FAQs

Yes and no.

Airtable has four pricing options – free, plus, pro and enterprise.

You don’t need to pay for an Airtable subscription in order to use the Pitch & Publication Tracker. All of its functionality is accessible from the free plan.

The short answer is, nothing.

The long answer is, everything.

Excel & Google Sheets can be a bit of a free-for-all because any sort of information can be recorded in any cell, row or sheet.

Airtable has robust functionality and a strong underlying structure which means that relationships can be established between the information you enter.

For example:

1. pitches can be linked to editors

2. editors can be linked to publications

3. commissions can be linked to invoices

4. notes can be linked to editors, or publications, or pitches, or resources, or all of the above.

5. resources can be linked to publications or contacts.

The best thing? You can also choose how you want to view your information. For example:

a. publications by genre or pay rate

b. pitches by status

c. commissions by due date

d. notes by type or date

e. resources by category or creator/owner, etc.

You have greater control over what information goes where, how that information is linked to other information, and in what format it is organised and viewed.

Basically, Airtable is much, much nicer to use than Excel or Google Sheets!

The shortest is 2 minutes and the longest is 19 minutes.

Anyone that has paid for an Airtable consultation, template or VIP Day through me gets access to my private Facebook group where all your questions are answered.

A link to join the group is included in a follow-up email that is sent after the Pitch & Publication Tracker is purchased.

No.

The Pitch & Publication Tracker is a digital product that you get immediate access to.

All sales are final. No refunds are offered.

However, if you have questions you’d like answered in order to make a decision about purchasing, please reach out to me at hello@cassewing.com

Yes.

In order to use the Pitch & Publication Tracker you will need an Airtable account.

Setting up an account should take you no more than 10 minutes and does not require any payment details.

If you decide to purchase the Pitch & Publication Tracker the first email you will receive from me will include a video to show you how to create an account in Airtable.

Yes. The Airtable app is available for iOs and Android devices.

The Pitch & Publication Tracker has been pre-filled with dummy information to demonstrate what information you need to put where.

I wanted to make it as easy as possibly for you to familiarise yourself with it so you can get the most out of its functionality immediately.

All you need to do is replace the dummy information with your own information – and the videos will walk you through how to do that – and you’ll be ready to rock-n-roll.

That said, you will need to dedicate several hours to get it properly populated with your own information. But, once it’s done, it’s done and you’ll reap the rewards in saved time and ongoing ease of access.
