Press & Interview Request FAQ
Common questions about media outreach and press relations for content creators
When should I start reaching out to media outlets?
Start media outreach once you have significant expertise, unique insights, or newsworthy achievements. Generally, creators with 10K+ followers and established expertise in their niche have better success with media outreach, but smaller creators with unique stories or expertise can also succeed.
How do I find the right journalists and media contacts?
Research publications that cover your niche, follow gaming journalists on social media, use media databases like HARO (Help a Reporter Out), attend industry events, and build relationships gradually. Focus on journalists who regularly cover topics related to your expertise.
What should I include in my media kit?
Include a professional bio, high-resolution photos, key statistics and achievements, previous media coverage, expert topics you can discuss, contact information, and links to your best content. Keep it concise but comprehensive - typically 1-2 pages.
How do I follow up on media pitches without being annoying?
Wait 1-2 weeks before following up, keep follow-ups brief and add new value (like a fresh angle or recent achievement), limit follow-ups to 2-3 attempts, and always be professional and understanding if they're not interested.
What makes a press release newsworthy?
Focus on significant milestones, industry firsts, unique insights, major partnerships, charitable initiatives, or trends you're pioneering. Avoid purely promotional content - instead, focus on what makes your story interesting to the publication's audience.
