Don’t Tell Me to Share
Every day people email me things they want me to share on my social networks.

Just don't tell me to share!

Newsjacking Can Work For You! My new course will show you how
Earlier this week I shared an example of how Trent Silver, a young entrepreneur who learned Newsjacking from me, uses the technique to grow his businesses. Just one of Trent’s newsjacking efforts generated $250,000 in new revenue for his young company.
Since that post, many people have asked if newsjacking works for other organizations such as business-to-business outfits, nonprofits, and consultants. Some people have been skeptical about the applicability outside of consumer brands.

Showcase Your Experts to Generate Media Attention and Grow Business
Some of your most important assets for securing interest in the media as well as educating your buyers are the experts who work at your organization. As a part of a virtual newsroom or other appropriate place on your site and blog, highlighting your employees is a great way to generate attention.
