I was featured In Business Insider (again)!

A few weeks ago, I got an email from a Business Insider editor. They wanted to syndicate one of my articles and asked for permission to do so.

I happily said yes and it ran, yesterday!

This is my second Business Insider feature!

Here’s my first:

Here’s how it happened and what you can do to get media features/mentions, too!

How do I get media mentions/features with no pitching

First, pitching is super powerful. It’s a great way to get featured but, that’s not what I did here.

I wrote great content online and got noticed.

Getting noticed resulted in thousands of views on my content, catching the attention of editors of publications like Business Insider (I was also featured in Forbes a few years back when I was running my online store).

After writing great content, the next thing is to make it easy for editors to contact you.

I do that in my profile.

Jenn Leach Medium profile

I put my business email address in my profile on Medium. I also display it publicly on social media, platforms, online communities, and other places I hang out online.

It’s how people can reach me to:

  • Work together on a joint venture
  • Feature me on a publication
  • Hire me for freelance work
  • Ask about sponsorships on my blog and social media

That’s it!

That’s my simple 2-step formula for getting found online and being featured in publications.

Here’s the Business Insider feature that went live yesterday:

Do you have any tips for media mentions/features?
