HARO


Niche Platform

Free


HARO is a platform you can use to pitch journalists who are looking for sources to include in their upcoming content. After signing up you’ll be added to the Master HARO list where you’ll get three emails a day at 5:35am, 12:35pm, and 5:35 pm ET.

You can choose to get all reporter enquiries in the Master HARO, or select which industry-specific queries you’d like to get.

Pro Strategy: Build quality links to your site by finding journalists reporting on sites with >30 domain authority in your specific industry (use the Moz browser extension to check domain authority). 

Reply to them within 10 minutes of their submission, as journalists are often on tight deadlines and will pick the first quality sources they can find.

PAID MEDIA PLATFORMS

What Platforms Should You Promote Your Content On?

There’s A LOT of content distribution platforms out there to choose from.

The key is to have a content distribution strategy that focuses on using niche,  social, and paid media platforms to consistently push people to your owned media (aka website, email list, etc).

Owned media is where you can build your own audience (retargeting list, email list, and buyers list) so that over time you have your own lists to distribute content to.

To get started:

  1. Pick one platform from the list.
  2. Test promoting your content on that platform for ONE month.
  3. If it works, keep doing it. If not, come back here and try another one.

To keep yourself accountable, download my content distribution checklist and add one platform you’re going to try to the checklist.
