Josh Steimle – Power Publishing Contributor Masterclass

Archive: Josh Steimle – Power Publishing Contributor Masterclass

In this masterclass we’ll teach you proven methods to get into top contributor spots. Amongst other things, you will learn:

• How to build the relationships that help you get the attention of editors and lead to writing opportunities (rather than a one-way trip to getting lumped into the “annoying pitches” category);
• How to find the right “angle” to leverage the expertise and knowledge only you have to land your articles right where you want them;
• How to become a better writer by learning to craft your pieces to meet the needs of an editor;
• The strategies for writing the perfect subject line that gets editors to open your email inquiries–and when to use them;
• Why certain articles work (or don’t), using real examples, so you can remove the mystery about what to pitch and learn to see things from an insider’s perspective;
• All the many ways media articles connect back to your bottom line, and how to leverage each one of them to drive sustainable ROI.
• How to write articles that build your personal brand and create results like paid speaking gigs, book deals, career advancement, sales and lead gen, and new business opportunities, exactly like I’ve done for myself, and all without being spammy.
• How to tackle all the processes and “nitty-gritty” details (that seem second nature to a regular, but are overwhelming to a “newbie”); and…
• The daily, weekly, and monthly habits that will enable you to generate a continuous stream of powerful brand- and influence-building content.

This learning curve isn’t easy, but the masterclass will walk you through the process step-by-step so you can see exactly how I and others did it.

Plus, every one of the assignments will provide you with material that you will use to position yourself as the kind of focused, targeted thought leader that editors are desperate to lure to their publications. Before you’re done with the first six weeks in our masterclass you’ll have:

• Your one-sentence positioning statement or “byline” that resonates and sends your message to both editors and your chosen audience
• A long-form bio that describes your focus, shows readers why you are qualified to write about it–and is customized to lure web traffic to subscribe to your list and investigate your products or services;
• A list of business publications you know are front-and-center and relevant for your target audience. You will also identify a “short-list” of editors you’ll want to form relationships with, and the gaps you can step up and fill (along with the dud topics you otherwise would’ve thought were a good idea);
• A collection of great articles that you can refer to for inspiration on writing style and the key elements of success for you to mimic in your own writing; and
• Pitch emails you’ve tailored to your target publications…
