Has this ever happened to you? You create the best 10x piece of content imaginable. (It really is 10x right?) You invest time, research and money into it.
You hit publish and you know it’s going to go crazy!
But then it doesn’t.
That’s because “build it and they will come” is not always true. You have to build it, promote it – and then if you’re content and message is good enough – people will care.
Or maybe you DID pitch it, and people still didn’t care.
Let’s assume you’re content is good enough to make people care. Today you will learn how to get it in front of the publishers that can open the door to massive exposure.
Today, you will learn how to craft pitches publishers actually open, read and accept. My guest Kerry Jones from Fractl has studied what publishers want, and has the data to back it up.
