Episode Highlights
"I think the number one myth is that you need to be somewhere further along in your business to get PR. It's simply not true. Journalists want to interview people from all walks of life, especially fresh voices. So journalists absolutely want to talk to small business owners. They absolutely want to talk to people who are even beginning, who have never gotten PR before." - Gloria Chou
“It's advertising what they're selling out there because they're selling you packages of advertising, which is not public relations. And public relations are done to expound upon what kind of problem you solve, right? And what credibility do you have? So I love that.” - John Rankins
“You are the best spokesperson for your business. You're the best advocate and hero for your business. It's time you own it. And here's the thing, if you pay an agency, they own the relationships. And the moment you stop paying them, they walk away with the relationships. I'm not saying that there's no place and time for agencies. They do great work if you have a lot of money and a lot of runway. But for the average small business owner, it's absolutely not feasible.” - Gloria Chou
“If you're going to approach a journalist and you're using the word pitch, I like the word collaborate, cooperate more. But essentially that's what you're doing. You're pitching your idea. And what comes out of all of that with what you're saying in your CPR framework to me is. It's gotta be newsworthy, help a journalist out, help a reporter out, right? It's gotta be newsworthy and add value to their readers.” - John Rankins
