There are some things that the media detest. One of them is a glorified sales pitch. The media run through advertising sales. That is how they make their money; how they pay their staff, how they run their business and effectively how they make a profit. Every media outlet is a profit-making organisation, thus you trying to sell your product or service is depriving them of advertising revenue. You need to have a convincing enough story to sell to the media. You need to give them a good enough reason to not want to charge you. A one page advert in a UK national newspaper is approx £30,000. Yes, you read that right. Your glorified sales pitch could be netting that media outlet £30,000, so you need to give them a good enough reason not to charge you. The way to do that is to develop a story that is of interest, rather than just a press release telling them why your product is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

One of the important goals for every entrepreneur is to be seen and heard by a lot of people, as this will cause them to be remembered every time people are in need of their services. There are plenty of ways to expose your business to a wider audience. Establishing your online presence is a good example and various social networks like Facebook and Twitter are two examples of perfect mediums that can be used to reach out to people online.
