entertainment industry coach question 554: How do I get on tv, radio, in magazines, etc.?

This is a question asked after yesterday's blog.

The answer is you pitch yourself. Emailing pitches to reporters and producers. The pitches should pertain to what's current and your "brand's" twist on it. There has to be a hook and it has to be relevant.

Make sure you're pitching to the right reporters and producers. If you're a horror film director and you have a child in preschool, and want to pitch a story, "Scary Daddy, Spooks Preschool Parents," you wouldn't pitch it to Dateline, but the View might find it entertaining.

Also, if this is new for you, start with local stations and local publications. It takes research to find the right fit, but it's worth it.

entertainment industry coach question 553: What does PR stand for and do I need it?

PR stands for Public Relations and everyone needs it. I've written blogs on branding. Once you are clear on your brand, you want to get it out there!

Outlets for PR are social media sites, blogs, newspapers, magazines, radio shows, and television. You can pay for PR or you can do your own for free depending on how far along you are in your career.

There's so much more to know, so email me if you have questions.
