Feed the Media Webinar Series for Resume Writers & Career Coaches
Insights from a reporter, magazine editor, TV producer, and PR professional on how resume writers and career coaches can get themselves featured on television, in newspapers, magazines, and online media as a free or low-cost way to attract your ideal clients



The media is hungry for stories to help their readers and viewers in their careers. Feed them!

Get more one-to-one clients, attract listeners to your podcast, launch your book, get more readers for your blog, promote an event, recruit members for your LinkedIn group, or just position yourself as an expert! Publicity can do all of these things -- and more! And it doesn't have to cost you a cent. This training will show you not only WHAT to do, but HOW.

• Ever wonder why some career professionals are featured on TV or in magazines -- but you're not?
• Want to learn specific strategies to get newspapers and magazines to write about YOU??
• Learn WHAT to do and HOW to do it -- for free or at a very affordable cost


This webinar series will include two individual training calls and one bonus Q&A call for those who have registered for both training calls. You can choose to register for either or both training calls.

Both training calls include extensive handouts, including templates, checklists and cheat sheets to help you implement the training immediately.

TRAINING CALL #1: Getting Started (Who, What, When, Where, Why) -- What works? Who do you need to contact? When is the best time to make contact and get coverage? Where can you get quoted? Why seek publicity instead of just doing an ad?

TRAINING CALL #2: Advanced Strategies. You have the basics. Now what? Beyond news releases to pitching. How to leverage publicity into more publicity. How sponsored segments work. How to newsjack a story. Tips for TV specifically. Other ideas for getting publicity outside of TV, newspapers, magazines, and radio.

BONUS CALL #3: Question-and-answer call for those registered for both Call #1 and Call #2. What questions do YOU have? Get them answered live!


Dates:
Training Call #1: Tuesday, Aug. 9 -- 10 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. Central
Training Call #2: Tuesday, Aug. 16 -- 10 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. Central
Bonus Call (Q&A): Tuesday, Aug. 23 -- 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Central


The webinar will be presented online via the Join.me platform -- accessible via desktop, laptop, or mobile device (Android, iOS). All calls will be recorded.
