Dear Creator or Entrepreneur,


Let’s be honest, grabbing a journalist’s attention can feel like speaking a foreign language, right? It can feel frustrating when you spend hours crafting a pitch, only for it to go ignored by reporters, editors, producers, etc.


You’ve got an incredible story to tell—one that journalists will want to cover, but only if you know how to speak their language.


The truth is, if you can’t communicate your message in the language of news, journalists won’t pay attention. The good news is that this is a skill that you can learn.


Imagine what it would feel like to see your name in a top publication, building trust and authority. How would it feel to hear a news anchor introduce you and your unforgettable message?

BRIDGE THE GAP FROM CHANGEMAKER TO NEWSMAKER

You don't think that just by posting a press release announcing your business opening, reporters will rush to cover your story, do you?


Or that simply telling the newspaper about your latest sale or event will guarantee coverage—especially when advertisers are paying big bucks for media attention.


Here’s the reality: If you're relying on basic announcements to get noticed, you're missing the mark. You need a strategy—one that shows reporters why your story is truly newsworthy and cuts through the noise.

STOP PITCHING TO A BRICK WALL: GET JOURNALISTS COMING TO YOU

Look, it’s not that journalists don’t care about what you have to say. They just need you to say it the right way—and I’m here to help you with that.


It’s like shouting into the void when you’re not pitching the right way. But when your message clicks, it’s as if the spotlight is instantly on you. When your pitch lands, doors to opportunity open, and the media comes to you.


Once you tweak your message, things change fast whether it's...


✅ Chatting on the fun and friendly morning show

✅ Showing your expertise in a thought-leading journal or newspaper

✅ Bantering on the air on that talk radio show that people love listening to


When you show up in your audience's favourite places, you become unforgettable.


Ready to break down that wall and make your media strategy work for you?

THE PERFECT PUBLICITY STRATEGY DOESN'T JUST INCREASE YOUR VISIBILITY, IT ALSO...


  • Builds your credibility as an expert
  • Develops engagement and brand loyalty
  • Puts you in front of new audiences
  • Provides unlimited reach for $0

IT'S LIKE HAVING A PERSONAL AMBASSADOR WORKING FOR YOU 24/7

And when you look around at all the successful thought leaders and personal brand authorities you currently follow and look up to...


They’ve mastered the ART of being everywhere, consistently showing up across platforms to build a lasting connection with their audience. When people see them online they instantly feel:


And if your audience isn't feeling this, they may not be finding you... and they definitely aren't buying!

THE NUMBER #1 MISTAKE ENTREPRENEURS AND CREATORS ARE MAKING:

Overcompensating with overly promotional language drives audiences away rather than pulling them in.


You might think this is the only way to get ROI from your marketing efforts, but in reality, you're missing out on the power of positioning yourself as a thought leader.


You've probably experienced it firsthand—how overhyped sales tactics turn you off. When the inbound sales don't come, it's tempting to turn to costly ad campaigns or invest endless hours into social media, hoping for results.


But that's like pouring water into a bucket full of holes—no matter how much time or money you throw at it, it slips right through.

YOU COULD SPEND A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY ON STRATEGIES THAT DON'T STICK

A key problem with most marketing strategies is that they don’t stick. You’re caught in a cycle of posting fresh content every day or pouring more money into ads, only to see campaigns fizzle out.


The truth is, visibility isn’t your real problem—you need to solve the authority problem.


After 13 years of helping clients turn their visibility into long-term authority, I’ve found one strategy that delivers results immediately and keeps working for years. This strategy removes the constant need to create new content and reduces, or even eliminates, the need for an ad budget.


Even if you don’t post on social or run ads, this approach works. It’s time to move out of the marketing business and into the business of thought leadership—where you stop chasing attention and start commanding it.

YOU'RE NOT IN THE MARKETING BUSINESS...YOU'RE IN THE LEADERSHIP BUSINESS

Your business, online program, or creative product needs your leadership and vision to shine. In fact, you deserve to be recognized as the expert in your field!


But right now, you might feel like you're doing everything right—posting on social, creating valuable content, investing in ads—and yet, you're still not breaking through the noise. I understand how frustrating that can be.


Once you learn how to share your mission, vision, and deeper 'why' with the world, you'll rise above all the noise—including free content, low-ticket offers, and competitive products.


When you know what the media is looking for and how to deliver your story, you’ll become the go-to voice in your industry.

BUT I GET IT...

You are probably thinking...

You're right if you think fewer people get their news from traditional sources, but... Consider this:


The truth is, media exposure offers credibility and reach that no algorithm can match. And when you learn how to tap into that, you’ll have a strategy that works for years—whether or not you post on social or run ads.


Search engines consider news organizations to be authoritative sources. Your backlinks will have greater impact


Social media audiences follow news sources in high numbers. Even if they never pick up the paper or access traditional broadcasts, they can discover you online.


When they do discover you, you'll have the expert credibility that a media interview offers.


When event organizers are looking for speakers, they want to see media mentions.


You can own the search results for your name and/or your company name. Push competitors and snarky Reddit reviews right off the first page of Google.


So what's more important?


The amount of time you put into marketing or the quality of the platform you target?


That's where getting featured by the media is essential to propel your visibility without daily effort or ad spend.



Facts About Media Reach in 2024
  • News websites and search engines are the most common way Americans get their news (pewresearch.org)
  • 63% are still watching TV news (pewresearch.org)
  • Over 54% get their news from social media at least some of the time (pewresearch.org)
  • 4 out of 5 Canadians read newspapers in print or digital form at least once a week (News Media Canada)
  • Social media engagement with news is growing: On platforms like X (formerly Twitter), 53% of users regularly consume news (pewresearch.org)

DO YOU CURRENTLY SUFFER FROM MICROPHONE FREEZE SYNDROME?

If you've made it this far, you probably already know that a media relations strategy can work for you. But how do you start? What do you say? What happens when a reporter asks you a question out of the blue and you stumble over your message feeling like a deer caught in the headlights.


You don’t need to be a PR expert. It’s about knowing what to say, when to say it, and how to keep the conversation going.


"How am I going to keep the media interested in what I have to say?"


"Why would the media care about my opinions or my business... or my book... or my online program?"


Look, the media needs experts and storytellers like you as much as you need them. They need stories and sources and people who want to talk to them. I'm not saying that every pitch will hit it out of the park, but once you're on their radar, they'll start contacting you when they need a great quote.


Here’s a little-known fact: Journalists are always on the lookout for fresh, reliable sources—often, they’ll be more excited to hear from you than you think.


Guess what...?

JOURNALISTS ACTUALLY LIKE GETTING PRESS RELEASES

And... There's a simple formula you can use again and again. It's just 8 essential steps that will transform you from overworked marketer working on your visibility instead of your mission... to recognized expert and industry leader.


Each of these 8 steps works together to create a seamless media strategy. Instead of juggling everything at once, you'll focus on one strategic step at a time to move from unknown to expert authority. You'll build a strong foundation one brick at a time.


If you are missing one of these steps, you could be hearing a resounding "No" from potential media partners or, even worse... complete silence.


Instead, step out from behind the curtain with confidence with a proven plan to generate traffic and sales through your as-seen-everywhere media brand.

HOW DO YOU GET MEDIA COMING TO YOU?

One strategic action at a time.


There is a method that ensures your success in the media world. Plus, there's an order you should follow. You don't want to send a ton of traffic if you aren't prepared to convert that traffic to sales. You don't want a must-read press release languishing because you didn't master the pitch.


No more stress or second-guessing. With this simple 8-step formula, you'll move from invisible to in-demand in the media world.


Imagine having a complete guide to getting thousands of excited media consumers into your world by sharing your leadership and expertise.


❌ No more skepticism from potential clients who have "never heard of you"!


❌ No more having to discount your products or services because you're seen as "the little guy"!


❌ No more relying on time-consuming social media or expensive ads!


❌ No more wondering what to say to have an impact!


Even if you’ve never pitched to the media before, this method will guide you with clarity and ease, ensuring you're ready for any opportunity that comes your way.

Imagine your future if...

...You have a plug-and-play strategy for attracting visibility and inbound sales.


....In just five hours a week, you could put this strategy into place and watch it build your expert status for years to come.


...Plus, as you are implementing your strategy, you will see results.


In the first week of the program, we are going to commit to getting featured with an instant pitch... and your visibility will just snowball from there.


The great thing about publicity is that it grows your brand even when you're taking a break. No other strategy can do this for you. Think about it:


💔 When you take a break from social media, your audience forgets about you.

⛔ When you pause your blogging efforts, your traffic nosedives.

📴 When you turn off the ads, you turn off the buyers.

📬 When you forget to email your list, you fall of the radar. Wait too long to restart and you get spam complaints.


When you get a high profile media mention it stays online for years continually positioning you as an industry leader and sending SEO traffic to your website:


🌄 When you're on vacation

👨‍👩‍👧 When you're caring for your family members

➡ When you're just busy writing your next book or developing the next big thing



Wouldn't it be nice to have a strategy that supports your life and business rather than making constant demands on your time and energy?


You don't have to imagine because that strategy is here...

Many years and many products later, they credit this one review for putting their business on a firm foundation. That review? It's still showing up on the first page of Google.

A compelling pitch and a strong press release is a win-win. Journalists discover new stories and you get your message out.

If you don't like what shows up in the search results, it can be hard to be confident in your business. I worked with a CEO who wasn't happy with some negative reviews that kept showing up on the first page of Google. These reviews were from the early years of his business when he didn't have the right systems in place.


Unfortunately, Google never forgets. I worked with him to publish industry-leading thought leadership in newspapers, blogs and magazines. These pieces now show up on the first page of Google instead of old reviews. "I can't tell you how relieved I feel," he told me. His potential clients now discover a thought leader when they research him.

THAT'S GREAT... BUT WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE A FIRM OFFER YET?

The Media Breakthrough Method is for you even if you aren't 100% clear on your offer.


If you aren't clear on your offer it often means:


✅ You haven't figured out why people need it

✅ You aren't sure what makes you stand apart


You may even be wondering...


✅ What do I stand for?


Early on, we are going to work on your message, so that you can get clear on who you are and what your unique gift is.


You will be able to start strong by putting your unique message out to the people who need to hear it.


You will already have an audience of people who know, like and trust you when you are ready to launch your first product or service. Moreover, you will have media partners who are waiting to see what you do next!


You will be launching so far ahead of the pack that by the time your competitors are just getting off the starting line, you'll already be rounding the final corner, with momentum and visibility pushing you toward the finish.

THIS ISN'T JUST A PR COURSE, IT'S A BUSINESS COURSE

Business and creative work is about networking, messaging and momentum. PR takes all of these essential ingredients into consideration to help you create an incredible impact.

PLUS, YOU KEEP THE CONTENT

If you haven't launched by the time you finish the course, you still have access to the recorded modules, your private interview session and all of the workbooks, templates, guides and trackers. You can continue to apply these principles in your current buisiness or any future business or creator project you launch.


Plus, if you decide to pivot your business or just add to it, you can come back and relearn.


Working one-on-one with a PR agency would cost from $2,000 a month and up.


That means even for a short-term campaign, you're looking at spending several thousand dollars before seeing results. For a fraction of this cost, your course gives you the tools to do it yourself and see lasting benefits.


A good copywriter will charge around $200 to $500 for just one press release. While they might write something compelling, you’ll still need to manage the distribution and ongoing PR yourself. If their messaging didn't land right, you're back at square one.


Press release distribution services charge anywhere from $350 to $800+ just to send out one press release. This doesn’t guarantee any media interest or long-term relationships with journalists. You’ll need to pay for each release separately. With the Media Breakthrough Method, you’ll learn to build these relationships on your own and get featured in media repeatedly, without paying for distribution every time.


At the regular investment of $997, the Media Breakthrough Method will allow you save thousands over DFY methods that put you in the passenger seat instead of showing you how to take charge of your unique message.
