Are you having a tough time finding news to report 🧐

Are you having a tough time finding news to report?

Try a spokesperson pitch instead.

It could go something like this:

"Hey XYZ,

I'm reaching out because I'm a regular reader of your articles in XYZ about XYZ topic.

I'm an expert in XYZ who could be a valuable resource for your future stories.

Below, you'll find my bio and a list of topics I’m well-versed in.

📝 Your short bio

📍 A brief list of relevant, hyper-specific topics

📞 Contact information to get in touch

Thanks,

Christina"

Including that quick list of *specific* topics is important because so many journalists use the search bar in their emails to search for sources.

You want YOUR source to stand out when they're looking for specific keywords.

Think of it like email SEO.

You might not land an interview right away, but writers often circle back for future stories weeks, months, and even years down the road.

Get insights from the best business books

You've heard of snackable content, snackable videos, snackable tips... and now snackable books?!

As a book lover… I’m kinda obsessed with this.

You can get the best ideas from 10 great business books every quarter, in a 100-page book with witty hand-drawings (in this AI-era, that's hard to find!)

Check out the sample PDF here.

Just click here to request your FREE copy of the 1st issue.

The first 100 can get the print book mailed to a US address, and the first 1,000 can get the PDF version. (If you’re a hard copy lover like me… hurry up to get the print book mailed!)

It’s been a minute. I’ve been a busy bee with a new role as the PR and Communications Manager at StoryBlok - a company that has a culture I am obsessed with. It literally checks all the boxes. #luckyme I’m still filling up every Little Free Library I spot. (Watch here!) I also hosted a non-profit event to help get dogs adopted. I even made the front page for being the emcee. I’m practicing my violin every week. And you can catch me this coming Sunday on Health Uncensored with Dr. Drew on Fox...

Uh, I made a few mistakes in my last email. The biggest was sending people to my new freebie of what to do after earning media exposure… and having the PDF undeliverable Thankfully, I got some nice emails alerting me to the issue and it was fixed. Then… in the image I made promoting that freebie, I had a typo. The email I got alerting me to that was not so kind. I wrote about it on LinkedIn. Click here to see how it unfolded.
