Here's an 80/20 rule for publicity that I've found to be very effective.
Build 80% of your publicity messages around
needs and problems you help people solve. Devote no more than 20% to projecting yourself as
expert who knows how to best address those specific problems.
When you slice broad expertise into narrower, specific topics and stories, you are almost ready for
media folks to start listening to us! Take a look at some of my other articles to find out how best to contact them.
