10 Ways To Become A Go-To Media Expert In Your Field
Want to tell thousands of people about your practice? Tips to landing regular media interviews.
What do you think of when you think of professional networking? Private practice therapists who I’ve worked with in business consultations usually consider networking to be meeting with other like-minded professionals for lunch or handing out business cards to physicians offices. While those are important ways to make connections that build your therapy practice, there are other ways to get the word to thousands and thousands of people in one shot, instead of just a few folks at a time. Rarely do therapists think of networking with producers, reporters and journalists.
Over the last few years I’ve focused on developing relationships with producers, journalists, and reporters in various media platforms. There are a few who now contact me for quotes when they need expert quotes or interviews. I’ve landed regular local TV, radio, and news interviews as well as interviews with top-tier publications and shows: Wall Street Journal, Fox News, Parenting, Woman’s Day, Women’s Health, and others. Here are some things I’ve learned about what works when building relationships with reporters, journalists and producers.

Maybe one day you’ll sign up for one of my practice building webinars, but until then, put these on your calendar!
