Hey First name / babe,
If you're a business owner, entrepreneur, or someone with serious skills, you've probably thought to yourself before, “How TF do I start landing media opportunities online?” 📰
We've all seen those shiny ‘AS SEEN IN’ areas on websites listing noteworthy features and press opportunities, and we know those features instantly boost a business's/creator's/product's credibility and authority.
But before you dish out big bucks or hire an expensive PR expert to land an ‘AS SEEN IN’ feature, there are some ways to DIY your press accolades and dip your toe in the water of pitching.
Before I dive into some tried and true tips on landing press features, podcast interviews, and speaking opportunities, I want to say this 👇
Your number of media features does not equal your worth or ability to make money. There are hundreds and thousands of successful entrepreneurs online who are doing the damn thing without ever once being featured in a publication or a podcast.
Yes, press is good. It can give you that extra level of credibility, establish authority, and open up opportunities and doors you didn't know existed–but this is not something to stress over. Chasing press doesn't make you a better insert-skill-service-here. It doesn't mean you'll become famous or successful over night. And it sure as heck doesn't make you less than if you don't have them. 🗣
But, sometimes the only way to get noticed is to put yourself out there. I always say to myself, for every 5 ‘no’s I get will come a ‘yes.’ And that yes could be the one thing that makes waves for you or establishes the confidence you need to pitch your next big idea, conference, or podcast.
So let's get pitchin'.
