Don't wait for the media to come to you

There she is again. Your biggest competitor. Smiling back at you from the inside of a local business magazine. She's doling out free advice on how to do something you wish people would hire YOU to do. It's the third time you've seen an article by her in the last six months. You wish that, just once, the editors would have asked you-instead of her-to write it.

Guess what? The editors probably didn't ask her. Most likely, she was smart enough to write the article herself and offer it to them-for free.

Editors of newspapers, magazines, trade journals, newsletters and even the free weekly "shoppers" are hungry for articles that will inspire, educate, calm, enlighten, humor, and entertain their readers. They want advice that will help people find more time, save money, feel healthier, look thinner, be safer and have better sex lives. And they rely on people like you and your competitor to provide them.

For more expert advice on how to get your articles published, and in turn get free publicity see Special Report #6 "How to Write "How To" Articles That Position You as an EXPERT"
