You Are Ready for Your First Media Spots... and they won't be your last!
TV producers, editors, and journalists in your market (and others) are actively looking for you… like today!
It's true.
Decision makers in the media need you just like you need them, even if you have never been featured in the media before! They are constantly on the hunt for people who are well-prepared to give them what they need:
a great story to tell
the ability to think creatively about how you share your story
expertise and professionalism
So -
While you have a lot of the necessary elements in place to secure your first media placements, you probably still need help including understanding how to approach the media in a way that makes you irresistible to decision makers. In other words, you need a hook - a reason your news is hot right now and the media should cover you.
Great news:
I am inviting to you join my free Facebook Group, The Visibility Collaborative, where other experts, like you, are also learning to package their expertise and gain a wider audience through securing free media placements.
In this group, there are a few things I want to call out so you are sure to take advantage of them:
Monday Media Makeovers: These are short livestreams where I review a media pitch or an online media kit/page and provide tips on how to improve upon them to increase your chances of obtaining media coverage. Send in your pitch or media page to be added to the list of Makeovers! You benefit from free advice and viewers benefit because these lessons are universal!
I host a FREE CHALLENGE where I will walk you through the tweaks to take so you are ready to take full advantage of all the free media opportunities that are awaiting you.
In the UNITS tab, I have an infographic that shows you proven pitch angles that TV producers love. You'll definitely want to check that out to see what opportunities you have right in front of you. Many times, experts at your level get booked on TV in a week or two.
Also, while you're in the UNITS tab, check out the free workbooks, checklists, and other resources I've created to help you prepare for your time in the spotlight!
I will see you in the media soon! Until then, I'll see you in The Visibility Collaborative.
Best,
-Meredith Liepelt
