Can you believe we are past half way - here is Thing #6 - How to Get FREE Media Coverage which includes:
All for FREE!! This is a must watch.
So, how many of you bought Breakthrough Advertising?
Not many I'm guessing, which is a pretty sad affair.
It's only $155 and if you can't see beyond making an investment that a coach is recommending to you...ahead of his own books, then I wonder what really lies ahead for your business.
That said, there are three great, FREE ways to get media coverage for your business.
I'll outline them here:
This is a completely free newswire service which any business owner can sign up to. You can select various categories depending on the nature of your business.
You will receive email updates containing journalist requests for experts 2 or 3 times per day (depending on the category). These are requests from bloggers, influencers, podcast hosts, magazine and journalists looking for expert commentary on all things business and finance.
and their Facebook page Help a Reporter Out
Just make sure you create a bio, have a great headshot and have a template with with some social media links to send to requests.
Typically you only have 2-3 days to reply, so you also need to be quite quick.
This is a paid for service (entry level £150 per year) but the quality of the requests are much better than HARO in my opinion.
The only downside is that they are also less frequent, maybe 2-3 per week. But they are much better requests from platforms with a broader reach than HARO.
and their Facebook page JournoLink
You can sign up for free, and I'd recommend signing up to all three to test the water and see what sort of requests come through.
Finally, JournoRequests, also a free service, but with sources pulled directly from Twitter using the tag #JournoRequest.
The dashboard sports a livestream of the most recent requests.
They also send through a daily digest via email, which is comprehensive and full of random requests.
The only downside is sometimes the quality of the requests, but the volume and frequency is worthwhile enough to subscribe to as there is often some gold inside.
and their Facebook Page ResponseSource
I regularly tag in clients and colleagues into posts, which makes me look good as well!!
Enjoy folks, let me know how you get on.
Stay Fearless!
