For example, we are currently working on a content marketing piece. Even before the design of the piece was finished we sent out journo requests and response sources asking for industry experts to comment on the topic that we are covering. Even though we have decided it won’t be necessary to put these comments into the piece, we can use all this different information from a range of sources to pitch are content marketing piece in to publications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 id=\"3-twitter-and-hashtags\">\u003Cstrong>3.

You do have to filter through them but once you spot a journalist looking for comment or content in your or your client’s industry you can then contact that person or save their contact info as a possible future collaboration. Instead of doing a Google search which will bring you some of the biggest bloggers and publications in the industry, you can use Twitter to find more niche content. Not to mention that from my own experience I have very seldom had a response on Twitter where they are charging a fee for a feature or a link.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you are sending out requests yourself to build an article or piece of content (as mentioned above), or you are looking for requests to get your client or business featured in Twitter is a good way to go – especially because it is free! It is no news that social media is used by millions of users every day so it should be incorporated into all areas of your Digital PR and SEO strategy – you want someone’s voice or opinion?

Similarly to when started a business, it is important to build relationships in the early days and respect that loyalty as you grow. It is no different in the world of offpage marketing – it’s who you know and it’s how to utilise those contacts. You’ll never know unless you ask so never be afraid to revisit journalists, publications or bloggers that you have worked with before.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Get relationships with:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003Cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Journalists\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cbr \u002F>\n\u003C\u002Fspan>You help them and they’ll help you.
