One of the most common mistakes I see authors, speakers and consultants make is to not focus on visibility. For some reason, they think all the need to do is have the “thing” such as a book, speech or service, and somehow, someway, people will discover them.
Not so! The fact is, you have to be very proactive in your efforts to gain visibility.
There’s an art and science to gaining visibility. The art of visibility is something that most experts refine over time. They learn what does and does not work with their messaging.
They discover what social media platforms are best for their market.
They find out what media outlets are best targeted for their message.
The science of visibility is aligned with the art. It’s a process of trial and error, analytics, stats, and feedback.
Because of the number of people who ask me how I’ve managed to gain so much visibility, I’ve put together a one day training that addresses the topic of Rock Star Visibility for Today’s Entrepreneur.
One very underutilized tool is a media release aka press release.
To show you, real time, how I use media releases, here is the first of several for my upcoming event. Each will have a different slant (hook) and be distributed a minimum of two weeks apart.
Distribution will be in the Pacific Northwest in order to have a targeted approach. It will be sent via email, web pages, forms and other online means to television, radio, newspapers, monthly and weekly publications.
For Immediate Release
