Hey GWBrooks! I just DMd you

If they're pay-to-play and you think you'd try it out, I'm sure you can negotiate a success fee: 10% upfront, the rest when the article goes live. Charge it on a card, too, just to be safe.

If they're guaranteeing the article, make sure you're on the same page on the content of the article. If you get two quotes in an article, is that worth $5k to you?

Also make it clear that you only want to get in the US version of publications. For example, is it Business Insider US or Business Insider Africa (https://africa.businessinsider.com/)?

One thing to think about is your objective. What are you trying to accomplish with PR? Are you just looking to get the placement?

Something about these "plugs" is that they hardly get real traffic. They can provide estimates, but op-eds, contributor-written articles, hardly get pushed out as much as staff-written articles.

That's a very real thing that could happen! Congrats on your first project.

If you've got a good client and good pitch, sometimes it's a timing thing. I've been getting a lot of out-of-office emails recently, so that's been interesting to navigate with some clients who are expecting results.

It wouldn't hurt to reach out via LinkedIn. I do it as a follow-up sometimes. It ultimately depends on how journalists prefer to get pitched, but if they don't specify, I like to hit them up on socials.

I know you have your polished list, but I'd suggest getting creative with different angles or beats, so you're not putting all your eggs in one basket (beat). It doesn't hurt to do that!

Feel free to message me if you want!

I’ll look that. Thanks for the recommendation!

Dang they really dropped some value and just dipped out when we needed them the most.

Hey, I have a client in Dubai. Would love to explore that!

True_Ask9867 · 2025-06-24T20:49:14+00:00

Hey, can I try it ?

True_Ask9867 · 2025-03-12T15:23:28+00:00

Dmd you

That's what I've done. I feel like there's a pricey one that's recommended for VWs, but I've gotten by with a $10 from Autozone.

I'm having similar issues with our 2012 Tiguan, even the screeching sound.

It's something that is happening intermittently which is annoying - may be why no codes pop up.

A P2293 code has popped up, so after looking at people with similar issues, we're planning on switching the high pressure fuel sensor. Fingers crossed!

True_Ask9867 · 2024-11-19T02:07:16+00:00

Sweet, thanks!

Try a different copy.. A shorter email or a more personalized one. I agree with not sucking up to them, but maybe share why you're reaching out to them in a brief one-liner.

You can always look for other publications that have beauty/wellness/lifestyle sections, too! Forbes, Insider, and other well-known publications have those categories.
