30. What single publication can give you countless ideas for media pitches

One of the most important components of a system for getting more media interviews is a pitch file. This is a folder, or maybe a notebook, or some software online – I use Evernote – that allows you to capture ideas and articles for use later.

In whatever field you work in, you will have one or more topics that are right up your alley. You should definitely pitch those ideas to reporters, producers and show hosts. You just can’t keep pitching that same topic over and over.

Instead, you want a large number of ideas ready for when you want to pitch one of them. That’s why it’s important to have somewhere to put ideas right when you see or read them instead of having to remember them later.

It’s also important to come up with ideas that will interest those reporters and producers. And one of the best places I have found to come up with interesting pitch ideas is People magazine.

One of the things I do with the clients I work with one-on-one is that you and I create a system for collecting ideas for topics you can discuss in the media, topics that will get you booked on the TV or radio shows or podcasts that can help you grow your business or practice.

Now please remember, on this website, my coaching and everywhere else, that I am not giving business, financial, legal, medical or any other kind of advice here. Talk to a professional for advice specific to your situation.
