PR Advice

When my clients land in the media, one of the first things they ask me is , “Now what?”

Media provides so much credibility for an expert – but it’s up to you, as that expert, to use the media appearance to your advantage. The first thing you want to do, of course, is to put it everywhere – your website, post on LinkedIn and all other active social media platforms, if you use Twitter, schedule it in a media “bucket” so it is regularly posted, and/or write a blog post about it. You want to share that media hit anywhere you are active online.

Also, don’t forget about “Throwback Thursdays” on social media to highlight it again and again. You can always pin the post on Facebook or Twitter so anyone who comes to those platforms will see it first. When you gather a few logos, put that everywhere too. Media logos allow you to borrow that outlet’s credibility.

The piece that most people miss, however, is that landing in the media is a great way to connect with existing and potential clients and customers. This is your big opportunity to show people you hope to work with that you are seen as an authority in the media. Here’s my big tip… update your signature line with your latest article or television segment, “Check out my latest article in [media outlet w/link].”

Studies show that people in the media are seen as more credible and are able to charge more for their services. Now is your opportunity to get that media exposure and use it your advantage to attract your dream clients.
