Interview with Amy Scalia of Cincy Chic

Yesterday, I met with the 27-year-old pint-sized powerhouse, Amy Scalia, editor-in-chief of Cincy Chic.

For the past three years, she’s been the founder and owner of Cincy Chic, an online-only publication geared towards the professional woman aged mid-20s to late-50s that deals with all things beauty, fashion and style-related in the Cincinnati, OH area.  If you’re not in the know, it’s a SUPER resource to those interested in projecting the best image as a woman that you can.  Check them out now at www.cincychic.com.

I had a fantastic time chatting and learning from the wealth of knowledge she provided.  Here’s some of the things we talked about:

• How she launched her online media business to 20,000+ unique visitors per month
  
• Why being highly skilled in your field is NOT enough to run a successful company
  
• Her take on what style is…
  
• Why some trends are successful and others fall flat
  
• Being stylish on a budget
  
• Fashion resources you might not know about
  
• How to stand out from the herd to get media coverage
  
• What it’s REALLY like to be a business owner…
  
• Advice about when is the best time to start your company
