How to Get Featured on Business Insider
Hi,
I wanted to talk about how to get featured on Business Insider and other major publications.
Getting featured can bring you a ton of traffic to your website and business, help you increase your sales, brand yourself as an expert in your industry, and other benefits.
I’ve been lucky enough to be featured on Business Insider twice, here and here.
I was found because of my posts on Medium. But, if you want to be proactive, here’s how you can reach out to them so you and your work can be showcased.
How to approach BI for a feature
There are a few ways for this to happen…
First, you can hope they notice your work on Medium or other publications. This may or may not happen. My work took notice because on one of the stories, I was one of the only creators covering the topic. And, I wrote a lot about it. The second time, I got lucky and my story went viral and I was approached by having the story picked up by them.
I wouldn’t recommend this. It’s probably unlikely and if it does happen, who knows when it will?
Next, approach them. Here’s how to pitch BI.
Third, browse some of the stories in your niche on BI and look at the author bi-line and blurb at the end of the article. I’ve seen articles where the author asks the public to contact them to be featured. Super easy.
I wish I would’ve bookmarked those articles.
Here are some gems on Medium that are helpful for more info…
