Want to know how to pitch your products to the media.
I constantly have customers asking me this. As I have stated many times, you have to pitch a story, not a product. Writers are looking for stories, so you have to give them one or at least put an idea in their head.
Here are some recent story ideas that might help you see the types of editorial writers are looking for, and whether you can tailor the pitch to something you sell.
Keep in mind, if you are pitching to blogs they are currently working on articles for August, but magazines in print are working on November/December issues, so story ideas should be relevant to the time of year the piece will come out.
