Personal Details

Bio

Do you want news coverage for your business or organization? Convince reporters and editors how you will get them page views beyond their wildest dreams. I will show you how.

After a year of contributing to Forbes.com, I made it to the elite list of 10 Top Forbes Writers. I would love to share all of the SEO and writing tools I used to achieve that.

When I started contributing to Forbes in April 2015, I only covered ETFs and mutual funds. One day a rep with Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary contacted me to do an interview with him about his new O'Shares ETFs. Elated, I asked my editor if I could also do a sidebar about him and the show. Ever since I have been covering my favorite TV show next to Game of Thrones and Silicon Valley.

I started Key Financial Media LLC in 2014 to help investment strategists and financial advisors boost their visibility and credibility by getting them media coverage and ghostwriting their commentaries published in leading industry and mainstream news outlets.

I was a reporter at Investor’s Business Daily for more than eight years, covering stocks, exchange-traded funds and mutual funds. In a previous life, I worked in public radio as a reporter and producer and local TV news as a producer. I earned a Master’s in Communications and Journalism through the Kiplinger Public Affairs Fellowship at The Ohio State University.

How to get quoted in the news

Getting quoted in the news is crucial to building your reputation as a thought leader and expert in your niche. I will explain:

1. How to give reporters the soundbites they're looking for.
2. The easiest way to connect with reporters desperate for your expertise.
3. How to build relationships with reporter so that you become their go-to person when they need insights.

How to get media coverage in the age of page-view journalism

These days bloggers and reporters are getting very little pay yet are expected to produce more as quickly as possible. Their performance and pay are often based on pageviews, likes, number of followers and other vanity metrics.

PR agents, marketers and thought leaders have to provide everything a reporter needs to produce a story on a silver platter. You must think like a journalist and do as much work for them as possible as possible e.g. provide talking points, sources, reports, etc.
