BUT first… if you’ve been eyeing my pitching challenge (I see you 👀), this is your last week to sign up!!! If you keep saying “yeah I would like to be in Business Insider eventually, one day far far away…” this is your month to finally do it.
The Pitching Challenge is for you if:
You’re a founder, coach, consultant, or author who already has a business, product, or book, and you know exactly who you serve
You’ve got something worth pitching, but no idea how to actually turn it into a story an editor wants
You have 10-15 minutes a day to actually do the work (this isn’t a “watch and forget” kind of thing; pitches will be sent)
You want to write your own byline, get quoted as the expert, or newsjack a trending story, not just wait to be discovered
You want real feedback from me on your pitches and angles, not just theory
You want a repeatable system you’ll keep using long after the 30 days are up
A look at every call in today’s roundup. Full details, deadlines, and how to submit are below for paid subscribers.
