, disability, etc
perspectives, you're a therapist, and you understand or know how
to tackle game anxiety, then I want to hear from you.

Media Outlet: One Million by One Million

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 5 January

Query:

Hi, My name is Sheldon Chi. I am responsible for coordinating
stories for the 1Mby1M blog [1mby1m.com]]. The Entrepreneur
Journeys (EJ) series is our flagship series and we're looking
for interesting companies with at least $5 million in annual
revenue to feature in lengthy feature stories. We are interested
in interviewing the entrepreneur who can and is willing to
discuss, at length, 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, please provide revenue level, industry
(Our interests: E-Commerce, Cloud Computing, SaaS, Mobile,
Social, Big Data, IoT, FinTech, Digital Media, Gaming,
Healthcare IT, Online Education, etc.) 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). You can see examples of the series
on our 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 also 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 we develop
through these interviews 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). The
procedure is to have a one-hour interview by phone or in-person
in Menlo Park, at our office. We will provide the dial-in for
phone interviews, and the address for the in-person interviews.

Requirements:

When you send in your pitch, please be sure to include the
revenue level, as it is the primary criterion we use to select
stories. Unlike other entrepreneurship media, we do not look for
financing as a criterion for determining story worthiness. Also,
if your revenue threshold is below the $5M level currently, you
are welcome to email me, and I will check if your story might
fit in any of our other series. To give you a flavor, here are
some of our other ongoing series: The 1M/1M Deal Radar: Revenue
between $1M and $5M, high growth rate. We typically do email
interviews for this series. Thought Leader Interviews: We also
have Thought Leader Series opportunities in Cloud Computing,
Cyber Security, Mobile and Social, Big Data, Outsourcing, Online
Education, e-commerce, Gaming, Online Fashion, HealthcareIT,
Internet Of Things, etc. These require, however, that the
company has a minimum of $5M in revenue.

119) Summary: Seeking domestic violence/intimate partner violence survivors on economic/financial cost of survival

Name: Lauren Krouse Freelance

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-bq5t@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Freelance

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 22 January

Query:

Hi! I am a survivor of IPV/DV and freelance writer
pre-researching for a story pitch on the cost of leaving a
relationship with an abuser. I'm seeking stories from survivors
who are open to sharing what expenses they accrued in order to
survive and how they dealt with them by January 22, 2021 7 pm
EST. Nearly three out of four domestic violence abuse victims
stay with an abusive partner or return to them--sometimes for
years--due to financial struggles, per a 2018 Institute for
Women's Policy Research survey. I want to shed a light on the
challenges women face when it comes to so many different
expenses (such as paying for damages to their apartment and
medical bills, finding new housing, applying for help, seeking
legal counsel, wading through court, childcare, and more), where
there are holes/failures in systems meant to support them, and
what solutions women and organizations are coming up with to
deal with them. You would have the opportunity to share your
story anonymously, change any details as necessary for privacy
and safety, and review any quotes/pieces of their story included
in any piece before publication. Here are my questions:

*Tell me about your financial/economic situation when you were
in a relationship with an abuser. For instance: Did you and/or
your partner work in and outside of the home such as employment,
gig work, childcare, etc.? Did you have any savings/debt/income?
What were your regular expenses? Did your partner control your
finances or economic situation in any way (such as preventing
you from working or maintaining employment)? *What
costs/expenses/debts did you accrue during/after the
relationship as a result of abuse (For example: work
hours/employment loss, need to find employment or new housing,
damages to apartment, medical bills, legal fees, new clothing,
furniture, food, childcare, etc.)? *Did your
financial/economic situation impact (or not impact) your
decision-making about whether or not to leave your abuser or
your ability to do so? If so, how? If not, why not? *In the
process of surviving/leaving, if there were instances when you
could not pay for or afford something, how did you manage (For
example: postponed leaving, borrowed money from friends, family,
banks, or other organizations, applied for/received aid from
government, shelter, or nonprofit, took on more work, etc.)?
*Based on your experience, what do you want to see change for
survivors when it comes to financial/economic support? For
example, what would have helped you or made a difference in your
situation? *Is there anything else you'd like to add about
this topic?

Requirements:

Survivor of domestic violence/intimate partner violence open to
sharing story about financial/economic situation and comfortable

152) Summary: What would make travelers feel safer in 2021?

Name: Christopher Elliott The Washington Post

Category: Travel

Email: query-bqcx@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: The Washington Post

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 5 January

Query:

I'm researching a story about the things that would make you
feel safer in 2021 -- safe enough to plan a trip or to go on
vacation. What are some of the things your airline, cruise line,
hotel, car rental company, or travel agent can do to make you
feel more comfortable about traveling? What are some of the
things it should not do? From people in the travel industry, I'm
interested in any new initiatives that are designed to make
people feel safer. What do you think it will take to make
travelers feel more secure?

Requirements:

Please read this before answering. I'd be very grateful if you
could send an initial response to my questions by email. Please
do not respond with a note that says you would like to be
considered for this story or want to set up a phone interview
with a source. I'm happy to consider you for this story. I've
included all of my questions in this query. Please take a minute
to briefly answer them. Kindly do not cut-and-paste answers from
previously published materials, such as press releases or blog
posts. If a phone interview is necessary, I will follow up right
away. Be sure to include your full name and a jargon-free, brief
(two to three word) description of your company or affiliation
as you would like it to appear in the article. I will do my
absolute best to acknowledge that I received your pitch and will
make every effort to let you know when the story appears. More
information on my queries can be found on my site:

153) Summary: How to find a travel advisor after the pandemic

Name: Christopher Elliott The Washington Post

Category: Travel

Email: query-bqcy@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: The Washington Post

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 5 January

Query:

Many travel agencies have gone out of business during the
pandemic. I'm looking for someone whose agent is no longer in
business and has had to find a new advisor. Where did you find a
new agent? Did you find an agent through a website or a personal
referral? I'm also interested in hearing from agents who have
added new clients during the pandemic. Were there any who came
to you because their agent was no longer in business? How did
they find you? From travel experts, I'd be very interested in
your advice for finding a good travel agent after the pandemic.
