It's no secret that press coverage is massively important for new companies and products. Whether you want to reach new customers, get a meeting with that investor you're after, or just build a sense of social proof and legitimacy around your brand, being featured in a popular media outlet is an excellent way to reach your goals—without spending a dime!
But how do you get a reporter to write about you?
I spent the better part of a decade working as a tech journalist, where I endured pitch after terrible pitch from thousands of hopeful entrepreneurs and marketing executives, all trying to score some coverage from me. After giving coverage to hundreds of companies and turning down thousands of others, it's become apparent to me that most people don't know how to approach journalists.
And that's a shame, because it doesn't take much to do it right. You don't need to hire an agency or get a public relations degree—you just need to understand what works and what doesn't.
This course is a complete guide to getting your company featured in the press. It covers everything from building and leveraging relationships with journalists to reaching out cold and nailing the pitch. If you follow my advice, I fully expect that you'll get at least half a dozen valuable press mentions over the next month or so.
Here are a few things you'll learn in this course:
How to build and leverage relationships with reporters
How to find the right journalists to contact (the ones most likely to write about you)
How to build a compelling narrative around your brand
How to create a press kit
How to write a pitch that journalists respond to
How to handle negative publicity
A secret weapon to help you get press coverage in record time
In addition to the content of this course, you'll get lifetime access to the private Q&A board where I can answer any questions you have as you go along.

- This PR course is designed for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and marketers looking for an actionable strategy to get their companies or products featured in the press.
The first secret of successful PR? Relationships are key. This section will teach you how to build and leverage relationships with journalists.
If you want coverage from a journalist, it helps to think like a journalist. This lecture covers some ways to build relationships with journalists by taking a close look at what they want.
Sometimes, pre-existing relationships just aren't available, so you have to reach out cold. Even if you do know a couple of journalists, it's a good idea to reach out to as many others as you can to increase your chances of success. In this section, we'll cover everything you need to know about cold outreach.
Which journalists should you reach out to? You can probably name a few people you'd like to speak with, but don't get carried away! This lecture will explain the process of locating the reporters most likely to write about your company so you don't waste your time. We'll also talk about the order in which you should contact reporters to maximize your results.
So far, we've discussed how to build relationships with journalists and how to reach out cold. But you know what's better than both of those? Having reporters come to you.
In this lecture, I share a secret weapon that can help you get coverage in record time. It's not a replacement for the rest of this course (hence why I saved it for last), but it can supplement your efforts and get you and your company into some of the world's largest media outlets.
