NICHE MEDIA PLATFORMS

Product Hunt


Niche Platform

Free


Product Hunt is where people go to launch (and pre-launch) the best new products every day. Most products are SaaS tools, but you can package any piece of content into a product and promote it on the platform.

Pro Strategy: Convert your content into a pdf, then launch it as a free (or paid) product on Product Hunt.

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.

Then let me know in the comments below right now:

    Chris, great ideas. Thanks for the suggestions. Looking forward to implementing a few of these on some new niches I’m working in. Cheers!!

    • Chris Von Wilpert says:

      Nice one Monica! Best of luck with it.

  • Andres says:

    It is a nice list of options to use when trying to make your content connect with your clients

    • Chris Von Wilpert says:

      Good to hear you enjoyed it Andres!

  • demon smith says:

    ya, you are right but generally, not everyone can publish or distribute content on paid platforms. so I always recommend free platforms for content distribution but there is the only challenge is the language prob. I found a website for Singapore translators that can help me with website translation services by which you can translate your content to promote in different languages.

    • Chris Von Wilpert says:

      Nice one Damon, yeah you don’t need to do paid if you don’t want to. At the top of this post you can filter by all the free platforms. There are over 20 listed in this post.

      If you are translating to different languages, just make sure your offer is also available in those languages. Because at the end of the day content distribution is a tool to help grow awareness of your brand and your paid offer to help people.
