It’s a brand new year.   That means it’s time to resolve to embrace new behaviors that will fuel your prosperity.  If you are serious about earning media attention, the first thing you need to do is pay attention to  the media that matter for your message.    Then, you are in much better position to make winning story pitches that will invite editorial attention.

What business journals, newspapers, magazines, blogs, and broadcast media make your top ten list? Be clear about the media that are best for your message, and you are one step closer to earning the free publicity you seek.  Also, if you are seeking quality leads for your business — and who isn’t? —  many of the business journals and magazines in your trading area offer lists of the top companies, including contact information for the top officers.  These lists can make identifying winning prospects a whole lot easier.
