Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the wordpress-seo domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

In addition to teaching authors how to market their books, I work as a freelance writer<\/a>. I research and write reported articles for magazines and businesses.<\/p>\n

Nearly every assignment requires me to find people \u2013 usually experts, but not always \u2013 to interview and quote. I use a range of resources and strategies to find them.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been doing this for a couple of decades, so I have a lot of experience finding people to interview, then working with them to get the information I need.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly.<\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019re going to talk about the ugly.<\/p>\n

How to make sure you don\u2019t get publicity<\/h2>\n

What\u2019s ugly? Ugly is behavior that guarantees that I won\u2019t quote you.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it\u2019s intentional, sometimes it isn\u2019t. But it still results in no interview. And no interview means you won\u2019t enjoy the business-building, book-selling benefits that come with publicity.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to make sure you don\u2019t snag that media interview that can sell books, position you as an authority, and drive traffic to your site.<\/p>\n

1. Act like you\u2019re doing me a big favor.<\/strong><\/h3>\n
