Web Business Woman

Please stop referring to me as Mr. DiVita. Obviously, you know nothing of me or my blog, which makes me wonder why you’re pitching me. (Mr. DiVita is my ex-husband and he doesn’t blog.)

Please stop sending me off-topic pitches. I don’t know what list I’m on but it’s dead wrong. We do not do sex stories on Lip-sticking.

Please stop sending me music video information. I once or twice reported on a music video and it didn’t really work for me. I do not do that kind of reporting any longer. If you read my blog, you’d know that.

Please stop sending me make-up, plastic surgery, healthfood, cooking, and/or kid-focused material. While all good and sometimes relevant to business women, those topics do not lend themselves to the kinds of content we provide here.

Please stop sending me pitches that include ALL the other people you’re pitching, in the CC line. In case you’re not aware of it – that’s spam. I could not follow-up with those emails, and you should not be sharing them. If you need help on how to use email effectively, I can direct you to a good book on it.

Please stop thinking that every woman’s blog is a Mommy blog, or a fashion blog, or a food blog. This blog is a business blog. If I report on lifestyle issues, it’s because I saw a good article in the WSJ or the NYT or on a companion blog. Your pitch on behalf of your expert gets deleted. And don’t mistake an image of a red high heel as an indication I write about shoes. It merely represents strong, powerful women in the workplace.

Please stop sending me pitches meant for Donna or Lena or Mary. Their blog posts are easily identified and if you have something to say about them or to them, leave a comment. I do not send your pitches along to them. They are busy women who are trying to field inappropriate pitches like yours, all day long.

In conclusion, do read the blog and recommend truly relevant information on women and business.

Thank you. Yvonne DiVita
