Hello!
In the olden days, of the pre-pandemic era, the 1st week of the month meant one thing: "What To Pitch: May"
You got to listen to all of the relevant ideas that could work right now for pitching the news media for print coverage in magazines, and the digital media for blogs and digital editions.
Today, we are still running the weekly TuneUp in a Live Office Hours fashion that is for members to call in to to ask any of their burning questions, but the theme can be "What To Pitch: May"
HINT: Print magazines always are working 6 months out. For instance, an interior design magazine is shooting photography for their Fall issue and needs fall colors right now. As the purple lilacs bloom in May.
Use the PR Planner and Tracking Template. to help plot and track your media coverage. It is free for Members of Tin Shingle, and a cost for those who are curating their Tin Shingle tools.
Tin Shingle Members can attend this TuneUp Office Hour session as a way to have a micro-brainstorming session on their own marketing needs. The time will be shared and moderated. Come join us if you haven't yet! Private Training is always available with a discount to Tin Shingle Members, and group connections are always appreciated.
About TuneUp Office Hours
If you are a member of Tin Shingle, come on today's Members-Only TuneUp! These are closed sessions, and not open to the public. This is a safe space for Tin Shingle Members to come in with brainstorms to give and get feedback.
You can turn on your video camera to speak eye-to-eye, or just talk on the phone or through your computer speakers.
In this series, members of Tin Shingle with the Media Kit Membership can call in to workshop any need in their marketing campaign, including:
Media Pitching: What a pitch to a certain media outlet should look like, and how it should read.
Instagram: How to get sales and create PR opportunities from you posts.
Facebook: How do you increase traffic from this platform?
Website: The media will circle back to evaluate their website. What are they seeing, and is it clear?
SEO: What's your game plan? Let's get one. You don't want to miss out on all that search traffic.
HOW IT WORKS:
Tin Shingle's owner Katie will moderate the call.
She will rotate through people on the call, and encourage each other to contribute to each person's challenge as a conversation.
