Imagine yourself as the guest on a national news show. You’re being asked for your expert opinion with millions of people watching.
Or an influential industry expert with a huge Twitter following retweets your content and sends a flood of traffic to your blog or website.
Or maybe your story or article has just been printed in a magazine with 3 million circulation. Your phone starts to ring, and ring and ring. This kind of success isn’t hard to achieve if you know the insider tricks of the trade.
Or a guest blog post for an A-list blogger brings a geyser of traffic to your website…and sales galore.
The entire media landscape has changed since I published “How to be a Kick-butt Publicity Hound” more than a decade ago.
Many of the old “top tier” media outlets, like Newsweek magazine, for instance, are gone, gone, gone…
In their place are a wide variety of social media outlets that don’t make you rely on traditional media to reach your target audience.
The Internet gives you far more power today than you had even a year ago to not only push out your message to the masses, but to make it easy for people who need you to find you. We know the tools and strategies you can use, and they’re in this Fourth Edition.
Free publicity is as much about “building the buzz” for your own expertise by sharing killer content on the social media sites as it is “pushing out” your message or promotions.
