Think you don’t have anything press-worthy to say? Think again.
Your next great pitch idea probably isn’t some big, dramatic announcement. It’s something you’ve already said-probably more than once.
Here are five places to look when you’re stuck on what to pitch:
1. Your client inbox
What do people keep asking you? If it’s coming up again and again, it’s clearly something people care about-and that makes it great press material.
2. Your social DMs or comments
What questions do people slide into your inbox with? What posts spark the most replies? That’s a clue you’ve hit on something valuable.
3. Industry myths or frustrations
What makes you roll your eyes every time it’s mentioned? Journalists love a fresh take or myth-busting story that challenges assumptions.
4. Your recent results or wins
What have you helped someone achieve? Real-world examples and insights tied to wider trends are PR gold.
5. Your everyday advice
What’s one thing you say so often you could recite it in your sleep? That’s a sign it’s useful, clear and ready to be packaged as a headline.
The press doesn’t need flashy. It needs to be useful, relevant and real. You already have what you need-it’s just about learning how to shape it.
Start with what’s already in front of you. Your day-to-day conversations are full of PR potential.
