    SHARE: Join Our Email List June 9, 2021 NASJA Helps You Generate Revenue Only six months to go before the ski season begins anew in North America. That gives each of us an entire summer to plan how we can profit from covering snowsports. That’s been the focus of my tenure since spring 2019 and will continue now that I’m privileged to serve as NASJA president for another two-year term. Take Professional Development seminars, for instance. Zoom isn’t great, but it’s the best we’ve had to work with during the cold, dark winter of Covid. We’ve held seminars on backcountry safety, Covid protocols, pitching media, pitching book ideas, and coming up June 23, 2021, a session on Supercharging Your Social Media. Even during a pandemic, NASJA served up valuable business opportunities for its members. If you get just one great idea or make one valuable contact through your membership, your time will be well-spent. After our Pitching the Media session in February with representatives from Mountain Gazette, Mountain Life Media, NSAA Journal, Ski, Ski Canada, and Skiing History, new member Sarah Kuta, a prolific freelancer from Longmont, Colorado, received four story assignments that paid for her membership several times over. Over lunch recently, she told me, "To me, being successful as a freelancer is all about building relationships. NASJA introduced me to new editors, which is valuable in its own right, but also provided a platform for getting to know them and learning how we might work together. “Our NASJA membership also meant we had something in common, which I think helped foster an immediate sense of trust and confidence in each other." Membership renewal notices will be mailed this summer.
