Notes from Chris

Episode 2982

Getting media coverage can feel like an impossible task for small business owners, but it’s often one of the best ways to reach a wider audience.

Today’s question comes from a sustainable home goods entrepreneur who’s ready to expand beyond steady online sales and local markets. She knows that getting featured in online publications or podcasts could make a huge difference but feels stuck on where to begin. Let’s explore practical, low-cost ways to pitch your brand and score meaningful media attention.

"Hi, thanks for taking my question! I launched a home goods brand about a year ago, focusing on products like reusable kitchen supplies and storage solutions. While sales have been steady through my website and local markets, I think getting some media coverage could really help me reach a broader audience. The problem is, I have no idea where to start—pitching journalists and bloggers sounds intimidating, and I definitely can’t afford to hire a PR agency. How can a small business like mine get noticed by online publications, podcasts, or even local media outlets without spending a fortune? I’m willing to put in the effort but need a roadmap for getting started."
