Think of Marketing as Value (Like a Product)
Instead of thinking of marketing as something you do for or with your prospective buyer, consider it to be value that is baked into your products and services.
Marketing content is the voice that conveys your core message to ideal customers. It guides their experience with your business, holding their attention and earning trust along the way. And that content inspired journey continues long after a purchase is made.

Jerod Morris is VP of Marketing for Rainmaker Digital. Jerod manages the ongoing education at Digital Commerce Institute, which is hosted on the Rainmaker platform. He also hosts The Showrunner, The Digital Entrepreneur, and Assembly Call podcast shows.
Trust the Fundamentals of Engagement
Early in his career, Jerod Morris found himself selling a product door-to-door. Those one-to-one selling experiences are great teachers. According to Jerod, "You learn to listen, ask a question, and patiently watch and observe to then intelligently respond."
The fundamentals of engagement work equally well online if you adopt an 'audience of one' mindset. Jerod says, "The only sure way to build audience engagement is to create something that elicits the response, this is for me."
Listen to the audio to get the full story about Assembly Call, The Showrunner and more. These targeted shows prove the secret to audience engagement is creating content that is so narrowly focused, it attracts its ideal audience like magic.

How to Reach out To Journalists
You can find journalists on Twitter or LinkedIn, but one of the best ways is to simply Google a topic or category to find journalists that are writing on topics relevant to your expertise.
Your pitch to them should be short, but more important, it must be personal or it will get quickly deleted. It just takes a little bit of research to do this right.
When you contact a journalist, mention you noticed he or she has written about a topic relevant to your expertise, and cite the source. Then simply share a few thoughts that build upon the subject matter, potentially for creating a follow-up piece.
Listen to the audio to learn her recommendations for discovering the publications and media outlets that are right for you, and how to use analytics to best allocate your resources.
