Watch this Week’s PR Tip:
FREE PR
Looking to land free PR? Knowing generic topics that are appealing to the media all the time is the best place to start. We’ve talked about Newsjacking in prior blog posts. That’s where you take what’s going on in the news right now and use your expertise to create a story related to that hot news topic. This is one of my favorite ways of landing in the media.
That being said, if you want to consistently land in the media, there are topics that are always relevant. These are topics that are always newsworthy and they include:
health
wealth
relationships
personal growth
business
What stories can you create around these topics? I always talk about doing your homework. What is your dream media outlet, you know the one where your customers are, and then how do they report stories? Make it easy for the journalist to say “yes” to your story idea. By creating a story on a topic that is always relevant (from the list above) and putting it in a format that media outlet likes and uses, you are one step closer to PR success.

This week, I want to talk about some general topics that are very favorable when pitching the media, topics that they’re always looking for.
