PR and visibility strategies for introverts

PR and visibility strategies for introverts

PR and visibility strategies for introverts

Today’s episode is all about PR strategies for introverts.

Before we dive into today’s topic, I wanted to share about a brand new service I have called the Pitch Power Hour. This is where you and me can chat for 1 hour all about your PR strategy for a specific program or product you’d like to get in front of more people.

Whether you’re wanting to start pitching yourself for podcast interviews to help you grow your email list or have a course launch coming up, I’d love to help you strategize the best pitching options for you! You also receive 1 custom pitch template. Head to link listed below to sign up for a spot!

NOW….onto today’s episode…PR strategies for introverts!

I, too, am an introvert so please know that these tips are coming from someone who knows how you feel.

An introvert may feel uncomfortable at large networking events, feel totally drained after being at a party with a lot of people, you may not enjoy being put on the spot (your mind goes blank)…overall you prefer less social interaction and recharge your batteries by being alone.

You may be thinking that pitching yourself for media opportunities is only for extroverts. People that thrive on being surrounded by a lot of people, being the life of the party, but I’d beg to differ…introverts, especially during these times right now, can thrive off of being visible in ways that aren’t anxiety-inducing.

PR and visibility strategies for introverts

Show notes

In today’s episode, you’ll find out:

  • Why now is the time for introverts to be visible and pitch themselves for media opportunities
  • 6 tips for getting visible as an introvert
  • The number 1 thing you need to do as an introvert before pitching
  • How to use social media during social distancing to network with new people

Hey hey, welcome to the Human Connection podcast, I’m your host Brittney Lynn and today’s interview is with my client Katie Hunt of Proof to Product!

Katie is a business strategist, and mentor to product-based entrepreneurs. She’s worked with thousands of entrepreneurs through her in-person conferences and online courses she offers.

Katie is also the host of the popular podcast, Proof to Product, where she takes listeners behind the scenes of growing a product-based business. Guests share their successes, struggles and how they’ve made difficult but important transitions in their business to continue growing.

Before we dive in, I wanted to remind you that you can now sign up for my free 5-day challenge, Pitchfest, 5 days to your first media mention.

This simple and easy to implement email course guides you in figuring out how to identify your PR pitching purpose, how to find the right places to pitch yourself, crafting your first media pitch and then sending it off! 

You can sign up for it at https://brittneyllynn.com/pitchfest.

Also, I’ve opened up my online course, Impact + Influence, for enrollment! 

If you are in ANY of the following categories, now is the time to be pitching the media:

✨Infectious disease experts⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

✨Health/medical experts⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

✨Economy/financial experts (this includes personal finance tips, debt, student loans, investing, taxes/accounting)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

✨Homeschooling/teaching at home⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I added several payment plan options, one as low as $67/month! Also, if you sign up between now and April 30th you’ll also receive a free 30 min PR strategy consultation with me. 

Also — if you buy during this week, April 13-17, I will be donating 100% of the profits of the course to the MD Anderson Children’s cancer hospital. 

Yesterday was my 32nd birthday and I wanted to do something this week to give back, and give back in a huge way. As many of you listeners know, my 24 year old cousin is being treated for Leukemia at MD Anderson right now. Obviously during this times, the worry and uncertainty has increased 1000% as she has no immune system while being treated. 

I’m hosting a fundraiser where my goal is to raise $25,000 to be able to donate to the hospital. You can go to brittneyllynn.com/fundraiser to learn more about where these funds will go.

So, until April 17th anyone who signs up for my course I will be donating all of those funds to my goal of raising $25,000. 

If you don’t have the funds or it doesn’t make financial sense for you to take my course right now but you want to help, you can go to brittneyllynn.com/fundraiser to donate an amount of money you feel comfortable with. Even $1 helps!
