How do journalists on top newspapers and online news sites decide what to write about?

How can you get influential reporters to seek your comments for their stories?

How do you build powerful relationships with journalists whose articles are read by millions worldwide?

What kind of press releases get noticed and turned into front-page news stories?

Are you stumped by how to get quoted in the media?

If so, this course will help get your media strategy off the ground by showing you how to cozy up with mainstream journalists.

You'll learn how to generate tons more media publicity without having to spend a penny on expensive PR consultants.

The course has been created by a journalist who's written for some of the world's leading news organizations, including The Economist, Financial Times and Bloomberg News.

You'll boost your chances of getting on the radar of journalists whose articles reach thousands if not millions of people.

Getting quoted just once in a major newspaper or quality news website can do more for your sales than paying for several adverts in the same publication.

That's because being mentioned in top newspapers and magazines gives you credibility. And credibility inspires trust -- which is precisely what you need to persuade people to buy from you.

If people have seen your name in print repeatedly, they have less hesitation opening up their purses and wallets to pay you.

A respected journalist quoting you in one of their articles also tells readers that you're a genuine authority in your field.

That's why if you don't have a slick media strategy you're probably losing out on tons of business that could be yours easily.

In this course you'll discover a bunch of tactics and gain important insights that will help your business become a brand people recognize instantly. For instance, you'll learn:
